Coach Kelley's University of Idaho
football team went down to defeat
Friday afternoon at Pullman on Rog-
eers field against the heavier Wash
ington State college eleven. They
were defeated by better, stronger
team, a team with an almost unlimit-
ed supply of reserve players, and a
team that is probably the best foot
ball machine ever developed at the
Washington State institution. In ac-
quitting themselves right creditably
against w. S. C. the Idaho team play
ed great football against one of the
greatest football teams i'll the entire
country.
The only game to be lost this sea-
son is the sentiment of the idaho
players and the undergraduate body.
The game was lost but Washington
State players knew they mad been in
a bitterly fought but clean garne for
the Idaho players fought with more
than courage from the first whistle
until the timers gun called tinle
Neil Irving, Idaho halfDacK, played
q great game Of football. His SEN
sational dashes of Is, 20 and 25 yards
around the Washington State ends,
were features of the afternoon. Moe
Sax, W. S. G. halfback, slippery,
speedy and clever carrier of the ball,
was the biggest individual factor in
winning for Pullman. His return OF
pivoted and spun for gains almost
hn oor io1
Idaho was first to score. Starting
play on their own 20 yard line the
sturdy Whitcomb, through a split buck
play, smashed through for Idaho's
first and ten. Washington State held
and Irving punted Washington
State made two first downs and in
turn were forced to punt. Then
"Beaney" Breshears, Idaho quarter,
sent "Huck" Breshears, Whitcomb
and Irving crashing through for three
first downs to the Is yard Crimson
and Gray line. A Washington State
stand and Irving dropped back for
one OF the prettiest plays of the game.
From the "a yard line with Whit
comb holding the ball the famous
Gus" lifted the ball true and straight
through the standards. 1t was al
beautiful kick and counted three
points for Idaho.
At the last Of the first quarter with
Moran, Jenne and Sax carrying the
ball, the Cougars went to Idaho's five
yard line as the call of time came.
On the first play of the second quarter
q forward pass, Skadan to Bohannon,
netted Washington State a touchdown
and Skadan made the score 7 to 3 by
kicking goal.
In the third quarter Sax's brilliant
return OF Irvings long soaring punts |
worked the ball to within striking dis
lance Of the Silver and Gold line. The |
elusive Sax made more gains and the
other backfield men of the Cougars
plunged for gains until the two yard |
line was reached despite the gallant
Idaho defense. After bitter strug-l
gle Sax was showed across for the
second Pullman touchdown.
Again in the fourth quarter the pow
erful w. 8. c. style Of offensive SO
we'll adapted to the capabilities of
Sax, forced the ball for their third
Sandberg went over the
ine but Sax missed the try for goal
DICK.
It was in the last of the fourth
quarter that Idaho threatened the
Cougar line. A brilliant open forma-
ion and Irving tore off gains of Is,
20 and 25 yards. The dependable Joe
Whitcomb and A. Breshears went
yOOdly distances and WhitcOmb snar
ID q forward pass from Irving. Then
irving on. the next play snapped
ong rs yard pass to Captain Grover
Evans who reached up and caught the
elusive pigskin and Idaho was on the
State five yard line. There
he heavier Pullman line put up a
mighty defense and held Idaho for
hree downs. On the fourth down an
daho back fumbled and the ball went
'ver to the Pullmanites.
It was a great game of football,
Witnessed by a crowd of 1000 people,
nd Idaho may well be proud of their
cams showing. The men fought
very minute and while defeated they
re accorded the highest of hon3rs by
daho followers. That the defeat of
friday is the last of the season is
ertain. Idaho intends to win by sub
tantial margins every game for the
est Of the season
