in SECOND GAME
WHITMAN LOSES GAME BY 20
P0INTS-LET DOWN TO
33-13 SCORE.

Letting the Whitman college bas-
ketball men down to two field
baskets, the University of Idaho Van
dals took the second game of the two
game series, 33 to 13, at the univer-
sity gymnasium Friday night The
/ Vandals through their superiority of
attack and defense won the second
game by margin of 20 points In
the second half the Missionaries were
unable to penetrate the Vandal de-
Tense for single field basket.
The game was rough and fast with
much fouling. Chandler, Whitman
guard, was ruled out on personal
fouls in his endeavor to keep the bril-
liant Al Fox from the basket Chand-
Ter was not so successful in keeping
Al Fox from scoring as he was in the
first of the two game series. The
younger member of the Fox family
was the high point man of the game
with five field baskets and 13 out OF
IL free throws.
Close Guarding Feature
Both teams played better basket
ball than on Thursday night Close
guarding by both teams furnished the
feature of the game from the view
point of good basketball. The Whit
man defense was good but the light
ming like passes of Idaho players and
numerous counters on long shots
broke up the visitors style of play
much better than the night before. e
The two field baskets made by
Whitman were the results of long
shots N. Penrose counted the first
basket for Whitman on a long shot
and York. Whitman forward. Gagged
the second basket on long shot from
well beyond the center of the floor.
The Idaho guards prevented the pos
sibility of counters from short shots
underneath the basket.
AS a result of the strength of the
Idaho defensive game the Whitman
men were forced to resort to long
shooting with unsatisfactory results.
Outcome Not In Doubt
The Whitman men were the first to
score when N. Penrose scored his
field basket. Conversion of two free
throws by Penrose kept Whitman in
the lead until the Vandals hit their
stride and then the game was simply
a matter of what the score would be-
The first half ended Is to Z in favor of
Idaho
In the second half the VandaIs pull
ed away by keeping possession of the
ball most OF the time. Whitman was
unable to make a field basket in the
last period while the Idaho players
made IS points. The Whitman men
were able to score only through the
foul shooting of N. Penrose in this
period, who converted six throws in
to points
N. Penrose was the star of the
Whitman team with his close guard
ing, keeping Captain r. Fox to one
field basket. In addition Penrose was
the Whitman free throw shot and he
did capable floor work Knudson. the
Whitman center, was good on getting
the tip-off on account of his heighth
and ability to jump. Gurian, the small
Whitman forward showed well on his
floor work
