There is something more thar
mere finances in keeping the game
at Moscow" said President Upham II
making the announcement, land tha
is college spirit. We owe this game
to the University of Idaho under
graduates who want to see the Con
zaga-Idaho game played on the home
field. The students have paid for thell
student body tickets expecting to be
able to see the Gonzaga game on the
home field. The larger proportion
of the students coud not see the game
if played in Spokane. The athletic
department owes the game to the Ida
no students and to the country ad-
jacent to Moscow"
