Line Does Good Work.

The L scrubs trimmed the Salt Lake
High school team yesterday afternoon on
Cummings field by a score of % to 0.
Both teams put up a good game and 1t
was a ha~rd-fought contest. Although the
High School boys were outweighed and
up against more experienced men. many
of whom had played on the High School
team in years past, they played a plucky
game.
The scoring started early in the game
when the L team rolled the ball over
after a series of line plunges that took
the team slowly but surely down the field.
The second score came after the bail had
been played by both sides in the middle
OF the field for some time. Jessup got
away for a long run around left end, and
after a few bucks by Watson and MOyle
the latter was sent over for a ouchdown.
During the last part of the half the west
siders rallied and twice threatened the
L goal, but they fell short each time
within a few yards of the goal.

striking distance Of the L goal. but lost
the ball on downs. The scrubs then
started for another touchdown and the
west sidecs could not head them off.

showed over for the third touchdown. The
next score came after a succession of line
bucks by KaTrick. MOyle and Jessup.
The High School was handicapped some

men who are on the hospital list. The
backs played a plucky game and the line
men put up a hard fight against their
heavier opponents. Wheeling. the High
School fullback, did some good punting.
