Morale Means Success
Morale is the one thing that makes
it possible for the Idaho team to
compete with the teams OF larger in
stitutions in the Pacific Coast con-
ference" said Coach R. L. Mathews.
t'When the team is playing at home
the support of all Moscow, as well
as the university, is great factor in
the morale of the players.
"Teams from the university are
idaho teams, belonging to and rep
resentative of the state of Idaho, and
if Moscow doesn't support the team
it is going to hurt the morale. Sup
port the team from the standpoint
of sentiment only The team wants
and needs this support
Oyersmith Urges Closing
"MOScOw buSipnSS hOuSeS should
close for the Montana, w. S. c. and
Gonzaga games," said A. H. Over

a business house in the city that can
afford to keep open for the univers-
ity games." He urged the import
ance of keeping the Gonzaga game at
Moscow in order to bring a crowd
from Spokane to Moscow and in or
der to keep the students from being
forced to go to Spokane for the Con
zaga game.

houses close for the games in sup
