TEAM

Vincent Borleske, 10. captain of the
Whitman varsity football team for the
coming season. arrived in the city this
morning from his home in Spokane.
With both Coach Blanchard and Capt.
Borleske on the ground, and with old
nearly every train, the football pros
poets at Whitman are beginning to
take definite shape. Manager Lloyd r.
Hawley also arrived this morning from
Spokane and has given out an an
nouncement concerning the fall sched-
ule. The schedule has been so ar
ranged that practically ten days will
elapse between eac intercollegiate

The intercollegiate season will open
with the University of Idaho at Mos
COW. Oregon Agricultural college will
then be met in this city and follow
ing that game Whitman will journey
to Seattle where the state university
will be met Following the IT, game,
Whitworth will come to Walla Walla
to try conclusions with the Mission
aries. The last regular game of the
season will be played on Thanksgiving
day when the team from the Wash
ington state college will be met on An

and the university of oregon go
through the season without defeat 1t
is very probable that a post season
game WILL lbe arranged for, to be
.Itayed sitttr in Walla Walla .or in
Portland. When seen by Statesman
representative this afternoon Captain
Borleske said:
There is little that can givf out IN
regard to the team at present In

The fact that Coach Blanchard re-

that we will be nothing lacking from
that end of the game.

plant were on the calendar, all of the
bills bearing the recommendations of
the claims committee against complet

fought with might and main against
following the committees wishes, their
contention being that the farmers of
Wisconsin wanted the plant finished
and that they were confident that they
could get their Irvine at lower price

success would be very doubtful. Among
those who spoke for the plant were

Long Debate on Eight Hour Act.

Long Debate on Eight Hour Act.
The chief debate in the Assembly the

Democrats bill. by Berner, which linn.
its hours of work to eight day on all
public works. The bill was up for en-.

passage by the committee on manufac

were made for and against the bill
The country members contended that
there should be no time limit; that a
man should be permitted to work as
long as he pleases. Mr.. Berner was
absent and therefore could not come
to the defense of his bill, but Frank ].
Weber fought for the measure. Il am
