Sleep But Is So Used Up That He
Has to Be Carried Dat.
CBy Telephone to The Herald.)

made up of sporting men from all over
the district and outside towns turned
out to witness the finish fight at Odd
Fellows hall here this evening. Before
the main event of the evening was
pulled off a few good preliminary
bouts were given. The first, between
Charles Williams, the winner of the
Thomas Williams contest, and Tom
REILLY, n welterweight, was a four
ound go, and, considering the difference
in weight in favor of Reilly, was ex-
tremely good.
Next was a four-round go between
young Squires of Salt Lake and Ray
Barney The contest was called a
draw by the referee. but Barney had
decidedly the best of it, putting up an
excellent scrap.
The main event came next. Young

was called, Referee Holmes made his
usual announcement with regard to
clinches, etc, and stated that if there
was anything >savorirg of fake the Of
ficers had been instructed to arrest all
concerned.
The fight throughout was a red-hot
smuggling match, and although short
was highly interesting. Thomas was
put to sleep in the third round. In the
first round the men went after each
other. and for awhile Thomas stood his
ground, but appearances indicated that
he had the worst of the scrap.
Both received blows around neck and
face. once falling heavily to the floor.
In the second round they were both
groggy. but landed repeatedly, and
again fell. The third and last round
was fierce, both being badly bruised.

the time being. After the game the
trouble broke out again and the friends

dire threats. but made no attack.
Just One Touchdown.
The only touchdown of the day was
made just three minutes after the ball
was put in play, and it required gust
three plays on the part OF the Univer-
sity to make it. Brown made a short
kick TO Phelps, who was Immediately
downed by Patterson. Three trials
were made at the University line and
the ball went over TO the Varsity on

such variations in less than carload

that st. Louis and middle western job

In making the reduction from the

the summit will be necessary. 1t Will
likely be 500 or 900 feet long, some OF
which, at least is believed. will be
through solid rock. This work Will cost
a large amount of money, but it is IN

Varsity Braces.
The University took a brace and sent
yelling around the end for four yards,
and their mass formation went through
tackle for fifteen yards more, with Ri

Patterson fumbled the ball, but recov-
cred it with no loss, and yelling
pushed out a small yard through
tackle. A pretty quarterback kick of
twenty yards was made by Taylor, but
a soldier got the ball.
Gains of three and four yards were
made by the soldiers for a few min
utes, and then they lost their hold and

downs. By short runs of two and three
yards the Varsity forced the ball down
to the five-yard line, and they were in
fair way for another touchdown when
time was called.
The second half opened with Hender-
son kicking to yelling, who wriggled
through ten yards before he was
downed. Nelson started out to go
around the end, but Williams was watt
ing for him and dropped him with no
gain. Brown bucked guard. but there
was no hole there and he was pushed
over for a scant yard. Riser made six
through tackle and Jones made bril-
liant play by running backwards for
the same distance. Riser went out of
bounds and the ball was given to the
soldiers. Ringo and Williams made sew
eral good gains, but they couldn't hold
the ball and it again went over.
1t was a steady march up the field
again until they reached the twenty
yard line, when Riser was hurt and had
to retire. The ball was given to the
soldiers on an off-side play, and the
game ended with the ball in their pos
session and on their fifteen-yard line.

WESTERN EXTENSION.
Work of Grading Between Belknap
and Marysvale Being Pushed.
Especial Correspondence


Richfield. Nov. 13.-Henry Roylance
of Springville, who was awarded the
contract for grading the new road. has
been in town for several days making
sub-contracts for the building of the
railroad from Belknap to Marysvale.
These have nearly all been let. and Mr.
Roylance will send down his outfits
Wednesday.
The first contract calls for three and
one-half miles. and although there will
be some very heavy fills and deep cuts
it is expected to have that portion of
the road completed by the first of the
coming year. The remaining portion
of the road, it is expected, can be COM
pleted by the 1st of March.
The road will be built with as few
curves as possible, and the roadbed will
be put in the best condition, which con-
firms the opinion that the Rio Grande
Western contemplates Marysvale az
only a temporary terminus.

Patterson,s Good work

Patterson. the little quarter back of
the University. was always where there
was a tackle to be made, and he in
variably bowled his man over, regard
less of size, strength or any other con-
siderations. His tackles were low and
sure and several times he threw men
thirty and forty pounds heavier than
he back a yard or two for loss. Art
Taylor. the Varsity right half back,
played a steady game throughout. and
whenever he took the ball spectacu-
lar run around the end for long gains
was assured.
The other half back, Riser. played a
snappy game and made several long
runs. He scored the only touchdown
of the day after dash of forty yards
that set the crowd wild. The most eff
fective formation employed by the Uni
versity was mass on tackle that is
made up something like a turtle back,
but is quicker at starting. 1t was
always good for gains of ten and fif-
teen yards.
All OF the good work done by the sol
diers was purely individual work, and
although il was pretty TO look at il did
not cover the ground Williams, Ringo
and Barton. the three backs. are all
good men, but they do not-play togeth-
er and have no support. The line of
the cavalry team was strong and
proved a barrier which the University
found almost impossible. The line men
all play low and get into every play.
Whenever Varsity back went at
the line he met with opposition that
often forced him back and at <he best
allowed him very little gain. With
competent coaching the team could be
made one of the best Of the local heavy
weight elevens. The material is there,
