catello for the championship of

It was one of the most fiercely
fought, and interesting games ever
played on Pocatello gridiron. Both
teams being evenly matched In

gameness and science, Blackfoot
proving surprises in both. The play

This ended the first quarter. The
second quarter opened with the ball
on Pocate.lo's 40 yard line. The
game now seemed to be to decide
who was the stronger of the two. The
ball swayed back and forth past the
center of the field, but a majority OF
the time being in Pocatello territory.
During this quarter Taylor was taken
out for injuries.
The second half opened with
Blackfoot punting to Pocatello. Ball
was returned to center of field by Po-
catello, B.ackfoot gaining possession
of the ball and commenced steady
march down the field toward Poca-
tello's goal. When within yards of
their goal line, with two downs to
make it in, Parkinson, Blackfoot's
full back, was put out of the game
for smuggling. Pocatello's, back field
had continually been smuggling him
and trying to put hi mout Of the
game, but he had managed to keep
his temper until 1t became unbeara-
BILE, when he proceeded to even
matters. Pecatello knew that If he
we're put out it would increase their
chances fifty per cent.
Pocatello was given possession OF
the ball and Blackfoot pena,ized. 20
yards, thus giving the ball to Poca-
tello on their % yard line. BY
punting the ball their goal was
placed out of danger. With the
Blackfoot team all dearranged, slim
ulated by their weakness, they COM
menced again steady march toward
the Pocatello goal. A score was on
ly checked by Pocatello punting out
of danger. At this point the game
became as holly contested as game
could possibly become. Both teams
were continually punting the ba | out
of danger.
During this quarter, despite the
condition of the Blackfoot team, the
ball was almost entirely in Pocatel'o
territory. On account of darkness
however. the game was in doubt until
the blow of the last whistle, 1t be-
ing almost Impossible to distinguish
the man running with the ball. The
NAV ended with neither team making
