Oregon Normal-Whitworth Whitworth's Home-coming football game with Oregon Normal was very disastrous as far as the score goes: Whitworth lost 19 to O. As Norman Richardson, star guard, was operated on for appendicitis iust two days before the game, the morale of the team was deeply touched. Fighting hard to Win for Rich against much larger players, the Pirates gave all they could, but this wasn't enough. Oregon Normal had two backfield stars, Vinson and Densby, who dominated all the playing for the Oregon team. C-,,,.,,f,.f3'. , UH 0141! 'qfrffacq JW AMM4 M! ,gafnwi

W'l'1it- worth withstood all of C'heney's power for the first half, but later gave ground to the more experienced Savage line-up. The Pirate team was hard hit by the loss ot Charles Frazier, who had been hurt in scrimmage earlier in the week, and by the loss oi Bill Pond early in the game. ln the backtield, Mooers and Pond were out- standing, and the Richardson twins did ex- cellent Work in the line.

Whitman-Whitworth Whitworth's 1936 football team rose to great heights when it held the strong Whitman College team scoreless for three quarters, only to weaken under the torrid heat in the final quarter. Norman and Leonard Richardson played great ball, as did lohnson and Warrick. Mooers and Al- lison starred in the backfield. Although the final score was 20 to O in Whitman's favor, this game brought new hope to the Whitworth team as a Whole, and the spirit was high for winning on Home-coming Day.
