[Vision2020] Police: WSU player conscious after spat with Vandals

[Art Deco]

WSU:

"Coaches are still gathering information and we would never comment on team

What is WSU?  The Catholic Church?  Obviously serious violations of the law
occurred, I hope the police do their duty and are not influenced by WSU,
its manipulative Athletic Director and President, and that a full
accounting appears in the media.
