year. From a second rater for several son developed an eleven that outclassed all opposition Many critics believe the Washington State college team to be the best on the Pacific slope. The universities of Oregon, Idaho and Montana and Whit man college and the Oregon Aggies all were defeated by Dietz's team by scores
 ranging from F to 40.
 In this record two features stand out. The Oregon Aggies, whom the state col lege defeated 29 to 0, journeyed to Lan- sing, Mich, and walked over the strong Michigan Aggies' team to the tune of 20 to 0. A week after the University of Montana had secured the short end of a 27-to-7 score against Washington State, the Montanans outplayed the great Syra- cuse university team ? to i, but had to be satisfied with a 6-to-6 score.
 Probably no game ever played will dem- onstrate the relative merits of far east ern and far western football so nicely as will the New Years contest between Brown and Washington State. Brown S standing on the Atlantic slope is almost as close to the top as is Washington States on the Pacific. Of nine games this season, Brown won five, lost three and tied one. Carlisle lost to Brown S9 to 3; Yale lost, to 0; and Brown won the following games in addition: Rhode Island State, 3S to 0: Williams, 33 to o;
 Vermont, 46 to O. The Trinity game was
 a scoreless tie, and Brown lost to Am
 herst, 0 to z; to Syracuse, 0 to $; and to
 Harvard, 2 to 16 But a glance at the records shows that it is no disgrace to
 have lost to such teams, especially by
 scores that were far from decisive.
 Over the coming game, the Pacific northwest has stirred up more enthusi- asm than has been developed for an ath- letic contest in many years. Spokane s residents are pulling hard for the state college, which is only S5 miles south of this city, and the local chamber of com
 merce will give a big banquet and re-
 cepNon to DietZ and his team en route
 to Pasadena.
 By far the most spectacular feature of
 the far western football season has been
 Dietz, whose comngs and goings and ec-
 centricities have provided countless col
 umns for northwestern sport writers.
 Fresh from five years as a player on the
 Carlisle eleven, followed by three years
 as assistant coach under the famous War
 ner, Dietz and his doings have been the
 athletic sensation of the Pacific north west. His father was white. his mother
 a Sioux Indian. Each morning Professor
 DietZ conducts classes in the fine arts de-
 partnlent of the state college, and occa-
 sionaliy lectures before womens clubs on
 subjects pertaining to art and architec-
 ture. His faultless clothes have made
 him a Beau Brummel. Fac hafternoon, always immediately garbed, he teaches
 the young how to block and tackle and
 bust up their opponents. He always car
 ries walking stick, and very often wears a silk hat and Prince Albert
 Dietz and his players are going to Pasa-
 dena determined to make a good showing
 for western football. He has a fast, ag-
 gressive, well-coached team that fights
 hard from start to finish, and deep down
 in his heart the Indian coach believes
 Washington State will demonstrate that
 football in the far west is as good as anywhere in the country.
