was largely an affair of see-saw. The
local eleven were several times fairly
within scoring distance of Whitman s
line. but each time were penalized.
Whitman played fiercly and aggres-
sively to the last, and never for a mo-
ment lost heart. The last half ended
in the Whitman territory, after WIS.
c. had twice got within ten yards of
the final chalk line, and each time
either been held or penailzed.
In the first trhee minutes of play,
Johnnie Foran received an injury in
Rthe shoulder which necessitated that
Me be taken from the game. He was
replaced by Holt Boone, and the latter
although too young in years and ex-
perience in the national intercollegiate
game to receive the full sweep of bat
tie with the old timers, he displayed
remarkably good judgment in handling
the men. He surprised both his team
mates and opponents, and quite likely
himself, playing throughout the game
with scarcely an error of judgment.
Following the game was the Nordi-

enjoyable events of the college year.
Madame Nordica was accompanied by
troupe of the highest class, and the
audience was pleased with every num-
ber. Madame Nordica herself was
greeted with encores for every num-
Der, and indie ed it seemed that her de-
lighted hearers imposed on her in this
respect, a fact which she took quite
good naturedly. When she sung the
"Swanee River" and several other old
home" melodies, the enthusiasm of
the audience became almost riotous.
The day closed as memorable one
in the history of W.S.C. affairs.
So far as is known now, the football
season at W.S.C. is ended. The
team has made a remarkably good
showing this year, considering the fact
that Coach Rheinschild began his work
with crew of inexperienced men,
most of them practically unknown
quantities. Rhiney deserves great
credit. His policy throughout the sea-
son has been to play on the safe side,
and has succeeded so we'll. that the
Crimson and Gray goal line has reached
by only two placement kicks, and one
safety. At no time in the season has
the final chalk line ever been in dang
er, except from placement points,
which may be expected whenever the
one team comes within forty yards of
their opponents line.

Public School Notes of Interest

The football team will not go under
the name of the high school.
Raymond Flock was out of school
Monday and Tuesday.
In the programs of the two clubs
any muisc to be given must be first
approved by Miss Watson, the liter
ary work by Miss Kohne, and the
papers by Mrs. Alden.
School work to be placed on exhibi-
tion at the Alaska Yukon-Paciic ex-
position next year is being done.
Work of the same kind was done for
the Lewis and Clarke exposition at
Portland in 1905.
A football team composed of high
school boys went to Moscow Saturday
of last week and played the high
school team of that place. Neither
made a score the first half, but in the
second half the Pullman boys resorted
to straight football and made IS
points to Moscow none.
The boys and girls at school have
not been able to agree on the question
of what to do with the money in the
treasury. The girls wanted it for
the basketball and the boys for foot
ball, and as a result the football team
broke up and there will probably be
no basket ball If there is it will
only be girls team as the boys say
they will not play.
Wednesday the Douglas Debating
Club held its meeting. The following
program was rendered:
First chapter of a continued story,
Joy Barnes.
Vocal solo, Pearl Cornelius.
Defamation, Daniel Coweling.
Paper, Read Young and George
Cannon.
Defamation. Leila Moore.
Esasy. Ralph Weeks.
Debate, Resolved, That the
elimination of private profits offers
the best solution of the liquor
traffic. This debate was between
the debaters of the two clubs, the
Lincoln club had the affirmative and
the Douglas club, the negative. The
affirmative won by a vote of three to
nothing. The judges were Mrs. Jenne,
Miss Kohne and Mrs. Alden. The
team to represent the High School
was chosen from these two teams.
They are Esther Bull, Ella Henneck
and Paul Fordyce. The judges that
chose the team were, Mr.. Ellis, Rev.
Schooling and Mr.. Conger. The team
that represented the Lincoln club was
Esther Bull, Ruby Nye. and Paul
Fordyce. The debate was hot one
and all of the pupils enjoyed it. Both
teams depended largely upon statistics
for their arguments. The winning
team proved that the Gothenburg sys-
TEN of managing the saloons was
best. They showed that the country
was not ready for Prohibition yet and
this system should be used until the
country was ready. Both sides did
fine debating. The rebuttals were
made by Ella Henneck of the Douglas
club, and Paul Fordyce of the Lincoln
club.
