Some time ago an act was passed
by the United States government

automobiling is his chief recrea-
ton. Indeed. he ascribes his re-
markable vitality and splendid
health to the restfulness and tonic
of this popular pastime, and has al
ways owned a Studebaker. After
the government experts had exam

they unanimously decided to pur-

and IDAHO vARS|T|ES BATTLE
HERE FOR GR|O|R0N HON0RS TOMORROW


Tomorrow afternoon Recreation
park win be the scene Of the one
big football game Of the season in
Spokane. the pigskin artists Of the
University of Washington pitting
their strength and skill against the
eleven from the University of
Idaho. Coach Dobie and his squad
OF 20 men arrived In town this
morning, while Grogan will bring
his Moscow huskies into town this
afternoon.
That the struggle between the
rival colleges will be a momentous
one goes beyond question. Spo-
kane has much at stake, for II the
football fans turn out in large num-
bers II means that this city will
witness a big game each year; 9TH
eriwe Spokane will be wiped off
the intercollegiate football map
and battle-ground selected that
will insure expense money.
In addition to the majority Of
Spokane fans, who will undoubted-
ly cheer for Washington, a delega-
ton of 20 rOOters will be In town
direct from the university, and
over 40 graduates as well as mem
bers Of the Minnesota club will be
on hand to cheer the Washington
huskies to victory. Idaho will be
represented by between 800 and
400 rooters, who will arrive in
town tonight.
Both Coach Dobie and Coach
Grogan figure that their teams will
win after a close, gruelling con-
test. The last few days have been
strenuous ones at both training
camps, and barring lineup absences
on account of injuries, Fullback
Baker of the Washington being one
OF the stalwarts who may not play
tomorrow, both elevens will realize
that they have been through a
great battle when the game is over.

the line. while Idaho's back field
is a few pounds to the good.
The probable lineup of the var
sity, as it has been prepared by
Coach Dobie, will be as follows:
Center. Tegtmeir, Beck; guards.

ter, Coyle; halves. Captain Muckle-

Spargsr, Baker. Cook, substitute
quarter, will also accompany the
team to replace Soyle in case the
star quarter is put out.
The officials will probably be as
follows:
Referee-George varnell, Chi

Umpire-Oliver Cults, Harvard,
or r. N. Hockenberry, Portland.
Field judge-Jimmy Irsfield,
