Although both teams lost their games last Snturriav, the Cougars dropping a eam to Michigan State and the Penn Staters losing to Pittsburgh in a big upset, this should not detract in any manner from the Tacoma meeting. The Cougars will be going all out to take the Lions into camp, with no punches pulled. The Cougars were a surprising team this year In Pacific Coast conference play as they proved the pre season Dickers to be all wrong. Before the season they were slated for a cellar position in eighth or ninth place.

Instead they finished the season in third place with California and Oregon tied for first and Southern California in second place.

Tbe unbeaten streak began on the first game of the 1946 season when the Irish pounded Illinois 26-6.

SOCE's Red Raiders from Ashland counted first in the game played before 2,500 fans in rain that fell through most of the contest. A pass interception on the Idaho 30 started SOCE on Its way and Charley Jandreau plunged the final yard for the touchdown. The conversion try was no good. The Coyotes came back fast. Farley pitched 21 yards to Tom Winbigler who ripped off 40 yards for the score.

Rich Gardner's conversion put the Coyotes out in front. In the second period the Raiders moved into scoring position on a pass, Jandreau to Rlggs, good to the Idaho 7. Jandreau then pitched a scoring pass to Jerry Edwards in the end zone and Jones converted. This was only a brief edge for Southern Oregon co-champions of the Far West league for Farley tossed another touchdown pass with Glen Ward receiving and stepping off 40 yards to the pay off stripe. Again in the second period, just before the gun, a far- ley to Bob Lee toss the third aerial in a row scored and the tally was 21-13 for the Coyotes.

Again Southern Oregon narrowed the gap by stealing the ball from College of Idaho an powering through the line. Barney Riggs hit the line five times in a row for 20 yards and the score. Jones converted. Idaho was still one point ahead, however, and a Farley to Ward pass -that with the run went for 50 yards was the clincher. END OF THE LINE SAN DIEGO, Nov.
