The Vandals, though losing their first three games this year, have a rough and rugged squad capable of knocking off any team in the conference, especially if their op ponents are overconfident. Coach Dixie Howell believes that this year the Idaho team has more ability than any other Vandal team in history. And, despite the bad start, Howell believes that the team will surprise more than one opponent during the rest of the season. The former Alabama all American has injected spirit and fight into the squad, and thinks that every team they play will know it has been in a game. Yesterday the Vandals worked out in a cold rain, emphasizing pass defense. Though Howell re fused to comment on the effect of a sloppy field Saturday, Idaho feels that it would aid the home team by hampering the Webfoot passing at tack. On the doubtful list for the gan'e are fullback Sam Theis and guard Ken McCormack, both regulars. Theis has a bad leg, which was re injured in the UCLA game last Saturday, and McCormack injured his ankle, also against the Bruins.
