10y SlNlNS every ounce OF strength
they had to the game Benders foot
ball team returned Sunday from Spo-
kane Il badly battered aggregation,
but happy with their ope-point vic
tory over Whitman College Only in
the last quarter was the game pulled
from the fire, when Billy Smith, mid
get halfback and former quarter,
squirmed across the Whitman goal
line and gave Bangs the opportunity
of winning the game by his goal
kick.
The class of football was far from
approaching the standard of the O.
A. G. game, but two teams never
fought harder than the two Satur-
day. The State College team entered
the game with four substitutes for
star players and when Dietz was
taken from the game with a dis
located elbow the head of the kick
ing department was gone.
In Hoover and Mcdonald Hahn
has two OF the fastest, shiftiest backs
in the Conference, and they were CON
tinually pulling off dazzling plays
that were usually good for Is or 20
yards. Tho game was hard one
on nerves for neither team was sure
Of victory until the final whistle
stopped hostilities.
A large number of w. S. G. peo-
pie attended the game, and the band
was sent up by the Rooter Club. The
cheering was Il feature of the game.
W. S. G. played on the defensive
until Whitman had scored and then
used offensive tactics and had the
bali on Whitmans l9-yard line at
the end Of the first half
In the third quarter W. S. c. start
ed with a rush and soon had the ball
on Whitman's l0-yard line, only 10
lose 80 yards on account of holding.
Bangs punted over the goal line and
the ball was put in play on Whit
mans 20-yard line. W, s. c. got the
ball on downs and when Bangs
kicked Heg was tripped as he was
going down on the ball Whitman
was penalized / ) yards, which put
them on their two-yard line, and on
the next down Baker punted out VI
bounds on their l7-yard line.
At the beginning Of the fourth
quarter w. S. c. had the ball on
Whitmans 10-yard line. Bangs
made five yards and first down, but
this was as far as they could go, los
ing the ball on downs. Baker punted
80 yards but a forward pass to Heg
and a couple of runs by Bangs and
Bernard with a Whitman penalty put
the ball back on Whitman's four
yard line. Again Whitman was pen
allied, this time half the distance to
their goal Smith then went through
for touchdown and Bangs kicked
goal.
w. S. c. kicked to Whitman, but
they failed to gain and were forced
to kick. W. S. c. made first down
three times straight before they were
forced to kick back. Whitman tried
forward pass on the fourth down,
but Tyrer broke through and spoiled
it. LOOMS made two yards Just as
the whistle blew
