of second place for the time being, he
seems fated to get into the limelight and
to win those wagers which Grit has made
with the Athletic players.
Il do not mind the money! said Grit,
'but l want to show that bunch in Phila-
delphia that the Washingtons are a live
ball team. They said We weren't when
We played them over in Philadelphia, but
notice that we have been fighting it
right down to the end of the season with
them. and all those wise prophesies by
Eddie Collins that we would drop back
into the second division, where we be-
longed, have not counted for much yet.
Every week Collins was telling people
that the Athletics would be sure to win
the championship, and that the Washing
ton team was a good second division
club. If l We're that chap 1 would let
the newspaper men write base ball and
devote a little of my ime to playing the
game. and not waste so much time tell
ing what the other teams are going to
do"
Groom got bad start in the fourth
with no one out, and both there by err
rors, but he pulled up and began to pitch
ball that no one could hit. and dropped
the Highlanders down without run.
One run which they did get was earned
because Stump made single, Smith a
fly.
The other. in the ninth, was gift COM
posed of a base on balls, a wild pitch. a
stolen base and an out at first. The lat
ter part of the game was played under
most peculiar conditions. Overhead blue
sky could be seen. yet the field was en-
ve!Oped in some kind of a bank of mist
which made it as dark as winter
twilight. Some of the few spectators
got up and left and the WashinStonians
packed up their bats at the end of the
sixth inning. figuring that Dineen would
call the game, but he made them play it
out.
From the press stand it was almost i'm
possible to see the ball. All of the Wash
ington players are greatly pleased with
the selection of the men who will get the
Chalmers-players Grit and Mcbride were
talking about last night.
They are two mighty fine fellows.
said Mcbride, ''and I'll bet that every
ball player is glad that they have been
chosen. l never heard a player yet who
had hard word for either of them. -

BIG ELEVENS SHOULD NOT
BE PUSHED IN GAMES TODAY
With One Possible Exception, All Meet
Teams Which Should Be
Defeated Easily.
BY H. c. BYRD.

The big elevens should not be pushed
TO any extent in the games in when
they are scheduled to appear this after
noon. There is not one of the larger
universities which should not win by
fair-sized score. unless it be that Yale
is held by Syracuse. All the others
should win the contests in which they
are scheduled to appear without beng
forced to do their best.
To judge by the large scores which
have been run up SO far this fall by
deal of difficulty in getting away with
the Lehigh eleven. 1t Is generally
thought that the Pennsylvania team Will
be represented by a stronger agsreSa-
ton this season than it has had in some
time. but the Tigers have been running
up such large scores against the smaller
eleyens they have faced that It Goes NOT
appear very probable that Lehigh VIII
be much feared.
Yale is the only one of the larger instl-
tutions which should meet much troupie;
On form it should have a hard time OF
it getting away with Syracuse. unless IL
goes a lot better than it has in the con-
tests already played. and also providing
Syracuse is up to its general standafo.
The Dark Blue eleven has not done what
has been expected of it so far, having
barely won couple of games WIN
schools which hardly have been concealed
to be in it's class. Syracuse may not be
as strong as it has been at times IN
the past and Yale may win by a fair
margin. On what is known, though, it
would appear that it is the one big team
which NAV expect to be pushed.

Harvard May Be Held.

Holy Cross held Yale to a small score
and it may turn the same trick against
Harvard, although it is not probable.
The Crimson. while it has failed to roll
up any large scores as yet, has not been
extended and has not been forced to
put forth its greatest offensive strength
1t should win from Holy Cross by al
least two toichdowns.
PENNSYLVANIA will beat Dickinson by
fair margin, probably twenty or more
points. The Quakers have a backIeid
strong enough to score against any OF the
larger elevens and, accepting as cri-
terion what they have done in their other
early contests, they should be able to
get away with the Dickinson aggregation
by not less than four touchdowns.
The Carlisle Indians Will probably go
against the strongest eleven they have
vet faced in Washington and jefferson.
Glen Warmers crew should win, but it
is hardly likely it will roll up as large q
score as it has done in the games al
ready played. Washington and jefferson
prevented Cornell from scoring . touch
down and, while thai is not s;.ying n
great deal, because Cornell c. not be
| said to be anywhere near in t re same
! class with the Indians, it mear5 that a
fairly strong defensive game IS played
| by the eleven the Indians will meet.
| Cornell should defeat Oberlin by fair
margin Notwithstanding the fact that

| there is not much probability that they
will drop another contest to a minor
| school.

