days, when I was numbered among
your citizens,' 'he said, "Colfax and j
Moscow were considered the real I
towns of the Palouse country, and I
when we wanted anything of import- |
anco we went to one or the other of j
these places. Today you have out
stripped them both, and have taken
your rank as one of the best Im- \
proved, most aggressive towns in the
Inland Empire. I have taken much
pride in watching that great devel
opment and congratulate you upon
the spirit of your citizenship."

tho end of the first half. Of
these five touchdowns, McCoy put
over three. Bradbury one and E.
Roberta one.

m account of a wrenched knee. Gan
i' ii wont in for him and played a very
creditable game throughout.

lame snap for Pullman as the first,
Bradbury went over for the firs;
ouchdown and Crow kicked goal,
I'he ball was worked rapidly Into
.i wiston territory again and McCoy
Look It, over on an end run, Crow
ticking goal. Bradbury soon went
iver for another, making the score
.2 to 0.
The Lewiston team showed one
eal flash at the end of this quarter,
'.lien Kelly, their midget end, con
lected with a 25-yard pass from the
.ewiston quarter.
The local team slowed up some
.hat in the fourth quarter, receiving
'requent penalties for offside play
nd Illegal interference. Schroder
vent in again for McCoy, as the lat
er had been badly pounded.

uccessful 25-yard passes, Bradbury
o McCarthy and Schroder to Reese.
