WEIGH TO RETURN
AS COUGAR COACH
Signs Contract to Coach Football at
State College Next Rear-AppIe-
quist Also to Return

GustaVus A. WEIGH, for the past
three years coach of the State Col
lege football team, will return to
Pullman next year to again guide the
destinies of the Cougar eleven
Coach Welch affixed his signature
to a 1922 contract Monday evening
and the following day left for Wis
consin, where he will visit relatives
and friends for several weeks. The
contract was presented to Coach
Welch by the athletic council, with
the sanction of the college admins
tration, and carried a substantial in
crease in salary over the figures for
the season just closed. The salary
increase was entirely voluntary, be-
ing granted by the athletic council
in recognition of efficient services
rendered and loyalty to the institu-
ton. In keeping with the policy of
the institution and the desires of
Coach WEIGH himself, the contract is
for but a single year.
A factor in Coach WEIGH S decision
to return to Pullman, which came
after several weeks of indecsion, was
the petition presented by the student
body, containing the names of over
80 per cent of the students, as well
as scores of business men and fol-
lowers of he game.
Coach Welch has not yet fully de-
cided upon his activities for the next
few months, but will return to Pull
man early in September to take
charge of the 1922 Cougar squad.
Assistant Coach Applequist will
also be back on the job next year to
assist in shaping the Cougar line,
leaving the coaching staff of the past
season intact

OBJECTOR IS ABUSIVE;
MARSHAL TAKES A HAND
Mrs. j. f. Bowles Appears Before the
City Council and Objects to AL
legged Infringements on Per-
sonal Rights

Police intervention was REQUIRED
in the city council chamber Tuesday
night to quiet Mrs. j. E. Bowles and
her daughter, who are alleged to have
become abusive in their language in
protesting the action of the city faith
ers in permitting Fred Bader to at
tach a water line just north of the
city limits. Mrs. Bowles claimed that
the Bowles family owns a half inter
est in the private line, which is be-
yond the corporate limits, and en-
tered strenuous objection to permit
ting alleged infringements on her
rights. She could not prove owner
ship to the satisfaction of the coun-
Gil, and the order permitting Mr.. Ba-
der to attach to the line was allowed
to stand. The mother and daughter
were finally ordered from the coun-
Gil chamber and when the daughter
still further protested she was taken
in charge by the police, but was soon
released and permitted to go to her
home.
Application of Robert Moss, chair.
man of the city labor bureau, for per-
mission to cut some of the trees in
the city park into fire wood, thus
providing employment for idle men,
and sell the wood to pay the wages,
was referred to the committee on
parks. The members of the commit
tee will investigate the situation and
take action.
Action was deferred on a cOmmuni-
cation from Joseph l.. Ashlock in
which he asked a refund of $7.92
which he paid as a penalty for delin-
quent street assessments. Mr.. Ash
lock claimed that he failed to re-
ceive the due" notice mailed from
the office of the city treasurer and
paid the penalty on the original as
sessment under protest. The state
law provides that a penalty of five
per cent, plus six per cent interest
for one year, must be attached to all
delinquent improvement assess
ments, and City Treasurer Clark is
under instructions to carry out the
provisions of the law to the letter to
protect the interests of the city.
