GOOD SHOWING IN
FOOT BALL

made an excellent showing in a
spirited scrimmage against the Col
lege of Idaho eleven Tuesday even
ing, and Coach Houghton predicts
that the season will bring forth an
other championship team for the high |
school this year.
The entire squad is made up of new
timber but the boys have been work
ing hard until they have developed un-
usual speed and accuracy for high |
school eleven. They are beginning to |
handle the forward pass like veterans,
and in the open style of play they are
are bound to offer style of game that
will be especially pleasing to the foot
ball fans. Coach Houghton predicts
that this first game of the season will
bring out some latent stars that the
public knows nothing of, and that the
usual shake up that follows the first
game will present an eleven that VII!
offer formidable front to any team
in southern Idaho.
Captain Elected.

early this week Joe Ewing was chosen
as captain of the team. 1t is generally
considered that the boys made an ex-
cellent choice in their captain as Joe
has had more actual first team ex-
perience than any other member who
has been in regular attendance at Cald-
we'll high school, Whist Wilson was
elected manager.
