in one of the hardest fought and most
spectacular games of football ever
seen on the Whitman field. before AN
audience of 1000 people. The teams
were evenly matched, both in excel
lent condition. and fought stubbornly
from start to finish for the supremacy.
The game was marked by many
brilliant plays on both sides and spec
tacular for the large crowd which had
gathered to witness the contest. The
bleachers on one side were packed with
Whitman students and supporters, a
mass of waving maize and blue On
the other, less in numbers, but not
less enthusiastic were the excursion
lists from Pullman and their friends,
gaily waving their banners of crimson
and gray. which in the end were to
prove triumphant over the maize and
blue of the Missionaries. The best
of spirit was shown throughout by the
two parties. each giving the others
yells with vim and energy and the two
bands joined between halves to fur
nish music for the crowd. The dav
was an ideal one for the game. with
the exception of a slight wind that
was blowing, and interfered somewhat
with the punts.
For Whitman. Borleske was easily
the star OF the occasion. Brubaker
also played an excellent game at quar-
ter. fully up to his usual standard,
and his drop kick from the as yaro
line. making Whitman's second score,
was one of the most spectacular fea-
lures of the game.
For W.S.C.. Cave. Nissen and Rad
er were probab the most noticeable
stars. Caves IS yard run in the first
half for a touchdown was remarkable
and sent the Pullman rooters wild with
JOY. jerry Nilsson. who was chos-
en- captain of the all-northwest team
for the season, demonstrated his abl-
ity as a player and his right to be
considered one of Putnam best.
In the punting department Hahn had
4 trife the better of the argument
and pnnted II times 900 yards. an
average of 35a W as, while the best
Brubaker could av rage in 70 punts was
