VANDALS SUPERIOR
TO OREGON ELEVEN
IDAHO'S SHOWING AGAINST AG-
GlES MORE CREDITABLE THAN
WASHINGTON'S PERFORMANCE

Idaho'S superiority over the Ore
gon "Aggies" is not expressed by the
score of to 0. If the Idaho supor-
iority could be expressed in points
1T would be superiority of three
touchdowns. The eleven from Cor
wallis was completely outclassed in
every department of the game nd Ida
hos victory against Rutherford's
men is far more creditable than the
10 to 0 win made by Washington.
Idaho is now the potential Pacific
Coast conference champion. The
Vandals in the face of the stiffest
kind of a trip to California are more
than likely to throw a defeat into
both the cocky Cardinals of Stanford
and the Trojans of Southern Califor-
mia.
Process of Elimination
The Vandals will, of course, never
receive the recognition they deserve
unless California is defeated by Wash
ington and Washington is defeated by
Washington State. In that event Ida
no will be recognized as the best elev-
en- in the conference by unbiased
judges through the process of elimi-
nation with Idaho winning from
Stanford and U. S. G.
Boise fans were treated to the
greatest of the Armistice Day class
les. The game had plenty of thrills
and the Idaho men played a brand of
football that caused university en-
thusiasts to expand with pride. o.
A. G. staged a brilliant and desper-
ate rally in the fourth quarter which
frightened Idaho supporters who had
not seen the team in action this
season.
veteran Fans Unalarmed
Fans who had witnessed previous
games against Oregon and w. S. C.
were not alarmed, however. This o.

heart and the Vandals as though of

passes and Price, quarter, got away
for a nice run. Before he was stop

yard line, with four downs.
The 7-yard line was as close as
o. A. c. ever came to the Idaho goal
line. 0. A. G. went backward from
that point. AS one undergraduate

Powerful In Two Ways
Idaho has yet to be scored upon
and there are plenty of people, en-
thusiasts perhaps, who are certain
hat they have reason to believe that
Idaho will not bescored upon. Ida
hos recognized defensive prowess is
coupled with a scoring capacity sec
ond to none. Looking at the season
,hus far and anticipating just few

lied to be the leaders of the Coast
conference.
