FROM WHITMAN
MIDDLETON'S CRACKS TOO FAST
FOR SONS OF MISSIONARIES
SCORE OF II TO 0 IN FAVOR OF
IDAHO.

MOSCOW, Iharo, Nov. 17.-The
day that dawned with such dull pros
poets for the great Whitman-lhado
football game has closed most happi-
ly for Idaho Knowing the record or
the Whitman team the Idaho men an
ticipated a hard game and close
score. But the game has been played
and uncertainties have passed away.
And the Varsity boys are celebrat-
! ing a victory with a score of ITO,
Whitman sent her team on early, .
with the best veteran players. After
/ the recent victory over Washington
university she was confident of win
mig from Idaho. But all universities
don't look alike to the Walla Walla
college tonight And Idaho is the
different one.
President Penrose and Professors
Hendricks and Anderson of Whitman
met the team here and in the early
afternoon the speciau train arrived
with $50 Washington hackers. Pull
man sent 200 spectators over, who
had a more or less certain eXpecta-
ton of seeing Whitman accomplish
what the w. S. G failed in last
week; that is, the defeat of Idaho
The bad weather had it's effect on the
attendance, however, and the bleach
ers held perhaps 1900, a thousand
less than witnessed the w. S. C.-Idaho
game.
From the spectators viewpoint to-
4 days game was scarcely equal to the
former one; indeed, one could not
hope to see the keen, desperate play
ing and fancy individual plays of
that game often repeated.
When Whitman found she was not
scoring she settled down to mass
plays where the, superior weight of
her team would be in her favor. This
was particularly noticeable as the
second half of the game opened.
Instead of the open, snappy, new
style play we witnessed steady
series. of line bucking and heavy
mass plays-7the game of four or five
Z years ago, But even here the light
steel line of Idaho men held taut
and in turn used this same style eff
. fectively in gaining ground.
