be played at full even for a starter.
according to the statement made by
the coach last night. "Fishback is
in mighty poor condition. said
Osty, land unless he feels better
Friday, 1t will be impossible to play
him back of the line Fishback
plays so hard and tears into the fight
so fast, that in his injured condition.
with a poor ankle, it will not be adj
vlsable to play him back to the line
unless he improves. He will play
himself out in a short time if given
the opportunity"
Eddie Kienholz, half back, has had
a poor shoulder ever since the Con
zaga game, and the coach is wor-
ried about Eddie's ability to see the
hard game through. Worse off than
Eddie, however, is Shorty" Harter,
the long center. Harter has not been
in suit for three nights, his sore
shoulder preventing him from taking
| the nlgntly workout
Other than these three men, the
team is in good shape. Osthoff said
last night that he had made no en-
deavor to put the men in top-notch
shape, as he wished to guard very
carefully against entertaining the
men and getting them into mid
season shape at the very outset.
The coach believes that with so many
games coming up, the boys will do
better to take it easy and work up
to real form gradually than to give
them overtime at the start.
Idaho has little to fear from the
State College in the Interpretation of
Idaho's plays. Idaho as yet has not
made public her best bets. On the
other hand, the state college, in the
Gonzaga game. opened up a whole
lot, and Pink Griffiths had two men
over here TO watch and watch closely
every turn of the football compass.
This has given Idaho two whole
weeks in which to perfect a defense
for W. S. c. s formations. That is
where one big rub in the coming
contest is making itself felt
Again, Idaho has had two practice
games, and the state college has had
but one Early season practice
games count heavily on a team s
chances in its first conference con-
test There's another rub
1t is true that we have a heavier
| line than has Idaho, but with every
likelihood that Tom Fishback will
not be behind the line. we have a
weaker back field than Idaho Idaho
! has us eXcelled on kicker, this big
fellow Kinneson, who is pulled back
from center to do the booting being
good for 40 or 3 yards at most any
stage of the game Lovers of the
game will undoubtedly see more foxy
plays used by Idaho than they have
ever before used in any one game
That is their salvation with a fast
back field, headed by Hilman, the
big fullback.
If Idaho's usual luck in the early
part of the game is forestalled, the
State College has more than an even
chance of winning. This Idaho luck
is what we must guard against If
we expect to win the game. Idaho
has always grabbed a tumble, got
away with a fluke or sprung some
thing entirely unlocked for when
they have won the games that they
were not doped to win. Thornton
last year, in accidentally picking up
that tumble on a beautiful bounce,
when he had full speed ahead, with
no one in his path, netted Idaho the
winning score This is good ex-
ample of the Idaho luck. We simply
have to watch this early burst of
speed on Idaho's part if the game
is to come home to Pullman.
With an elegant day in sight, the
largest crowd that ever witnessed a
football game in the Palouse country
is expected to turn out to see this
big hard-fought contest The trains
leave about 1890 and return after
, the game. Game called at 2:3o
sharp.
