HIGH COMPLIMENT TO WORK
OF FOOT BALL PLAYERS.

That the foot ball game with the
Unlverity of Oregon was more thar
practice game" as the Oregon
coach had stated it was to be, is evi-
dent from the reports coming from
the scene of the contest last Satur-
day. The Mourning Register, pub
ished at Eugenes Oregon, Sunday
morning following the game admits
that Idaho outplayed Oregon in point
of yardage and in punting, and pays
a high tribute to Neill Irving. The
account of the game published in the
Register Sunday morning follows:
The University of Oregon football
team won it's first game of the
| Northwest conference season yester-
| day afternoon when it scored vic
tory over Idaho 13 to 7 in a fast, old
style game.
In the early part Of the first quar-
ter Oregon scored its first touch
down. Steers punted and the ball was
on Idaho's own 40 yard line. On
their first formation Idaho fumbled
and "Rud" Brown, Oregon end,
the 40 yards for touchdown. Ore
gon missed the goal
In the first two periods both teams
held to line plays. In these periods
Idaho semmed to have the advantage
of the varsity and made some big
gains through the Oregon line. In the
first half Idaho made rs yards from
gained but 81 yards on line bucks
Steers was the outstanding ground
gamer for the Oregon team during
this part of the game.

again made by Brown crossing the |
line after a 20-yard pass from Rine- !
hart During the time that Rinehart
was in the game he showed up to |
great advantage and proved to be one
of the best team generals that the |
has had. An injury to
his leg caused him to be carried from
the field in the third quarter. Steers t
then went in at quarter and +.
Jacoberger was sent at right half.
With the ending of the first period
Oregon's scoring ceased. Forward
passes brought them up to within
striking distance upon several occa-
sions but they lacked the punch to
ret the ball over.
Idaho's lone score came in the third
1uarter when H. Breashears follow
ng a series of plays in which the
1em staters made use of the "Michi- ,
ran spread" formation and had sue
.eeded in carrying the ball half the 1
ength of the field. Irving converted {

me of the most spectacular features t
# the day. The clever Gem state I
lalf made most of Idaho's yardage |
md seemed to be the only member OF 7

tors on several occasions but after t
aving got down to their own five c
