.EXcdinp Slated for W.S.C Coach

cess with the Georgetown University
team which, though a comparatively
small institution, has won over many
OF its larger rivals. AS a coach he is
a hard worker, donning football toys
himself to rough his pupils into a
knowledge of the rudiments of the
game.
Unofficial rumor, not confirmed
by Athletic Director Boiler, places
the probable salary to be offered the
Carlisle man at $2500, considerably
under the near fabulous salary paid
Coach Dietz during his last two years
at the institution. In all probability
the contract will cover a period OF
only one season, longtime contracts
not being favored by many of the Of
ficials who will have hand in the
framing of the document.
Along with the rumors that Exc
dine will coach the State College
team of 1919 comes the prominent
mention of Carl Dietz, fullback on
the great team of 1915, as a strong
probability for assistant coach. Dietz
is without doubt one of the headi-
est players ever developed here, and
mastered the Warner system as
taught by Coach Dietz in a manner
that made him the idol of local fan
dom
The indications are that the State
College will have a championship
football team or a strong runner-up
in 1919, as many Of the old stars
who played under the Warner sys-
TEN will be back in the harness.
Those who are certain 10 return to
school next fall, all of whom were in
either the military or naval service
OF the country, are Captain-elect Dick
Hanley, quarterback; ellis, full;
! Glover, half; Schnebley, center;
Lyons. center and guard; Hamilton

and tackle; Roy Hanley end; Dun

and half: Moran, guard; Brown

a number OF second string men from
the past two years.

WILL FIND WORK FOR
RETURNED SOLDIERS
Chamber of Commerce Will Look
After Employment of Pullman's
Soldiers and Sailors

Pullman men returned from war
service will be assisted in securing
employment by the chamber OF COM
merce, the matter having been placed
in charge of a special committee on
employment for returned soldiers
and sailors by that organization after
fun discussion of the subject at the
Tuesday meeting. +. G. Densow is
chairman of the special committee
and all returned soldiers or sailors
of this community who desire en-
ployment are asked to get in touch
with him. Chairman Densow also
desires information as to available
ers who are in need of men will make
their wants known so that no time
will be lost in placing the returned
young men.
The question of dragging the roads
IN the vicinity of Pullman was raised
at the meeting Tuesday and the roads
committee was instructed to investi-
gate the situation and take such steps
as will be found necessary to secure
the assistance of the county commits
sioners in putting the roads in bet
ter shape. Deep ruts have formed in
the highways and it is believed that
dragging at the proper time Will put
them in fair condition for travel.
Prof. o. h. Waller. head of the de-
partmcnt of civil engineering of the
State College. urged the Importance
OF the small tractor as "a factor in
keeping the roads in passable condi-
ton, and suggested that campaign
be started to interest the county
commissioners in the purchase of one
or more of these machines to be used,
on the roads. A small tractor, he
contended, will pull two road drags
quite successfully, and will cover 80
miles per day under proper manage
ment.
Upon vote of the chamber the re-
port of the various special commit
tees recently named in connection
with the big Improvement program
outlined by the organization will be
made special order Of business for
next Tuesdays session.
1t was the first meeting of the
chamber for three weeks, owing to
the FLU" ban, but the attendance
was large and interest in civil mat
ters keen.

Carlisle Indian Tackle Favored for
Position by Majority OF Members
of Athletic Council-No Of
fetal Action

A. A. EXedine, famous as tackle on
the Carlisle Indian team in 1903,
1910 and 1911, will coach the State
College football team next fall, ac-
cording to persistent rumors, which,
though not substantiated by Athletic
Director j, f. Boiler, have found
their way into the daily papers and
are not denied by various members
OF the athletic council. Exedine, it
Is claimed, is the choice of the men,
bers of the athletic council, compris-
ing the faculty, student and alumni
athletic committees, and will UNI
doubtedly be recommended to the
board of regents by the council fol-
lowing their official sanction of the
great Indian player and coach. Just
what disposition of the recommends
ton will be made by the regents of
the college is problematical, but in
the past the college heads have fol-
lowed a policy of respect to the
wishes of the council and probably
will place the stamp of approval on
the choice of the athletic heads again
this year.
No meeting of the regents is yet
scheduled, and it may be several
weeks before the final selection is
made. Up to the present time all ac-
ton has been purely unofficial, but
the members of the athletic council
appear to be overwhelmingly in ia
yor of the Carlisle man.

