Alfred Holman, star right end or the
Boise high school eleven. made the
only touchdown in the Boise Weiser
game at the High School park Satur-
day when he caught q blocked kick
late in the fourth quarter and ran five
yards. to the posts. The goal was
missed, the ball going high and to the
LETT. Boise won, to 0.
The game was a close and hard
fought affair from the start, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by large crowo
of football enthusiasts. A cold, driz-
cling rain fell internationally during
the game, but nobody cared. Coacn
Fletcner's men may play Rupert next
Saturday.
Tut Inlay, Bosses fighting little
backfield man, was perhaps the Often
sive star Of the game. Again and
again the diminutive ex-marine with
a grin smashed his way through the
line or tore around end for supstan-
tial gains. Tut is sturdy, weighing 100
pounds, and stopping him was a prob
lem the Weiser defense could not solve.
BOTH ElEvENS NERVOUS.
Captain Duncan Johnston ran the
Boise team with GOODNESS and skill ana
more tnan once brought the specta-
tors to their feet with a spectacular
run or tackle. Dud kiersteu played
good game at center, anu Dig Earl
Dechambeau repeatedly smashed his
way through the line for three, four
and Vineyard gains.
Both teams appeared nervous at the
beginning OF the game, and the first
few minutes of playing was marred by
the rankest sort OF Iumbling by both
teams. After the first half dozen
plays, however, they recovered their
self possession to large extent.
During the latter part of the first quar-
ter, after the bali had see Sawed back
and forth. Boise marched the ball to
Weiser's 20-yard line and Inlay at
tempted a field goal but the ball went
wide Boise showed a slight superior
ity during this quarter. keeping the
ball in Weiser territory most of the
time.
Boise approached the Weiser goal
again during the second quarter, and
after the red and white players had
advanced to the Weiser 24-yard line,
Earl Dechambeau went through tackle
for four yards and Inlay dove over
the line for three more. A forward
pass, INLAY to Lansdon, failed, and it
was Weiser's ball on downs. Weiser
Immediately punted, Boise recovering
the ball and running it back as far as
the Weiser 40-yard line, and finally
to the Weiser 15-yard line. Boise lost
the ball on downs, the line plungers
being thrown back for losses.
Again in the third quarter Boise,
though in a position for a touchdown,
lacked the necessary punch. The fea-
lures of this period were a forward
pass thrown by Inlay with Lansdon on
the receiving end, netting 10 yards, and
a run by Dunk Johnston around right
end which gained IL yards. The quar-
ter ended with the ball on Weiser's
20-yard line.
In the last quarter Boise worked the
ball up to Weiser's 15yard line, but
lost the ball on downs. Weiser punted,
but the ball went low and straight into
the advancing Boise players. Holman
seized the ball and went over for a
touchdown. He was downed two yards
behind the Weiser goal line, and re-
ceived an injured leg. Soon after Wal
ter Neal took his place at right end.
HOW TEAMS LINED UP.
The Boise team looked much stronger
than 1t did in the Nampa game, but
there is still plenty of room for i'm
provement. In the Nampa game Boise
tried the forward pass with disastrous
results, but yesterday 1t was the surest
ground getter, several being completed
with Johnston, Lansdon, or Heer on the
receiving end The Boise line deserves
the greatest credit for the way it
worked, although outweighed. The
Weiser backfield was heavy but not
particularly fast. The lineup:
