Westerners Trim Wendell
Phillips High School in
Football Match, 60.

Boise. Idaho, Dec. 26.-Wende1l Phil
lips high school football team of Chi
cago lost the first of its three games to
the local high school eleven, to 0. The
score came in the third quarter, when
a Boise half back raced forty yards on
a forward pass for a touchdown. The
decisive score was made with Pc
culiar spread formation which COM
pletely baff1ed the visitors.
Although outweighed nearly ten
pounds on the average, the Chicagoans
put up one of the Quickest battles
seen here in several years. The con-
test. which was witnessed by the larg-
est football crowd in local history, was
marked by clever playing on the part
OF both teams. Each eleven had sew
eral chances to score. but fumbles OF
incompleted forward passes prevented
the tallies.
Three times Wendell Phillips had the
ball the locals ave-yard line. Once
a tumble prevented a threatening
touchdown. An incompleted forward
pass checked another and the third
time Boise held. Official ruling on sew
