Darkness now began to hide the
players and. it was with difficulty they
were followed. Washington carried the
ball SO yards by five line bucks and
G1imm's sure boot made another four
points for the University. This was the
last score of the game and 1t was so
dark by this time that 1t was impos-

Play in the Dark.
But in the darkness, Whitman had

possession on Washington's Is yard
line. Captain Bagshaw of the Wash
ington team wanted the game called
Just after Washington made her last
score, Whitman was willing, but Coach
Place held to the last forlorn hope and
played the game to the END.
Was Good Game.
Taken through and through, it was
one of the best games which has been
played here in years. Neither side was
able to cross the others goal line al
though Whitman was within three feet
of it at one time. The signal for Rigs
by through was called and the big fell
low went through, but dropped the ball.
II was clearly Whitman's game and at
no time was she seriously in danger OF
defeat. She carried the ball some four
times farther than did the visitors and
played them off their feet. Washington
took out time repeatedly during the

+ In the new game, the open playing
made possible by the new rules, Whit
man had much the best OF the visitors.
But twice did the Washington team
/ try the forward pass, while Whitman
made nearly $50 yards by this means.
Washington relied on her heavy line
to make Her gains ard was successful
but two times in the game at making
any consistent yardage.
Good Crowd Attended.
! The crowd was good one. And 1t
was enthusiastic, 1000 witnessing the
battle and Manager Schmidt came out
: of the game with a smiling face. The
roofing was the best ever. Not only
college students but downtown meL. and
women. as we'll. rooted themselves
, hoarse encouraging the husky MlSslcn-
arv bunch to do stunts and save them
selves in the championship race. And
| to this roofing and the support OF the
townspeople is due in a great measure
the victory of yesterday.
