(The Spokesman-Review J

Playing superior football in every
department of the game, the Univer-
sity of Idaho eleven defeated the
Gonzaga university team at the fair
grounds yesterday, 13 to 6. Showing
temporary flash of form in the sec
ond period, Gonzaga put the ball over
for their only touchdown, the result of
a pretty forward pass, Hatch to
Crowley. Again in the last few
minutes of the contest the North side
collegions displayed some punch in
their attack, but practically the en-
tire game Idaho smothered the Blue
and White players, the Gem State
defense being impregnable.
Receiving Meehan's opening kick
off on Idaho's 20-yard line, Perrine
returned it five yards. The Moscow
team started with rush, and after
an exchange of punts Irving made a
forward pass to Perrine for 20 yards
The same players repeated a moment
later with the aerial play, and Irv-
Gonzaga lines for steady gains of five
and 10 yards, placing the ball on
Gonzaga's one yard line The Con
zagans held momentarily, but on the
fourth down Irving went over for
Idaho's first score, 10 minutes after
the start of the game. Irving sue
