the. freshmen seemed To lose. All hope.
For several years there has existed
great rivalry between the Salt Lake and
Ogden high schools and students Of tho
local institution were strong in their
support or the freshmen. Both the salt
Lake and Ogden schools are represented
by especially strong teams this year
both teams wero seen in action yester-
DAY and the public was given good
chance 10 judge OF the respective merits
OF the teaIns. a true estimate OF their
respective strength cannot be made from
yesterdays game. as the Rcd and Black
their best efforts against Jordan, while
Ogden did its best TO win from the
freshman team.
The reports that for the last two
cut out all scrmmagc work were re-
fnted when at tho end OF the game the
Ogden,es were in splendid condition
and at no time in the game had they
shown any marks OF physical distress.
The freshmen. on tho other hand. al
though they have been practicing faith
fully and have had much scrimmage
work, were In poor form. After the first
quarter 1t was evident that the fresh
men boys were tired and thot their wind
was poor. II is due TO this lack Of con-
dition more than TO all other reasons
combined that The freshmen were de-

Ogden Men Had Experience.
Coach Brown Of Ogden was fortunate
This fall in having an almost entirely
veteran squad and was able to spend
much time In teaching his men effec-
tive plays and In perfecting team work
rather than teaching the fundamentals
Of the game. Nearly every one of the
plays run Off by Ogden were shift plays
and from the rapiditv and eXactness
With which They were executed II is
plain that the men were we'll trained
and had been practiclng hard
Although some OF Browns men showed
up better than others, there is no doubt
but that II was the team work and not

Freshmen Lacked Team Work.
Barring the poor condition OF the
freshmen, il Is difficult to tell Just where
they are weak. In the first place there
is not man OH the team who played on
last years freshman team and most OF
them arc playing their first games this
season. For this reason Coach Pitt had
teaching the fundamentals of the game
and was forced TO slight the develop
ment OF the team work and the forma-
tion of effective interference. The men
TO be familiar with each others style
and had TO depend entirely too much on
individual work TO make gains. In the
line, the freshman team had little the
few gains through the center.
On offensive work, Quarterback Mo-
ran was easily the star OF the day, while
Captain Goodspeed of the freshman team
stood head and shoulders above any man
on either team on defense Moran's
quarterback runs were the feature of the
high school games last year, and he Is
even faster this year. Almost every time

as much as thirty Yards. He also eX-
cclled in puntins, Moran is also a clever
place kicker, six OF Ogden's points result
ing from that source. In the last two
minutes OF play, Ogden had run the ball
from mid-tleld 10 the twenty-five yard
line. from where Moran made a place
kick from very difficult angle.
Goodspeed Was a Star.
Goodspeed proved the best halfback in
the high school division, due 10 his
splendid work on defense and his ability
to hit the line, On several occasions he
broke up the interference and got his
mar, when 1t looked as though nothing
would stop Ogden from making long
gains. He Is fast on his feet being the
only man. who was able TO catch Moran
from behind.
For Ogden, Evans, Rcberg, Sample and
Captain Walt Smyth played good games
