VS.. c. FOOTBALL
sA,OF HIGH ORDER
With Majority of Last Years Team
Returning and Many New Men OF
Experience Coming, Foot
ball Prospects Look Rosy

Manager John Jones of the State
College football team is very opti-
mlstic in regard to the prospects for
a winning football team at the college
this year. Many men of more or less
football experience In the high
schools of the state have signified
their intention of enrolling at the
Pullman institution, and Manager
Jones has his eye in particular on a
couple of good men from eastern
Oregon, two from the Kettle River
valley and several from Seattle, who
have decided to enter the State Col
lege. All of these men have had con-
siderable experience with the pig
skin and will make some of last
years first team men hustle to hold
their positions At least thirty men
will enroll as freshmen who have
had football experience In the high
schools.
Among last years first team men
IIarters (Joe and George). Laird,
Fishback, Knight, Holmes, Gaddis,
Hentzleman, Coulter, Ed. Kienholtz,
and possibly one or two others. Be-
sides these men, who have made the
first team from one to three years,
several members of last years second
team Will be on hand to assist the
State College in winning the football
championship of the Northwest.
The football schedule as arranged
by Manager Jones is as follows:
October 7--Gonzaga, at Pullman.
October 14--University of Mon
tana, at Missoula.
October 21--U. of |. at Moscow.
October 2S-U. of O., at Pullman.
November So. A. c., at Corval-
lis.
November 18-Whitman, at Pull
man.
November 3O--U. of w, at Seat
tie.
Besides the above games. Pullman
football enthusiasts will have an OPP
portunity of witnessing, for the first
time in this city, a game of Rugby
football, which will be played Nov
EN- Der Ia, with Moscow. The game
will be played in this city and will
undoubtedly attract large crowd.
There is a possibility that the
game scheduled for November IS,
with Whitman College, will be trans
ferred to Spokane, graduates of both
colleges living in that city having re-
cuested the managers to make the
change Manager Jones states that
the matter will be left up to the stu
dent body and the citizens of Pull
man. II they want the game played
IN Pullman 1t will undoubtedly be
played here, although from tinan-
cial standpoint Spokane would be
more satisfactory.

Big Meeting at Club

A crowd OF 100 or more of the citt-
zeus attended perhaps the most en-
thusiastic meeting ever held at the
Commercial club rooms Wednesday
night.
One of the main propositions con-
sidered was that OF the citizens get
ting together on the Normal school
question. John E. Greene, who is
thoroly conyersanl on the subject
stated that unless the fight which is
still on over the site is settled before
the case goes to the Supreme court,
there is grave danger that the leg
islature at its next session will re-
peal the appropriation bill. which
would mean that the buildings coulo
not be constructed for a period Of
years. He suggested that a commit
tee be appointed, consisting Of i've
men, to see what it could do to rem
sdy the difficulty.
Arthur LeSueur talked on electric
light rates in tuis CITY. He declares
that 1S cents per K. is too high and
takes the figures of the experts whG
visited Minot last summer to base his
assertion on. He thot the CONNER
dal club ought to get the Commls
sion to regulate the rates.accordl1S

vestigation could be made to deter
nine whether electricity could be
manufactured cheaper at profit.
E., A. Stevens, manager Of the
Consumers Power Co. declared that
he was willing for an investigation
ut any time, in fact he understood
that the Commission was already in
vestigating.

land show In Chicago. told Of the
great lot of advertising that North
Dakota received from the magnificent
display of products. 'i'<
o. M. Champlin talked about the
big Grain and Dairymen's convention
to be held In Minot in January, date
to be selected soon. This is to be a
permanent affair and will probably
follow Immediately after the big Far
90 convention so we can secure prac.
tically the same speakers. The Com
mercial club promised to furnish
money with which to pay the speak
ers, or at any rate give it's endorse
ment to a subscription for that pur-
pose.
One Of the important things done
was amending the constitution o! the
