Captain "TilIie" Olsen and iaTfnv''
Home showed up in their old time
form. On the whole the Utah team is
one Of the best teams the varsity has
turned out during the coaching career
of Coach Joe Maddox
The stars Of the High school team
were less conspicuous than on the
Utah squad on account OF their disad-
vantage in weight, but they will un-
dOUbtedly make hard fight for first
place the coming season. Watson and
Sample at the guard positions are
strong men and should make an excel
lent showing against a team Of their
own weight Johnson and Stone on
the ends and Captain Douglas at full
back are good men and will make a
fight for hOnCrs In the High school
class during tae coming season.
