UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO PLAYS
TIE GAME WITH GONzACA

The S. A. T c. football team of the
University of Idaho, which defeated the
team from Gonzaga college, Spokane,
here last week, was held to a tie game
by the same team at Spokane Saturday.
The game was played so late in the aft
ernoon that The StarMirror could not
get report of it before going to press
Saturday afternoon. The Spokesman
Review has the following report of the
game:
The Gonzaga university and Universi-
ty of Idaho S. A. 7. c. football teams
battled 90 minues to a 7-to-7 tie yes
terday afternoon at the Gonzaga stad-
ium, the teams being just as evenly
matched as the score indicates.
Like every previous game between
the two rivals the contest was hard
fought from start to finish The fierce
tackling of both teams necessitated time
being taken out every few minutes, but
despite the delays the game was. played
in a little more than an hour and a
half
Gonzaga got away in front after five
minutes of play in the first period, when
Pecarovich blocked punt and gather
ing up the ball sprinted IS yards for
touchdown Needles lost little time in
kicking goal, making the score 7 to g.
Tied in Third Quarter.
1t was not until the third quarter
| that the Idahoans were able to tie the
count Several exchanges of punts in
which Lieutenant Meehan of Idaho out
distanced his Gonzaga opponent and an
| intercepted forward pass put the Mus
covites within the 25-yard line From
there Irving, a substitute back, tore off
13-yard gain for a first down He
all but repeated on the next play and
then Charity bored through for five
yards and a touchdown Brigham kicked
the goal, the ball going squarely be-
tween the posts
Spokane fans have had the pleasure
of seeing few lnesmen the equal of
Perrine, the Idaho left tackle He was
large part of both the visitors Of
fense and defense. He tore holes in
the Gonzaga line through which his
backs gained many yards and time after
Kline foiled the efforts of the Spokane
boys to gain. Every play aimed at his
position was total failure and more
than once he broke through and spilled
plays before they were faily started.
Perrine a Sensation.
In the third quarter he saved Idaho
from almost certain defeat when the
ball on the Idaho 1S-yard line in Con
zaga's possession he broke through and
threw Booker for five-yard loss Con
zaga was playing we'll when Perriue
made his sensational tackle and he stop
ped a rally that would likely have re-

Aside from Perrine Lieutenant Mech
an was power at right end for Idaho
and his punting was high class. Idaho
probably gained more through exchanges
of punts than by any other method
Meelan's spirals nearly always being
from 10 to IS yards longer than those
of Needles, the Gonzaga fullback:
Idahos Best Bet.
Irving was Idaho's best bet in the
backfield, although he did not put in
an appearance until the second half
He is built close to the ground, has
plenty of poundage and speed and runs
low and hard. Irving played in Spo-
kane last season when the Idaho fresh
men came here for a game and if he
improves during the next year as much
as he has during the last he will be a
star of the first water.
Gonzaga showed the effect of more
coaching than the visitors and at times
displayed an attack that threatened to
overwhelm the Muscovites Coach
Mullin has developed good line of plays
and with another weeks practice the
Gonzagans will be stiff opposition for
Washington State callege They fought
with their usual spirit The left side
of the line, where McKernan was sta
toned, was invulnerable to the Idaho at
tack McKernan and Pecarvich working
together, stopped short many a play
aimed at the Gonzaga line and the yard
age gained through them was negligible.
Donahue, right end for Gonzaga, was
on his toes all the time and tackled
hard and well, as did Crumley at right
tackle
Forward Pass 35 Yards.
During the first half neither team
resorted to open play, but with the
score tied in the third period Con
zaga started to pass, Riley taking
well-directed heave from Needles and
racing IS yards before he was downed.
Idaho's passes all went wild.
In the last period Logan, who sub

A crowd of about 1000 witnessed the

With their yells, several of which were
