The football team of the Washing
ton State college belongs in third place
among the teams of the northwest,
and quite a distance below Oregon at
that" is the way Gilmour Dobie, coach
at the University of Washington
classes the Washington Farmers after
watching that team play against the
University of Denver team at Spo-
kane a week ago.
The tall coach made a special trip
to Spokane to see the Pullman team in
action, because east of the mountains
the belief is quite general that Pull
man has fully as good a team as the
University of Washington, which won
the championship of the northwest
conference again this year.
The Pullman team had a light
schedule this year and the boys were
prepped especially for the game with
Denver for that was the big game of
the year for them. Pullman was beaten
by a score of II to 0 by a team that
does not rank with either Washington
or Oregon, in the opinion of Dobie.

SENIORS WIN
SECOND GAME

Winning over the Sophomores in the
second game of the interclass series,
the seniors yesterday played rings
around them, the score standing 80 to
II at the close of the contest. Over
nasium and the roofing for the re-
spective aggregations was at all times
fast and furious.
Before the game those who had
watched both teams work out IN
practice looked for a low close score.
seniors played exceptionally good ball,
far out doing anything they had ever
attempted in practice With Barnes,
last year captain and center of the
varsity team holding down the same
position with the seniors, with Shubert
and Hawley, forwards to shoot goals
and with Bassett and Neterer both
men of varsity calibre as guards, the
upperclassmen had an experienced
bunch Of players which the sopho-
mores could do little with. Hawley
simply out did himself in shooting
goals. He seemed to drop them into
the basket from all distances and from
all angles with all the abandon of a
school kid playing marbles. HaWley
got eight baskets, six of which he OBJ
tanned in the second half. Barnes