CONCERT BY THE
ALLIED WAR VETERANS
Military Band of Forty Pieces to Be
at College Auditorium Saturday
Evening, February Eighth

The concert and entertainment by
the Allied War Veterans Military
band OF 40 members, which Will be
given in the college auditorium next
Saturday evening, will be one of the
big events of the season for Pullman
The program will include many
novelties in addition to the music by
the band. They will sing ballads
and trench songs, witty monologues
will be given, and special feature
will be the part of the program given
by the Scotch pipers and dancers.
All of the men have seen active
service, have lived in the trenches,
and many times have gone over the
top" and many show the marks and
scars of wounded and disabled SOL
diers.
The men are from the various
regiments of the allied countries, in
Guiding the doughboys of the Stars
and Stripes, the Tommy of the Union
Jack, the blue devil" of the tricolor,
and others. Many of the men were
soloists in some of the worlds ia
nous military bands, and have
played before the highest musical
critics in Europe and America.
Most of the members are from the
Canadian army, and Canadian cities
have equipped them with new uni
forms and instruments.
The conductor, Lieut.. Charles F.
Ward, was until recently band mast
er of the 121st regiment of Canada,
and of the 18th regiment Irish fusi-
liers, brigade bandmaster at Vernon
mobilization camp, 1915, and con-
ductor of the massed bands in review

Tickets for the concert and enter
tainment are on sale at Watts phar-
macy, the price being rs cents, which
includes the war tax. Reservation of

PULLMAN is JOYOUS

Pullman opened up" for the third
time Monday morning, the three
weeks quarantine occasioned by the
influenza epidemic in the city schools
having been raised by City Health
Officer Kinney at midnight Satur-
day. There are very few cases OF
the disease in the city at the present
time, with practically no new cases
developing, and it is believed that
the city is in better condition, from
standpoint of health, now than at
any time since the first epidemic
made its appearance. Delayed social
events and public gatherings, more
especially organization dances, are
now planning to make up for lost
time and Pullman should be busy

FEDERAL GRAND JURY
|NO|CTS ". h. D|ETz
Former State College Football Coach
Must Answer to Charge of False
Registration Under the Draft

On charge of false registration
under the draft, Coach William II.
tLonestar) Dietz. for three years
coach of the State College football
team, was indicted by the federal
grand jury in Spokane Concerning
the case the Spokesman-Revie had
this to say:
In his QUESTIONABLE Dietz, who
was the football coach for the Mare
Island marines, is said to have
claimed every possible ground for
exemption, including necessary head
OF an industrial establishment, de-
pendent family, ward of the govern
ment, an alien, an Indian and a non
voting resident of the United States.
In casting about for football coach
for 1919 the Washington State Col
lege let it be known that it would not
re-engage Dietz.
"Dietz's case was first called to
public notice in a statement given
to the Spokesman-Revew by City
Commissioner J. c. Argall of local
exemption board No. 2 This re-
ceiyed the attention of the depart
ment of justice, which secured copy
OF the Dietz QUESTIONABLE. An in
vestigation into the parentage OF
Dietz, the federal officers declared
disclosed that he is not an Indian.
According to the published state
mont of Commissioner Argall, who
was a witness yesterday before the
grand jury, Dietz, who said he was
born in North Dakota, classed him
self as a "noncitizen Indian" in his
registration card filled out Septem-
Der II, 1918. In his QUESTIONABLE
he said he was a white Indian. III
response to the question if he
claimed an exemption from military
duty because of not being a citizen,
Dietz said yes.
Commissioner Argall further
stated that he had been informed
that DietZ received an allotment from
the government as an Indian and was
educated at government expense at
the Carlisle Indian school.
The fact that Dietz, holding a
federal position as instructor for the
marines football team at Mare Is
land, denied his American citizen
ship and placed himself in the role of
a man without country, so aroused
the exemption board that the matter
was given to the public. The claim
OF DietZ for exemption was denied
by local board No. and he was
placed in class /.
AT the grand jury inquiry yester-
day testimony was heard from per-
sons who knew Dietz as a boy. They
said that his mother had flaxen hair
and that his father spoke with a

LOOKS GOOD FOR
EASTERN HIGHWAY
j. Il. Duke of PalOuSe Will Work in
Interest of Road at Olympia

That prospects are good for the
eastern division of the state highway,
from Oakesdale toward Pullman, is
the report coming from the session
OF the state legislature at Olympia.
In letter to Senator McCroskey of
Garfield, Senator Mccoy states that
indications are that provision will be
made for the improvement next year
of at least a part and perhaps all of
that part of the highway, although
developments have not yet reached
the point of certainty. At the meet
ing OF the Pullman chamber of COM
merce Tuesday, J. p. Duke of Pa
louise was endorsed as a representa-
tive of eastern Whitman county to
look into the affairs of the eastern
highway at Olympia and lend what
assistance he can to the measure. Mr..
Duke is going to Olympia on another
mission, but will have the endorse
ment of the commercial bodies of
Garfield, Palouse, Pullman and
other towns interested in the road
matter, and will be in position to
render valuable assistance to the leg
islatiye delegates in securing the APP
preparation.
