DROP KICK WINS ANNUAL GAME
FOR STATE COLLEGE TEAM

Applequist and Clark were prob
ably the stellar performers in the
line, time and again splitting Idaho's
attempted runs from a spread forma-

after few futile attempts to gain
yardage through his position Idaho
gave up in despair. Finney has the

best tackles in the conference.

ground gamers, and couple of
Hamilton's tackles were on the sen

w. 5. C.'s best ground gaiaing
play was from a kick formation.
Dietz passing the ball to Bernard or
Smith after taking a kick. On one
occasion Bernard went through the
Idaho team twice twisting his way
to 20-yard gain, and his wriggling
and straig ht-arming won for him the
applause of the near 5000 spectators
who lined the slope to Rogers Field.
Summed up, it is certainty that
w, s. c. has at least seven men who.
on the strength of their play in the
three conference games to date, will
make strong bids for all-Northwest
honors. Dietz, Tyrer and ApplequiSt
look TO have already cinched jobs ON
the mythical team as fullback, left
end and right tackle respectively.
Bernard deserves the quarterback
position on the all-star team, but the
coaches are not inclined to grant
these favors to first-year men, so
that he may be obliged to give way
to Cornell of the u. of o., although
the w. S. c. towhead is preceptibly
the better man of the two. Then
: there are Heg, right end; Clark, cen
ter, and Smith, halfback, whose play
has entitled them to consideration
and any one of these men stands a
good chance of landing the honors.

w. S. c. did not show her real
strength in the second half of the
Idaho game because of her safe tao
tics. Content with drop-kick vic
tory, Bender's men were coached TO
take no chances, hence resorted on
several occasions to punting on the
first down. However, that was foot
ball, and resulted in keen disap-
pointment to Coach Archie Hahn,
who was scouting for Whitman.
Bender uncovered but few of his re-
serve plays, and will have something
new for Whitman and Washington.
John Jones, the hero of many foot
ball battles of the early days, was
loud in his praises of the spirit dis
played by the Pullman team, and
predicted that W. S. c. will give
