FIELD GOAL WINS VICTORY

By the score of II to s, Whitman
yesterday defeated the team repre-
senting Washington State university
But the score does not tell the tale of
the drubbing the boys from Seattle
really got. Time after time they were
forced down the field and twice were
the Missionaries almost over the goal
line
Had it not been an off day for Whit
mans kickerS, the score would have
been twice as large. Brubaker missed
two drop kicks for goal and Borleske
had like bad luck. Washington was
never near the Missionary line but once
and then it was not dangerous. They
kicked as soon as they got the ball,
punted when they We're too far away to
try for goal, place kicked when they
had the opportunity and kicked on de-
kick about
Boreske Day.
Yesterday was Borleske day. Big"
Borleske could not plasqlh attended
the game il. cab. But krtle" Bor-
leske played and made ftss'Borleske
Day" despite the fact his br0(p9f4~as
on the side lines. 1t was BorlesH E.ho
made the drop kick for goal tying e,
score in the first half And it was
Borleske who made fair catches twice
which gave Brubaker the opportunity
to win the game with beautiful place
kicks and it was Borleske too, who
tore off yardage time after time, ran
great Interference. bucked the line like
an engine, ran back punts like fiend
nj played throughout the game III a
manner which certainly brought credit
to his name
Brubaker and SpagIe.
But BOrleske was not the whole
game There We're 10 other men in the
game and in the game all the time
For instance. Doc" Brubaker was
there and played a great game. His
came to drop kicking yesterday but he
made two wonderful place kicks from
the 40 and So yard lines. His general
ship was great and mis- handling Of for
ward passes was the best which mas
ever been seen here.
Another man who played yesterday
and reminded the crowd of the way
it says in the rules to play the game,
was "Spagle. Curly was right there
every minute. He tore off gains around
the ends. he caught forward passes and
he ran in difference like the star player
he really is.
Back Did Good Work.
Martin also played. His runs were
the feature of the game and after
darkness fell the nervy little half made
a play which the spectators missed He
got clear of the field and was well on
his way for touchdown with a clear
field, when a Whitman man tackled
him, mistaking him in the darkness for
an opponent.
Rigsby played a great game and
bucked the line we'll His interference
was effective and he made good gains
several times. Lyman played a great
game, both at end and defensive quar-
ter. Never man went by him. When a
Washington man bucked the line he
found Jack" waiting for him, and
he was nailed surely.
Line Held Well.
In the line the boys played like fiends.
Dimmick, the big captain, may be said
to have won the game by his general
ship. 1t was when Brubaker had missed
leske in to boot and the little fellow
made the goal which tied the score and
helped to win the game Besides this.
Dim was in the game from first to
last, breaking through his man and
playing like a demon. Philbrook was
handicapped by a pet knee but played
q great game nevertheless, and opened
holes for Dimmick several times. Mat
thews played his usual steady and
consistent game and few gains were
made through him. The same can be
said of Harvey who not only played a
good line game but made some pretty
tackles as well. Clemens was up
against a hard man at center. but he
wadej through him often and played
circles around him most of the time
For Washington, Bragdon. Grimm.
Matthews. Reser and Clark played the
game. University had an almost i'm
pregnable line and few gains were
made by the local team through
bucks
