the Stanford first team to one touchdown during the

~first half, a valiant band of Vandal warriors succumbed to the Cardinal

attack in the second half and lost -+7 too. For two quarters the Idaho gridders fought Stanford to a standstill and thrice repulsed their charges, only to have" pud" Lewis slip around end on a lateral pass to score and convert his point, to leave the half-time score Stanford 7, Idaho o. mothered under an avalanche of reserves, Idaho saw two Redshirt touchdowns in the third period and four more in the final quarter, with Lewis contributing four of the total. It was tanford deception and an utter lack of substitutes to rush into the fray that made the score so lop-sided . In this game B urgher proved his triple threat ability. Once, while standing behind his own goal line, he passed to Dittman , who ran 30 yards before being downed. On the next play he kicked and caught the tanford safety, Frentrup, napping, and the ball rolled many yards. Later in the game, instead of punting from behind his goal, he eluded several tacklers and ran t8 yards before being downed. The lead did not halt the procession of Stanford men, and Coach Glenn " Pop" Warner used a total of 44 foot bailers that disastrous afternoon. That Stanford was one of the leading elevens in the United States last season was borne out later in the year by the one-sided victory over the Army at New York. As "Pop" \Varner told Coach Erb, "Your team would give any eleven a real game," so we believe it to be borne out that Idaho was not humiliated but lost only to a greater number. After the first half Idaho was constantly on the defensive, completely bewildered by the double and triplt passes as well as the Warner deception in general. The substitutes that Warner sent into fray did the harm, after the first eleven was held to one touchdown during the firs t half. Simpkins, mailing, Le wis and Frentrup gave Jdaho the real trouble after '' Biff" ll offman, Wilton, Sims and Fleishacker had failed to dent the Vandal line for substantial gains. Pnge
