Oregon has a football team, and
Washington has one, that played all

beat or tied everything on the coast.
Tlie rules say that everybody that
has a uniform is eligible, that in
case a player has a phone call he can
excuse himself for a few minutes,
come back again, -then if he has a
luncheon engagement can take time
out for that. Then, If he sees an old
friend In the stands can send in a

Then, of course, in case of slight

COLLEGE OF IDAHO AND
E. 0. N. FOOTBALL TEAMS
BATTLE TO SIX TO SIX TIE
College of Irtabo and the Eastern
Oregon Normal school are tW all
square, as fat as football goes. The
two teams, ctteh trftlt a previous vic
tory, fonglit to a 0 to 0 tie here Sat
urday afternoon in the B. O. N. home
coming game, before a crowd estim
ated from m0 to 25(10.
But most of the crowd left feeling
that the Mountaineers had the better
team and that they should have won.
With the score deadlocked Pete Miles
broke through the line and raced nine
yards to the Idaho goal line la the
second period, but Robinson, umpire,
found a penalty In the line ana
moved the Mountaineers back 15
yards and disallowed the touchdown.
The Coyotes score came early in
the game on a lbreak." Pettcrson's
fumble was recovered by the Coyotes
on tho Normal school's six-yard line
and iliTco ' plays later Thorron,
Quarterback, went over on a lateral.
Attempt for point failed.
Eastern Oregon came back strong
about two minutes later and marched
60 yards up the field to score. Miles
reeled off a 33-yard play off tackle
to account for a large sized chunk of
yardage, and then, after tho ball was
worked to the Coyote 15-yard line,
Crawford faded back an4 passed to
Hanks, who dashed across tho line.
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. Both times the Moun
taineers bristled and held for downs.
Halfway through the final period,
E. O. N. drove to the two-yard line.
THE HALLOWE'EN SPIRIT IN
with a lateral to Patterson account
ing for a 26-yardl gain. But here
the Coyotes became stubborn, and
three plays gained very little. Craw
ford then trusted all on a pass, and
Patterson was rushed on the play
and tackled on the 11-yard line be
fore he could throw the ball. During
that last period Idaho came no closer
to the Mountaineer line than the St-
yard stripe.
Idaho made MB uras nowns j vhb
Mountaineers' 10, but to total yard
age, the Normal school chalked up
