Point After Touchdown Gives Teachers Victory in Wild Passing Game

By: Idaho Statesman

BOISE, Idaho – With both teams displaying oodles of offense, particularly in the forward passing department, Albion normal defeated the Boise Junior College, 7 to 6, in one of the most spectacular games played at Public School Field this year.

A 38-yard pass early in the second quarter paved the way for Albion's touchdown, with Newman, halfback, lugging the ball over on a short plunge. Albion successfully kicked goal after touchdown, and this point later proved the margin of victory.

The Boise Junior College, also resorting to passes, laid the ball on the 3-yard line in the fourth period, and Kloepfer, quarterback, carried it over. The kick was wide.

40 Passes Attempted

A total of 40 passes were attempted by the teams during the game. Boise tossed 23 passes, and 10 were completed, with Albion intercepting two. Albion tried 17 passes, completing eight, and four were intercepted.

In the third period Boise intercepted a pass which stopped an Albion drive a few yards short of a touchdown. But Albion blocked a Boise drive on the 2-foot line in the same quarter.

Both teams played on even terms throughout. Much yardage was chalked up, and the game brought plenty of thrills to the crowd of about 500 spectators at the field.
