Playing like dubsin one game, Coach Phelan's outfit would comeback the next Saturday looking like the Coastchampions; and it was just the Vandals' luck totackle this freakish outfit on the first of their"on" weekends. Add to this the fact that thesophomore-sprinkled Idaho team was playingits first game of the season against a heavierconference team that had had an opportunityto pol ish up early season weaknesses a weekbefore against Gonzaga, throw in half a dozenlateral passes that had even the referee guessing,and you have the reason why Idaho came outon the wrong end of a 32-to-6 score.Just about every Husky score was the resultof a pass of some kind- several of them trickylaterals that went for long gains after the Vandalline had apparently stopped cold a line plunge.Idaho's only score came in the fourth quarter,after H oward Mcinerney recovered a Huskyfumble, and Willis Smith and Doug Cordon hadadvanced the ball twenty yards to the one-yardline. Theron Ward, sophomore fullback, took itacross through the Washington first string teamthat had been rushed into the game to stop thescoring threat.WILLIS S MITHQuarterbackDouc CoRDONFullbackJoHN ORBYHalfback
