Much Whitman Spirit.
There are II places now open on
cur team, and there will be II places
open until the Thanksgiving game Is
played We are going t. get the best
team We can and no favOritism will
be shown to anyone. Oregon's captain
says he is going to play end. Your
captain says ne is going to try for
right tackle. That is the difference
in the spirit of Whitman's men and
those of most schools. Every man rs
willing to sacrifice his place if the
good of the team demands it. our
out look is good and We hope to have
the winning team of the northwest.
At any rate, there is going to be
some mighty hard playing done on
Ankeny Field this year and Whitmans
team is going to do it.

rousing college yells.
