NEWER AT QUARTER
IN CALIFORNIA GAME
continued from first page)

20 to 3, on Friday is indicative to
many fans of a wonderful battle in
Portland next Saturday when Cali
fornia and the Staters get together
on Multnomah field with the Pacific
Coast title undoubtedly at stake.
California, on score basis,
would look to be a trifle the better
team. Idaho and Oregon played a
tie. Washington State man-handled
Idaho 20 to and California did like
wise to Oregon 80 to 0. Using these
figures as basis of comparison the
Southerners would seem to be the
more powerful eleven.
There is as yet no way of telling
how strong the Oregon Aggies are.
but taking Coach Bagshaw's word
for it that Washington State is much
the stronger, the Northwest then
must pin its hopes for the Pacific
Coast conference championship on
the State College team at Portland

INTERESTING RELIC FOR
PIONEERS ASSOCIATION

The Whitman County Pioneers as
ISOLATION is to have the side-saddle
which the late ]. A. Perkins pre-
sented to his future wife about so
years ago when she was living with
her parents, Captain and Mrs. James
EwaEt, on Union flat and he was
riding out from Colfax to call on her.
Means of transportation in those
days were few and Mr. Perkins pre-
scented his bride-to-be with the sad
die so that they could attend the
few community gatherings.
Mrs. Perkins has decided to add
the saddle to the collection which
the pioneers association is making
of relics of the early days of Whit
man county. Mr.. Perkins came to
