WH|TNlRTH WILL
PLAY FAST BAL
COLLEGE TEAM ARRIVED THIS
MORNI.G FROM TACOMA
WITH is MEN.

Fifteen husky representatives OF
Whitworth college arrived in the city
this morning from Tacoma accom-
panied by their coach, Arthur Rueder.
ready for the game with Whitman to-
morrow afternoon at o'clock.
1t has always been the opinion among
the various colleges that ~Whitworth
was not a factor in the football circle
Of the northwest, but she has clearly
shown this year that such is lot at
all the case. The much touted team of
the University of Washington was
able to do no better than 6 to o against
them and spectators all say the game
was Whitworth's from start to finish.
Washington scoring on a fiuke. At
%. A. c. last Saturday. it was about
the same story. Whitworth had the
ball nearly all the time the first half,
playing in such dangerous territory
that o. A. c. punted regularly on
first downs. Her score was made by
lucky interception of a forward pass
which was carried through a clear
field for 40 yards for a touchdown.
With such a reputation for playing
behind them, the Tacomans come to
Walla Walla with the intention of wip=
ing up the Missionary team for the
first time in football history.
Are Speedy.
Il don't know what we will do to-
morrow" said Captain Grosscup this
morning. whitman outweighs us
about Is pounds to the man and it is
a cinch we can't expect to do much
through their line. When it comes to
speed, though, we will be there with
the goods. l believe We can show them
things about speed. We will have to re-
ly on this for our gains and if Whit
man plays an open game we will stand
good show Of victory. Our kicker
has a bad foot, otherwise we are in
first class shape and will give a good
account of ourselves tomorrow. If
there is any show, and if hard work
and fast playing can do it, we are go
ing to win from the college here to-
morrow"
Our men are light" said Coach
Rueder of the Whitworth team, But
think they will give a good account of
themselves tomorrow. Colbert's foot
will not keep him out of the game and
it is not his kicking foot which is hurt
anyway We played Washington and
n &l,x ;,,I
Gated and We hope to do even better
against the team here
Whitman Crippled.
Whitman will not have as strong a
line up tomorrow, as she did a week
ago against the Multonomah club.
Baird cannot, of course, play center,
and Clemens will take that position.
He has been showing up well and can
be depended upon to play steady,
consistent game. Harvey and Mathews
will play guards and are rocks in
their positions. Dimmick and Philbrook
play the tackles and Spagle and Ly-
man will play ends. Brubaker will run
the team at quarter and Rigsby will
Borleske is sick, his brother, Stanley,
Martin and Belt will play. Just which
of these will start the game is not
known, although there is little doubt
but that Martin, who did such great
work in the other games this fall, will
play his old position.
The contest tomorrow promises to
be an exhibition of the game as it was
intended by the makers of the new
rules. Whitworth must depend on
speed and fancy plays to win against
the heavy Missionary aggregation.
Whitman also will probably try out
some new plays in the game tomorrow.
Further than that the game will be
called at 8 o'clock and that Dorsey
Hill will referee, no definite arrange
ments have been made as to the Off
Gals. time of halves, etc.
