VANDALS EVEN UP
WITH COUGAR five
WIN SECOND GAME SATURDAY
NIGHT FROM WASHINGTON
STATE 2S TO 19.


The Idaho Vandals evened UP their
score with the Washington State Col
4 lege Cougars here Saturday night by
taking the second of their initial two
game series % to 10, which in a mea-
sure compensated for the loss of their
first game the previous night at
Pullman, 20 to II.
Saturday nights game was exceed
ingly fast and clean, each side play
/ ing a game that would do credit to
any Coast conference quintet. Idaho
took the lead in the first few moments
of play by a series of swift, short
passes, which ended under the bas-
/ ket in the hands of one or other of
the Gem State players, who dropped
/ the ball through the hoop for a brace
of counters.
TeIfOrd Drops First One.
Telford was the first Idaho player
to score Saturday night with neat
field goal, which was soon followed
by two more by Nelson and Thomp-
son, the Cougars meanwhile being
held scoreless by close guarding on
the part of the Idaho men. Fighting
for every advantage, the local five
rolled up a substantial lead, until at
the close of the first half the score
stood 19 to 5, with the visitors hope
lessly out of the race.
The second period was not as fast
nor as spectacular as was the first
frame, both sides contesting every
foot of floor space, with a conse-
quently large number of fouls on
both sides, which were for the most
part converted. The Cougars were
able in this half to garner in IA
points, six of which were via the
free throw route.
Idaho Scoring.
Thompson, Nelson, and Telford were
the outstanding Idaho luminaries,
with the floor work of Captain Fox
standing out above that of any other
player on either side. Thompson
made the most points from the field
with three baskets, with Telford, Gar
tin, and Nelson each coming in for a
pair of goals.
For W.S.C., Sorenson and Friel pro-
badly bore the brunt of the Cougar
offensive, with Schroeder doing Won
derful work at guard position against
Al Fox He was able to hold Fox
scoreless from the field, feat which
is rarely accomplished in any game,
and which has never before been done
On the Idaho floor during the two
years in which Fox has starred for
he Vandals.
Make Desperate Fight.
The shooting of fouls by Fox was
again one of the features of the
game. He was able to drop ten out
If a possible twelve through the net
or Idaho counters. The visitors, on
he other hand, were unable to get
he right distance, and of their fif-
oh thpU 0nnUnrfnd hJt
even.
Spirit among the Idaho undergradu-
ties was somewhat popped up after
nights win over Idaho's tra-
litional rivals. Could the Silver and
sold team have accomplished the
anne feat the preceding night, Idaho's
.hances of again winning the Pacific
,oast conference championship would
lave been good.
The next home game for the Idaho
i've will be February 10, when the
of Washington Huskies,
Who are making a strong bid for the
difference title, will be seen here in
ction. "A summary of the game fol-
