The first game scheduled for Idaho on the conference roster was one with Washington State, which, due to rain, had to be cancelled. The second game, also with W.S.C., was played in Pullman the next day and the Idaho Vandals took a defeat 7 to o from Buck Bailey's men. The game was marked by flashy playing and equally erratic "boners." After holding the heavyhitting Cougar team scoreless in the first two innings, J acobs weakened and three runs crossed the plate. Another concentrated attack in the next inning netted three more runs for the men from Cougarville. Lacy then took J acob's place on the mound and allowed one run in the three innings which he pitched. Neil Speirs then wound up the last half of the eighth without allowing any further scoring by W.S.C. H ayden made a "circus catch" when, in the second inning, the bases loaded and two out, he caught a long fly over his shou lder while on the run.
Following the games in Seattle the I daho Vandals toured down the coast to Corvallis, where they lost two straight to the heavy hitting Oregon State Beavers. The first game was dropped to the tune of 12 to 4· The second fracas showed the Foxmen gaining a point while O.S.C. was lowered one to make the score 1 I to 5· The first game went well until the fourth inning, when the winners pounded out four runs off Lacy's offerings. Two more counters were added by well hit balls in the fifth. The Vandals' stick work came in the sixth and seven th innings when H ayden's twobagger scored Martin and Williams, and when the Beaver pitcher walked two men and allowed two runs. The second game was generously sprinkled with errors and after the second inning the boys from Oregon State went on a scoring rampage. Cy Geraghty showed up well in the hitting department and in the pinch es came through with some nice work in the field.

Eugene, Oregon, witnessed a senes of games in which the fighting Vandals of Idaho, tired of being the under dog, shook off the University of Oregon Webfeet in two thrill-packed and hard-fought games. The score of the first was I too in Idaho's favor. In this initial game Jacobs pitched a wonderful four-hit fracas, in which he outdid himself in a marvelous exh ibition of stamina and judgment. The second game of the series see-sawed back and forth with the outcome in doubt until the last of the ninth inning when Oregon scored the winning tun on a squeeze play. The final score was 6 to 5· Though the series was split at Eugene, the Vandals found out that they could play ball and, somewhat heartened, they returned to 1Ioscow, wishing that it hadn't been so late in the season before they "found" themselves. The series was featured by the exhibition pitching of the Vandal hurl ers, and the pepping up of the entire aggregation.
Tn the first of a two-game series with the University of Washington in Moscow, the Idaho nine lost to the tune of 14 to 3· The game was featured by heavy stick work and frequent errors.

Th e rest of the game was entirely the Huskies' as the I daho fielders chased ten more hits which went far from home. Jacobs pitched the en tire game. The second game of the series was played in a blinding rain which poured down in torrents after the third inning got under way.
