Twin Falls Girls Prove Supreme -
Basket Ball Game Winning by 5core
of "a to 4.

The first game of football on the To-
cal grounds this season was played at
the ball park last Saturday and was
witnessed by large and enthusiastic
crowd. Pocatello high school with a
number of old players on it's team, put
up strong game, and with the excep-
tion OF one or two times during the
game, had little difficulty in making
long gains. The forward pass, which
is purely experimental this yehr,
proved to be an easy way out or a
tight place several times during the
game for the visitors, while the local
boys seemed to be poorly drilled in
that feature.
From the very start until the BALI
was carried over within ten minutes,
from the beginning of the first half,
POcatello, by end runs, was able to
rush the ball down the field despite
the efforts of the boys to break up the
Interference However, on the line
plays, Twin Falls was able to hold the
visitors down and force them to re-
sort to the forward pass in order to
make their gain. Twin Falls made the
first kickoff and Oldham booted the
oval far down the field toward the Po-
catellO goal. 1t was brought back to-
the center by good interference, and
pushed over for the, first touch down,
| from that time until tie last half, it
was never in the visitors territory.
Score, Pocatello S.
Pocatello kicked of and Twin Falls
brought the ball back twenty yards
and began to buck the line for gainsy
only to lose ground on slow forma-
ton end run. in which the ball was
downed back OF the line. Forced to
punt, Oldham sent the ball into the
enemy's territory, from which It was
again brought back by end runs and
the forward pass until the visitors got
their second touchdown fve minutes
before the time was called and kicked
their first goal. Score II to o.
For the rest of this half Twin Falls
| by hard work on the part OF Benoit,
Chaplin, Shields and Oldham managed
| to prevent further score, while unable
to advance the ball themselves.
| Chaplin at full-back was injured DUR
ing the first half, but still stayed with
the game.
The boys when the whistle blew for
the second half. went IMP the game
with vigor and their playing was much
improved, with the exception OF their
| tackling, which was still too high and
too easily avoided.
The second half was marked by
faster playing on both side*. and Po--
catello was able to cross th<egoal line
four times and kick goal each time,
making the score IS to O. Pocatello
made use Of the forward pess to
llarge extent, and was able 6ach time
to regain the ball on the "a The
only place where Twin Falls Seemed
to do effective work was on stopping
line plunges and here only did Twin
Falls show itself at all strong.

Falls girls simply out-classed the vis-
itors and won at will by score Of 81
