VANDAL PRACTICE
TO BEGIN SEPT. Is
SCHEDULE MORE FAVORABLE
COACH MATTHEW'S REFUSES TO
MAKE PREDICTIONS

I
Football practice for the Vandal
squad will begin Saturday, September
Is, which is the earliest day poss-
ible under coast conference rules, ac-
cording to Coach r. l.. Matthews, who
arrived in Moscow from the coast,
Monday. He leaves for Boise some
time the last of the week, for meet
ing of the state athletic commission,
and from there he will return to
Moscow to prepare for the football
season.
Five, and possibly six of last years
lettermen will be lost to the squad
this year. Jim Neal, Babe Brown,
Dale Vohs, Beany Breshears, and
Arnold Cooley have played their last
game for Idaho, either because of gra-
duation, or the three-year eligibility
rule. Neal, Brown, and Vohs, who
are returning to complete their col
lege work, will act as assistant
coaches, however.
1t is also possible that Abe Goff
will be unable to play, because of an
operation which he had upon his knee
this summer. Last years lettermen
who will make up the nucleus of this
seasons team are Kleffner, half;
Stivers, quarter; Vesser, end; Hau-
sen and QUINN, tackles; Kline, CEN
ter, and Taper, guard. Kinnison, at
half, and Stevens, at guard, are also
expected to make formidable bids
for regular positions this year
Fitzke on Team
Bob Fitzke, phenominal drop
kicker and punter, who was inelig-
ible last season, will also line up this
year in regular position in the
backfield. Because of his exceptional
ability to score from the field he
is expected to make a powerful part
in Idahos scoring machine.
In addition, the 1922 frosh squad,
practically intact, will be in the run
ming. Holding last years freshman
northwest championship, with a re-
cord of only one score against them
in series of six games, members of
this team are expected to ably fill
the gaps in the varsity lineup There
will be Davis, quarter and half;
Cameron, half; Dawson, half: Mel
son, full Bucklin, Lansdon, and
Payne, end; Sibley and Jones, guard
and Hueffner and Phipps, half.
Although Coach Matthews refuses
to make any predictions as to the
coming season, football fans are look
ing for team with the same fight
ing spirit as last years, and a team
hat will also have more knowledge
of football and Matty's" coaching
style.
Schedule is Favorable
This years schedule is also far
more favorable for the Vandal team.
LAST year but one game out of eight
vas played on the local field, while
his year three out of eight will be
lere, and fourth is scheduled for
Pullman.
The Idaho team is attempting
'omething this year that has hither-
o never been tried in American foot
,all. Starting with the Armistice
same at Boise, the team will play
hree games on single trip. From
Boise they go to Palo Alto for q
,ame with Stanford on November II,
md from there they go to Los
Angeles, where they finish up the
eason November "a with a game
Igainst U. S. c.
With a far easier schedule than
hat of last year, a coaching staff
With which all the men are familiar,
nd that same fighting, never-give-
n spirit that was so much a part of
he Vandals last season, the univer-
ity should see a football season that
a success in every way.
The schedule follows:
