Idaho 0 - Pacific 20 COP may have added a Win to its record with its 20-0 triumph over ldaho's Vandals at Moscow, but in addi- tion it picked up a reputation which it had trouble shaking for the remainder of the season. There were many, and various gripes from Idaho sportswriters con- cerning alleged dirty football by the Tigers. The facts remain that the Myers-men played hard, rough football, but even the Vandal coaches agreed that Pacific's game was of the highest caliber. A. D. Williams caught a 23-yard td pass from Bill Iacobs for the initial score, with Swearingen converting. lunior Reynosa kept the scoring going with a nine-yard shot to Williams, who in turn lateralled to Gene Cronin, who Waltzed his Way to pay dirt. Later in the contest linebacker Farrell Funston snagged a stray Idaho aerial and rambled 92 yards un- touched but the play was called back for a clipping infraction. The final six came when Tom Perry fired a pass to Clyde Conner in the end zone. This game marked the first of three Homecoming games that Pacific was to play throughout the season, winning all of them.
