Gonzaga students tone down the Mormon mocking against BYU Saturday

Spokane, Wash. • Gonzaga students dressed up as the Pope, King Arthur and a power ranger, among other characters, on Saturday night at McCarthey Athletic Center.

But no one dressed up like a Mormon missionary to mock the faith that owns and operates Brigham Young University, after officials and student leaders at the Jesuit institution asked students to refrain from the usual practice of wearing white shirts, ties and bicycle helmets earlier in the week.

Former Davis High star Jesse Wade, the returned missionary from Kaysville on GU’s roster, did not play in the first half.
