CLOSE: GAME BY
. SINGLE PO|N I
Wins From College of
Idaho Friday by a 7-6
Score; Game Is Real
Thriller.

Outplayed in every department, the
College of Idaho football team went
lown to defeat Friday on Cleaver field
o the Pacific university eleven. Score,
to 6. And the college team was
ucky to get that one touchdown.
On a yardage basis, Pacific clearly
won the game. Time after time, the
visiting eleven ploughed thru the col
lege line for long gains. Penalties,
once half the distance to the goal line,
for side line coaching, cut down the
visitors offensive superiority. Hold
ing also cost Pacific several possible
to score.
College elected to kick and the first
two plays ran the ball back up the
field about 20 yards. 1t was only
flash in the pan, however, and not un-
til the final quarter did the college
team again show real offensive power
when in final attempt to win, Cor
nell's players opened up with every
thing they had,
Pacihc's lone touchdown came in
the first quarter. Indirectly the OPP
portunity to score came as the result
of an intercepted college forward pass
we'll in the local teams territory. An
exchange of short punts, a couple of
we'll executed line plays and Pacific
had the ball on the college one yard
line and one down to go. Here Rohr,
Pacihc's ingenious field general, un-
corked perfect pass back of the col
lege line. Goal was kicked for an adj
ditional point from the FIVE yard line.
Cornell's team scored in the final
quarter when Blake Lowell intercepted
forward pass and ran 90 yards for
touchdown. According to B. F. Shee-
han, who refereed the game, the try
for goal was headed right but Pacific
lineman broke thru and blocked the

score aside from this sensational run
by the college captain. That oppor-
tunity also came in the final quarter.
Brilliant running by Wade and Blake
Lowell on end runs and off tackle plays
took the ball to Pacifc's rs yard line.
Here, quite properly, Lowell tried
twice to complete passes. Each time
the ball was grounded. On the third
down tactical error robbed the col
lege of the possible chance for field
goal when Wade Lowell ran the ball
to the side line, making a kick play
an impossibility. Another pass, the
only hope, was also grounded and
Pacific took the ball for the last time.
Play stopped with the ball still in
Pacihc's possession in the middle OF
the field
Not once has football team play
ing in Caldwell exhibited the knowl-
edge and finished ability to play the
game that Coach Franks eleven show
ed here Friday afternoon. Using a
line shift on every play that worked
with precision and that got results,
Quarterback Rohr put his men thru
dazzling series of plays, every one
scintallating in their effective execu-
ton. Early in the game, hidden
