Varnel!'s assistants will not be named until later in the season. WHITMAN MAY BE SURPRISE Washington's first 1920 grid game will be with Whitman, a week after the opening of school. This means that the team that faces Whitman will not be the best squad that Washington will have in the field this season because several of the regulars will not be out until school starts, October 1, and nine days or so aren't enough to round the men into condition. NO SCRIMMAGE UNTIL NEXT WEEK Coach Allison has announced that there will be no scrimmage on Den- ny field until next week, because | the men aren't In condition, to stand the rough going yet. He will con. tinue with the instruction on the rudiments of the game until the men are in better shape. The first team squad will be picked at the | same time. WHITMAN WILL BE STRON THIS YEAR Last season Washington walked on Whitman by an overwhelming Jcount, that ran over 100 points, But Whitman had one of the green lest teams that the missionary |school has ever turned out.
