COUGARS BEAT IDAHO
BEFORE RECORD CROWD
walch Crew Outclasses Vandals and
Wins, 20 to 3-Idaho Has Best
Team in Years

Though he brought to Pullman
,he best team turned out by Idaho
University in many years, if not the
host in the history of the Idaho in
stitution, Coach Kelley was forced
n how to the inevitable in Fridays
" s. C.-Idaho game and the Vandal
team suffered a 20 to defeat at
the hands of the State College WEIGH
crew. 1t was game that would
satisfy the most eXaCting fan, with
Whirlwind offense met by stubborn
defense, well executed forward
masses interspersed with line plunges,
off tackle plays and end runs. From
start to finish it was a battle for
supremacy and the best team won,
though the losers played a plucky
and at times brilliant game against
a superior foe.
The Cougar team at times played
champion football, but in places the
tackling was poor and the interior
ence far from perfect. When they
got to going, however the State Col
lege backs gained almost at will
through huge holes opened in the
Idaho line by the Cougar forwards.
An indication of Cougar defensive
strength that brought joy to the
hearts of the 5000 fans came in the
fourth quarter, when, after the ball
had been taken to the w. S. c. one
yard line by Idaho on line plunges
and forward passes from the famous
Idaho spread" formation, the line
stiffened and four onslaughts by
Irving and H. Breasheres failed to
gain an inch. Jenne Immediately
kicked from behind his own goal
line and Idaho's brilliant march
down the field had come to naught.
Except for the unsportsmanlike
tactics of Vohs, Idaho left tackle,
the game was a clean one through
out. Vohs was ruled out of the
game near the close of the first
quarter and his team penalized 80
yards for smuggling Moe Sax, Cougar
half back. Although Vohs was one
OF the bulwarks of the Idaho line
and his loss to the team heavy
one, his coach and teammates won
the admiration of the fans when
they accepted the heavy penalty
without a protest and fought the
harder to regain the lost yardage

ROBIN HOOD" PLEASES
CAPACITY AUDIENCE
Ralph Dunbar Production, Presented
at College Auditorium, Takes Its
Place as One of the Big Sue
ceSSes of the Season

The Ralph Dunbar production of
Robin Hood, which was presented
at the college auditorium last Friday.
October 2l, to a capacity house,
scored a decided success and COM
pletely won the audience of music
lovers which thronged the house.
1t is safe to say that not since the
'Bostonians,' who disbanded many
years ago, presented Robin Hood"
has better company been heard in
the west. Some of the principals
showed grand opera calibre and the
chorus could really sing.
Harry Pfiel, as Robin Hood, gave
a creditable Interpretation of "a diff
ficult role, his light tenor voice be-
ing particularly effective in ensem-
BILE. Edward Andrews, as the Sher-
if of Nottingham, was unquestion-
ably the star of the evening, and
with his many years of stage routine
and clever lines gave rollicking
performance which introduced much
clean comedy.
Vocal honors should go to Carl
Bundschu, as Little John, whose
Well-trained baritone voice was dis
played in the famous song, Brown
October Ale with it's stirring eli
max. George Olsen. as Sir Guy Of
Osborne, deserves much praise for
his very clever conception of the part
of the country pumpkin. His make
up was considerably helped by ma
ture. William Degen, as Will Scar

chorus. gave a wonderfully finished
Interpretation Of the Song Of the
Cross-bow." George ODonnell play

The difficult role of Alan-a-Dale
was portrayed by Paula Ayers, whose
rich contralto voice was at its best
in the fayorite number 80 Promise
Me" The part of Lady Marian was
filled by the beautiful Theo. PEN
nington, who displayed a coloratura
voice of considerable beauty. As
Widow burden, Madeline Hartford
contributed much to the evening s
comedy.
Joe Cleta Howe, with her sweet
soprano voice, as the petit Annabel,
played her part cleyerly and she
gives much promise of becoming a
star at some future date.
The costumes appeared fresh and
new and added considerably to the
harmonious coloring. While the seen
cry and lighting effects were good,
particularly in the forest scene, the
onlooker could not help but feel that
had the college equipment. which Is
already on the campus, been in
stalled the Illusion would have been
greatly enhanced.
The entire student body faculty
and townspeople feel grateful to
those who were instrumental in
bringing sucn a wholesome attrac-
ton to the college, and one might
predict that should this company, or
another equally as good, again ap-
pear here, presenting some OF the
high class light or romantic operas,
they would be assured the support
of this community.

