FOOTBALL SQUAD OFF
FOR TRAINING CAMP
Coach Bender and Twenty Men VIII
Open Camp at Twin Lakes-Ex-
poets Squad of Thirty by
Middle of Week

Coach John r. Bender, athletic
mentor at Washington State College,
will leave this afternoon with a
squad of 30 husky football men for
Spokane, and from Spokane they
will depart Sunday for the upper
Twin Lakes, in Idaho, where the fall
Training camp will be opened Mon
day morning to give the State Col
lege men two weeks of preliminary
seasoning before the hard grind of
active scrimmage practice COM
Coach Bender will take equipment
Tor more than 80 men, and it is eX-
pected that this number will be cas-
lily reached during the first week
at the camp, many of the men hay-
| ing been unable to leave their sum-
NOR work in time to make the trip
to the camp with Coach Bender.
Three candidates for the quarter
back position will leave Pullman
with Coach Bender today, the only
veteran of the trio being Durham,
the Spokane boy who last fall
showed up well in several hard
| games The other two aspirants for
| that position are Burnurd and
| White, both new men who have had
high school experience but who have
| yet to prove themselves of confer
ence calibre The backfield men
and ends who will journey to the
camp from Spokane Sunday are
Tyrer, Dietz, Tweed and Boiler all
of last years squad, and LoOmis,
Sanderson Hanley and Fred Glover,
al new material. OF last years line
men who will spend the first day in
camp are Langdon, Alvord, Apple
quist and Fast. while the new men
who aspire 10 line positions are
Cooper, Finney Sites and Weed
mark.
Several of the new men who prom
Use to add much to W. S. c. foot
ball strength will join the above
squad early next week, going direct
from their homes, and local fans will
eagerly watch for reports from the
camp. The camp offers every facil-
ity for seasoning the players, and it
is possible that before the men re-
turn to Pullman they will experience
some scrimmage training. Their
daily routine for the first week at
least, however, will be rowing, |
swimming, tennis, mountain climb |
ing and other muscle hardening
sports, with punting and passing as a
side line
Coach Bender, while not claiming |
a championship team this early in
the season, is still very optimistic |
despite his heavy loss of veterans, |
and expressed considerable amuse- |
ment at Dobie's annual bear" story |
in last Sundays Seattle Times. Said |
Coach Bender anent the Dobie squib |
Il have been looking for such a |
wall to eminate from the elongated |
coach and my only surprise is that
it didn't come sooner. With his
high school schedule in his own back
yard, which places him in a position
to win his games but not to give the
people of the Northwest the football |
they deserve; with a better seasoned |
squad of second string men to open
the season with than will grace the |
first squad of most of the conference
colleges and with enough veteran
material to insure a team as good as
last years, he certainly has no room
to 'hoiler.
AT Pullman we will actually lose
Smith and Gaddis. quarterbacks; |
Shallaberger, full; Vance and Coult-
er, half backs, Satterthwaite, end;
Hinderman, the Freshman tackle, |
not to mention Joe and Shorty
Harter, Northwest guard and center,
yet we are not complaining, and |
maintain that we can give Dobie and
every other team in the conference |
a run for their money this fall"
Bender has added a Varsity |
Alumni game to his already heavy |
schedule, making II hard games for |
his squad, with only week separat-
ing his conference games. This
game is scheduled for September IS.
