INCENDIARISM CHARGE

proposition, and Knell could do Moth

CAPTAIN Grim GETS Canned
State University Leaders Fall Under
Faculty Ban For Deficiency.
in Scholarship.

SEATTLE. Oct. 12.-The University
Of Washington football team is without
"a captain. At the very beginning OF
the season, before the first game has
been played and when hard schedule
is Just about to be opened, the team
finds itself without a chief to direct
it's movements on the gridiron. This
information leaked out yesterday aft
ernoon and there has been no refuta-
ton Of the rumor that Captain Grim is
out of it.
Failure to pass a condition examina-
ton is said to be responsible for the
capable captains detection. Last year
on account Of press of outside work
he unfortunately was conditional, and
at the examination the other day again
failed to- pass.
The fate that has befallen Captain
Grim can hardly be credited, as he has
played on the varsity team for the
past three years continuously, never
having been kept out OF the game by
unsatisfactory college work. He is a
strong student and mas always proved
himself equal to mis- work.
1t is said the faculty athletic COM
mittee met last night and considered
Crims collegiate grades, with a view
if possible, to adjusting his standing
on the eleven. One member of the
committee has always maintained
that no favoritism should be shown an
athlete to enable him to play and it is
thought to be an assured fact that
Grim is out of it for good and all, I'M
less ne can pass another examination.
Last spring Grim did some teaching,
and this fall he has been very busy
with his advance work. outside duties
and football. 1t could not be learned
this morning whether he will be given
another examination. If he is not
granted another chance the team
must seek a new captain.
Captain Grim is the most expert
enced all around football player turn
ing out this year. For three years ne
has played center on the varsity with
a reliability and efficiency that have
elected commentator from critics of
the game. Before coming to the State
University he played guard on the
Simpson college eleven. Although
weighing only 16S pounds, he has prov
ed himself capable of handling 300
pound center with embarrassing re-
suits to the larger man.

STATE UNIVERSITY At THE LINEUP
Personnel Of the Football EIever
Which Meets Whitworth
Tomorrow.

Football Coach Victor NJ. Place, of
the University of Washington, has
picked the men who will represent the
varsity on the gridiron this fall, un-
less better players appear to displace
them. The team, as now chosen will
play against Whitworth callege in Ia
coma next Saturday, unless in the in
term more desirable men show up,
says the Seattle Times.
The first game of the season in
which the collegians had chance to
see what the varsity can do on it's
own grounds took place this afternoon
with the sailors team from the United
States cruiser Philadelphia.
Following is the makeup of the uni
versity eleven, subject to changes dur
crack at the positions on account Of
their superior showing, and if they
have the honor of wearing the COL
lege emblem at the expiration of the
season.
Center, Grim, 1853 pounds; left guard
Tegtmier, 17S pounds; right guard,
Reser, 1876 pounds; left tackle, Jarvis,
176 pounds; right tackle, Bragton, 172
pounds; left end, Burke, 145 pounds;
right end, Boggs, ISL pounds, quarters,
Bane, 125 and Parker 1856; fullback,
Bagshaw, 1856; left half, Willis, 161;
right half, Canutt, 165.
The average weight Of this aggre-
cation is only 1853 pounds, the lightest
the university has ever had, but the
heaviest Place has ever coached. Mr..
Place is consequently not the least
discouraged by the lightness of the
team Speaking to a Times reporter
he said:
1--WE are goingOto have a rafting
good team here before the season is
over 1t is very light, but it is the
heaviest eleven I have ever developed.
1 have always had lighter teams and
they have been good ones at that.
Many of these fellows are just full of
football. 1 never saw a more promis-
ing lot. To be sure, we are laboring
under some disadvantages so far as
the absence of weight is concerned,
but with the new rules I think we
can hold our own with any of them
We have a practice game tomorrow, at
which time I can see whether some of

GETS EXTENSION OF TIME
Warren Company Delayed in Starting
Work on PendIeton Streets.

Work on PendIeton Streets.
A 60 days extension of time was
last night granted to the Warren con-
struction company by the city council
for the completion of the work of paw
ing Main and Court streets, says the
Pendleton Tribune.
According to the terms of the orig
inal contract the work was to have
been completed by next Friday, Octo-
Der II.
Frank Reese of Los Angeles, who is
the official promoter of the company,
appeared at the council meeting last
evening and pointed out, that it was
through no fault of the construction
company that the work had not been
completed, but rather through the fail
ure of the railroad company to deliver
the machinery. His explanations were
satisfactory to the council and the ex-
tension was granted.
Mr.. Reese also stated that if the
machinery arrived within the next
three days as it probably would, the
work would be accomplished within
80 days. He said that they had simp-
ly asked for so days, so that in case
of any contingency that might occur,
they would not be compelled to again
come before the council and ask for
further time.
