VICTORY CANE EASILY
REQ and Black Gave Ogden a
Severe WallOping.
GC0RE WAS 50 TO o
VISITORS WERE NOT DANGER
Gus AT ANY TIME.

Far in the distant future somebody
may !, able to tell how the hitherto
untran .eIed red and black was
"trailed in the r1ire of defeat" but to
judge from the showing of the Gala
han kids yesterday, it is not in the
cards. Two hundred rooters and eleven
educated youths tried hard to make
another story of it. They came all the
way from ogden. a northern railroad
settlement, and mostly from an insti-
tuition of learning called the high
school. where they teach geography
and history and science and algebra
Most OF them had never seen football
before. and with a vengeance that is
haunting to the memory they were
showed"
Fifty-two TO nothing And yet, when
it was over, these stalvsarts from up
country wrapped their colors round the
wounded heroes and walked with
sturdy tread out from the bleachers.
Aye, they smiled.
IL was just the right kind of day
for football, with a brisk almost pierre
ing wind playing over the field, catching
here and there the silken banners of the
cuntesthg schools, Or toying with the
flowing ribbons that bedecked the fair
er lOyalists from head to foot. But the
the 1.z0O hero worshipers who took to
the bleachers, nor was there any rea-
Scnable excuse for believing that q
funeral was passing, among those who
stood in the damp soil along the side
lines.
1t was to be another victory or an
oft-invited defeat for the invincibles of
the Salt Lake nigh school and every
body seemed interested. ogden sent a
delegation of sixty school Eirls to cheer
aa4r -f,s,t1z
either the triumphant red and black or
the equally Respondent. but unfortu-
nate orange and black Of the visitors
1t was a patriotic crowd from end to
end. and when they couldn't cheer for
joy-speaking OF the nortnlanders-
they cheered for sympathy Sometimes
they cheered for nothing, just to keep
warm.
Game Was Interesting.
From q professional standpoint the
game Wa much more interesting than
the score would indicate. While the
Ogden boys never Tor q moment were
DANGEROUS from the time the whistle
blew. there were so many sensational
plays that it kept Cne's nerves all
strung up to Follow them. When the
two teams came onto the field the To-
Gals seemed 10 have the advantage in
weight, but no one disputes that the
game was won purely on merit One
thing was demonstrated perfectly. The
Salt Lake high school has the strong
est team in its history, and today
would give any eleven in the state, no
matter how heavy or how we'll trained
that team might be, a very hard strug-
gle.
Through it all the ball was not on
SAT- Lake territory, except when kicked
or and the visitors made but one single
fve-yard gain III three downs, that one
being disputabie. Superior interior
ence, ginger, iightning-h6e and solid
formation, with the turtle-b back pre-
eminent, grit and general sensational
ism tell the story of the victory, while
lack of practice, coupled with Inferior
coaching and an unreasonable amount
OF lethargy is responsible for the de-
feat.
danier and bod" Ritter are the same
old stars, always in the right place at
the right time, and Howell is still the
stone wall of the Salt Lake asgrega-
ton.
Captain Smith a Sensation.
Farmer" Smith went for ninety
yards without opposition, scoring the
first touchdown in less than two min
utes' play In five r.linutes the score
was twelve 20 nothing, and then II
grew so rapidly that figures failed u
attract attention. Smiths dive over
the lire threw his admirers into an
other delirium of JOY. lt is play sell
dom attempted, but the captain GER
tainly has il 20 perfection.
