mAHo-w. S. c. GAME OCT ri
Date for Annual Football Game VIII
Probably BE Changed to Fri
day, October ri.

If the plans of Manager Jones of
the w. S. c. football team materialize
the annual game with the University
of Idaho will be played one day ear
lier than at first scheduled, the pro-
posed change in the date being for the
benefit of the business men of both
towns, whose busiest day is Satur-
day, the day on which the game was
scheduled to take place. The an
uual game between these two institu-
tons is looked forward to with much
interest by both students and towns
people, and as the game is to be play
ed in Pullman this year it is to the
interest of the local management to
have the game played on day when
everybody can attend. If the date is
changed to Friday, October 81, the
local business men announce that
they will close their places of bust
ness and attend the contest.
The Idaho team this year is an I'M
known factor, but they can be relied
upon to give the w S. c. bunch the
game of their lives, and more than
usual interest is attached to the con-
test as it will be the first game to be
played under the new rules by college
teams in this section.
The football situation at the State
College is described by the Evergreen
as follows
From $3.50 to 5:45 every day there
is a squad of about 90 men working
out for a place on the Varsity foot
ball team. A great number are out
for their first time at w. S. c., but
are showing up as particularly adapt
ed to the new style of game
Coach Osthoff shows his ability as
coach in the way he handles his men
and in the way the men work for
him. He says:
There is no first or second team
until ten minutes before the game,
when II men will be picked to start
the game. Now, you old fellows will
have to work. Get in and show me
that you deserve a place with the
first II men or you won't be put
there; and Jumbo, you haven't a
place cinched on the team simply be-
cause you are captain"
With this spirit between coach and
men we are going to have a team
that w. S. c. will be proud to claim,
and one that the whole northwest
will call champions"
Old Men Back
OF the "W" men from last years
squad there are Capt. Jumbo Hun
ter, trying for his old position of left
tackle; Dyke" Galbraith, the end,
who we'll deserved a place on the ALL
Northwest last year; Jack Foran, out
for quarter; Paddy" Buck, the fam
Gus Speed Merchant. out for half;
"Tub" Laird, last years center, try
ing out for a tackle position this
year.
Some of last years men who did
not make emblems are Keinholtz,
Sweitzer and Coulter, trying out for
half back positions. Keinholtz show
ed ability at every opportunity to
advance the ball last year, and to do
! his work on defence. SWeitZer showed
his varsity material two years ago
! in the Freshman-SonhomO game.
! Coulter is the stocky youth from
hard for his place at half last year.
Knight is showing up we'll at full
back this year, especially so on hand
! ling the ball on passes. Ageton is
trying out for quarter this year and
Jack will have to work hard to
hold his position. Joe Harter, the
pride of Colfax," is saying nothing,
but is working for the position of
left guard Ace Clark is out for cen
ter. He has speed and weight and
experience and should be one of the
| chosen eleven to start the game.
! Donahue, of Rosalia, is showing up
we'll for a line position. Jack Nelson
Is out for end. and great things are
expected of him Whenever Nelson
gets the ball in a broken field we
can expect a touchdown for w. S. c..
as ne is undoubtedly the fastest man
in America today COOL and Quigley
are out and "Chub" Hanlon and Pat
Crane are expected soon. Booze
Anderson of Spokane for half and
Wolfe for guard or tackle are doing
good work Geo. Harter, the six-foot
200-pounder from Wenatchee, is al
ready passing the ball like a veteran.
