EASY FOR VANDALS
FRESHMEN LET DOWN HARD
FRESHMEN WIN FROM THE
CHENEY NORMAL

Gonzaga university's basketball
team proved to be easy pickings for
Coach David McMillan's Idaho Van
dals and the university freshmen won
a hard fought game from the Cheney
State Normal team The varsity game
was won by the lop-sided score Of
80 to 10 while the freshmen won from
the normal school team by score
of SO to 28. Both games were played
before good sized crowd at the uni
versity gymnasium Friday night.
Gonzaga was completely outclassed
by the Vandals. They were swept off
their feet by the versatility of attack
of the Vandals and the Irishmen from
Spokane were so closely guarded that
field basket, and this basket was
made through what is known as a
lucky shot.
Edwards Stars At Guard
The work of Harry Edwards at
guard, AL Nelson at forward, Telford
at the other guard position, Captain
Rich Fox at forward, were the feat
ures of the game while Malloy was
the best man on the visiting team.
Telford and Edwards at their guard
positions stayed with their opposing
forwards until the danger of the Con-
zaga attack was put at a minimum.
The guarding and defensive game of
the Idaho team was probably the out
standing feature of the contest
AL Fox with his basket shooting
featured Idaho's offensive game The
versatile younger member of the Fox
family contributed largely to the
Idaho score by his shooting of seven
field baskets and his conversion of
seven out of ten free throws. Harry
Edwards, in addition to playing a
stellar game at guard, hooped five
field baskets.
Needles Shoots Fouls
Hattrup was the Gonzaga man that
managed to make the lone field bas-
ket for the visitors while Needles
scored eight points for his team by
shooting eight out of IA free throws.
The game was slow in the first
half but the contest warmed up in the
second half. Fans found interest in
the work of the Idaho team despite
hte uneveness OF the game. In the
second half Ad Nelson was put in for
or Thompson at center and perform
ed capably. Gartin was substituted
for Telford and Marineou replaced
Captain Fox at forward All Of the
substitute players worked we'll with
the regulars of the team.
Mcmillan Conner
The varsity game was played first
and the freshman tangle with the
Cheney State Normal five followed. |
Mcmillan, a speedy, aggressive and |
-crack-shot player of the "frosh,' was
the outstanding star of the game with
his shooting of eight field baskets.
The work of this freshman was 1iken-
ed by old-timers to the playing of
Charley Gray, former Idaho Vandal
captain and All-Northwest player
Mcmillan showed unusual ability and
he promises to work in we'll next year
with the Vandal crew
Ali members of the freshman crew
showed up WELL For the Cheney
State Normal Leon Woodrow, former
Idaho freshman. was their outstand-
ing star although not used in the first
lineup by the Cheney coach. Soon af-
ter Woodrow was put in the game
the Cheney team staged a comeback
through his almost individual efforts
and very nearly jumped into lead
on the score over the freshmen. Mil
visitors with five field baskets.
"Buck" Hunter Of Moscow, capable
referee, handled the varsity game to
the utmost satisfaction of the crowd
by calling all fouls closely. Homer
Hudelson Of Moscow was equally sat
fsfactory with his work as referee in
the second game
