SAN KitANCISOO, Oct. 30. — Jus
how Coach Dohie of the Universitj
of Washington feels in the matter ol
football, both with regard to himsell
and to his team, is given in the f«i
lowing interview which many considei
unique.
“Well. Dohie, what's the chance foi
a winning team this year?” he wat
asked.
“There isn t going to be any team,’
he answered Itetnemhor this was it
•1" A’o, not an., team. Just clever
tackling dummies tor Oregon anti
California to practice on, that’s all.
“I know that must sound familiar
?md I'iiiin ." lie admitted, “hut Hie fact
remains that with the exception of a
single linesman a . u.ird — I have
not a start to build a team upon or
around. TTutc ..re several reasons
why this \e;»r will he disastrous for
Washington. The above is one of
them. Again, the freshman rule hurts
us more than you can possibly imag
ine. Still again, 1 personally haven’t
tin ambition or the pep I used to have,
i ■ I 'ln: . i punch, so to speak.
Cither that or else the play
° tod:: aren't like the players
ol jeslerday; tin youthful brains of
•‘tit aren’t like the youthful
brains < >' the past. Blockheads?
I imehoa.l: No, neither blockheads
nor I'i>111• h"■ aii: just non-absorbers.
"And, then, too," in* continued, “we
e.in't 11111 * I \ win all the time. The
b‘ I oi u get it sooner or later. Na
poleon did and Judas and and Le
viticu I know what California did
last j ear \Jh a green team, and a
game that was new to them, and be
lieve me Hubert, believe me truly,
I ai-o know what they arc? going to
do this \ • ; r \nd I hope they do it,
too,’
You mean ?”
“Ju i that. 1 hope California heats
its. I would like to retire* as an tin
beaten, undefeated coach, but as thatj
cannot be, f would rather be defeated
by California than by any other team
on earth. If defeat must come let it
come at the hands of California. Those
Californians are not only real sports
men, but they are manly men. So,
knowing that I am going to get licked
this year, I rather enjoy the prospect.
Not that Washington's defeat would
do the game any good, although it
might at that, but a defeat would do
me good, and would also be a good
thing for the public. As it is now,
whenever 1 am asked to make a state
ment about the team and comply with
the request, the public instantly, away
down in its heart, calls me a liar. I
don't like that. But you can bear in
mind one thing: when we are
whipped you won't hear any wail from
Washington, and while I am coaching
at the local institution you will never
see a Washington team curl up and
<111 it.
"We are going to be defeated.”
Intercollegiate athletic competition
between Chinese students of Stanford
and California universities Is to be
instituted soon. The ten Orientals at
1 Stanford and thirty at California have
1 organized soccer, basketball and ten
! nis teams and have arranged moet
I itigs. The Stanford Chinese soccer
ites will probably have to call for Cau
casian help, as it takes eleven men to
make up a soccer team. The soccer
game will be played next month. S.
K. Klaw, Stanford, is the moving
spirit. Chinese have been known to
excel at soccer at Stanford in the
past, one Stanford team several years
ago having had a Chinese goal keeper
■mid to have been one of the b st that
ever wore the red jersey.
Efforts will be made to introduce
i the English game of Association or
j "soccer” football in Denver and among
j the colleges and universities of the
state, according to the Denver fol
lowers of the game. J. It. Taylor, pre
sident of the Colorado Association
Football League, is planning to ar
range games between a number of
organizations, including the Sacred
j Heart College of Denver and the army
men at Fort Logan. A number of |
Denver soccer teams play regularly !
on Sunday afternoons.
Followers of bootball In the Rocky
mountain region believe that inter
sectional games will become more and
more a feature of future gridiron sea
sons. Two intersectional contests al
ready have been played this season,
the University of New Mexico against
Colorado College at Colorado Springs,
and the Colorado School of Mines
against the New Mexicans at Albe
querque. Previous to this year there
was only one invasion of Rocky moun
tain territory by a New Mexico uni
versity. The game was played in
1908.
