Wally Dailey was counted upon as being a cinch for the quarterback berth, as he had played four years under Coach Bagshaw at Everett. But Abel has played such good football and, gaining experience with every game in team direction, he has practically nailed the job for the rest of the year. Abel is a triple threat man in that he can kick, pass well and run with good safety man and an able tackle. He can also fit in at a halfback backs. He shot Dailey into the Pullman game with the instructions to use the Ziel- Hall pass, and Dailey, who is a fine passer himself, engi- jneered the play that won the ‘game a few minutes later. | CALIFORNIA GAME | SATURDAY | Beattie fans will have a better line! jon the abiitty of the California Gold: | jen Bears after tomorrow's game with | iv hington State This tiff, being played at Berkeley, will bring out the (rue strength of the Mears.
