-FOUR LOTS ASSURED FOR
COMMUNITY MEMORIAL ASSN,

tivities perceptibly for a few months
and many of the pledges for the pur
chase of the four lots have been only
partially honored With the renewed
Tuesdays action of the chamber and
voluntary offers of financial assist
ances by many who had not previous
ly made pledges, the financing of
the four lots, involving approximate
ly $4,000, is assured. Several cit
liens, including Senator r. G. Nc
Croskey, DR.. j. L. Gilleland, Father
Carl Philip and others, offered to
double their initial subscriptions to
assist in putting over" the enter
prise.
The discussions on the motion to
drop two of the lots showed a general
reluctance on the part of the citizens
to accept half defeat even in the
face of conditions that would shake
the nerves of any group of men. The
four lots, it was pointed out, COM
prise the best building lots available
in the city of Pullman, centrally To-
Gated and facing on three streets in
the main business section. Two of
them, it was admitted by those who
stood pat for the entire group,
would be sufficient for a community
building, but the other two hold
great possibilities as a site for a
modern hotel or other public build
ing, and it was argued that the citi-
zens would be acting unwisely il
the passed an opportunity to secure
community ownership Of the entire
property.
Many citizens who find 1t impossi-
BILE to subscribe for full 500 share
! at the present have voiced desire
to assist with a smaller amount or
to give pledge for financial assist
ance in the future.
The new committee will solicit sub
scriptions at once to take care of
the sum now due, while future
pledges will be taken to assure pay
ment of the $4,000 balance which
runs for four years. George H..
Watt offered to underwrite the
$4,000 payment due in 1925 In case
the Community Memorial association,
which comprises all the subscribers
is unable to take care of II at that

Citizens Refuse to Accept Half De-
feat and viii Proceed With Pur-
chase of Entire Property
Renewed Interest Be-
speaks Success of
Venture

Pullman's citizens scored another
triumph Tuesday and sustained the
city's reputation for accomplish
ment of results in community enter
prises when decision was reached
to proceed with the purchase of the
entire block of four lots as originally
proposed as a site for a contemplated
community memorial building. For
several weeks the question has hung
in the balance, the result of the fl
nancial stringency and the feeling Of
apathy on the part of some citizens
toward the ultimate success of the
venture, and for a time the forfeiture
of at least two of the lots seemed
imminent. The loyalty and public
feeling of the citizenry came to the
rescue, however, and the financing
of the enterprise is assured.
After discussing, through two full
weekly meeting periods, a motion to
approve the report of a committee
which recommended that negotia-
tions for two of the four lots be
dropped, the chamber of commerce
Tuesday killed the motion and passed
another endorsing the purchase of
the entire block of lots as a site for
a community memorial building. A
committee was appointed to raise
Immediately enough money to take
care of the payments on the lots now
due and to take pledges in an amount
sufficient to complete the payments
as they become due. The expressed
sentiments of the 100 citizens who
attended the meeting indicate that
no difficulty will be encountered in
financing the enterprise and pros
poets for the realization of the hopes
OF the citizens for the construction.

memorial building, have never been

posed over a year ago.

PULLMAN CHAMPIONS
OF THREE COUNTIES
forfeiture of Game by Charleston
Gives Pullman High School Clear
Title to Regional Football
Championship

Forfeiture of the Pullman larks-
ton football game by Coach Billie"
Smith of Charleston, following
charges of playing an ineligible play
ar gives Pullman high school a clear
title to the championship of Whit
man and Asotin counties in Washing
ton and Latah county in Idaho. Fol-
living the Charleston game, which
was played November and won by
Charleston by a Is to Z score, the
fact that Charleston had played a
graduate of the school in the person
Of Wayne Chamberlin, star lineman,
athletic heads. Evidence was as
sembled and presented before Coach
Smith Of Charleston, who in a letter
to Coach Gaiser this week, admits in
eligibility of the player in question
and formally forfeits the game to
Pullman. Smith shoulders all the
blame himself and absolves the
school from fault, stating that he
will not present any defense before
the officers of the Washington high
school athletic association, of which
both schools are members.
The evidence in the case indicates
that Chamberlin, who attended
school at Penawawa before going to
Charleston, was member of the last
graduating class at the latter school,
with credits exceeding the maximum
permitted under association rules.
Coach Smith, while admitting the
ineligibility of the player, states that
he was not cognizant of the facts in
the case when the game was played
Even after the evidence had been
placed in his hands, Coach Gaiser
was reluctant to press the charges
after Pullman had lost the game, and
asked an explanation by Coach Smith
only after many followers of the
game had insisted that such action
was necessary in the interest of
clean sports in the high schools OF
the state.
With the forfeiture by Charleston
Pullman high has a clean record of
victories for the season just ended,

Opening Quarter and Put Turkey
Day Game at Seattle on Ice

The Washington State College
Cougars played the U. of w. Sum
dodgers off their feet in the opening
quarter of the turkey day game at
Seattle Thursday and won by ii to
0 score. The first touchdown came
in the first six minutes of play, when
Moran plunged over the line after a
series of line bucks and end runs had
carried the ball across the field,
with Moe Sax in the limelight. A
few minutes later a 50-yard punt by
Ford Dunton was turned into a sec
ond touchdown and the scoring was
over. Mike Moran made both touch
downs and Sax added two points to
the total by kicking both goals Sax
carried the ball 20 yards on end runs
on the first two plays by the Cou-
gars.
During the last three quarters of
the fracas the Washington line held
the Cougar backs to short gains, 80
and 81 yard gains by Wilson and
Greene of the Sundodgers assisting
materially in keeping the ball out of
dangerous territory
