works are still renowned. Through the
engravings which he himself made of
these particular works well as by
numerous subsequent copies posterity
has not only become acquainted with
the face and form of the famous
American but has also had the pleas

for his work in leaving such a master

is found in the originals of his numer-

This noticeable lifelike characteristic
IS now thoroughly appreciated, despite
the fact that Trumbull's failure to rep

revolutionary chieftain prevented him
from making a complete success of his
Washington paintings.
An exception to this adverse criticism
is made. however, by many who pro-

over any other picture of himself.

Washington was pronounced by all
artists bad sitter. In fact he almost
invariably declared that each sitting
would be his last. At one time when
he sat for the three Peales, who were
artists, he remarked that he was
being peeled from all sides. James
Peale, successful in miniature work,
made several fine paintings of the re-
nowned subject for jewelry and for
snuff box covers. Rembrandt Peale,
the son of Charles w. Peale, achieved
fame for several of his Washingtonian

From the diversity Of these numerous

people wanted a counterpart of the

PLANS COMPLETE
FOR BIG EAST-WEST GAME
Wide Interest Aroused in Coming
Game Between Eastern and
Western Teams at
Pasadena

When the members of the Wash
ington State College football team,
champions of the Pacific coast,
board their special car December q
for the long trip to Pasadena, there
to meet the team from Brown uni
versity, they will be on the last lap
of the long period of training for the
chance to uphold the honor of the
Pacific coast against the attacks of
one of the strongest teams of the
far east. The men will leave Pull
man in the best of physical condi-
ton, in better condition in fact than
they have been at any other time
during the entire season. Only the
long and tiresome trip to Pasadena
and the necessity of playing under
greatly changed climatic conditions
remain to make an alibi necessary.
All other conditions have been met
and provided for by the coaches, and
it is probable that the disadvantages
resulting to the team from the
changed climatic conditions will be
balanced by a corresponding slow
ing-up of the Brown eleven, which
must come from far-off Providence,
Rhode Island, for the contest.
Since the Washington State team
swatnped Gonzaga with $50 score
on Thanksgiving day the team has
been steadily preparing for the con-
test with the team which humbled
Yale to the tune of to 0. New for
nations and plays which had not
been used in any of the games on the
regular schedule have been perfect

are believed to carry the possibilities
for faster and shiftier play. The
elimination of the quarterback and
the use of two fullbacks is the most
important change designed to In
crease the speed of play.
