OUTCLASSED
BY IDAHO
TEAM
BY A SCORE OF % TO 6 VISITORS
TOOK YESTERDAY AFTER
THE HONORS WE'RE EVEN.

Occur d'Alene high school came to
Wenatchee yesterday with the scalps
of the Spokane high school, Lewiston
high and Hillyard high hanging in
their belt anj proceeded to do some
more scalping on the football field
with the home team by score Of %
to 0-but not until they had re-
ceived the biggest scare of the sea-
son.
The majority of the crowd out to
see the game was aware of the fact
that the visitors had won laurels
from bigger high schools and victory
seemed far, far away While prac-
ticing before the game Occur d'Alene
showed that she understood the
game The throwing and catching Of
the ball was a revelation. 1t seemed
a shame for them to take the money.
The game started Off about $3.50
in the afternoon with the visitors
kicking off to Wenatchee. The crowd
was astonished to see the Wenatchee
boys take the ball and march rapid
ly towards Occur d'Alene's goal.
Foster was invincible. He circled the
ends and went through the line like
demon. "Guckenheimer" strewed
the field with those who dared to
interfere. Hope, smothered by the
thoughts of former games, sprung
from the breasts of the followers of
the Red Apple eleven, and thous-
and voices helped the local squad to
get the first touchdown in about
minutes of play The goal was safe
/ ly kicked and Occur d'Alene saw
vision of defeat staring them in the
| face ,-.t.-...
The ball went to the center of the
| field again and the boys from Idaho
had their "dander up" With an
alertness and precision very notice
able to the crowd one play after an
other brought them nearer to We
natchee goal and they finally got the
ball over and kicked goal. Thus the
first half ended with the score to
/ 6. Many thought the second half
would be an even struggle. After
ten minutes respite. the two teams
again faced each other and the
crowd was treated to one of the best
exhibitions of trained football they
have seen this year
The Idaho boys reeled off one play
after another. Thompson, the feet
footed end for the visitors, soon got
the ball and with clear field planted
| the ball safely behind the Wenatchee
goal.
| Three times this boy wonder ac-
complished the same feat. He won
, the plaudits of the crowd by his
beautiful work. The Wenatchee boys
with might and main struggled
against the we'll oiled machine but
1t was easy to see that they were
nonplussed at the plays sprung upon
them. They were not to be blamed.
they simply hadn't been taught how.
They deserve the greatest credit of
the two teams for they played
against the greatest odds. The time
has come in football when science
outclasses weight by far, and weight
was all they had to depend upon.
Foster, Koehler, Harter and Garland
played great football
For Occur d'Alene every man
played his position well. The ends
were wonders. A match between
them and Everett would be worth
going to see.
The game was clean and no one
was seriously hurt In fact every
game played On the local field has
been credit to the great game of
football. Rowdyism has been not
able for its absence.
DR.. Haskell. who refereed the
game yesterday, was treated with ut
most respect by both teams and no
one wrangled with him over his de-
cisions.
!, 1t is hoped the Idaho boys will
come again for they are gentlemen
and deserve to be treated as such.
