  WHITMAN BATTLE. SET FOR OCT. e Biggest Football Game of the Year Attracts Wide Interest. Whitman will be here Saturday, Oct. %. efforts to get the game for any other day having failed. While the date is not entirely satisfactory, the College Of Idaho football enthusiasts anticipate that the biggest crowd that ever assembled in Caldwell to watch a football game will be on deck when Cornells team, undefeated in four years under his tutelage, will bump into the biggest job they have ever tackled. 40 Efforts to get game for this week failed and the team will devote its entire time to grooming itself for the one big game. Cornell has only one worry, his line He believes that his backfield has punch and ability enough to do their share but whether the line will be aggressive and heavy enough to stop the Whitman backs is another matter, in his opinion. With the return of Murphy to the line lup after being out with injuries for some time. things are somewhat roster. Whitman has real ball team as is evidenced from the fact that last week they played the University OF Washington off their feet in the first half, outscoring them l4–⁠12. It was only when the additional poundage o. / the heavy Seattle eleven began to have its influence that Whitman clumblee under the onslaught and lost 33–⁠14 The game was played in the Seattl’ ! stadium on the University of Wash . lington’s home stamping grounds which is conceded to be considerabl advantage to the university team.
