Interesting Throughout.
From the standpoint of interest to
the spectators the game was a most
interesting one. While the Aggies re-
sorted to futile onslaughts on the Utah
line, they held the ball but a COM
paratively short time, being forced to
kick on the third down. Utah's open
play and wide spreading formations
gave the rooters plenty of chance to
trace the progress of the play. Added
to the forward passes, the dashing runs
of Love, ROmney and Grant brought
the spectators to their feet time and
time again.
on the defense the Aggies were
good in the line, but could not cope
with the varied attack against the
ends
For Utah, Captain Tillie Olson and
Left Tackle Home were towers of
strength. Each broke through to throw
an Aggie for loss repeatedly. It was
Captain Oison's last game and he
played brilliantly.
Paddock were responsible for most of
the gains, and to them fe'l the honor
of the four first down. made against
Utah. For new men the Aggies to a
man played great bali. While time
was taken out many times, the Logan
lineup went through the game without
q change. Injuries to DOolittie and
Walker brought Loell and Korns into
the play for Utah.
Handicapped by small material and
many obstacles placed in the way Of
football at Logan on account of the
death of Evans in 1908, much credit
is due to Coach TeetZel for the eleven
he turned out The spirit shown by
the Aggie team and rooters was also
most creditable in the face of defeat.
It was the case of a better and faster
eleven, better drilled in the new game,
equaled only in gameness, against
opponents handicapped principally by
inexperience. The game will, however,
be remembered as one of the big strug-
giles on Cummings field. It comes as
a fitting close to the work of ]. II.
Maddox as coach.
