Eastern Oregon came back strong about two minutes later and marched 60 yards up the field to score.

Hanks attempt to kick goal was blocked. Again in the first quarter E, O. N, pierced to the IB-yard line and on fourth down attempted! a field goal, but the pigskin felt short. E. O. N. was a constant menace to the Coyote goal line in the second period, but couldn't count. In tho third period Idaho took the offensive, and twice thrust inside tho 20-yard line.
