FOOTBALL The 1959 Idaho Vandals had another fine season with a 4-5 record. Starting off a little slow by losing to Oregon and Missouri, which by the way, was lost in the last 3 5 seconds, the Vandals went on to win 4 out of their next 7 games. Being plagued with injuries to key players and a little short on reserves proved to be the downfall of the Vandals.

Playing yard for yard with all

teams for the first three quarters, showed the Vandals leading or tied in most all of the games, but then came the disastrous fourth quarter which proved the turning point in every game lost. The Vandals had many bright spots throughout the season with tackle Pete johnson making second team all-Pee, halfback Bob Dehlinger, tackle J im Prestel and guard John Roussos making allPee honorable mention along with Jim Norton who also led the nation in pass interceptions.
