Idaho dropped a seventh consecutive game to Washington State in the Battle of the Palouse, falling 3â20 at Rogers Field in Pullman.[4] Two years later, the Vandals won the first of three consecutive, their only three-peat in the rivalry series. The Boise game against Wyoming on the third anniversary of Armistice Day was attended by Governor D. W. Davis.[5]
The following June, Kelley left for the University of Missouri and was succeeded at Idaho by Robert L. Mathews.[6][7]
