Slipping. stumbling and falling, weight
ed down with mud from head to feet,
compelled to use ball literally made OF
clay and at times blinded by wind and
snow, Utah and the Soldiers battled yes
terday afternoon on Cummings field.
The result was a decisive victory for the
game five touchdowns were made but
none were converted into goals, so Slip
perry was the ball.
The score tells OF the respective merits
Of the two elevens and despite the fact
that the weather conditions made fast
football impossible, Utah outplayed the
Soldiers. II was the case of quick.
snappy eleven trained In both the old and
new style of football against men. who.
while older, and equally as heavy, were
not able to cope with the whirlwtnd plays
of the new game shot at them In many
forms.
Soldiers Have Backing.
The post people backed their team with
a spirit that told of every confidence OF
factory. Wagers flew thick and fast
and the call of time saw plenty Of Sol
der money uncovered.
While fighting an uphill game from the
first kickoff the Soldiers to a man
showed spirit OF gameness that won
many friends. The same spirit seen on
the field was seen in the east stands.
where 500 buff-coated enlisted men sang
and cheered until the final call OF time;
To win the University had to play the
best ball it knew how. Not yard was
gained without q struggle and when the
Fort eleven started a rush OF desperate
plunges through the line cries of Hold
'em, Utah" came from the cheering sec
ton of the students with a vim.
Fumbles played an important part In
the play, but luck broke even, only once
three times and recovered the ball each
time, did chance break against the Sol
diers.
1t was on the forward pass and runs
from an open formation that Utah made
ground. Line plunges netted small gains,
but the Soldiers fought hard and the new
game was found easier.
On two occasions when Utah rushed
the ball inside the Fort five-yard line 1t
took three downs to get the ball over
and the army team only failed by inches
from staving off the attack.
AS stars Of the game there were many
IN Cereghino, their 140-pound half, the
Soldiers had a wonder. Quick as flash
both on his feet and in diving through
holes he was responsible for most Of the
ground gained by the army. From the
stands time and again was heard the
wish that it was a dry field so that the
wonderful little back could have a better
opportunity.
Carey Plays Ball.
At quarterback Lieutenant Carey
played a wonderful game on defense, his
tacsling being particularly hard. While &
trifle slow in getting his plays away
Carey avoided fumbles and he followed
the ball at all times
Lieutenant Dixon at right end was {
tower of strength on defense and tbs
gains through him were small. Mulcahy
the crack kicker of the post, while un
able to show his ability, was responsible
for some good gains through the line:
Coach Maddock's freshmen showed thu
class that was expected of them. Rom
of Sweitzer and the running of the team
and ail-around hsady playing OF Love a
quarter told of coming stars.
Jack Loen, the former Michigan star
showed a fine knowledge of the game
and his handling Of Utah's def 'nse wa
| remarkable, as we'll as the skill will
which he executed the forward pass. Il
the playing of Captain Tillie Olsen, tn,
veteran of the eleven, the merit of hi
election on the All Western eleven wa
easy to see.
While but twice was Utah held 70
| downs, the Soldiers defense was al
ways stubborn and on the third dow
| a kick was usually resorted to.
A return game between the tw
elevens is awaited with great interes
with the hopes OF q dry field.
