Enthusiasm and College Spirit
Set on Fire by Our
Teams Work

In the most intensely interesting
game ever played on the w. S. C.
gridiron, the State College decisevely
defeated the University of Idaho by
score of 100, yesterday afternoon.
Fifteen hundred wildly enthusiastic
rooters tore their vocal cords in cheer
ing the team to victory. Moscow S
roofing aggregation was small; only
$50 Idaho supporters came over on
the special. The bunch that did come
were loyal and consistent in their
work, but the overwhelmingly super
ior Pullman crowd drowned their
efforts in thunderous responses.
The Idaho team was the first to ap-
pear, and as the men came down the
road on the way to the dressing rooms
under the grand stand, they were ac-
corded rousing Rah Rah! Rah
from the Pullman bleachers. The
college squad followed closely, and
as they turned down to the field the
prettiest sight seen on the side lines
in any game was witnessed As the
band was playing a stirring march,
and the hundreds of pennants were
waving in unison, the defenders of the
crimson and gray came on the field
strung out in single file. 1t was a
sight that will linger in the minds of
those who saw the game.
The game was called promptly at
3:15, and from the kickoff through
out the entire first half the play was
in Idaho's territory Only once did
the ball get on w. S. C. ground, and
then for only short time.
Idaho showed defense that was
weaker than was expected. In the
second play Idaho fumbled and then
Pullman rooters turned loose. By a
series of magnificent line bucks and
end runs the college carried the ball
to the visitors 10 yard line. Hahn
tried a place kick, but failed, the
ball going feet to one side. Idaho s
kick-out from the 25 yard line brought
the action again near the center of
the field, but on her own ground. The
w. S. C. eleven settled into their
work like veterans and it soon be-
came evident that "Pink" Griffith s
bunch had struck a snag when they
bucked the team work of Bender s
men.
Play as they would and as hard as
they could Idaho failed continually to
make consistent gains. Punting was
her last resort and in this Keyes did
good work. Halm's first two punts
were short and high but when he once
caught his gait he drove the pigskin
down the field for good gains.
Miner and Goldsworthy, ends, were
fast in getting down the field, tackl-
ing in great style. The ends were
not the only ones to get down quickly
on a punt; Nissen and Cave were
there in the sprints, as were Mont
gomery, Miller and Bryan.
Idaho's backs, Armstrong and
Small, were speedy and went through
the broken field on punts, tackling
fast and sure. Stein at center was
no match for Shorty" Stewart; and
by the way.se" Shorty" played the
game of his life. Savage and Arm
strong at ends were not as quick on
their feet or as fast and sure in going
down the field as Miner and "Goldy. "
Larsen, Small and Curtis played the
strongest game for Idaho.
The stars in the home team were
many. Every man played the game
and eleven men were in each play.
Stewart at center glorified himself In
spectacular work. Hartzuck piled
into the line as Hardy used to do; and
