What do ye tink O. dat?" Don't
that look like championship? At
first glance it might appear that Pu-
get Sound has weak team, but COM
pairing the score of the game played
here Wednesday on a muddy field
and in a cold rain, with the scores
made by other teams against Puget
Sound University, shows that w. S
c. has strong team, and is aim ost
certain to win the northwest cham
pionship again this year. Incidently
it shows that University of Idaho is
due for hard drubbing this year,
and that is worth more to Pullman
lite than the winning of all other
games.
This was the first game played by
Washington State College this year.
The team has had little practice and
it was an unknown quantity" but
the showing made the first day is
enough to satisfy all that Coach
keinholz understands putting a team
into prime condition on short notice
and that he has splendid material
from which to build a team. The
weather and the field could not well
have been worse The game was to
have been played Tuesday, but one
of the hardest rains ever known here
at this time of the year fell in the
!, afternoon and the game was post
: poned until Wednesday, when condi-
tons were little better. The field
was soft and muddy and the last half
of the game was played in a cold
rain, yet our boys played a steady
and oftentimes brilliant game, clear
ly outclassing the visitors who are
= stronger than the score would indi-
cate.
Puget Sound University played
Idaho at Moscow last Friday The
weather and the field We're ideal, yet
the score of that game stood 20 to
in favor of Idaho. For 5 minutes
the Puget Sound team held Idaho
without a score. w. S. G. made a
touchdown every 3 12 minutes of the
game played here Wednesday, Our
team is in better condition and is
playing a stronger game today than
it did at Idaho, last Friday said
DR.. Richardson, coach of the Puget
Sound team, who declared that w.
S. G.. has a much stronger and better
balanced team than Idaho. Il UNI
pired the game at Moscow last Fri
day and am in a good position to
judge of the relative merits and the
work of the two teams and will say
that w. S. C. has much stronger
team than Idaho" said Professor
Calhoun, of Spokane, graduate of
Chicago University, who refereed the
game here Wednesday. Continuing.
he said wv. S. c. has played a
better, stronger and faster game in
the mud and rain than Idaho played
on a good field with ideal weather
When one examines the scores that
Puget Sound has made in playing
with other teams it gives a good
idea of the relative strength of w.
s. c. and other schools of the north
west. Whitworth College defeated
Puget Sound by score of sc to O..
Whitworth has one of the strong
teams of the northwest, the person
mel being practically the same as last
year, when it defeated Whitman and
the University of Oregon and tied
University of Washington. Puget
Sound made a touchdown and a goal
against Whitman while the latter
only made SO against Puget Sound,
which is less than half what w. 5. Z.
, made on a muddy field and the Visl-
tors never got near w. S. C.'s goal
: line.
