The local high school played an ex-

Moscow, Saturday afternoon, and
were defeated by a score of % to 0.
1t was Skidoo for our team from the
start for the other team had the ad
vantage of % pounds more weight to
the man, and also of better coaching.
One thing the Occur d'Alene boys
did. was TO open the eyes Of the Yer
sitites, and set them back not a lit
tie when they held them down three
times, and then did not score in the
second half with ave new men in the
game, while our boys we're called up
on to play until the last Bit Of ener-
gy was used.
In the first half of the game the
high school team appeared to be
frightened and the home team fooled
them no few times with trick plays.
They also took advantage Of the new
rules, and used the forward pass with
good results. The following il what
Superintendent Barton thinks OF our
team, and of the game:

University team who expected an easy
victory. Every man on the team
made good, and ELECTED merited APP

THE senior class in the University
broke away from the rooters and took
up the Occur d'AleDe yells with
vim that could not be excelled by
our owl students. 1t was the hard
est and the cleanest football game
I have ever seen.
The game was worth much TO our
boys in opening their eyes to the true
spirit of tooth Ill. The standard of
the 'Versity boys is second TO none
in the country. Their game is Gle n.

] could not single out one man for
special mention. Every member of
the team played for all that was in
him. The 'Vasrity treatment to our
team was the most courteous ever
rendered us and has established a firm
tie of friendship between the two

ION the University team that play

trip was exceedingly pleasant to me
in many ways. At one time on the
street, representatives from my form

Idaho Falls met my boys from Occur

to meet them thus. While the Uni.
