Long Pass in First Quarter Gives St. Joseph Only Score of Battle

By: Idaho Statesman

BOISE, Idaho – A long pass, flung with a spiral and a prayer was tossed Thursday afternoon at Public School Field by Nydigger, St. Joseph's parochial school halfback, into the waiting arms of Johnny Orbea, galloping end. Orbea raced 15 yards to a touchdown that defeated Boise Junior College, 6 to 0.

The score came in the first quarter of a bitter struggle waged as a holiday feature of Columbus Day. With the execution of the break that meant points, the teams fought each other to a standstill, punting, passing and plunging savagely without denting tight defenses.

Score in First Five Minutes

It was the Saints' ball on the 50-yard line with the game only five minutes underway. A buck was stopped dead at the line. Nydigger faded back and heaved a sailer down the field. Junior college backs were caught short. Orbea and a mob of Saints tore for the goal line and dragged the pass down.

Just before the end of the half, the college bore within the 10-yard stripe and failed on a touchdown pass when Shaw stepped out of bounds on the yard line and the ball dribbled off his fingers.

College Efforts Turned Back

Again in the third quarter a college drive was snubbed within the 10-yard zone. Kloepfer, Martin and Shaw bore the brunt of tackle and end plays.

A punting duel in which the college had a slight edge was the entire story of the last quarter.

The college, playing its first game under the coaching of M. "Dusty" Kline, used the Boise High School style. A heavy St. Joseph's line gave no quarter, forcing a more open game.
