Pasadena, Cal.-Western football
was indicated New Years day when
the Washington State college football
eleven handsomely smeared Brown
university, pride of Providence, R. l.,
IA to 0.
Having no team Gown in these parts
which looked quite good enough to
wallop Brown Pasadena borrowed a
team from the eastern part of the
state of Washington for the occasion,
and in so doing made no mistake. The
boys from the Washington State col
lege at Pullman did thorough and
painstaking job and left absolutely
nothing to the imagination.
On the wet and Doggy field they
doomed just about three touchdowns
better than the Providence people, and
but for an untoward tumble, caused
primarily by the slippery condition of
the weather, they would have tri-
uhpmed by that number This accident
|
when Bangs lost the elusive sphere on
the two-yard line, right under the sha-
dow of the Brown goal. At least, it
would have been in the shadow of it,
had the sun been in a position to cast
any shadows.
The eastern Washington athletes
won mainly on straight football, de-
pending largely on driving power
that was irresistible. Washington
States superiority was evident during
three quarters of the combat. Only in
the second quarter did Brown have
the edge.
W.. S. C. Holds in Pinch.
During that time the Providence
team had the ball in w. S. G.. terri
tory practically every minute, once
forcing it down to the courtyard line
Dietz's men here dug their heels into
the mud and held magnificently con
sidering that they were not equipped
with skin chains.
This was w. S. C.'s only crisis, and
having bridged it satisfactorily it took
fresh courage, and drilled the ball
down to the Brown line late in the
third quarter, Boone g ing through
left tackle for the first touchdown.
Durham kicked goal. This was fol
lowed by another instalment of vic
tory, Dietz registering another touch
down after the ball had been smashed
down the field, and Durham again re-
peating.
Drop Kick Fails.
Again in the last quarter the Brown
breastworks were in danger from a
the 3O-yard line.
In the opening quarters honors
leaned slightly toward w. s. G. al
though neither goal was in danger.
Brown came back strong in the second
quarter, and came within hop and a
jump of scoring.
r. Boone Turns Tide.
The tide of battle changed unmis-
takably with the beginning of the
second half, when a powerful young
gent by the name of R. Boone, with
bullying biceps, got into action. Plain
| ly, he had been held in reserve for the
big smash He relieved Hanley at
right half.
Reinforced by the Boone party, the
w. s. G. backfield proceeded to batter
and tear the Brown line into subjec-
ton. Not being pikers, they picked
out right tackle for battering purposes
a position occupied by Farnum, who
has been strongly mentioned for the
all-American selection. With Captain
Clark putting the 214-pound .Farnum
out OF action, or at least hamp ering
him greatly, Dietz, Boone and Bangs
were smashing through on off-tackle
bucks with trip-hammer regularity
and literally crashed their way to two
touchdoWns.
Brown Star Blocked.
Pollard, the gentleman of color and
ability, who plays left half for the
New Englanders, hardly performed
up to the advance notices. Speed is
one of his greatest assets, but the slip
| perry field made it Of little use to him.
