IDAHO 19
wsc 33
An injury-riddled Idaho team that was
long on fight but short on depth, fell to
the \Vashington State Cougars 33 to 19
in the 57th edition of the Battle of the
Palouse. The strong W.S.C. squad, which
later won the passing championship of the
nation, showed no concern that the Vandals
had a squad of only 32 men, as they
used a well-blended attack to roll to five
touchdowns in the course of the afternoon.
The Vandals never stopped fighting as they
came within one foot of tying or going
ahead of the Cougars in the opening minutes
of the second half. Then, after losing starting
quarterback Howard Willis, they came
back to score twice in the fourth quarter.
In scoring 19 points in the game, the Vandals
rolled up their highest total against the
Cougars since 1924 when they beat their
Palouse neighbors, 19 to 3.