PULLMAN NIMRODS WILL
COMPETE WITH COLFAX
members OF Rod and Gun Club VIII
TO to Colfax Sunday TO Meet
Trigger Pullers of County Seat

The Pullman Rod and Gun Club
mas accepted the challenge of the Col
TAX club for shotgun tournament.
ana the contest will take place at Col
TAX next Sunday. The details of the
tournament are being arranged by
the ColfaX club, and a five-man team
shoot will probably be the big card
OF the day. In this event Pullma an
VIII De represented by the five high
men In the big season shoot. These
men, with their scores to date, 100
birds having been thrown, are as fol-
lows: Allen, rs; Martin and Ford
30; Austin, ga; VanDorn and Tai
mage, 80. Besides these men several
other local enthusiasts will go to Col
faX to take part in the tournament.
ColfaX is the home of several
above-the-ayerage shotgun artists
and the Pullman contingent will have
to hustle to win the majority of the
events. In all probability arrange
ments will be made by the represen-
tatlves Of the two towns next Sunday
whereby these inter-town contests
Will be made monthly affairs, alter
mating between Colfax and Pullman.
The regular weekly shoot of the
local club last Sunday was well at
tended and some first class new ma
tertal was unearthed Swall and
Jain, both new men at the traps,
broke the saucershaped targets with
regularity that made the old timers
sit up and take notice, and few

men among the top notchers. In the

len were first, with 81 each; Talmage
was second, with IS, while VanDorn

Annual Campus Day at State College

Friday, April 18th. has been set
aside by the College authorities for an
annual Campus Day. On this day all
the students of the College and no
doubt number of the members of
the faculty will be seen in their old
clothes hard at work identifying the
campus. The work will be carried on
Systematically; each student will be
ASST gned to a piece of work and will
be held responsible for the same. All
necessary tolls will be furnished by
the College. The College co-eds will
help out also by keeping the workers
supplied with lemonade and by
spreading the MONDAY lunch. Among
other improvements it is planned to
put in a cement walk from the Audi
torium to the Gymnasium.

GOLD WATCH FOB
FOR COACH CECIL CAVE
Members of High School Football
Team Show Their Appreciation
of Efficient Coaching

j. Cecil Cave, the efficient football
coach of the Pullman high school, is
wearing a handsome gold watch fob
which was presented to him Wednes-
day as a token of the good will and
esteem of the members Of the team
which he coached to victory last fall.
The fob is of solid gold From the
guard pin, on which are engraved the
initials j. C. c." are suspended
three chains of square gold links to
which is attached a large signet, on
the face of which is engraved the fol-
lowing inscriptions: ITO Coach Cave
from P. II. S. Football Team, 1911"
The presentation was made in the
assembly room by Ivan Putnam in
neat little speech. Coach Cave was
taken completely by surprise and for
a few moments was up in the air, but
rallied quickly and made a graceful
tackle of the task of expressing his
gratitude. He feelingly thanked the
members of the team, not only for
their present, but also for their faith
full work on the gridiron last fall, and
said that the watch fob would always
recall pleasant memories of the sea-
son of 1911.

WILL RAISE TOMATOES FOR
EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES

In connection with the work of the
horticultural departm ent at the State
College Professor Humphrey has ne
gotiated with several growers of
Charleston, Wash, for the use of some
acreage to be devoted to the Guilt
walton of tomatoes for experimental
work. The College furnishes the
plants and man to plant them under
the condition that the grower care
for and water them until maturity,
then receiving for his compensation
the crop. 1t Is estimated that about
four acres in various parts of the
valley will be devoted to this work
under the direction of Professor
Humphrey. The College expects to
plant upward of $4,000 plants and
from the experimentation to secure
information as to the plants least sus-
ceptible to the blights, which have
proven to be a very serious pest and
hindrance to successful tomato cul-
ture After securing the plants
which are most immune from the
blight. Professor Humphrey hopes to
be able, through scientific expert
ments, to produce tomato plant that
will wlststand the work of the pests.
Such experimentation, when carried
to a conclusion Will undoubtedly be
of great value to the small growers
of the state.

According to a letter from the
State Geologist it will be impossible
to carry on the work of that depart
ment during the coming summer,
owing to the lack of funds. This
means that everything will be
brought to a standstill until after the
next meeting of the state legislature.
when it Is hoped sufficient sum will
be appropriated for the finishing Of
the mapping of the state. The data
which has been gathered on the coal
lands, cement localities and lime
formations of the state will not be
published until some later date for
lack of funds.
Last summer members of the State
College department of geology spent
several weeks in the Chelan country
working out the form alton of that
particular region and adding much
valuable information to that already
acquired.
