The Idaho war riors victorious through “a field goal have since then apparently lost the gam” through ruling by the coast conference that Bob Fitzke, star half back. is ineligible to play. Fitzke was protested before the game but WIS al lowed to PLAY under protest. Though outclasscd somewhat by the heavier Idaho eleven Whitman put up a Stubborn game. During the first quarter the teams appeared nearly evenly matched and in scrimmage there was little to choose between them However Idaho outplayed the sons of Marcus during the last half and were particularly strong In break ing up Whitman attempts AZ forward passes. Almost invariably an Idaho player would get the bali when Whit man tried the pass On the other hand Idaho successfully worked the forward pass several times. 4 feature Of the game was the s;rrdv defense made by Whitman when their own goal was endangered several times Idaho threatened a touchdown but each time Borleslse- s men held like stone wall Oncs Idaho broke rD forward pass and c’rriel the hall over the line bot Ida ho was n side and the score was not allowed.
