after going through an early season
in more or less mediocre fashion, they
sent the Washington Stat Couggre

strength reached great heights and
they gave the Oregon Aggies a more
severe drubbing than the 10 to o
score would indicate. Now only the
Washinatonians remain between them
and the honor of being chosen to rep
resent the West against the East at
Pasadena New Years day and all are
determined to put the Huskios out Of
the running for good and all.
