The Twin Falls high school boys re-
inforced by Prof. Faulkner and Paul
Oldham, played the College of Idaho
on the local field yesterday, and aside
from when the forward pass result
ed in loss a large percentage of the
time were the equals of the visitors
from Caldwell. The kicking of the
Caldwell full back was the feature of
the game and netted the visitors heavy
yardage besides several times saving
them from threatened touchdowns.
His kicking of a field goal in the first
quarter and of two very difficult
goals place him in class beyond
high school bootists
Caldwell kicked off and the ball was
down on the Twin Falls thirty-yard
line where Twin Falls lost the ball by
forward pass going out of bounds.
Here the sensation of the game was
pulled off with Caldwell making
pretty field goal, the ball sailing
straight between the bars, giving the
visitors the first score of the game,
three points.
Twin Falls then kicked off and the
ball, under Oldham's heavy boot, made
a beautiful goal. Caldwell kicked out
and regained ball by tumble, but lost
again by failure to make yardage.
Twin Falls was penalized on incom-
pleted pass and failing to gain around
end, was forced to kick. The college
of Idaho, without attempting any
plays, kicked, sending the ball into
Twin Falls territory. Twin Falls again
began to eat up the distance between
them and the coveted Caldwell goal
line. Here again a tumble lost the
ball, but Caldwell used the full backs
leg power to again place their goal
out of danger and Twin Falls began
its bucks and plays toward the goal.
Caldwell regained ball on downs and
kicked. Oldham on criscross nearly
got away with the ball and reached
Caldwell's 20-yard line. Girdner made
another gain but the ball went to Cald-
well as the result of a penalty for in
completed pass Caldwell kicked Twin
Falls made heavy yardage on for
ward pass and line bucks. Off-side
play by Caldwell penalties them to
the five yard line. Two line bucks by
Twin Falls were blocked and only
good generalship gave Twin Falls it's
only touch down of the game. A line
plunge Of Faulkner caught the visitors
unawares and the ball was over the
line when the scrimmage was implied.
Girdner kicked goal. Score 6-3 in fav-
or of Twin Falls.
The second quarter was devoted to
small gains by each side with Cald-
well kicking repeatedly and Twin
Falls grimly tackling the line for
gains with several brilliantly executed
forward passes.
At the beginning of the second half
the ball kicked off by Caldwell was
carried back to the Twin Falls forty
yard line, when thirty yards was gain
ed by passes and line bucks only to be
lost on a tumble Caldwell tried the
line but failed and as the last resort a
fake kick allowed Caldwell to make
heavy gain. A criscross netted gain
but the ball went to Twin Falls on
downs. Twin Falls kicked and Cald-
well returned the compliment the ball
being downed on Twin Falls twenty
five yard line. Here an attempt of
Oldham was delayed by his tumble and
the ball blocked. bounding across
the goal line with a college chap on
top of 1t. Caldwell kicked goal, max
ing score total of 9 to 6.
The last quarter found Twin Falls
struggling desperately to make an
other touch down with fairly good sue
cess, only to have Caldwell end grab
the ball on triple pass and with q
clear field made another touch down
and end Twin Falls chances to win
the game. In the last few minutes OF
play Twin Falls showed some remark
ably fast foot ball In. its attempt to
cross the Caldwell goal line and the
play was in the latter's territory all of
the time Forward passes and cris-
crosses brought the ball to Caldwell's
! twenty-yard line, when Costello se-
cured the ball on a dandy forward
pass, sprinted to the Caldwell goal
line only to trip over fence wire at the
corner and lose the ball. Caldwell
kicked out and Twin Falls again start
ed the procession toward their goal
and had the ball on the five yard line.
Line bucks were blocked and the dead
ly forward pass lost enough to give
the visitors breathing spell until
time was called for the end of the
game.
