Default weird electrical problem... car won't start

ok...my friends car won't start. it's a 97 ek hatch.i checked the clutch relay, checked the ignition switch...still nothing. i ran power straight from the battery to the black/white wire on the starter and nothing. i unplugged the blk/wht from the starter and still no cranking. anyone have any ideas on this? i've never seen this problem before.

if you have jumped 12v power and good ground to your starter then you might need a starter
