Aiken Tapers Drills; Howell In Vow Year When Oregon tangles with Dixie Howell’s Idaho Vandals Saturday afternoon at Hayward Field, it will be the 35th meeting of the two schools. With Steve Dotur back off the injured roster, and the entire Webfoot eleven in excellent physi cal condition, Oregon will make a strong bid for its 13th consecutive Pacific Coast Conference win, and its 29th win over the Vandals in 35 tries. LAST VANDAL, WIN IN 1925 Idaho has failed to hit the win column against the Ducks since 1925 when they copped a 6 to 0 victory. In 1924, the Vandals hop ped on a weak Oregon eleven to gain a 13-to-0 win. And that is the entire story of Idaho triumphs over Oregon. The record shows 28 wins for Oregon, two for Idaho, and four ties. Although the Spudmen have been beaten often by the “Big Green Machine,” they have never been shamefully trounced. In 1932 the Ducks won their most lopsided victory, 32-0. Even the win-minded 1948 Web foot squad could do no better than 15-8. DIXIE MAKES PROMISE Stanford had its “vow team”; with the installation of Marehy Schwartz; Coach Dixie Howell has his “vow year.” Three seasons ago when he came to the helm of a team that couldn’t spell win,”; Howell reported that in three years he would field an Idaho eleven that would have to be respected. Wil lamette University is full of re spect for Idaho. The Oregon-Idaho rivalry goes back to 1901 when the two squads battled to a fierce 0-0 deadlock. Twenty years ago, a strong Ida ho squad invaded Multnomah Field in Portland to do battle with the Webfoots. DUCKS STRONG IN 1924 “Oregon put on as nice an exhi bition of passing as I ever hope to see. The first pass they tried and completed for a touchdown, was perfectly timed and placed . . . Archer grabbed it without even changing stride. Kitzmiller must have thrown the ball at least 45 yards—and right over the end's shoulder. Archer could have caught it with his teeth.” That was the comment of the one and only Buck Bailey, then Washington State line and base ball coach after “one of the best Oregon teams that has ever ap peared on a football field” smeared Idaho 34-7.
