II is not every football team that
has a chance to wallow around and
accumulate four or five layers of Pas
adena mud. Considering the price of
real estate in Pasadena, il is estimated
that the Brown athletes had at least
S125,000 worth Of mud clinging to
them when they left the field How
ever, they will not be permitted to
take IL home with them. We are hos

No Whitewash.
In getting shut out or skunked
Brown received what is technically
known as a whitewash. However, in
the present instance, this can be re-
garded as only figure of speech. In
the minds OF those present the event
will linger long, not as whitewash,
but a mud bath.
The main impression left by the
game was that of fine young college
men OF the best New England families
dripping with rich, sticky loan.
This, Of course, was to the liking
of the Washington athletes, who go
to school under these conditions.
Satisfactory.
Having no team down in these parts
which looked quite good enough to
wallop Brown, we borrowed team
from the state of Washington for the
occasion, and in so doing made no
mistake The up-coast boys did a
thorough and painstaking job, and left
absolutely nothing to the imagination.
Brown can thank the gods of luck
that the score was not % to 0 in
stead of IA, for twice Washington
fumbled within the fasteners 5-yard
line and a Brown man curled around
the ball. All of the game but FIVE
minutes of 1t was played in Brown ter
ritory. In that five minutes Brown
got as far as Washington States 10
yard line and there lost the ball on
downs.
The western backs, with five and six
men anead of them, literally tore the
right side of the Brown line to shreds
during the last half, when all the
scoring was done Boone, DietZ and
Bangs, the Washington backs, were
practically unstoppable. II was SCI
dom that they didn't reach the second
airy defense before being downed. The
interference caught the Brown men
amidships and the man carrying the
ball tore on, dragging two tacklers
through the mud.

Correct.
One enthusiastic Brown alumnus
prophesied before the game began
that Coach Robertson could send in
either his first or second team and
a 10 w
right. 1t did not make any difference.
Coach Robertson in the third quarter
ranked his backfield-Pollard, An
drews, Saxon and Purdy-and sent in
the subs. But the Washington bat
tering attack went on Just the same,
sitting the opposing linesmen down
hard and blowing along.
Early in the second half Quarter
back Durham found that holes could
be made in the right side of the Brown
line and he marshaled his forces TO
batter it down. II soon locked like a
well-constructed sieve. Two linesmen
would shift over, the backs would form
V-shape behind them then the man
with the ball would go plunging in.
He would start for the tackle and
then veer, charging straight through

Farnum, the giant tackle, sat down
three or four yards behind his own
line every charge. At the end of the
game he was calling for pillow and

Andrews. in a vain effort to stop the
attack. flung himself into the line.
