In addition student ticket sellers will

coming into Moscow in order to
facilitate the handling of the crowd
of 10000 people expected at the game.
Special trains are expected from
both Spokane and Lewiston in addf-
tion to the large number of people
coming in automobiles.
"There never has been any effort
on the part of Spokane to take game
away from Moscow and the univer-
sity students" said Frank Davies of
Spokane Monday. "Spokane's efforts
to have the Gonzaga-Idaho game
played in Spokane were based on the
assumption that the place of the con-
test was still open. The Combined
Civic Clubs of Spokane did not know
that the game had been scheduled all
along for Moscow. We want to have
Idaho play at Spokane when the
game is previously arranged for
Spokane and Spokane is just as in
terested in seeing that a crowd is at
Moscow for the game as though the
contest were to be played in Spokane.
"We do want to make Spokane the
athletic center of the Inland Empire
in so far as possible and an unat-
tractive game at Moscow might be
made attractive at Spokane. If Ida
ho has a game that will not be
in Moscow the game
would be attractive to football fans
in SpOkane"
