IDAHO'S BRIGHT PROSPECT
Pullman Suffers Loss of Veterans,
While Washington Is Fortu
nate in Securing Mich
igan Tackle. ,
BY REFEREE.
Football enthusiasts in the Inland
Empire are looking forward to the
coming season with no little interest,
for there is every reason to believe
that the teams of that section will
play some high-class ball this year.
Rivalry between Idaho, Pullman and
Whitman Is intense and their annual
gridiron blruggles have attracted
widespread attention during recent
years.
Idaho won the Inland Empire cham
pionship last season by defeating both
Whitman and Pullman. The victory
over the latter team was altogether
unexpected, as Coach Bender's men had
been heralded as sure winners. Those
who saw the Idaho men when they
met Oregon on Multnomah field remem
ber how brilliantly they played and how
they surprised the Eugene collegians
With their Idaho "spread" formation.
John Middleton's skillful coaching was
responsible for Idaho's phenomenal work
with the open formations and the for
ward pass, and although his men were
lighter than most of their opponents
their defense was first-class. Idaho cer
tainly mare a fine record last year and
the critics are now speculating as to
chances for the coming season.
Idaho's Bright Prospects.
No team In the Northwest has suf
fered less than Idaho by graduation 'and
the enforcement of the Walla Walla
conference rules. Only three men
Keves. Stein and Armstrong will be
missing when Middleton calls his men
together next month. Eight veterans
and all the substitutes of last season
will be on hand.
The team will be captained by Leigh
Savidee. last year's All-Northwest end.
Savldue is the best end produced in this
part of the country, since the adoption
of the new game and Idaho expects
exeat things from him this year. With
eight veterans as a nucleus Coat... Mid
dleton ought to develop a team that will
prove a strong factor In the race for
Northwest championship honors.
One of Idaho's most important games
Is the annual contest with Oregon. As
last year's game between these Institu
tions was played on Oregon soil, this sea
son's contest will be at Moscow, and the
date agreed upon is October 30. Idaho's
team promises to be stronger than last
season's Gem State aggregation and Ore
gon will have her work cut out for her.
Pullman Loses Veterans.
Pullman's prospects for a successful
season are not as bright as- they were a
year ago. Of last season's team that
defeated St. Louis University on Christ
mas day, five of the best players will
be conspicuous by their absence. Golds-
worthy and Miller have been graduated.
while Hardy, Nissen and Miner are vic
tims of the four-year rule. The team
still has six veteran players and several

ROBERT W. FORBES, OF YALE.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Or., Aug. 22. (Special.) Robert
W. Forbes, the big Yale end who will coach Oregon this season, is
perhaps the most noted football man ever secured to coach a North
west team. His college football career began at VesIeyan University."
where he played for two seasons as guard and tackle. He afterward
entered Yale, where he played tackle in 1905 and end in 1906, being
chosen both years for the All-America eleVen.
Forbes was graduated from Yale in 1907. and last Autumn coached
the West Point football squad. He. lives at Ballard. Wash., where he
is engaged in the lumber business. He is about 30 years old. and is a
big. powerful man. weighing more than 200 pounds. Under his coach
ing, the Oregon team is expected to make an excellent record.

good substitutes, with an abundance of
good material in sight.
With such men as Wexler. Halm. Rorer.
Cave. Bryan and Cherry, the Pullmanltes
have a strong bunch of veterans as a
nucleus for their team. The question of
Rader's eligibility has been raised by
some of the rivals of Washington State
College, but it seems that his faculty
athletic committee will allow him to
compete. Rader has played five years or
football, although during three of these
years he was a preparatory student. He
first played on Puget Sound University,
during the season of 1903. He then went
to Willamette University, where he
played 'during the seasons of 1004, 1906
and 1906. He was not a student of college
rank until the last-mentioned year, and
as he entered the sophomore class at
Pullmanfi 4ie has two more years in col
i,i lTniiar a strict construction of the
I fnnr'-vear rule. Rader will not be ellgl-
I ble to membership on the Pullman team
this year, but there is a general feeling
that the rule should be UDerany con
strued as against students whose prepar
atory work has been done in the sub
freshman department of Institutions of
college rank.
Luck for Washington.
Washington State College has been
fortunate In securing the services of
Rheinchild. Michigan's famous tackle,
who will act as head coach during the
coming season. Rheinchild is one of the

die West, and he comes to Pullman with
a splendid record behind him. He is
highly recommended by "Hurry Up"
Yost." who says that his protege has a
great head for the game.
The Whitman team will be coached
by J. Merrill Blanchard, a graduate of
Bowdoin College. There i sorrow In
the camp of the Sons of Marcus be
cause it has been officially announced
that Captain Walter Brubaker will not
return to college. Brubaker recently
tendered his resignation as captain,
hut his successor cannot be selected
until college opens. Whitman has also
lost number of good men by gradua
tion and the Northwest Conference
rules have fallen with more force on
the Missionaries than upon any other
team in the Northwest.
Four-Year Rule Havoc.
The four year rule has played havoc
with Whitman's football men, although
a construction of the rule similar to
the one in the Rader case would per
mit several of them to play one or two
additional years. Coach Blanchard will
have a few reliable veterans and a
large squad of new men from which to
select his team. Although Whitman's
prospects are not as bright as those of
Pullman and Idaho, there Is no indica
tion that the Mlseionaries will have a
weak team.
Whitman is the only Inland Empire
team that will play on Oregon soil this
season. A game has been arranged
with O. A. C, at Corvallls, Nov. 14.
The Walla Walla players will meet
Multnomah in this city. Whitman de-.
feated the local clubmen last yearns.
