They are q heavyweight team and
average about 1T5 pounds, and until
Yesterday had not met their match.
But when the Waterloo did arrive, it
came at the hands of an eleven that
was lighter by twenty -Hvel pounds, and
that had never before been considered
in the same class. The High schedules
won their victory by outplaying the
bulky Christians at every point of the
game They put up the prettiest game
of football that has ever been seen on
a Salt Lake gridiron, and no one
blamed the Christians for not being
able to stand up against it.
Interference Was Good.
The interference of the High school
tits was beautiful to behold. When il
started around the end, close locked, 1t
went for five yards or so before IT
was broken. And then the man behind
with the bali would glide away down
tie field for a long run that set the
crowd yelling and screaming The
work on defense was wonderfully i'm
proved since the last game, and the
advances of the Y. NJ. c. A. were eff
fectually checked. D. A. Callahan and
]. Allen Wheat, the two coaches of the
eleven, deserve a large part of the
credit for the perfect team work of
their proteges. They have taught the
that is invincible- Play followed play
with a rapidity that was dazzling.
Every man on the High school team
played a star game, played as if his
life hung in the balance. Ritter, the
quarterback, gave the signals with a
snap and a vim, and seemed to Know
just the right time 10 use a play that
would be of the greatest advantage.
~ no time during the game did he
lose his head, and he handled the ball
with a certainty that allowed of no
f-mbles. Captain Fred Smith ran
fiercely and pierced the Christians
line for repeated gains. Groesbeck.
the other halfback. ran low and hard
and when he struck a heavy Christian,
he bowled him over as easily as if he
were playing nine pins.
Adams, at fullback, was the right
man in the right place and got into
every play. The two ends, Howell and
Gardanier, registered several long,
spectacular runs, and HowellS punts
were brilliant. When a wild-eyed
Christian started TO skirt the ends, he
was invariably doubled up and thrown
to the ground. The two Tarpey
brothers played their usual game and
handled Henrotin and Barker without
gloves, opening up magnificent holes
time and again. Trent and Smith, the
guards, were strong and played low and
sure. The center, Worthen, threw his
heavier opponent around and did just
as he wanted with him.
Christians Individual Work.
The Best playing for the Christians
was done by Captain Dana Smith.
Scare and Nels MargeIts. Had the
rest of the team played as well, the
score might have been different, Smith
and Scare did nearly all the tackling
and were everywhere. Nels Margetts
was about the only one who could gain
through the High School line. but he
had very little support from his fellow
players Disastrous fumbes by differ
ent members OF the team cost the Y. NJ
c y much ground and aided in their
defeat considerably.
The field was perfect quagmire of
mud, and here and there little lakes
had formed that the men had to almost
swim through to make any progress.
Notwithstanding the disagreeable
weather there was a goodly throng OF
enthusiasts in attendance. wearing the

School rooters were out-in- full force
and split the atmosphere with their
yells. And when they tired. of yelling

their team. in which the pretty co-eds

but after the first few minutes OF play
the colors were lowered and the rooters
had no voice.
