TWENTY-sIX TO NOTHING
HALF-MOoN ATHLETES WON AS
THEY PLEASED.
High School Team Will Meet the
Park City Pigskin Chasers Tomor-
row-Washingto Defeat the
Tigers on the University Campus.

A combination of Trumbo Cyclones
and other asDirants for football fame
contested with the Crescents yesterday
afternoon and fell a swift and easy
prey to the half-moons. The Crescent
score rose sc high that it could scarce
~ be found, but in the end it was made
out to be &c to 0.
The game was played on the univer-
sity campus, and there were many,
many rooters present, so many in fact
that 1t took several minutes to I'm
tangle them from the players. The
view from the bleachers, which,
more or less crowded, was INSTRUCTED
utterly, and it would have taken a
platoon of Gorillas to have cleared the
field of enthusiasts.
The Crescents had an easy time of
it. They did not even have to exert
themselves, for in the first place. the
other team was about as light as
row of palmettoS, and secondly the
opposition was a poorly organized ag
gregation. The Crescents played gin
gerry and well-diciplined football, and
Showed they were ready to make
good battle for their erstwhile position
as champion football team of the state.
Playing the Cyclones was of course a
very different affair from what they
will have to do when they wage a con-
test with the Y NJ. c. A or the husky
eleven from Provo. Very few of the
Cyclones distinguished themselves, al
though the disadvantages of diminu-
tive stature and defective avordupois
prevented them from showing what
they could do in more equal contest.
Dunno, at right end, played the snap
piest game for the Cyclones, and exc
cuted some pretty taclIling SpecialtieS.
Smith was good with his foot, and
NOTstrom hit the hard Crescent line
with more or less vim.
The Crescents kept, the arena in
whirl. They went trooping down the
field in 20 and 80 yard leaps. The
O'Brien, found the line of the Cy-
clones too soft for utterance and
usually bucled their way as far as
they listed. Barker also threw himself
around the end for long gains, and in
every play the Crescents were aided
with staunch bulwark of interfer-
ence. Scare on the other end showed
lack of experience, and his way of
running back with the ball when at
tempting an end run is the kind of
PLAYING that results in large losses
and heavy falls when there is a good
end man on the other eleven. But
Scare tripped into all the plays in a
lively and speedy way, and his run to
! a touchdown from the 25 yard line was
very cleverly executed. There was
also merit in the playing of White
| head, the speedy quarterback
The play began with O'Brien's kick
to Blundell, whose form collided with
the campus close to the place where he
caught the ball. The Cyclones failed
to gain, and so the ball went back to
Simpson for kick, but as he was hard
pressed and his foot was slow he
changed his mind and threw it. Joe
Simpson was hurt and Swartwood took
his place.
The Crescents got the ball on downs,
and after few preliminary skirmishes
gave it to Scare, who carried the oval
from the 20 yard line to the place
where touchdowns are tailed O'Brien
missed the goal.
The next touchdown occupied about
five minutes. During this period,
Livingstone fumbled the ball and Nor
strom gathered it in. but the news
boys failed to gain. The second touch
down was made by O'Brien, who sue
ceeded this time in kicking a goal
The rest of the game was a continu-
ance of blocked bucks by the Cyclones
and long runs by the Creseents. When
the whistle of the refetee sounded the
end, Eph Barker had just completed
the sixth touchdown, which lifted the
score to 26 to 0.
