The u. of u. got nary a point,
And they haven't Il word TO say.
Twenty-Five to a goose egg tells the
story of how the Academy team
treated the u. of u in their battle on
the west square this afternoon. The
roOters were out 200 strong, making the
hills echo with the Academy yell, and
Salt Lake sent down a bevy of young
men and maids to cheer the U. OF u
Early in the game the ladies from the
capital blew horns and yelled with an
enthusiasm that might be expected at
a meeting of anarchists, but when the
game closed their horns were thrown
away and their voices silent.

time appointed to begin the game,
waiting for one of the U. of U. boys
to make his toilet. the kick off was
made by GatehOuse at 2:30 p. m. Gate

the state and was soon given the name
of telegraph pole by the small boys.

those wearing the blue and red. In
the next effort of the Academy team
for d touch down their superior
strength was plainly manifested. Call

tivity. The wall of the L. of U. was
