w. s. c. had As men out the other
evening the two coaches working
them hard. Coach Kienholz worked
the first squad for all it was worth,
getting into the game with them
himself. In the game with Puget
Sound university, some of the new
men from Spokane especially dis
tinguished themselves. De Witt,
Engelhorn, Kienholz and Galbraith
all making fine records. De Witt
and Engelhorn will no doubt make
the first team; Galbraith has al
ready played on 1t. Coach KEN
holz is fortunate in having such a
splendid lot of material to choose
from. and it is pity that the sea-
sons schedule has so few big games
in it. big Deaner," right tackle,
weighs $50 pounds, and is fine
player. Miner, Buck, Fishback and
White all showed fine form in the
Puget Sound game. De Witt made
two touch-downs, and Engelhorn
kicked three goals. Several of the
big eastern colleges tried hard for
these men this year. They will ma
terially strengthen the w. S. C.
team. Coach Kienholz seems to be
the right man in the right place,
for he has the respect and regard
of all his men, which is half the
battle. Puget Sound university
played three big games recently:
p. S. U. 6, Whitworth 26; P. s. U.
6, Y, of / 20, P. s. U. Q-W. S. G. "A.
This shows up we'll for the W. s.
c. played this game in a muddy,
heavy field, and they look to me
like winning team. The schedule
is as follows:
W. S. 9. vs. Idaho. at Moscow,
November 5; w. S. c. VS.. Whit
worth, Pullman, November Is; w.
S. c. VS.. Whitman, at Walla Walla,
November %: w. S. c. VS.. Denver
university, at Spokane, December 4.
Whitman College.
1t in loss of four of her best men,
and it is reported that Captain Bor
leske is hurt, but as Coach Blanch
ard is practicing secretly with three
squads, it may be that this is only
q scheme to keep from the public
the knowledge of Whitman's real
strength. ! am disposed, therefore,
to give Whitman the second place
on account of the large number of
players on the staff. The Idaho
will distinctly compete with her for
second place. Her best men this
year seem to be Borleske, left half
and captain; Matthews, left guard,
and Belt, fullback.
Whitman has a game with Idaho
at Moscow today. This will tell
the story of who will be entitled to
second place. She plays w. S. c..
at Walla Walla on November 25,
Thanksgiving Day, when she will
meet her Waterloo
University of Idaho.
Idaho has a fine coach, Grogan,
and lot of players who fight to
the last ditch. They have surprised
their opponents more than once in
the past by their showing in the big
games. They beat w. S. c. last
year, though money went begging
to l in favor of w. S. c. They
have about 80 players to select
from, and may take second place
yet. Herk Smith. their manager,
is an aggressive hustler, who can
make things go if any one can.
Three of their principal players are
Captain Stokesbury, right guard;
Thornton, left half, and Jewill, CEN
ter. If Jewell were changed to left
guard, he and Stokesbury would be
invincible in their positions. Idaho
plays Whitman, u. of w. and w. S.
c. this season the latter being, in
the opinion of many, their principal
and hardest game. The game with
w. S. c. will be fought out at Mos
COW, Friday. April 5. in order to
accommodate the merchants at
Pullman and Moscow, who will
close their stores at that time. The
Inland Empire railway will run a
special excursion on that day from
Spokane for the benefit of the
many tlumni and their friends who
have expressed desire to see the
game and the Palouse country at
