DOBIE TALKS
OF The GAME

Seattle, Wash. Nov. 2S.-Declaring
that his Pacific coast championship
team Of tEas University of Washington
could this year throw scare into
the gophers'' and that 1t could "de-
feat Chicago, Michigan, Northwestern
and Notre Dame" Gilmour Dobie,
former famous quarterback OF the
Minnesota football team and ex- assist
ant coach under Doc. williams, and
former coach of the A. c. at Fargo N.
d., today talked for the first time In
an optimistic mood since the present
football season opened
a think eastern and middle western
teams are greatly overestimated' said
he. and that the Pacific northwest can
turn out just as good gridiron squads
as can the shores OF New England or
the plains of the Mississippi valley,
and for that reason believe that the
football team that can win the west
ern conference championship can whip
two or three OF the Big Eight teams
and perhaps the winner.
Minnesota whipped Chicago, 80 to
q. but there Is no team that can do
that to mine. There is college that
can defeat Washington. 80 to 0.
THE football situation on the Pa
cific coast, and throughout the entire
country for that matter, has been pug
King fans, and for one simple reason,
they have been trying to size up the
winning team by the method used in
ancient times, when beefsteak was the
whole thing and the team with the
most victories behind 1t would win
anyway.
Football has become SO much like
baseball IN many respects that COM
parative scores b, now meaningless.
II Is the freak OF luck that counts In
football. same ais In baseball
