Boise, Idaho-So far as the grizzled
Oldest inhabitants can remember. the
Armistice day football game to be
played here between the University
of Utah and the University of Idaho
will be the first intercollegiate foot
ball game in the history of this city.
There was, some years ago, game
between Idaho and the "All Stars"
but the fan who recalled this fact,
and who himself was one of the stars,
pulled wry fact at the mention and
remarked that the stars had not been
in very twinkling condition, or
words to that effect.
There were, at times, also, Indian
battles in this part of the county, the
oldest inhabitants are able to remem-
Der, but most of these happened be-
fore the present population came here
Collegians who used to get fed up
on college spirit and bonfires and
yells every football season for four
years, and who then were graduated
or otherwise caused to disappear from
college halls, have in great many
instances seen nothing in the way of
football for the last 10 years or so,
except high school games; and while
they say there have been some very
good high school games here, they are
inquiring about seats for the Armis-
tice day game in a way which indi-
Gates that they would like to see some
sure-enough varsity players bucking
the line again.
For these reasons, the University
Of Idaho Club of Boise, which is man
aging the game, is looking forward
to the contest with double interest.
The alumni are anxious to even up

make the Armistice day football game
Of the University Of Idaho with some
other university team an annual
event in the sports calendar of south

For people who may have lost touch
with the fine points of the game, as
we'll as for the added enjoyment of
those who are on their tiptoes about
it. Manager Claude w. Gibson has
said that he will have an announcer
on hand with megaphone to call out
the result of each play as it is made.
An announcing stand already is avail
able for this purpose, and man

Advertising for the event has been
done extensively throughout the
southern part of the state and the |
expects to have the seat
ing capacity at the state fair grounds,
where the game is to be pulled off,
more than filled. High school foot
ball squads from many towns already
have signified their intention to be
present, accepting an invitation from
the Boise club that they view the
game from the sidelines, under in
struction of their coaches.
Alumni from many towns have
written that they will attend, and the
game is expected to be accompanied
by display of University of Idaho
spirit that will be new to numerous
onlookers.
Indications are that the teams will
be quite evenly matched as to weight,
with Idaho somewhat heavier. Idaho
alumni have been so highly encourag-
ed by the Frightening of Idaho foot
oall prospects under tutelage of
Coach Tom Kelley that they are pre-
dieting that Idaho will take the big
end of the score.
