w :. c. ENENS SCORE WITH
lDAHO--FiGHrING SPIRIT RE
SUITS IN MELL-EARNED VIC
TORY.

For the seventeenth time since
athletic relations between the Uni
yersity OF Idaho and the WASHINGTON
state College We're established 20
years ago, football teams represent
ing the two Institutions FLASHED last
Saturday, the game being played
on Rogers Field, and for the eighth
time during those II contests the
state College team emerged the win
ner, making the total count eight all,
with one game a tie The score was
a low one, three to nothing, and the
game Was thriller from start to
finish. The only score of the game
came about the middle of the second
quarter, after Smith. playing LETT
half for the Crimson and Gray, had
annexed 40 yards for his team in the
prettiest and longest run of the
game, placing the ball on Idaho's To-
yard line. At this juncture Durham,
substitute quarterback and drop
kicker was sent in to replace Ber-
nard, with instructions to kick. One
play placed the bah in line with the
goal posts and Durham dropped
back to the 15-yard line and sent the
ball squarely between the posts for
what proved w. S. C.'s winning
count
From that time on W. S. c. played
safe game, being content with a
narrow margin Of victory, and took
no chances on losing the ball on for
ward passes or other open plays.
Idaho stroye heroicaIly to get within
striking distance of the w. 5. c. goal
posts, but the sterling defense of
/ Beuder's crew had them baffled at
every stage Of the game, and they
were unable to make yardage at
critical times
W. S. c. had clearly the best of
the argument from every angle, and
with the big hospital squad in good
shape and in the game would be an
easy two to one fayorite over Crit
/ fith's team on the showing made
/ Saturday. Four holes in Bender
team were plugged with substitutes,
! but every one of these substitutes
played his opponent to standstilI
1t was the fighting spirit with
which the men are possessed this
year as never before that won the
game for W. S. C. despite the an
senCe of these four regulars, and it
/ is this same fighting spirit that will
/ give Coach Dobie of the University
/ of Washington the biggest worry of
| his life in the Thanksgiving game at
/ Seattle. Every man was in every
play and to pick individual stars
would be an imposition upon those
men whose names might not be men
! toned. From end to end of the line
and in the entire back field there
was not a weak spot, and the do or
die spirit brought JOY to the hearts
of the old timers who had gathered
several hundred strong to witness
the annual battle.
The punting of Fullback Dietz was
even better than that in the o. A. c.
game, his high spirals going in many
cases for better than so yards. The
/ play of the w s. C. ends was prob
ably as good as any ever seen on
Rogers field. Tyrer and Hegg were
down on every punt, with the result
| that in the big majority of cases the
/ Idaho man who caught the ball was
downed in his tracks. Bernard
played his usual sensational game at
quarter. dividing honors for long
runs with Billie" Smith, left half,
Bernard and Smith, in the back field,
with Dietz at full, make about as
speedy a combination of yardage eat
ers as could be gathered together in
/ the Northwest.
LOomis although "a new man in
| the back field, sent in at the last
minute when it was found that
Bangs would not be in the game
gave everything he had, and proved
first team material, both on offense
and defense. LOOMS is not as shifty
as Bangs, nor as strong on defense
perhaps, as Satterthwaite, but he
played the position like a veteran
and did everything he was called
upon to do In the third quarter he
tackled an opponent so hard thai
both took the count, and a few
plays later he was obliged to retire
in favor of Smith, whose position a
left half had been taken by Satter
lthwaite.
