FOOTBALL GAME
W|THU.L|KELY
FOR NEXT FALL
u. of l. Offers College
Date Early in Season
at Moscow; Negotia-
tions Under Way.

Anse Cornell's College of Idaho
football team may play the University
OF Idaho next year.
Following several seasons OF bick-
ering that has resulted in not little
ili-feeling toward the athletic depart
ment of the university, negotiations
now under way promise a gridiron
contest at Moscow either September
% or October of next year. Tues
day a telegram was received from
Graduate Manager Albert Knudson OF
the u. offering the college either of
the above dates
And the chance to get d crack at
the university was promptly grabbed
by the scrappy little coach. WED
play Harvard if we had a chance" he
remarked Thursday, commenting on
the offer. For Idaho. from all dope,
will next fall have the strongest team
of its history and promises to be a
hard nut for any team to buck
But the college itself should have
a real team next year. Neither Jack
son nor Blake Lowell, both former
captains, graduate next spring and it
was discovered that should they re-
turn to school, each will be eligible
to play football again next fall. Next
year will be their fourth and final sea-
son since conference ruling was
passed imposing the four year rule
of $. |. c. schools. This ruling was
not made retroactive, hence both
Jackson and Lowell may be in Cor
nells lineup again next fall.
Half a dozen of the more proms-
ing high school grid stars OF this ter
Titory are expected to enroll here
next fall. From present indications.
The college will have its largest foot
ball squad in history when practice
starts next September
II the university game is played il
will probably be on October 6.
