IrSy be considered al right by the Pa
Cific coast football teams. but 1T is not
tolerated by Utah elevens Time and
time again the lOca- men were tackled
viciously with what is known as a thrOt-
tie hold. and no penalty was imposed
he home team PLAYED remarkably
clean game, and it was doubtful II they
were once cautioned for smuggling or hold
ing.
Taking the game as a whole il was one
OF the best from every point of view seel
on a local gridiron for some time.
The teams were evenly matched and i,
was bitter fight for victory during the
whole time of play. Both elevens were
held for downs several times. and bou
teams were forced to kick. No mistakes
we're made by the opposing captains al
critical moments and the PLAYS were
called for that We're the greatest ground
gamers.
