Knudson at Full.

In the backfield the first lineup will
include Brown and Lockhart at half
and Knudson at full with good bunch
of subs on the side-lines, among whom
will be Red" Johnston, Gene Gerlough
and Ross.
Idahos team will be little lighter
than w. S. C.'s though the difference
in weight between the two elevens
hasn't made much difference in the
outcome of the games in years past.
If the weather continues good the
game will be played on the new ath-
letic stadium west of the gymnasium
and as the opening contest on that
field is expected to draw crowd O.
almost 5000 spectators.

"Pink" Not Worrying.

But pink" isn't worrying very much
over the situation and is getting some
of his recruits into shape to be ready
if they have to be used. The team is
working good since the Gonzaga game
and all of the men have been out on
the practice field again except Keane
whose ankle sprain which he received
early in the Spokane game Saturday
will not yet permit him to get around
handily. 1t is doubtful whether he
will be in a condition to enter Fri
days game. AS substitutes for John
son, Till Gerlough and Dingle are be-
ing worked at right end this week and
will prove far from poor men at that
position if they should have to be used.
DeWald at the other end of the line
will enter the first lineup Friday and
will probably be kept in the game all
four quarters. He made fine showing
at Spokane Saturday. Purdy at quar-
ter is expected to play a strong game.
He is fairly heavy and his head work
is exceptionally good At center Hays
will hold his own while the rest of
the line including Phillips, Kinnison,
Favre and Groniger with Thometz and
Mattinsen as substitutes will take
care of itself.

The matter of playing Johnson has
been in dispute between the two in

members of the northwest conference
in the hope that their opinions might
have some weight in settling the mat
ter. The University of Washington
management promptly replied that
they would have no objections what
ever to Johnson's playing. The same
word came from Oregon Agricultural
college. Still w. S. c. protested and
finally decided to send their commit
tee to Moscow to confer personally on
the matter.

Over Last Years Game.

The trouble arose over Johnson s
playing in the Idaho-W s. C. game last
season, after which he was declared
ineligible by the other schools in the
conference and taken out of the line
up. Johnson has played three of the
four years allowed him under con-
ference rulings in an eastern college
and w. S.. c. contends that his playing
in the single game last year made the
fourth season and that he is ineligi-
Bile this year. Graduate Manager Lar
son stated this afternoon that to save
further trouble Johnson would prob
ably not enter Fridays game but that
he will be played in all of the other
games this season

VIVID PICTORIAL
DRAMA AT IMPERIAL

As a happy relief from the stereo-
typed and conventional pictorial de-
tective story. "An Hour Before Dawn"
a fitting sequel to Chelsea 1880"
with Laura Sawyer and House Peters
in the leading roles, was offered for
the first time yesterday at Grauman's
Imperial theater, and was an en-
phatfc success. AS a modern female
detective play, introducing big met
ropolitan mystery, An Hour Before
Dawn" is one of the best seen here in
long time. The story is based on
the astounding discovery by Signor
Ulivii, an Italian engineer, of a pow
erful elemental destructive force
technically known as mira red ray,
which has recently startled the scien-
tifie world. Not only is there never
a dull moment in this rapidly moving
pictorial drama but it is replete with
frequent surprises, thrills, sensations
and climaxes. 1t will be presented,
with other big features, during the
entire week at Grauman's Imperial.
