WIN, 35-32.

r rFIudy ulSuL III CHe university OIL Ida
hO gymnasium when the Idaho Van
dals outplayed the Washington Stat
Cougars, winning % to 16, and th,
university first year men, turning i'm
pending defeat into victory in sen
sational one-mnute-tOplay rally, de
feated the Pullman freshmen 35 to 80
In addition to the two Idaho victories
the enormous crowd of 1900 people
was thrilled by its own fine "go ge
'em Idaho spirit"
Cougar players were outclassed anG
Saturday nights game at Pullman
looks like another Idaho victory. The
Vandals played as a machine anC
their close-knit and effective defense
kept the visitors down to three field
baskets. Only the phenominal ability
of Captain Friel of Washington State
to convert free throws into points
kept the Cougar score from being be-
low ten. Friel was poison" with his
foul shooting, converting 10 baskets
out of II attempts. His individual
work as a free throw shot was a
feature of the game.
Defense Shows Up
Both teams showed best on their
defensive work with Idaho looking
best from that angle Of the game
Washington State players were unable
to work the ball consistently to under
meath the Idaho basket and were, as
a result, forced to resort to long
basket shooting. On the other hand
while the Vandals met stiff opposi-
tion their well developed team play
enabled them to work the ball under
meath the baskets and make points
through short shots. Captain Rich
Fox showed we'll, however, on his
long shooting, caging two baskets on
long Shots
At the end of the first half the score
stood Is to in favor of the Vandals.
Superior passing, ability to handle the
ball, marked superiority of teamwork,
better individual work will win for
any basketball team and Idaho had
all the qualifications.
Idaho VandaJs Star
Difficult it is to pick any one man
for the Idaho luminant. Under Nc
Millan's system the team worked as
one man and to pick one star would
be to pick five stars. Captain Fox
and his brother, AL, showed well as
forwards. Captain Fox played heady
brilliant game, more than once out
guessing the entire Cougar team by
his individual work. He rustled the
ball well, passed accurately and when
occasion presented itself, made good
on his basket shooting.
AL Fox hooped eight out of II free
throws and made one field basket
Thompson at center played bril-
liant game and he was SO much better
than any center sent in by Coach Boh-
1er that the comparison was most
noticeable. He outjumped his man
every time, converted three field bas-
kets, and worked as an integral part
of the Idaho machine.
At guards Gartin and TelfOrd were
responsible for the low field basket
count of the Cougars. Gartin kept
Friel, the W. S. C. captain and star
forward, from making even one field
basket and Telford duplicated the
trick in the guarding of his man, Say
ers the other visiting forward.
Outcome Not In Question
After the start Of play in the second
half Coach Mcmillan sent in Edwards
for Thompson and Ad Nelson for A.
Fox and both substitutes performed
capably.
The outcome of the game was new
er in question and from a comparison
Of the two teams the Vandals will
ring up another victory again tonight
1t Pullman. More than 200 Idaho un-
1ergraduates and goodly number OF
will make the trip to
Pullman. Most of the undergraduates
will go via the sleigh-ride route,
eaying Moscow about 4 o'clock.
