crowd marched back TO their seats. still
defiant, with their flag at the head OF
the procession. Such was the demon
stration that was a part OF the features
OF yesterdays football game between
the Salt Lake High school and the uni
versity.
The Game Was one-sidsd
The game itself was by far too one
sided TO be of much interest, and after
the first minutes play II was a ques-
ton OF how big the score would be.
IL was the same old story, when one
team of big. strong players goes up
against a team OF light players: no mat
ter how near perfection they may be,
the latter must go down to certain de-
feat.
The High school team proved itself TO
be one OF the gamest crowds OF young
sters that ever trod a local football
gridiron. Time and time again they
played brilliant ball. Their team work
was we'll nigh perfection itself and the
spirit manifested by the players beat
anything for its grit and determine
ton that has been seen around this part
of the woods for many day. For
their weight they are hard to beat, ana
although numerically defeated yester-
day, they can rest assured that the
showing made won them many friends.
Against them was lined up a team
which viii go down as the best aggre-
cation that ever wore a varsity uni
form. Weakened by the absence or
several OF their best men, and entering
the game in a half trained condition,
one stops to wonder what they will be
when they line up for the big games Of
the year.
Varsity Plays With High School.
Coach Holmes aggregation simply
played with the High school boys
tossing them around by the handouts
in nearly every down. IL was not an
uncommon sight 10 see big Zillegan take
the High school players three at a time
and toss them out of the way OF play
that had been ordered through a certain
part Of the line. The High school boys
went at the big varsity players with
plenty of determination. but II ended
there. Hurled back from the force OF
he impact, the High school players
place would instantly be taken by an
other and another until at last the big
varsity man was brought to the earth.
Frequently, however, one or Coach
Boyle's men would get a good strong
hold OF a varsity man and down him
in his tracks. but this. as a rule. gen
orally resulted in more damage to the
High school man than the player
tackled.
Once, and once only, during the game
was the varsity compelled to kick on
the third down. and on this one oe-
casion the High school players We're
through the line in an instant and
blocked the kick. The rest OF the game
il was merely procession from where
the varsity got possession from where

High school make the five yards on
three downs and on every other occa-
sion IL was forced TO kick after a loss
on two downs.
Three times fne opportunities came
up for a try for a goal from the field.
and these were quickly tried AS often,
however, the buTly forms OF the var
sity went through the line as II it was
composed of so much paper and blocked
the kick ere it had left the fullbaek's
foot.
Nelden Plays Star Game.
Nelden for the High school played the
star game OF the day. This young Her
cuies hit the big varsity line time and
time again and frequently did good
work. He was opposed by Zilligan OF
there might have been a different story
10 tell. The big varsity tackle was toe
much for him. but did not in the least
dampen his a-dor.
In the latter part OF the game Zilli-
gan was taken out 10 give Dougan a
trial and then Nelden began TO get in
his work. The way he got into the
game was a caution and IN him many
a varsity man met his equal.
DYER at end also played 1ne gams
and went in under many play, bring
ing down the big fellows until he was
taken out OF the game. Pierce was
substituted, and ne showed up equally
as well as the man who had been re-
tired.
On the other end Davis looked after
his men well, stopping many run

fighting his way for several yards

Varsity Opens the Game.

count to come around. Two downs Tor
