HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
SQUAD SHOWS UP GOOD

Alter two weeks practice the local
football squad played the College of
Idaho practice game the last week
OF September with the result that
neither side scored. The College
squad had a decided advantage in the
matter Of weight but were in no form
TO play owing to the fact that they
| had only been together for three OF
four evenings practice. On the other
hand the high school team showed up
well against the weighty collegian
aggregation in view of the fact that
the high school squad was very large
" new organization. The practice
game served to help both coaches to
size up their men and thereby en-
abled them to develop their weak
points An dthis was the real OBJ
ject OF the game Two weeks later
when the high school and College
squads met again. the game resulted
in score Of 10 to 0 in favor OF the
College. Both teams showed marked
improvement but the advantage was
in favor of the heavier team
The High School next met the Wei
ser High School squad on the Wei
ser gridiron. Weiser has had, for the
past four years, mighty team for
school OF its size and it seemed that
the game should naturally go to them.
The local team, however, would have
defeated the eWiser aggregation had
the played strictly school team.
With addition. to the Weiser team.
OF four men of much experience and
weight, the odds were against the
Caldwell boys. The game closed with |
a score OF IA to u in favor OF Wei |
ser In the first half of the game. the |
home team out-classed the Weiser |
team in every department of playing.
Inc halt closed with score OF 7 to 0 |
in favor OF Caldwell.
The second half turned the tide in
Weiser's favor, however. The Weiser I
team began to succeed in getting
around one OF Caldwell's ends. The |
weight and experience of Weiser's |
back tleld began to tell in their favor |
The coach reports, however, that the L
Caldwell boys played real football i
until the last whistle blew, and though Il
the score was against the bows, he Il
ielt fairly well satisfied with their
work. This game was not one Of the
league series. The Caldwell bows are
scheduled to play Weiser again Nov
IA, at Caldwell.
Last Saturday the local squad met
the Payette team at Payette In the
7rst few minutes OF play the home
team made a touchdown and scored Il
a. goal kick The Caldwell line was
almost impregable to the Payette
team, the locals holding Payette for
towns repeatedly. On straight foot
ball Caldwell plowed down the field
rom her 2O-yd line and Turner plant
ed the ball behind the goal line The
