University of Idaho Vandals clinch-
ed the championships of the Pacific
coast and Northwestern conferences
here Friday night by winning, 81 to
81, from the Washington State college
five on the Idaho floor This victory
definitely decided the championship
of the coast conference giving Idaho
record of seven victories and no
defeats Idaho finishes the season as
the winner of the Northwestern con-
ference with a record of IL victories
and one defeat
Fitting and proper it is that the
Idaho Vandals, two conference champ
ions, should represent the Pacific
Northwest in the national intercol-
legiate tournament at Indianapolis
and there is general feeling of con-
viction that the Vandals will satis-
factorily represent this section of the
country against the sectional winners
from the other parts of the country.
Cancel Second Game
The second game, scheduled with
w. S. c., at Pullman tonight, was
called off through the courtesy of
Fred Boiler, Pullman athletic direct
or, and the Cougar players. The game
could not have affected the conference
standings and as Idaho was anxious
to send the team back east Saturday,
Pullman called off the game.
DOC" Boiler and the players of his
team, realizing the value of getting
the Vandals away Saturday afternoon
in order to give the Idaho men a rest
of two days at Indianapolis before the
start of the national tournament, call
ed of the game and thereby won the
gratitude of Idaho well wishers.
w. S. c. players wished the Idaho
men all success at indianapolis.
Rough Fast Game
The game Friday night was rough
and fast with 40 fouls called by Ref
cree Sam Meyer of Spokane, who
a good impartial and fast
game. The Vandals prevented the
Cougar men from scoring single

team finished strong the Idaho team
was never in danger.
Cisna, w. S. c. forward, and Say
ers, who took his place, were both
from the game on personal
fouls and Bill" Gartin, Vandal guard,
was put out of the game in the closing
minutes on personal fouls. Both
teams fought hard and Washington
State put up a desperate battle in the
second period.
Idaho Never in Danger
Idaho players rained in the baskets,
starting with long shot by Captain
{ Ok, aid TIE inst half ended with
the Vandals leading on a p to II
score. Although the Pullman men
lid their best in the second half to
even up the score in the last period,
he superiority of the Idaho team

one time in the first ten minutes Of
play Idaho led by an Is to score.
