MODERN FOOTBALL WINS OVER
OBSOLETE GRIDIRoN WORK.

ply OutclasseS a1IJtheT, but q hard
earned victory over a strong n stub
corn foe. The salt Lake High school
again demonstrated 20 the local public
that High school championships are
safe within this city so long as the red
and black are h champions selected
TO defend this honor. The Centennial
High school of Pueblo came several
hundred miles TO measure strength
with Galatians Kids" and when the
forty-hve minutes play was over, Gen.
tennfai. bruised and beaten, lay an
inert mass at the foot OF the citadel so
many teams have tried to storm and
failed.
IL was a great victory for the school
whose victories on the gridiron have
made 1t famous. II was a grand stTug-
gle by its defeated foe.
Centennial High need not go home
orestfallen that il did not accomplish
a e SO many have failed to do. 1t
made a valiant struggle and fought to
the last ditch, but football is q science
and the boys of Salt Lake are better
students than those Of Pueblo.
Modern Against the Obsolete.
1t was the new. open style of football
taught the West Siders by Callahan
that beat the old close formation plays
used by. Pueblo and discarded by Utah
as something obsolete. The quick
openings, lake bucks and end runs
against the constant hammer of n pom
derous formation. The latter style wins
only with excessive weight gains an
inferior line. Yesterday this was not
the case, as the two teams were ap-
parently evenly matched in this impor-
a n feature OF modern football. Salt
Lake players were quick because they
were coached that way. and their speed
won for them. The final score was "A
20 0.
Enthusiastic Crowd Present.
A better day for a football game
could not have been asked by the play
ers. 1t was rather cold for the specta-
tors, but little things like that did not
bother the red and black boys n
girls. Like the team, small obstacles
never stand in the way OF their enthu-
siasm, n they showed ii by giving
the boys better support in roofing than
has been seen in Salt Lake for many
a day. MOI were the Pueblo boys over

a red and white striped sweatered
youth lay prone upon the ground on
account of an extra hard Jolt. In in
stances of this nature. the injured play

and lads cheered for thef fallen enemy

Fumbtine Greatest Fault.
In spite of the fact that 1t was a great
contest. there were some faults 10 be
VA This can probably be set down
ia one WOrd-fumbliHg. 1t cost Salt lake
several goints in the first half and was
q great drawback TO Pueblo in the Sec
ond half. from the grand stand il may
seem easy to hold the hard. leathery
ball. but those who have received a jolt
amidships from 1U0 pounds OF hardened
bone and muscle know better. However.
fumbling by the team f0= which one is
pulling 10 win does upset ones nerves.
The best illustration of this was noticed
yesterday, when pueblo's mascot re-
lieved his feelings with an expression
not learned at the kindergarten. Dressed
I'm white, this younSster watched the play
from the Side lines with as much inter
had little TO say, but the constant chane-
ing Of expression a. Pueblo lost or gaiuc
easily told in what his whole being was
wrapped up. IN the second AaiI SAT-
Lake kicked, Pueblo fumbled and Salt
Lake got the ball again. The West
Siders duplicated tho kick and Pueblo
duplicated the tumble. giving the ball
10 the locals close TO the visitors goal
line. The mascot of Pueblo stretched
himself up TO his fun height "a the sec
0ud tumble occurred, and muttered the
first words he he'd spoken for half dn
hour. They were: "weli. III be id"
This expression spoke volumes ana
voiced the sentiment OF the crowd.
Judson's 1oo-Yard Run.
Salt Lakes first touchdown fairly took
the starch ogt Of Puabl0's sails. 1t was
an exact duplicate Of the touchdown
scored against Utah by Denver univer-
O'Brien sent the ball whiTling through
the air 10 Salt Lakes ten-yard line.
whore Il ut safe in Judson's arms. Tho
speedy Salt Lake back darted down tha
field. eluding the Pueblo tackleTs. for 4
distance OF an even hundred yards and
a touchdown. The time was exactly
twenty-five seconds after the whistle
blew.
Judson again distinguished himself in
tie second half with q seventy-yard run
Tor a touchdown. This time II was maUs
from the first scrimmage. after a kick
off, and, like the first. was u sensational
one.
Roberts in the LimeIight.
Roberto fiftv-yard run TO within 4
few yards OF the goal line was one OF
the best exhibitions OF ground gaining
under extreme difficulties seen during
the game. Breaking through left tackle.
he was set upon from all sides. knocked
down and tranpled on. but couldn't be
stopped. Once a Pueblo me grasped
his headgear. but quick as a flash Rob
erts released the protecting leather, leav-
ing Il in the hands OF the taCkler as he
dashed down The Held. lie was finally
downed. but fifty yards were covered
before the feat was accomplished.
Paul car=ht n kick from the twenty
five-yaru line and converted Il into a
forty-yard run for a touchdown in the
second hall. which was another spectacu-
lar play.
Tandem Buck Puebio's Play.
AS a rule Salt Lake made larger gains
than Pueblo. The more open tactics gave
them a chance 10 do this. Five and ten
yard gains were frequently made by the
locals while five YsrAs at ane trip was
the best Pueblo cow do. Pueblo's tam
dem buck was it's greatest play and was
used almost exclusively. Now and the
"a AXE play was tried and once only did
II do much good when five yards were
made.
The visitors tried a new one on the To-
calls. which was promptly dubbed the
ter kicks the ball from scrimmage1 nstead
OF passing ii 90 the back field for q punt.
He does II by kicking the bali between
the opposite center's legs and il worked
several times in yesterdays game.
