4 p. m. today.
just as the Washington players
left their home campus at Pull
man, Wash, with a bare hundred
out to wish them well, they pulled
into Pasadena and staged their first
workout before a few casual on
lockers at Tournament park.

Because of the criticism CT our
team and the lack of support given
us by the west, my players will
Guido themselves to exceed the
fondest hopes Of our few staunch
supporters said Hollingbery. They
They have made us underdogs.
THAT suits me and my players.
We are down here to play a football

There are many colorful stars in
the Washington State ranks, in
Guiding Hollingberry, the coach, who
never went to college; Buck Bal

Helm, the chess-minded center;
Turk Edwards, the 235- pound
tackle; fluffy Ellingsen, who can
kick quicker than any man on the
coast; Elmer (the greaD Schwartz,
