Disregard for a moment what catches your eye intentionally and look at that beautiful clock in the background of this 1960 photograph taken at Neale Stadium before the an- nual Battle of the Palouse. Before all of these high-de nition instant replays and electron- ic clocks, teams would o en play with a wind-up clock keeping game time, score, down and distance. Does the backdrop look familiar? It should, as it’s the hill directly behind the Kibbie Dome, the one that leads up to the golf course. e Dome now sits exactly where Neale once did. One cannot help but wonder if there really are the remains of a cougar inside what seems to be a co n that these young Vandals sarcastically salute to as a pre-game intimidation tactic.
