1daho's men held the ball tightly with
two hands, and when approached by a
tackler stopped at every attempt to
tackle them. II worked to a great adj
vantage against Utahs method of try
ing TO play football by warding off a
tackler with one hand and making
yards after being hit by an opposing
tackler. which in nearly every case re-
suited in tumble.
Owing to the uncertainty of gaining
on straight football and the difficulty in
holding the ball. neither team could af-
ford TO take chances in playing straight
FOOTBALL except when they Were In their
opponents territory. AS Idaho had the
ball in Ctah's territory a greater part
OF the time, owing To luck in the two
kickoffs, Idaho naturally could take
chances on the first two downs, and did
try to play straight football. On the
other hand, Utah could not take these
chances, and its only salvation was to
kick on the first down to keep the ball
out OF its own territory Consequently
idaho tried a dozen first and second.

The unsatisfactory condition Of the
field. owing to the deep snow, on
Thanksgiving day. which made real
football impossible. has caused consid-
cradle discussion since the game as 10
which team would have won under fair
conditions. Idaho and her friends are
loud in the claim that the Gem state
has the better football team Friends
Of the university think Maddock's men
would have bested the Idaho boys. The
writer has been asked a score OF times
since the game for an opinion on the
relative strength Of the two teams UNI
der fair conditions. and has stated that
IL was his belief that Utah would have
won. and won by decisive score
II has been said that Idaho excelled
Utah im punting, idaho made two yards
or perhaps more to Ctah's one. and also
that the ball was in Utah territory
greater part OF the game. All OF this
is true, bVt il was not because Idaho
played better football. but because Ida
no was more fortunate than Utah, and
that Idaho used tactics better adapted
TO snow that would have proved her UNI
doing if pracuced in legitimate foot
ball.

soaked ball slipped from ConvilTs toe
and was downed b. Idaho in her own
possession near the center of the field.
So 1t can be seen plainly that Idaho
through luck alone. had far the better
OF the argument at the start of both
halves.
The writer believes there is no COM

and Small as far as ability is concerned.
Convill is one of the greatest kickers in

Kicked Idaho on good field On
Thanksgiving day. Small did better
work, because thu idaho boy took more
time, cleared the field and cleaned his
kicking boot before the try, and then
was content to lift the ball over the
line OF scrimmage. His short kicks did
not give the Utah hack field time, owing

Convill tried TO boot the cover of the
ball, and frequently the oval slipped
from his boot as a result. When the

Convill used tactics that would have

better judgment under conditions that
