IDAHO SOUTHERN GAME IDAHO SOUTHERN BRANCH 7: MONTANA STATE 25 The first Bobcat victory of the season, at the expense of Idaho Southern Branch, was played under flood lights at Bozeman. The Bobcat football machine seemed to be in high gear for the first time of the season as they played heads-up ball throughout. They took advantage of all opportunities as they recovered fumbles and intercepted passes. Only once did they fail to score when the op- portunity was given. The Cats scored in each of the first quarters to monopolize all first half points. The third quarter brought on a Cat relapse, and the Bengals pushed over their only touchdown of the evening. Coming back in the fourth quarter with more power than ever before displayed, the Cats pushed the Bengals down the field to score two touchdowns in rapid succession. ln a game that was featured by team play there were no outstanding performers.
