Powers Sees Injuns Stronger Than Bruins in Big Six
Twin Falls coach Hank Powers expresses doubt about his 1948 squad amid injuries and uncertain depth. He notes three regulars out with cracked fingers, cites returning lettermen like Jack Cross, Tom Flash, and Chuck Walls, and predicts the race will center around Nampa and Pocatello rather than Twin Falls. He says Idaho Falls looks strong but overall league strength is up and offense may lag last year. Schedule includes Oakley, Weber, South Idaho, Caldwell, Nampa, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and Boise games.
