before the next game. but when We
all assembled for the usual grllling
after the affair was over. he didn't
menion a word about the W. s. c.
game. but Immediately started after
us on the coming Oregon contest.
Instead OF going home shaking
hands with ourselves about what
we considered a victorious game, he
had us worried about what Oregon
was going 10 do 20 US.
Despite tho famous sawdust field
and despite the fact that we were In
for another licking by a team that
had been touted az a sure winner, We
came from behind and won by n
score OF 10 10 0. Three touchdowns
were scored against team that in
reality WINS a better one than ours.
Dobic came 10 tho front again and
led us 10 victory. In all the games
that have ever played ia or have
seen, have never seen such a won
derful display Of punting as IN that
game. Oregon depended on Clark,
who. In my opinion. was the second
best kicker tho Pacific coast has ever
seen, and Washington was represents
ed by Maxwell Eakins, who, in my
judgment land this Is making a very
broad statementl, was tho greatest
punter that the game has ever seen,

and far, but above all, his kicks
were never blocked. Clark was in

has never seen a pretticr exhibition
OF punting as there was on that day.
The first half ended 10 o. but be-
tween halves We were shown the
light By Dobie. and between Eakins'
marvellous kicking and the wonderful
limo bucking by Westover and
Mucklestone, we pushed over three
touchdowns and swamped them on
every play. That was sweet vic
tory for Washington. Doble felt
pretty good and after the game said
We could break training for one
night. These were his Instructions:
You fellows played n rotten game
today. and you're mighty lucky. To-
night you can each smoke once and
have good time. but any fellow who
isn't in bed at 10 o'clock will get
kicked off the squad" Can you

old Dobie.

into camp and we romped home a
winner. 80 10 0. This game showed
the real worth OF Mucklestone as a
line plunger. MUCK VIII go down IN
my memory as the greatest back
who ever wore the purple and gold.
A total OF 12S points was run up
by Washington against their oppon-
ents' is. Did we get any satisfac-
ton after what would ordinarily be
called q successful season? Not
much. These were Dobies parting
words:
you fellows were lucky this year.
Next year I hope to have a real
football team. IL can get some new
men"
