Much has been said about good
big men being superior TO good
little men in exhibitions Of physi-
cal prowess, and a quintet from
Idaho put the @. E. d. on this
axiom last night when they de-
feated Willamette university toss
ers in catch-as-catch-ean. knock

The score was &c TO 10.

Guilty In understanding why such
a team chose deliberately to dis
appoint a crowd anxious for ac-

have long sought to defeat--they
danced about the floor leisurely

used. but, perhaps. not for the
best interests Of basketball.
The game throughout the sec
