DOb|E HOPES TO
WIN FROM IDAHO
But the Washington Coach
Is Not Over Confident of
the Result.

That the fast University Of Wash
versity of Idaho tomorrow in their big
gridiron match, IL the Washington
players will work and not loaf. Is the
opinion of Coach Dobie, who is some-
what peeved over the showing made
by his men during practices this week.
The game promises to draw the largest
crowd of any exhibition put on in the
northwest this season.
From Dobie's camp comes the fol-
lowing report:
Dobie was disguised with the stuff
ing of his crew, and especially Presley,
center, and Captain Tom Griffiths,
guard, at yesterdays practice. Pres
ley, one of the few veterans on the
team, was relegated to the second
string. being supplanted by Burke
Griffiths, n brother Of the leader, who
was roundly panned by the football
mentor for his lack of interest in the
scrinnmage workouts. Captain Grif-
fths has been sulking lately, accord
ing to Coach Dobie so the canny Scot
gave him "a hours to quit his crab
bling or leave the squad.
Several other regulars have been
falling down badly at this eleventh
hour and the elongated tutor feels
that the fans should not roast him in
case Idaho, the threatening cloud of
the conference horizon, lights on
Washington Saturday.
The backs and ends, in which places
Idaho Is reputed to be exceptionally
strong this fall, are worrying Coach
Dobie the most. Shiel, Jacquot. Dor
man and Young, behind the line, do not
make a winning combination, as they
lack experience and confidence. Young,
quarterback, although not adept at d.
recting plays. is kept on the first
string principally on account of his
kicking. Smith, who alternates with
Young, also lacks field generalship
so Washington will entrust the pivotal
position to a green quarterback against
| Idaho Saturday.
Hunt and Abbott, the regular ends
on the first eleven. are slightly i'm
proving in their ability to receive for
ward passes, although both recruits
need considerable training yet before
, they will merit the faith of Dobie and
! the rooters. Sutton, the only regular
end, Is not able to play steadily on ac-
count of his sprained ankle. and Clark
and Leader are only mediocre extrem-
| tiles.
