Game With Salt Lake High School
VIII Take Place at the Fair
Grounds Tomorrow Afternoon.

tomorrow, the padded warriors Of
the Ogden and Salt Lake High schools.
meet at the Fair Grounds on the
checkered field for the seasons final
contest. Those who are versed in
football lore. look for the fierccst bat
tie ever wagcd between these two riy~
al schools.
Ogden began the season with new
coach and a green team-a combina-
tion that usually spells defeat-but
Coach Brown and Captain Douglas
have labored unremittingly to whip
tho youngsters into shape. with the
result that sturdy aggregation will
defend the Orange and Black to-
morrow.
No team has trained more faithful
ly. and Ogden has taken out less time
during the games this year than any
other team. But one substitute has
gone In 10 replace a regular player.
only one injury Of any description
has weakened the teams effective
ness. and that is OF temporary ma
ture. a few more days OF rest and
Captain Douglas knee would be as
strong as ever. He will begin tho
game tomorrow, and the chances are
that the end of the first half will see
him still playing.
The teams record speaks well for
the system of training employed by
Coach Brown, as the eleven is now at
tho highest degree Of effectiveness.
The local fans were delighted with
the showing made against the strong
Granite team, who were able TO make
their distance but twice In the entire
n AaF-.al,r- .
two weeks ago was the best seen on
Utah gridiron this year
Of the men who are slated for no.
sitions tomorrow. Walter Smyth. the
center. has proven the find Of the
season. His passing is strong and
accurate, and he has more than held
his own with every opponent.
OF the two guards. Charles Smith is
a veteran, who has steadily improved
until he has acquired the technical
knowledge Of the finished player.
Checketts. the other guard. never
saw a football until last September
but he shows all the ear-marks of
coming player. He Is fast and ag-
gressiye and another years work Will
put him into line for first honors.
The tackles. Sample and Watson.
are whirlwinds, and will undoubted-
ly be chosen by the critics for the
All-Utah team They have torn great
rents in every opposing line. and
their work on offense and defense has
not been excelled by any High School
tackle
Johnson plays his last game tomor-
row with Ogden. This reliable end
represents the highest type of player
ono who sacrifices individual ambI-
tion TO the work of team. He has
displayed tine football instinct in siz-
ing up plays. while his work In re-
ceiving the forward pass and carry
ing the ball is frst-class.
Oldham. who started the season as
quarter. has held down the other flank
in brilliant fashion. He follows the
ball better than any of his team
mates, and, whenever a tumble oc-
ours, Oldham Is on the spot. and gen.
orally on the ball.
Moral in spite of his ineXperience,
has played a strong game as quarter.
His catching and running back of
Punts has been particularly good. and
as safety man his tackling has been
deadly.
or the back-tield men, Captain
Douglas. as full, has shown the great
est football knowledge. His work In
the Salt Lake High game was a rev.
elatlon. his line bucks averaging ten
yards TO the play
Stone and Evans arc both new at
the game. but they have made good
in the half-back positions Stones
end runs have been certain ground
gamers, and his defensive work In
the secondary line has made him pop
ular with the enthusiasts. Evans
speciality has been Undertaking. AT
which he has a sQuirming, twisting
style difficult for the opposing tack
les. He has one run OF seventy yards
TO his credit.
Boyle, the substitute back, is
freshman and has three more years
of football ahead Of him He Is big
and strong and Is rapidly developing
speed.
Meyer, who has taken Douglas
place at full. Is the curiosity Of the
year. Slight in form. he has bucked
the line for as large gains as any full
back. playing in the High school class.
and. what is more remarkable. he has
never been thrown towards his own
goal Pluck and fighting qualities
have more than made up for a lack
of ayoirdupois.
