Close Race Among the Big

Opportunity.

It begins to look as though 1t will
require a Philadelphia lawyer and
3feral assistant civil engineers to
figure out the high school football
situation in this state. The boosted
Big Four" are having their trou-
bies. Last Saturday Lincoln high of
Seattle was defeated by Tacoma. The
Lincoln team has always been the
most formidable contender in the
state for the championship honc~s,
and yet Tacoma is not in the cham
pionship running, for that school was
defeated two weeks ago by the Aber-
deem team. In the near future Lin
coin will meet Aberdeen and it is
freely predicted will defeat the Down
Saunders. In that case the effect of
the games between these three teams
will be TO destroy championship pos
sibilities for any one Of them.
Spokane Has Hopes.
Next Saturday Broadway of Seat
tie will meet Spokane high at Nata-
torium park in the Falls City. The
Spokesman is tccting this
game as the one which will decide
the championship of the state for
1910. The sporting editor. J. New
ton Colyer. figures that Wenatcheo
is threatening but denies that il
should be accorded championship
honors even if it should defeat all
rivals. His reason for taking this
position is that it does not belong TO
the Big Four" That no team
should be conceded the championship
which enters that class this year for
the first time. Such talk is indica-
tive of fear existing in Spokane OF
the high school team from the red
apple city. The local team and
coach are confident of victory over
Spokane. If Spokane defeats the Sc
attic eleven it will insure champion
ship for the state of Washington tc
Up 10 this time, Manager Collier
has been unable to schedule a game
with any team in Seattle. If Broad
way should be defeated next Satur-
day and Wenatchee should defeat
Spokane, it will put the local man
agement in position to dictate terms
to the Seattle bunch who are now
treating Wenatchee with more or
less Indifference. Their only hope
of cham pio2slip after November II
will be to defeat the team from this
city.

weight, and the average of
the team runs over 100 pounds. The

and fullback, $50 pounds: F. Ross,

Spokane College Next Saturday.
Late today a game was arranged
or next Saturday with Spokane col
eye. An attempt had been made to
;acure a game with Gonzaga, but on
account of trouble with the faculty,
he game could not be arranged, and
n consequence the local team de-
,ided to take on Spokane college. 1t
S expected that the game with Con-
.aga can be had one week from Sat
Hday.
The Spokane team is heavy and
las met several strong teams this
rear. One game was played with
Occur d'Alene in which the score was
Ii to 0 in favor Of Occur d'Alene,
,ut the team has been greatly
strengthened since its initial appear
lnce and a good game is expected
