TANDALS PREPARE
FOR THREE GAMES
IDAHO TO WATCH OUTSIDE RE-
SULTS-TEAM LEAVES ON
SFRIENDSHIP SPECIALo

Idaho's Vandals in five games are
yet to be scored on and in those five
games the Vandals have a total ol
$50 points. The strength of the Idaho
defense was demonstrated last Friday
in the Gonzaga game, when the Bull
dog aerial attack was made ineffect-
i've by the secondary defense. No
doubt as to the strength of the Idaho
forward wall has been expressed
since the game in which Washington
State college was defeated, ii to 0.
Idaho now faces the hardest test of
the season-the hardest trip of any
team in the Pacific Coast or North
west cOnferences-three games away
from home, at Boise, at Palo Alto,
Calf, and at Los Angeles. Prepar-
alton for the trip and the first game
with Oregon Agricultural college at
Boise, November 10, will occupy the
remaining practice hours until Thurs
day.
Team on Special Train .
Coach r. L. Mathews will take his
players in a special car on the annual
Friendship Special, a train of II
cars, which leaves here Thursday af-
ternoOn at 8 o'clock. The same car
will carry the Vanda1s to California
The Friendship Special is run each
year from Moscow to Boise for the
annual Armistice day game The
Idaho-Oregon Aggie game this year
will be the fourth Armistice day
classic.
In the event that Idaho pulls
through, despite the many miles of
travel, the 1923 season will be the
most successful in the history of the |
university. Already Idaho is rated |
as foremost with California and
Washington in the Pacific Coast con-
ference. Idaho defeated Washington
State Ia too, but tied with Oregon
Washington States defeat of Oregon
now gives Idaho big edge over both
Oregon and w. S. G.
Win From w. S. C. Cougars
Idaho opened the season by defeat
ing the College of Idaho, S3 to 0. In
the next game the Vandals tanned the
Montana Bruins, 40 to 0. Then the
Vandals broke into the win column
against W. S. G.. after ten years of
Cougar victories A score1ess tie
with Oregon followed and then the
Gonzaga Bulldogs invaded Idaho ter
ritory. Gonzaga players, foremost !
exponents of the forward pass, were
successfully beaten back.
idaho now is prepared to wind up
an already successful season on a ]
three game trip. The trip schedule !
follows:
November 40. A. G. at Boise. t
November 17-Stanford at Pa1o i
Alto.
November 24-U. S. G. at Los An
geles.
No serious injuries resulted from
the Gonzaga game. Kinnison, full
back, was carried off the field suffer-
ing from the results of a crash with
some Bulldog, but his recovery was
rapid and he showed no indication of
injury Monday
Idaho students feel optimistic over
The prospects of victory on the three
game trip and in looking more par
,icularly to the future, over the 0. A.
J. game The Vanda1 followers real
re that the O. A. G.. eleven will be v
he strongest the Vandals have ever "
,een called upon to meet in a game t
1T Boise, but it is believed that the n
Tandals will rise to any emergency. n
n the three previous Armistice day Fl
contests at Boise, Idaho has won two tt
James from Utah and one from Wy fl
ming. d
Looking at Schedule C,
With reasonably good chances of D
Winning from o. A. c., Stanford, and c,
J. S. c., Idaho fans are naturally
ooking to the prospects of Idaho f,
anding on top through games won cl
nd lost by other teams On Novem- te
er II, California meets Washington n
t Berkeley and the prospects are Of
ood for a Washington win, particu h,
60 a. No
ada tied California last Saturday. D
hen Washington meets w. S. G. on D
rovember "a, and the Cougars are \.
kelly to bump the Huskies. All of ri
-hich would mean that Idaho would ii,
tand at the top. n
Another interesting assumption is -,
ased upon the possibility of CAL ei
ornia victory over Washington. The MI
University of Southern California r.
light take the Bears at Los Angeles -.

ssIf sO-In the Event that" :. n
There are a lot of s'If's'' in the pro-
)sitiOn but it is to be remembered
lat Idaho supposedly out Of the race LIE

renee teams were eliminating each uiS

on the northern division honors me

In any event with the Vandals win tia
