WALLA WALLA men
IDAHO TEAM OUTFIGHTS VISIT
ORS, 81 TO 29-F0X
BROTHERS STAR.

Coach David McMillan'S Idaho Van
dals made it three out of four games
won from the Walla Walla American
Legion by winning, 81 to 49, Friday
night in the university gymnasium,
from the Walla Walla quintet in the
fourth game. The Walla Walla team,
made up of men like "Sticks" Dement,
and "Squinty" Hunter and with a
personnel almost unequalled for In
dividual ability broke even with Ida
ho at Walla Walla on a two game
series but the Idaho men took both
games played here.
Friday nights game was even
faster than the contest of Thursday
night Idahos ability to fight hard
and the superiority of their team
work won the game. A crowd of more
than l3O people saw the game.
Captain Fox Stars
Captain Bullet" Fox starred on the
field with his shooting of baskets, his
rustling of the ball, and his ability
to lead his men. Fox makes an ideal
Idaho captain with his fighting and
leadership qualities. His shooting of
five field baskets from long and dif-
ficult angles contributed five distinct
features to the game.
His brother, Al Fox, clever forward,
starred again with his converting of
13 out of Is free throws into points
In addition he hooped one field
basket. Al, if he keeps up his pres
ent record, will be looked upon as the
foremost free throw shot in the north
west conference.
Thompson at Center
"Oz" Thompson at center played a
! WI r. WI nal
the Fox brothers. He brought in six
points for Idaho with his three field
baskets. In addition to playing a
star offensive game Thompson kept
the brilliant Sticks" Dement, down
with a minimum number of baskets,
even though the Walla Walla man
shot four baskets.
Edwards and Telford at guards for
Idaho proved to be a worthwhile
combination Both men played hard
and fast They broke up the visitors
offensive and forced them to resort
to long shooting from the center of
the floor The ability of Telford and
Edwards to rustic the ball kept the
Vandals in possession of the ball most
of the time.
Dement, and Hunter
Sticks" Dement, made the most
brilliant showing Friday night of the
visitors. Twice he shot field baskets
from well beyond the center of the
floor and on both shots the ball sail
ed clean through the basket without
touching the rim. "Squinty" Hunt
er, handling hard job in that he was
playing both guard and forward,
starred for the Walla Walla men. He
made good on II out of 27 free throws
and counted one field basket.
Drumheller, regular guard of the
visitors, was sick Friday night. AS a
result Hunter was played at running
guard and Magrunn played forward.
Hard Fought Game
At the end of the first half Idaho
men led by a score of 19 to 49, Hunt
er's conversion of several free throws
and field baskets by Magrunn and
Dement, evened up the score "a to "a
about the middle of the second half.
But in turn Al Fox turned into Idaho
points and with the field baskets OF
the rest of the Idaho team at the end
of the game the Vandals had rolled up
a substantial score and the game was
won
Buck" Hunter of Moscow, as
referee, won praise. His work was
eminently fair and he called fouls
closely. Numerous fouls were called
but as Walla Walla was carrying a
limited number of players upon four
personal fouls being called on man,
the player was kept in the game and
two free throws were given the op-
posing team Al Fox had four per-
sonals called on him, Thompson had
five, and Hunter had four. Every
players on the floor was called for at
least one personal foul.
