ALL IS READY
FOR BIG GAME
Practice Last Night Showed
Lots Of Ginger
PULLMAN TEAM HAS ARRIVED
BIGGEST GAME OF THE SEASON
r WILL BE CALLED ON ANKENY
FIELD At 1880 TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.

Everything is ready at the college
for the big game tomorrow. This is
always the big game of the season, no
matter how many other games have
been won or lost by the contesting
teams. The records of the opponents in
tomorroW's game are so nearly equal
that the game is bound to be interest
ing. Both have been putting il. few
extra licks in preparation for the event
and there will be things doing on An
keny field when the whistle blows to-
morrow at 1:3O
There has been some kicking on the
81 admission Which Manager Schmidt
found it necessary to charge. AS was
explained in these columns last night,
the price is reduced to IS cents if
tickets are purchased with the pig
skin folders, which are being given
away at the Book Nook today. In this
manner admission is within the reach
of ALL
The entire west side of the field will
be lined with bleachers tomorrow.
Many new sections are being put up
today and the new bleachers will af-
ford seating for all who attend.
On the east side of the field there
will be seats reserved for the Pullman
Students who are coming down on the
special train tomorrow. There will be
about 500 students on the w. S. c..
side and the roofing should be a feat
ure of the game. Whitman will occupy
gether with all Whitman sympathizers
and rooters.
Dorsey Will Enjoy It.
For the first time in the last 10
years, Dorsey Hill will watch the game
from the sidelines tomorrow. For wears
Dorsey has officiated in the games
here and the year he coached the team
here was probably the only one he has
hot acted as referee. His reputation for
fairness has never been questioned In
fact when Idaho played here last yeaf
and no one could be decided upon to
act as umpire, the managers decie1 to
let Dorsey act in the double capacity
of referee and umpire For this game
today w. S. c. would take no chances.
While they did not mistrust the pop
ular Walla Walla official thew ex-
g.,
who lives out of town. Thus is it, for
the first time in 10 years, Dorsey will
watch the game from the bIeachers,
where he can give vert to his feelings
during the game
Whitman is in good shape for the
contest. Although Martin cannot plav.
Mig Borleske can and the way he
will hit ;he line will make Pullman sit
up and take notice. All the rest of the
fellows are ready and in tip top shape
for the contest. Last nights practice
was fast and furious and the bows
showed they have pleh.y of the ginger
which was so lacking at Moscow
Hoeins Some.
From Pullman comes the report that
Hardy will not be in the game. He has
a bad shoulder and Coach Bender saws
he cannot play. Just the same, the
Whitman boys expect him to be in the
lineup with all his old catapauIt form.
A report from the state college saws
that Cherry will not be allowed to go
in hA o1 on
that he has not made a sufficient rec
ord in his studies this year to be ELI
gible. A telephone report from there,
says, however, that Cherry was hoeirg
potatoes all yesterday forenoon and
that he was almost caught up in his
studies. BY this morning he will have
been eligible and the fact that he
came down this afternoon shows that
been some other hard luck stories sent
out but no one here who knows Coach
Johnny Bender's aptness iii this line
can be expected to pay much attention
to the bear tories.
Pullman Arrives.
With their coach, Johnny Bender and
the manager. the Pullman team and
substitutes arrived in the city today.
They will have a light signal practice
this afternoon. They are a husky look
ing bunch and will play hard game.
College Roots Some.
On the campus this afternoon, rally
meeting and roofing nractica woe hold
Nearly every student in the college was
out and many people from downtown
went up to lealn the yells and get en-
thused.
