about $4,000 short of subscribing
its quota of $4,000 of bonds of the
Fourth Liberty Loan The commit
tee IN charge met Wednesday and de-
cided to send out second letter to
persons who have not yet subscribed
for their share of the bonds. 1t is
hoped that the full amount will be
subscribed before the end of the
week There have boen comparative
ly few complaints over the individual
appointments, but people have
been SLOW about going to the banks
to enter their subscriptions. This
call must be met and the sooner the
quota is reached the better it will be
for the community.

BIG SQUAD REPORTS
FOR FOOTBALL WORK
-Four Teams to BE Organized for
lntercompany Contests-Varsity
Team Later

Pullman fans are assured of at
least one intercollegiate football
game this fall as the result of action
taken by the athletic council Satur-
day, when two games with Idaho
University were sanctioned and a
Thanksgiving day date with Oregon
Agricultural College was accepted. to
be played in Protland, Ore. A
provision was attached to the o. A.
c. game, however, that in case the
army officials do not observe Thanks
giving day as full holiday the game
will be played the Saturday previous.
Another game will probably be sched-
uled with Gonzaga.
The decision of the athletic council
to turn out football team is the re-
suit of desire on the part OF army
and college officials to give the stu
dent-soldiers every opportunity to
take part in athletics. Every man
who desires to turn out will be put
through the PAGES and the company
rivalry will make possible the par
ticipation in actual games of maxi
mum number of men.
Nearly 100 husky soldier-students
responded to Athletic Director J. f.
Boilers first call for football candi-
dates Tuesday and it is expected that
the squad will be even larger before
the week ends. To take care of the
small army of candidates Director
Boiler has selected men to coach the
candidates for each of the three
teams to be organized among the S.
A. T. c. and the fourth team, to in
clude only students who are not
members of the army organization.
George and JENNIE, both members of
last years freshman team, will round
the Company A men into shape,
while Schroeder and McIvor will
show the Company B men how to
play the game. The Company G as
Kotula and Benson, both of whom
have had experience under Coach
Lonstar Dietz, while Brandt, a men,
Der of the varsity squad last year,
will have charge of the outsiders.
Each of the four teams to be or
gained will play one game each
week, under the schedule prepared
by Director Boiler, the first contest
being scheduled for Saturday, Dc
tober 10. AT the conclusion of the
intercompany series, the men who
have shown the greatest promise will
comprise the varsity" squad, when
games with outside teams, including
Idaho and o. A. c., will be played.
Many of the candidates for the
four teams of the league" have had
considerable high school experience,
and a series of exciting and close
intercompany games is expected.

tine will be established, but as soon
as anyone develops symptoms of
Spanish influenza that person will be
isolated,
According to the statement by
Mayor Swain there are % cases of
Spanish influenza in the city, five OF

If the precautions adopted do not
stop the spread of the disease more
drastic action will be taken.
There will be no recitations at the
college, but light drill will be con-

physicians can be facilitated.

noon, and until further notice all
public gatherings will be strictly pro-
hibited.
