From all indications, about 25O peo-
pie will take advantage of the oppor-

see the game. From the college, 10
students are going and there will be
as many more towLspeople see the

play stopped. and running 55 yards.
The practice this week made the
men see that they must play ball and
that weight alone is not. going to win
any game tomorrow. knowing this,
the Whitman team has developed a
number of tricks and will use them
freely, if necessary. In playing the first
team, the second team has had the ad-
vantage of knowing every signal and
being able to prepare for the play,
while their signals were unknown to
the first team. II. this way the Little
Idahoes' had much the advantage.
All realize. however. that the game
is to be no WalkOver and if Whitman
wins she will have to DO it from su-
Eerior playing and not from superior
weight.

In order that those who cannot at
tend the game at Moscow may be able
to follow the progress of the game, the