MCVER AT QUARTER
IN CALIFORNIA GAME
Coach Welch Will Try New Combin-
alton in Effort to Strengthen
Team-Zaepfel at Left Half

Pink McIver will draw the quar-
| terback job for the State College
Cougars in their game against Cali
fornia at Portland tomorrow, &C
cording to announcement by Coach
Gus WEIGH. Johnnie Zaepfel, who
played sensational ball in the back
field against Gonzaga and Idaho, as
| a substitute, will be started at left
half and Jenne will go into the game
at right half, with Moran at full
back, The line will be identical with
| that which started against Idaho.
with Hanley and Bohannon playing
end positions, Dunton and Hamilton
tackles Mckay and Durrwachter
guards and Captain Dunlap center.
Verne Hickey, who has been play
ing behind the line throughout the
season, is being groomed for an end
job and will likely get a chance at
that position in the California game.
Hickey carries 175 pounds of weight,
is fast, shifty and heady, and meets
every demand of Coach WEIGH for
an end who has the weight and speed
to meet the California offense.
Paired with George Bohannon, who
weighs $50 pounds, Hickey looks
like a find for an end position.
Coach Welch took two full teams
to Portland, leaving last night
Aside from the men named in the
probable lineup, the following will
make the trip:
Hickey, Jams, Hoffman, Kramer,
Davis, Meeker, Loomis, Skadan,
Winans, Sax and Sandberg.
The squad will be in charge Of
Coach WEIGH, Assistant Coach Apple
quist and Athletic Director Boiler
While Coach Welch is not making
any predictions of victory over Cali
there is a general feeling locally that
the Cougars are going to redeem
the defeat Of last year. The team
has not been forced to uncover" it's
full repertoire of plays in any of the
| games played thus far, and local
fans predict something new in the
line of ground gaining formations
when the two teams clash on Multi

o. A. washington "a to 0 fracas
last Saturday, said:
THE Aggie eleven looked good
but will fall when it meets Washing
ton State College, which eleven to-
day looks like the logical Northwest
champion"
Commenting on Coach Bagshaw's
/ assertion the Seattle Times of Mon
! day had the following to say:
THE Aggie eleven, outweighing
Washington as it did 81 pounds to
the man, looked like a high-class
eleven, declares Bagshaw, heing at
least IA points better than Washing
ton. better even than Bagshaw has
hopes of his present team being this
year.
but when the Aggies get up
against Washington State they are
going to find the going much tougher
and the Sun Dodger coach expects
Washington State to walk off with
the Northwest and possibly the Coast
championship.

REFUSE TO SURRENDER RELIC
Citizens Of Little French Town Of
Alan Offer Lives In Defense
of Stone Cow.

The famous stone COW of Alan, a
little town In the Haute Garonne,
France, Is again the center of a fight
between the peasants of the village
and the Ministry des Beaux Arts in
Paris. Twice the ministry has sold
the cow, which dates back to the fif-
teenth century, and each time the
villagers have fought with pitchforks
and clubs all attempts to remove 1t
from the front of the Episcopal pal
ace.
After the war a Paris antique deal
er, knowing the history Of the stone
COW, persuaded the Ministry des
Beaux Arts to sell It to him. Once be-
fore they sold the COW, but all the
gendarmes that they could center on
Alan failed to get the monument. The
purchaser asserts that he will remove
It and place it In front of a Partisan
mansion. The peasants of Alan have
again armed, and this time with mod
ern weapons, for little of the old vii
lage Is left from the shells of the Ger
mans, and they intend to protect their
relic. There is little left OF the Epis-
copal palace, before which the cow
stands, but not shell hit the COW
during the war.

keep their doors well chained. Pro

which are partly black, to occur in
practically all strains Of this variety,
but this is not sign Of impure breed
ing. Black spots are also common
occurrences on the shanks, particularly
In females, but this does not indicate
impurity. There Is decided tendency
for the males Of this variety to come
lighter In color than the females, and
for this reason breeders are usually
obliged to resort to two separate mat
ings, one for the production Of males
Of standard color and the other for
the production Of females Of standard
color. The system Of double mating,
Of course, complexities the problem of
producing high-class Barred Plymouth
Rocks
In mating for males Of exhibition
color a male of about standard color
is used with medium dark females, OF
those two or three shades darker
than females Of exhibition color, In
which the barring Is as distinct ana
as narrow as possible. This mating Is
known as the cockerel mating because
It produces a greater percentage OF
standard-colored males, while the
females produced are too dark, but
are suitable for continuing this line
Of breeding. In mating for females
Of standard color, females of about the
desired color are used with medium
light male or one that is two or three
shades lighter than standard and with
good barring. This Is known as the
pullet mating, because 1t produces a
greater percentage Of females Of the
proper color, while the males are too
light but good for carrying on this line
Of breeding.
Those who produce standard Barred
Plymouth Rocks, therefore, must have
what amounts to two separate fiocks
in order to keep their exhibition birds
uniform. The average farmer however,
does not usually exhibit or sell breed
ing stock and will still continue to
make single mating as he has always
done.
