Rabid fans here Friday
Afternoon, Score 40.

Selling the opportunities as they
came, the College of Idaho football
team Friday afternoon, before $500
rabid football fans, walked over the
Idaho Tech and won the champion
ship of the southern Idaho conference
by l7-0 score.
1t was great game. Four times
when the Tech team threatened to
score, the college line stiffened and
bolstered by the wonderful defensive
work of Monte Miller, 217 pound full
back, the visitors were turned back
scoreless. Only three times did Corn
ellis team get within scoring distance.
Once Miller lost the ball on a tumble.
On the other two occasions, a touch
down resulted. Caldwelrs third score
came as the result of a well nigh per-
feet boot from the 80 yard line by
Blake Lowell.
All in all. it was the most spectacu-
lar game ever played on a Caldwell
grdiron. Play was fast from whistle
to whistle. Both teams called signals
sharply and plays were replete with
that essential to a gripping game
speed. Passes, spectacular end runs,
capable and wholehearted tackling and
blocking and threat in every play
kept the bowling crowd on its toes
from the kickoff to the timers final
gun.
Neither team scored in the first half.
Three times Coach Hutchinson's Wis
itors were within striking distance but
the final punch was lacking. College
of Idaho football followers saw the
Tech eleven make nine first downs in
the half while their team could only
get the coveted 10 yards on three oc-
casions.
Lowell Brothers Feature.
Not once in the first half was the
college team in position to strike But
in the second half the power of the
college offense manifested itself Early
in the second half when the Tech team
had punted from its own one yard line
and Blake Lowell had run the punt
back to the l8-yard line, Cash Nickle
and w. Lowell in two downs carried
the ball to the Tech FIVE yard line.
Here Miller fumbled and the col
lege's first real chance to score was
lost when the Tech recovered. An ex-
change of punts and two passes, how
ever, nullihed the loss and the college
had the ball on Techs 12-yard line
Here three line plunges netted nine
yards and on the fourth down with
the Tech backfeld backing up the line,
b. Lowell completed a clever pass to
his brother, w. Lowell for the first
touchdown. B. Lowell kicked goal.
In the final quarter with the ball on
the college 25-yard line, Holmes I'M

score of the game h. Lowell again

One more kickoff several scrimmage
plays, punt and two attempted Tech
passes, the second of which Eastman

ended the game.
The college won by converting its
opportunities, for the score does not in

the bitterness with which it was con-
