The Salt Lake High school athletes
continued their winning streak by wal
Looping the Ogden High school yesterday
by the score of 81 to 0.
This is the second defeat that has
been administered to the Ogdenites this
season by the local eleven, which has
succeeded in accommodating fifty points,
while their opponents have never come
within striking distance of the goal.
For once, the field was kept entirely
free of spectators, but this was not due
to the guards in attendance, but to the
horrible condition of the gridiron, which
was veritable mud-hole, with the mud
at least four inches deep.
After five minutes of play on this
qlagmire, the players were so coated
with the viscous substance that they
were wholly unrecognizable. Their
eyes were blinded their hair matted,
and, altogether, they presented a most
dismal aspect.
The game was too one-sided to be in
teresting.
The Salt Lake eleven gained wher-
ever it pleased. Every point appeared
TO be equally weak on the Ogden team.
The ends were encircled with as much
ease as ripping up the line at any point.
The line was constantly pierced for

Every position on the Salt Lake team
was as impregnable as stone fort.
Only once did Ogden succeed in gain
ing the necessary five yards in three
downs.
There was a chance for them to come
within striking distance at the very
opening of the game but the decision
of the umpire-an Ogden manifest
them this opportunity
| On the very first lineup with the
oval on Salt Lakes thirty-yard line,
Thomas, in his fervor. played off-side,
and the umpire. instead of immediately
ordering the leather to be surrendered
to ogden, inflicted a flve-yard penalty
or Salt Lake, and allowed them to re-
| tain possession of the ball.
| The best playing for ogden was done
| by Murphy and Burton.
The latter distinguished himself by
! his whirlWind open field tackling.
Every one on the Salt Lake eleven
played equally we'll, but Young, Tarpey,
Smith and Bunnell were especially con-
spicuous, on account of their brilliant
runs.
Youngs run was the most note
worthy.
1t is not a frequent occurrence for a
guard to break away from the line and
go fifty yards for touchdown.
The field was bright with the colors
| OIL the TWO ScnOOlS.
On one side of the field the Ogden
High school boys and girls were seated,
bedecked with ribbons, and proudly
waving their flags of yellow and black.
There were over hundred of them.
They had little chance to cheer after
the game commenced, for things were
not coming their way.
A crowd of pretty High school girls
was present to encourage their team

demonstrative over the victory.
Captain Taylor, as usual, won the
toss
He chose the south goal and gave
ogden the kickoff.
Burton, with his good right foot,
sent the spheroid sailing down the field
! for thirty-five yards. where Taylor
gathered it in, but before he could adj
vance at any distance. Scudder had
thrown him down like a log.
On the next play, Thomas became too
anxious and got off-side.
Smith, Bunnell, Tarpey and Taylor
now headed a procession down the
field. Nearly every run was for over
five yards, made through every old po-
Taylor carried the pigslzin over the line.
Howell kicked the goal.
! Score-6 to 0.
Burton kicked twenty yards to How
ell, who was turned down in his tracks.
The wearers of the red and black
again started for the Junction City
boys without gloves, and tore things up
in stunning style.
After fifteen minutes more of play,
Young scored touchdown. from which
Howell failed to get goal.
Score-11 to O.
Time was soon called, with the ball
in the center of the field.
SECOND HALF.
Howell could lift the soggy ball for
only fifteen yards.
This was the first time Ogden had
possession of the ball. and Turner at
tempted tosadvance it, but Tarpey put
him on his back in the deep mud in a
way that made the crowd yell with
joy
Murphy tore the line up the back for
three yards, but his side partners were
unable to make an impression, so the
leather went to Salt Lake on downs.
+ Pennsylvania's guard back" was now
brought into play, which resulted in no
gain, for the slippery ball was fumbled,
and Scudder fell on it.
Thornburg and Palsgrove gathered
in eight yards.
Salt Lake got the oval on a tumble,
and worked it down the field for a
touchdown.
Smith took it over, after a thirty
yard sprint
No goal.
Score-16 to 0.

his fifty-yard dash.
Taylor failed in his try for goal.
