SPORTS
TWO FOOTBALL GAMES
WILL COME TOMORROW

Football fans will be treated to a
double-header Saturday, when the first
and second Willamette teams line up
against the first and second teams from
Chemawa.
The Indians first team is pretty
much of dark horse this year, and the
varsity men are wondering what the
result will be. The reds played great
ball against the husky local high school
eleven, defeating them by a large
margin, and are reported to have added
several new men since that contest.
The varsity second team has had a
squad of over 25 men out all season,
but all are new at the game, and the
lineup for Saturday has not been de-
cided upon.
Joseph Gerhart, of Weiser, Idaho,
has been chosen as captain of the sec
ond team, and is working hard to get
his men in shape to handle the Indians
Saturday.
The contest tomorrow will probably
be the last one before the first team
meets the University of Oregon here
two weeks from tomorrow.
The intervening time will probably
be spent in perfecting the machine
that will defend the cardinal and gold
against the gridiron men from Eugene.
Although the first team lineup for
tomorrow game has not been given
out the line is now forming as follows:
L. E., Torklesen; L. T., Neustal; L. G.,
