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.

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

Lewiston Nonnal-Whihworth Although outplaying and out-charging the Normal Pioneers in the Lewiston-Whit worth game, the Pirates were unable to score, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. This game really tested Whitworth's power. The Pirates gained 202 yards from scrimmage to 91 for Lewiston, and made 15 first downs to the Idaho team's four. Mooers tried a field goal in the second period, but missed by inches. Frazier, who had been unable to play during most of the season because of injuries, turned in one of the greatest games of his career. He backed up the line with a great deal of ability and plunged tor many long gains. Matheson, playing his first game, really showed up in the line, as did Wold. This game ended the Whitworth football sea- son.
