COUGARS WIN FROM
MONTANA ELEVEN
Final Game of Season Results i'm
Victory for State College
Team

Washington State College ended
its 1919 football season last Thurs
day afternoon with a brilliant VIC
tory over the University of Montana
at Missoula. WEIGHS battered vet
Grams thus wound up one of the
hardest schedules that has ever fall
len to the lot of college football
team, and in ending their season S
services, established a record of con-
ference games played that has sell
dom been recorded in football an
nails.
When annual taps sounded over
the vanquished body of King Foot
ball on Thanksgiving day, the pale
moon that flickers ever and anon
over the destinies of football teams
smiled serenely upon the battle
Scared veterans of Washington
State College. Pursued relentlessly
by royal jinx ever since that mem
orable battle on Multnomah field
with Oregon, the undaunted Cou-
CARS nevertheless proved themselves
superior to jinx, luck, fate, and for
tune, and won the closing game in
blaze of glory which proved be-
yond doubt that the greatest team
of the West still has the same home
stamping grounds it had when
"Lonestar" Deitz's railsplitters first
brought home the bacon from Pas
adena in 1915.
1t was a clean and hard-fought
game, and credit is to be rendered
the Montana team for playing a los
ing game well, and contesting every
inch that a superior team was able
proved superior to the Grizzly at all
stages of the game, and although
the Bruins succeeded in scoring in
the first period, the final result OF
the game was at no time in doubt.
Missoula fans stated after the con-
test that more exciting and spec
tacular affair had not been witnessed
on the Montana field for long time.
With numerous successful and in
tercepted forward passes as well as
brilliant extended runs for touch
downs on both sides featuring the
game there is no doubt that it really
was one of the most open games of
football staged in the Northwest.
The field, although hard, was fast,
and made open play, especially over
head football, popular. The zero
weather which was prevalent Meth
er put quietus on the attending
crowd nor retarded the action OF
the players.
Last Game for Hanley
1t was the final appearance of Cap
tain Dick Hanley in the Crimson and
Gray. This versatile player, first
to lead Cougar" team into battle,
last Thursday ended a brilliant col
lege football career extending over
four successful seasons. Making his
letter at halfback as a frosh in 1919
under Dietz, Dick Hanley has played
brilliant and consistent game IN
the backfield during four of the
greatest seasons in Washington
o.
State College football history and sl-
though he was hampered in his final
season by injuries, he wound up his
services for the Crimson and Gray
IN an enviable manner, co-starrlng
with the mighty ellis for the laurels
OF the game.
The contest also marked the pass
Ing of Walter Herreid and Bert
Brooks, both of whom have long ana
creditable records in coast football
history, Herreid had his last wish
and longing granted before ne
turned in his moleskins, in that ne
went over the Montana goal for
touchdown for his alma mater
something which rarely falls to the
tate of the five men playing in the
center OF the line. 1t was the fourth
