TACOMA, Wash. March 25.-As a
corollary to the proposition of the
combine between Governor Mcbride
ana Mayor Campbell. the question has
arisen, Will Mcbride carry Pierce
county? Politicians who secuted the
idea week ago were saying yester-
day that it is one of the things most
likely to come to pass.
There seems now to be no longer
any doubt among a majority of the
polluclans of the county that an under

the politicians have received assur-
anceS from one source or another to

doubt that the fact exists: their prob

Changes To Be Made Before the Game with

Columbia football players we're disconsoate yes

but they took some small comfort in the fact that
Princeton rco. suffered a defeat. and that all the
big had the hardest kind OF work in their
contests day before yesterday. Columbia men in
general. however found their source OF disappont-
ent not in the defeat OF the eleven so much as in
its wretched playing 1t cannot be denied. O.:
course that Columbia faced q better eleven. but
even admitting that II NAV be doubted whether the
Columbia team really dia itself justice on Saturday,
certainly the team never played so poorly. Almost
every fault characteristic OF bad football was shown
BY the Blue and White There was an utter lack

GlSaSter when the big games OF the year are TO

more trouble than any other part of the team
The coaches must, indeed, be hard put TO it

yale will have to play better football than she
did Saturday If she is 70 win against the Sol
diers.
columbia's defeat at the hands of Amherst
must be most dtscouraging to the friends OF the
New-fOrk eleven. 1t revealed the fact that the
defence Of the local players is AT present as
toundingly weak The left Of her line appears
to be especially easy to pierce. and Amherst
could depend upon getting through it whenever
she liked. Only series Of fUmbles by the New
England runners at critical moments kept their
score from reaching much higher total and
she made one touchdown that was not allowed
because of holding in the line. It seems likely
that II Columbia is 70 make a good record this
season radical steps must be taken promptly TO
brace uD her line. At present her outlook is
anything but bright

Brown had fumbled her own 25-yard line
