Washington Wins
Foot Ball Contest

rain that marred the tournament OF
roses, the Washington State college foot
ball eleven defeated Brown university.
"a to o. here today in a game that fea-
tured the city's annual New Year festi-
val.
Vigorous assaults on the Brown line
and constant bucking tactics kept the
Rhode Island athletes continually on the
defensive. They held Washington score
less in the first half of the game and
even imperilled the goal of the western
ers on one or two occasions, but they
finally were beaten back on the water
soaked field I'm the third and fourth quar-
tiers, Washington getting a touchdown
and goal in each.
Boone. who replaced Hanley at right
half for Washington at the beginning OF
the second period, scored the first touch
down and plunging Washington fullback

the wind prevailing during the game the
fullback each time booted the ball be

We read in the papers that some big
preacher was going to have n special
meeting at his church In the city to pray
for the people who have to spend lone
some Christmas on the farm. Father
and mother and the rest of us have
laughed at that more than little
guess that preacher never spent Christ
mas on the farm. Why. you couldn't find
a place where there was more excite

One day father would be reading the
paper when all OF a sudden he would lay

could, mostly through his nose-'hmmml"

Some of these materials are now costing

STAGE Is ALL SET
FOR THE BIG PULL
International Tug-o'-War Staged
by Jack Prince Opens at Audi
torium This Evening.
FOUR PULLS EVERY NIGHT

All set for the big international tug-of-
war which will be held at the Auditorium
all this week. starting tonight and end
ing with the pulls next Sunday night.
Everything is in readiness for the crack
ing of the pistol which will start the two
first teams on their way. The Auditorium
will all be fixed up today with the big
pulling platform installed in the center
of the building so as to be in full view
of everybody, no matter where they may
be, and the decorations and the flags of
the various nations entered will be put
up.
Four pulls will be held tonight, as every
other night of the event. Thus all eight
teams take part every evening and each
team pulls each other team one time. BY
this series of elimination there can be
no dispute as to place in the final stand
ing.

Bert lie Bron, who is of French de-
scent and therefore a neutral as no team
representing France is entered, has agreed
to referee the pulls.
Jack Prince, the veteran promoter who
is staging the event. declares it will be
his biggest success in the way of tug
of-wars. Prince has staged innumerable
tugs all over the country. The first one
he ever put on was at the coliseum TWEEN
ty-five years ago and that was consider
able Of a success. But the pull this year
will be even bigger says Jack.

during the week." said Prince. Tonight
you will see at least 5000 persons on

no chance one of the pullers may suffer
from physical exhaustion.
Six men will pull on each team. Nine
men are allowed on a team, thus max
inc three substitutes.
George GREEN'S band will furnish the
music. The bandmaster has his musicians
all trained in playing the national airs
of the countries taking part so that there
will be no slip twixt the lip and the in

THREE HIGH FLOOR
GAMES THIS WEEK
South High-Fremont, Central High

Crete Stage Combats.
LATTER GAME TO BE THRILLER

Three games of importance in the state
inter-scholastic field will be played o.
Friday and Saturday of the cominp
week. South High will meet Fremont
next Saturday evening at the South
High gymnasium. Central High will
meet Council Bluffs on the Omaha
Young Mems Christian association floor
Friday evening. Crete and Beatrice will
clash Friday evening on the Queen City
floor.
All three games will give a little
actual dope on how several of the bigger
teams of the state are going to pan out
According to the reports from Coach
Mulligans official circle, the Central
quintet is not faring as we'll as might
be expected of a big school team As
South High meets the Bluffs quintet on
the Omaha gym floor the week after
the Central-Councll Bluffs game, dope
sters will have an opportunity for com
parison of the two Omaha fives. Coach
Patton's tossers are in the prime Of
condition as is usually the case and plan
to give the Fremont lads the go of
their life. Last year the local five
defeated the Fremont team by a large
score.
The Crete-Beatrice conflict will be
some battle. Both teams defeated Will
bur, a strong first-class combination in
the same district, by practically similar
scores. With the exception of Geneva,
these two quintets are generally the best
southwestern Nebraska can produce.
The game Friday night will be largely
attended and bitterly fought. Beatrice
is an athletic town to the core and
turns out en- masse to most all games.
