TOUCHDOWN WAS EAS'


A MID piercing feminine screams
n about "cat trap" and a rat
trap" and hoarse, persistent yells
about What tell d. we care?" from
several hundred wildly excited stu
dents, the eleven of the Salt Lake High
school defeated the Ogden aggregation
by a score of six TO nothing at Walkers
field yesterday afternoon in one of the
most intensely exciting and bitterly
contested struggles that has been seen
on a local gridiron this season.
Matched in weight and endurance, and
tutored to the point of thorough mas
terry of the game, the tiger-striped
bunch from Ogden-town contested ey-
cry inch of ground that was gained by
their metropolitan adversaries. And
In the brace they made in the last,
only the phenomenal defensive powers
of the Salt Lake aggregation prevent
ed a tie.
Long before 3 o'clock color bedecked
students began pouring into the
grounds. A typical autumn afternoon
assisted by a paucity Of dust, added
TO the exuberance of the students, and
several hundred chung franctically 10
the ropes during the progress of the
game and surged boldly out on the field
in the latter half. A special train from
the north brought a strong supply Of
''rooters" with the Ogden team. and
from the time of their arrival yells
and colors ran reckless through the
town. Enthusiasm and numbers were
about equally divided at the field, and
bugles and cat-calls added TO the gen
eral pandemonium which reigned for
two hours without interruption along
the sides of the field.
Shrill Feminine Voices Shout Defiance
ShriIl feminine voices shouted def
ance at their opponents. and sang "cat
trap" songs Of encouragement TO their
heroes. Ogden girls yelled and
screamed, and girls from Zion town
shouted derision in return. Salt Lake
boys with large carnations and stream
ing eolors shouted themselves hoarse,
but got better than they gave from the
enthused lads from the other place.
Enthusiasm became so beliigerent
along the side lines that a fist fight
ensued. and was only terminated by
the action OF Coach Boyle and others,
who elected the participants from the
ropes. Otherwise the roofing" though
wildly enthusiastic, was peaceable.
The local team scored within five
minutes of play, and assumed the ag-
gressive during the rest of the half.
But ogden took a wonderful squirt at
the last and kept the ball in Salt
Lakes territory almost the whole Of
81 h. ola ha "a m
in a state of desperate defense TO pre-
vent a score. Three times did the
black and yellow gradually force the
ball down the field as far as the Salt
Lakes five-yard line, and as many
times were they repulsed and sent back
into the middle of the field by the mas
terful defensive work of Salt Lakes
line and the wonderful punting pow
ers of Moore, the local fullback.
Hard Work to Advance Ball.
Long runs were few. The ball was
advanced by both teams by slow de-
grees and arduous work. Ogden, how
ever, with a few exceptions, only
gained by hurting a bunch OF men into
Salt Lakes Iine. Then the gains were
only for a few yards. and more fire.
quently resulted in no gain at all for
BILE to the fierce onslaughts Of the Og-
den backs.
Sensational and stellar features de-
veloped during the progress OF the
game, and aside from the almost per-
feet team work on either side, numbers
OF individual plays wrought the gang
of rooters into a state of partial fren-
Zy. Jones tackling for ogden and
Scudder's terrific line plunges, together
with Horns and Farley's tackling.
caused maddening yells from the Og-
den side. Harcom also came in for a
share Of the glory of the day with the
\ Weber bunch Scudder's phenomenal
| run through Salt Lakes line was one
of the best plays Of the day for either
/ team.
For the locals. extraordinary team
work was always apparent and the
work of Richmond, Bero and Nelden
: n the line showed the state of devel-
/ opment to which they have been
| brought. Moore. Pitt and Webb be-
hind the line performed splendid serv-
/ ice in gaining the victory. Bero saved
a score from ogden by downing the
runner in his tracks with the ball on
Salt Lakes Vineyard line. Richmond
/ did likewise in breaking through and
stopping an advance with the ball In
the same place Moore's kicking nbil-
( ity placed the goal out of jeopardy
at another time and sent the sphere
way out into the field.
Nelden Does Good Work.
Nelden frequently went through Og-
( den's line and downed his man be-
/ hind the line, while other members OF
the team performed similar feats. Not
one of the Salt Lake team was laid
| out, with the exception OF Moore, who
I showed up, however, before the two
minute limit, while, on the ether hand
\ three Of the Weber lads were retired
as a result of the terrific pace that was
set from the beginning. At the end
they appeared as fresh as when the
whistle blew for the beginning.
Few fumbles were made and prac-
tically no gains made by judicial de-
cisions. The game was won on It's
merits aad showed two teams which
were as evenly matched as It is pos
sible to be. Efficient coaching and
| splendid generalship won the game fol
/ the Saints, while the fierce determine
/ ton OF the others almost secured a tie
/ Ogden tried at goal from the field and
/ failed, but afterward showed the bal
slowly down the field time after time
| to the five-yard line where they were
held firmly.
