schools, not affiliated with the
Pacific Coast Conference, permit

This Far Western territory is no last
frontier" on the foot ball map. All the
more important VarSitieS are co-mem-
bers, with those in California, OF the
Pacific Coast Conference, the Largest
in area, though not in membership, OF
the entire country.
Six of the ten Coast Conference
teams. those of the State universities
of washington, Oregon, Idaho ana
Montana, and Of Washington state ana
Oregon State Colleges are from the
Northwest. Washington State won the

Washington's zest for vengeance is not
abated any by Oregon victories in the
last three years.
With one exception, the new season
starts with no changes in coaches OF

no squad more than Washington State,
the 1880 champion. The Cougars won
the title under circumstances unusual
in modern varsity foot ball. Their
coach, Grin E. Hollingbery, went
through the season without change
from his original starting lineup. He
used as few as IA men, and seldom
