STATE "U' WILL
PLAY whitman
ONE OF THE BIGGEST GAMES OF
THE SEASON TO BE PULLED
OFF HERE FRIDAY.

| For the first time in many years
! Whitman will play the University OF
Washington in Walla Walla. The game
is scheduled for Friday of this week
at 3 D. m. Next to the Thanksgiving
game, it is the biggest game of any
kind which will be played ia Walla
Walla this school year.
For. two years Whitman has tied the
state "U'' on her own grounds, last
year playing her a no score game and
the year before making it to 6. This
year the Missionaries are determined
to rub it into the big school and rub
it in hard.
The lineup for the game Friday will
be practically that of last Friday, al
though Camp will replace Harvey at
guard in all probability. Borleske will
not be in the gme bu, all the other
players will play their accustomed
PAGES. Philbrook's knee is still iii bad
shape but he is determined to play the
game.
| According to all dope sent out from
the state university, she is in hard
straits The men are sick with colds
and fevers, their knees and ankles are
sprained and ligaments strained and
ruptured in fearful numbers. Yet not
withstanding all this hard luck dope
dished up for The benefit of the teams
| Washington is to meet this fall, it is
certain that she will send team over
here which will give a good account of
itself and may possibly trim the Mis-
Sionaries. Coack Reuber of WhitWOrth
said Washington has a fine aggregation
of individual stars, but they did not
1 play together when they met his team.
But that has been several weeks ago
and Place may have his men whipped
into a clock-like machine by the COM
ing Friday. They are confident of vic
cory although they have played but
few good games. Their score against
the NJ. A A. c. of Portland shows they
can play and they may get touch of
this old time ginger in their work and
play much better than they have been.
whitman 0nOUIo WIN.
| If comparative scores show anything
at all Whitman will beat Washington.
and beat her badly. While these are
not always safe criterions by which
to judge. yet it certainly looks as if
| Whitman had the long end. Whitwort h
was beaten by the state 'U' only by
the small score of to and specta-
| tors say it was all WhitwOrth's game.
Whitman had no trouble skinning the
Tacoma college II to and had it not
| been for the high wind -. Again.
Whitworth played the u. S. S. Nebras-
lla to a standstill While that team
played Washington 10 to 5. This looks
good for WhitwOrth and Whitman
drubbed her soundly so that it looks
as if Whitman would win out from the
big school in spite of the disparity in
the size of the schools.
! After the game with the team from
the Nebraska last Saturday, the stu
dents Of the university did not. as usual
accompany their team off the field but
deserted and the players skunk off the
field like whipped curs' The students
throughout the game called for Jim
my Knight, their old coach, wha was
on the side lireA much to the en-
barrassment of Coach Place. who was
on the side lines. But one thing is GER
TAIN the university will make a des-
perate effort to beat the local school,
Looking for Revenge.
For last year Whitman beat her in
to standstill in footbll. This is rather
humliating for the big u. with her
Amany frats and the game will be a hard
one without doubt.
Experts on the coast are in doubt as
to the outcome and most of them pre-
dict the defeat of Whitman, whose
team they have not as yet, seen play.
However. the Whitworth coach. cap
tain and manager all unite in saying
that Washington will get all that is
coming to her when she strikes the
local team and that unless some bad
streak of luck strikes the local team,
they will wipe the earth with the uni
versity eleven.
This is one of the biggest weeks of
the season in football. The six big
teams of the northwest meet in various
places throughout the northwest to do
battle and Saturday night will see
three of them ont of the championship
race. These three are likely to be the
L. of l., O. A. c. and the T. of w In
this case, there viii be no further de-
Gliding game until Thanksgiving, wher.
Pullman meets Whitman here unless
by some mischance Whitman should
lose TO the L. of l. or the w S. C. to
the L. of w, neither of which is at all
likely.
