This schedule will put the boys up
against the best teams in Eastern
Oregon and southeastern Washing
ton, and gives them a game for prac
tically every week. The Athena quin
tet, which will be met on their own
floor on Friday night, will probably
prove to be a tough proposition for
the locals, because it will be the first
game of the season, but Coach Fen
dall is confident of the score being
in Pendleton's favor.

Pi-nia fnr wistirn athletics come
grudgingly from the east. Yet H. C.
Hamilton, sport writer at mew iur
for the United Press, whose articles

finds something good has really come
out of the west, under a iew iorit
date line he writes:
Wnw Ynrlt. Dec. 20. While the
University of Pittsburg, Colgate,
Brown, the Army and several omer
football teams are having hot dis
cussions in the east regarding who's
who in the football world, way out
west in the state of Washington,
tiiora'E n frtrtthnll tpm which is dis
creetly keeping still and resting
meanwhile on tne glorious recoru ui
not having lost a football game in the
last nine years. While the football
laurels are being passed around it
certainly would be the proper thing
to hand a leaf or two to Coach Gil
mour Dobie and his University of
Washington eleven.
The record at Washington all goes
to Dome s creuit. inero isni u soli
tary western football fan wants to
take an iota of credit frcm Dobie and
there isn't a one who believes the
team and not Dobie is responsible for
the record.
Washington has not stacked up
against the heavy, well coached elev
ens of the east, but Dobie's men have
defeated the best on the Pacific
coast and in the mountain states ev
ery year, some of them twice in a
season. TlVat is worth something,
when it is considered that the Ore-
rtr A rrnrina wpm imnemllv ilCCCftted
as one of the country's strongest
elevens a couple of years ago.
Dobie has coached football for 12
yenrs without a defeat. His teams
have scored 1G(2 points against 111
scored by opponents. Since 1908,
when Dobie went to the University of
Washington his teams have rolled up
1245 points against 100 by their ad
versaries. Washington has played 44
regularly scheduled games in that pe
riod, winning 42 and playing score
less ties with Oregon Agricultural
college and with Oregon university.
Dobie's record stand as the most
imposing in American football rec
ords. Jt would do the eastern elevens
credit to do homngc to such a foot
ball te-im while they rest from their
own squabbles.
At the Yale-Harvard game at New
Haven this fall the athletic manage
ment at Yale university so far for
got itself as not to send any an
nouncers to the press stand to help
newspaper men in identification of
players. This is something that is
wen ianen care oi at i-nnceton ami
Harvard and hardly is to Yale's cre
dit. The result was a badly jumbled
report of the game, which required a
great dear of time to straighten out,

Canadian Bruin Digs Himself In.
London, Dec. 1. (United Press by
Mail) When it comes to living in
dugouts on the western battle front
"Kitchener," bruin mascot of a cer
tain western Canadian battalion, is
right at home today.
Recently crimpy weather began to
announce the approach of winter.
"Kitch." as per instinct, began to show
the liovs something about the real art
of digging. Before many days he dug
himself in beyond the deepest range
of the heaviest shell. The work seemed
to create a voracious appetite and
"Kitch" heavv eyes, finally came to
the surface for a final look around.
Tlicn with a sniff he disappeared. Now
while his battalion shivers, "Kitch" is
sleeping peacefully the long winter
n onths away.
When "Kitch" awakes in the spring,
his friends may have gone far away.
Put someone will bo sure to return
and dig "Kitch" out.

legislature next month judge Hen
Lindsey s bill providing maternity
benefits and entitled "Horses' Rights
for Women". The bill, the first of
its kind in this country, provides thnt
a worKing wommi uxpeui-iii iu uy
con.e a mother may receive state aid
lor a period both before and after
maternity.
'Thousands of women and girls work
till within a few dny3 of becoming
mothers," Judge Lindsey said todny,
"und then return to wcik while still
veak. Their health v.nd often that of
their children in permanently injured.
My bill would simply provide that the
state give them tho same periods of
rest that any -vise and humane firmer
gives a horse or a cow at such a time.
"At present we tnke bettor care of
our cattle than we do of our mothers,
I believe such a bill rs 'Horses' Rights
fcr Women' would do away with this
evil. I feel that if we can get it
adopted in Colorado other states will
soon fall in lino and it will become
a national reform."
