College Team About
Pounds Way to Victory
In Final Quarter; Con-
test Thrilling.

Entering the game as almost GER
tain losers, the College of Idaho loot
ball team upset the dope at Salt Lake
Saturday and gave the University of
Utah team the scare of its life. Foot
ball luck gave Utah the game by
l6-l2 score. Twilight and the final
whistle found the college team sys-
tematically pounding away in the
shadows of the Utah goal where, for
almost the entire final quarter, they
had been threatening the Utah goal
with touchdown that would have
turned defeat into victory.
So close was the score and so mar
rowly did Utah win that College of
Idaho football stock took decided
upward leap. Beat Whitman Thanks
giving" has become the slogan of the
college, its life and ideal, and will
continue so until November 28 when
the Missionaries and college elevens
clash at Caldwell.

Je Only once did Coach Cornelps cohort
open up in the first half and then, afte
