willamette Will Line up With
Washington Team To-
morrow


bunch Of football players that ever
struek this town and they will be able
to give a good account of themselves
tomorrow afternoon. They are fast as
well as big and have demonstrated al
ready the fact that they are going to
be the undisputed champions Of wash
fngton. This means that the contest
TO be waged on the local gridiron to-
morrow afternoon is very likely to de-
termine the northwest championship |
for this season.
Coach Bishop, however, is confident
that his men will be able to win by a
small .nargin, though he thinks that ne
is putting up his team against propo-
sition which is probably the equal OF
either of the California big teams. The
coach's confidence is also shared by
each Of tho players and they are pre-
pairing to play the game Of their lives.
For the first time this season the lor
cal men will all be in the game, and in
their regular positions. The men are
in the very pink of condition physi-
cally, and their team work is as near
perfect as 1t can be. II certainly was
an enthusiastic bunch Of supporters
that stood on the side lines yesterday
afternoon and watched the men work
out.
Coleman and Philbrook, the "kick-
ers." were in their very best form.
Coleman's strong right leg sent the
sphere whirling through the air for
punts Of from 40 to 55 yards, while
Philbrook, on the ''kickoff, " sent the
pigskin sailing high over the goal line
time after time.
Nearly every man on the team will
bo given a chance to advance the ball
tomorrow, and that means that big
"Phil" for the first time this year viii
be seen smashing the line with the
slippery sphere tucked snugly under
his arm. This announcement has
caused a thrill of pleasure to those who
have seen the big fellow hit the line
in former games.
Pollard, Of course, will be there with
the goods. "Polly" always has been
the bulwark Of the team, but this year
he is stronger and steadier than ever,
With him and Stonewall" Marker
side by side, it will certainly take
giants 10 break through.
Keller, the other tackle, while not
such a sure ground gamer as Pollard
is fully his equal in making holes in
the opposing line through which the
man with the ball can pass through FOL
big gains.
Coleman and Henkle at ends are bott
playing star ball, and il any one gets
around them they will be compelled tC
go some, and then some.
The names Of the four men behind
tho line are those TO swear by. Pattor
at quarter will be heard giving hii
signals, while yet underneath the pile
and he is not only swift and SURF
passer, but a hard man to down OF
the quarterback run.
The three backs, Mace, RAIDER anC
Long, are three stars, equally good OF
defensive as offensive. "Raeehorse'
Mace was tho star in the StanforC
game. "Bo" RAIDER, in the Berkeley
while Ions reputation is still shining
from last year.
For subs, there is a bunch Of mel
who are almost the equals Of the reg
ulars. Ford Lounsberry, Mcknight
Hewitt and Sanders will all be in uni
form ami ready to take the place o
any who may be compelled to drop out
The local men and their admirer
will be out for light practice thi
afternoon, and there will also be
practice game between the Junior vii
lamettes and theSalem high school
The big game tomorrow will b
called at $3.50. A strong wire ha
been stretched around the field to kee
/ everybody out Of the way Of the play
ers and the seats in the grandstan
have been thoroughly scrubbed I
make everything as pleasant as poss
bic for the spectators.
The weather bureau reports that tn
weather viii be cool and clear, whie
is ideal for football.
