SHOW Up WELL
IN TRY0UT GAME
WHITMAN is GIVEN GOOD FOOT
BALL PRACTICE BY LOCAL
HIGH SCHOOL.

In two ten minute halves the local
! high school team was defeated by a
| team from Whitman composed of first
and second team material of the col
lege to the tune of II to 0.
After the first few minutes of play
things were all on the side of the
Missionaries who had about 20 pounds
per man the best of the high school
players. But during those first few
minutes, Whitman did nearly every
thing she could to lose and high school
was in the game watching for all such
chances. High school kicked off and
ran down the field and got the ball
which they lost on downs.
Clear through the nigh school played
a snappy and gritty game. They
showed coaching and good coaching.
Although many of the team had never
been in a game before they played
like veterans though .hopelessly out
classed by the heavy college lads. High
schools captain, Oldright, was the
jest man On lHdl ttotnl L lllle anu
again he broke through the heavy line
of his opponents but never succeeded
III getting his man. The rest of the
high school played the game all the
time, as we'll and can be coun, ed on to
show up the scholastic teams around
here.
St
years first team players in the lineup.
There were several more however, who
will likely be in the lineup this year.
First and foremost among these is
Doc" Brubaker. He is the best
quarterback who ever played on the
Whitman gridiron and rot only did he
handle the team well, run signals fast
and use good judgment everywhere,
but he was in every play and was
good for a yard with the ball after the
man had been tackled. He has weight
and brains and should help materially
to pull down the championship for the
Missionaries.
Martin rs another star of the first
magnitude who is just rising above
the football horizon. His end runs were
a feature of the game yesterday and he
will be a good varsity man this year.
Young Borleske at end played a fierce
game and showed up well. In spite of
his light weight he will give some one
a hard rub for all end position. Brain
ard played his position well and may
be seen in collegiate games this year.
Of the first team players there is lit
tie to say. Borleske played the same
old game and never stopped working a
second His Schance for all northwest
half should be good. Rigsby was
there with the dope all the time and
although he was not sent with the ball
much. he made good interference.
: Considering the fact that this was
only the second scrimmage of the year
for the Whitman team, they showed
up WELL They showed lack of hard
work however, and lost their wind far
easier than their plucky little oppon-
ents. AS they could depend upon
weight. little attempt was made at
speedy playing which would have
taken their wind entirely.
Little out of the ordinary was at
tempted in plays. S. Borleske made
pretty try for a field goal. but missed
bv a hairs breadth, the ball striking
the crossbar His brother recovered
the ball. however. ard made touch
down. Two forward passes were
spoiled by Brubaker throwing out OF
bounds.
Both coach and captain are well sat
isfied with the result of the game and
expect things to line up stronger IN
the next game Dimmfcks shoulder IS
improving. Lyman will be back in
few days. Philbrook and Spagle Will
he in the next line up. The next game
will be with the Pendleton hlgn
school on the local grounds next Fri
dav afternoon at $3.50.
