The following 1021 football, basket ball, track, baseball and wrestling
schedules lor Washington State College were announced by Physical Di
rector .1. P. Bohler ami Dean 11. V. Carpenter yesterday upon their return
from a meeting of the Pacific Coast conference representatives at Berke
ley, Calif.:
Washington state Footbnl SCHEDULE

OCTOBER 16—EITHER GONZAGA OR MONTANA AT SPOKANE (yet

OCTOBER 22—IDAHO UNIVERSITY Al PULLMAN (tentative).
NOVEMBER 5— HOMECOMING -STANFORD U. AT PULLMAN
NOVEMBER 11— ARMISTICE DAY— <>. A. C. AT CORVALLIS
NOVEMBER 24—THANKSGIVING DAY UNIVERSITY OF WASH
INGTON AT SEATTLE.
The difficulties between the two Washington schools which prevented
their meeting this year on the football field have been settled and the
annual W. S. C.-U. of W. game will be played on Thanksgiving day at Se
attle in the new university stadium. This is the word brought back by
Doc Bohler on his return yesterday from the meeting of the representatives
of the Pacific Coast conference schools, which was held at Berkeley, Calif.,
last week to map out the athletic schedule of the conference for the year
1921.
The big game of the Cougar schedule will be played in Pullman Novem
ber ■". on Homecoming day. against the Stanford Cardinals. The other
Coast conference game is scheduled for Armistice day at Corvallis, Ore.,
against the O. A. C. Beavers.
October 22 was reserved for the annual Idaho-Washington State game.
Tentative plans for the scheduling of the game at Pullman on that date
have been made.
Considerable difficulty was met with in arranging a schedule which
would be agreeable to all the schools concerned, but after two days of dis
cussion an agreement was finally reached. The California schools came
to the conference strongly favoring a four-game schedule, while the north
ern schools opposed this and favored a three-game schedule. The Wash
ington and Oregon schools contended that an undue hardship would be
Worked on them by a four-game schedule in that they would be compelled
to make the long trip to Berkeley, Calif., every season instead of in alter
nate years with the three-game schedule. Washington State has made the
hard trip to Berkeley twice in succession and would have been forced to
make the trip again had the schedule fostered by the California schools
been put through, 'Ihe University of Oregon has also made the southern
trip the last two years to play Stanford and took the same stand as the
Washington State representatives, Doc Bohler and Dean Carpenter.
The petition of the University of Southern California to be admitted to
the Pacific Coast conference was denied because of the great distance of
the southern school from the northern members of the conference. In the
refusal of the petition it was recommended that the California schools
form a conference similar to the Northwest conference of the Washington,
Oregon and Mom. institutions.
Doc Bohler and Mr. Nichols, graduate manager of the University of
Southern California, were appointed as a committee of two to work out
a gridiron schedule for the next six years for the purpose of evenly dis
tributing the long trips to and from the south among the various schools
of tie- conference without working a special hardship on any one eleven
by compelling it to make the trip more than once in two years.

] On Tuesday afternoon Jerome
Shaffer talked to the high school stu
dents. His subject was "Jazz." Mr.
Shaffer is one of America's foremost
entertainers and his programs are
beneficial as well as entertaining.
His description of a "jazz girl" was
very amusing, to say the least, ami
his definition of "jazz" music was
very accurate.
