showed the Spokane Athletic Club up
to the tune of 70 to last Saturday,
but it was not due to any particularly
bright team work on the part of the
locals. While the wearers of the
crimson and gray got away for long
runs repeatedly, it was generally on
account of the extreme weakness of
the opponents. Many long gain was
made after the signals were mixed up
back of the crimson and gray line and
these gains were as much due to acct
dent as anything else. Had a strong
team been the opponents in this game,
the score would have been decidedly
different. Perhaps it was because the
W.S.C. team knew it had an easy
thing, but even at that, it is mighty
poor policy to take things so easy as
the Pullman boys did Saturday at
different stages of the game.
This is not saying that there was
no team work at all Saturday for there
was some, once in a while; and what
there was was beautiful to see. In
vincible interference earned many a
touchdown, but the question is, would
it have been invincible, had there been
a football team playing against VS..
c. The way signals were forgotten in
that game was something awful. The
sometimes resulted in touch
downs, but the signals were disobeyed
nevertheless, and a team that can't
obey signals and obey them right at
this stage of the season, is liable to
run up against snag now that the big
games are about here.
The individual work of the W.S.C.
players was brilliant and spectacular.
Quarterback Bryan got away for more
long runs than he ever did before,
three touchdowns, one after
81 yard run, another with 55 yard
gain and the other from Spokane's SO
yard line. Besides that he made
gains of Is and IS yards. with several

during the second half, made the long
est run of the day. advancing the pig

yard gain at critical moment. Cap
tain Nissen made three touchdowns.
He made three gains of %, 40 and AZ
yards respectively besides many below
20 yards. Nissen is getting the fac
ulty of handling the ball in a mastery
manner on the forward pass and used
this good deal Saturday. Hardy
line bucks were repeated time and
again for 10 to Is yards and he got
four runs over 20 yards long. Cave,
who played right half during the first
of the game and at right end during
the last half, was consistent ground
gamer and hard to stop, while Colds
worthy also made several good gains,
one netting % yards.
Hahn had a decidedly off day at
kicking goals Saturday. His good
right foot refused to respond as it. usu-
ally did and Hardy kicked five of the
goals. The biggest, spectacular piece
of work in the game was when Hardy
made drop kick from the az yard
line which sailed as straight as an ar
row between the goal posts and over
the cross bar. Hahn sprung happy
surprise when he overlook a Spokane
man who had broken through the line.

downs, Bryan and Nissen each made
three. Hardy two and Cave and Buck
one each. Hahn kicked two goals and
one field goal and Hardy kicked six
goals and two field goals. Miner and
Miller were out of the game on account
of injuries. Evergreen.
