annual Turkey day scrap at Ogden by

ambition OF setting a record score, Ward,
Oleson and Breckon were tearing UP the
field for big gains. and at the final wins
tie were in striking distance OF the Os-
den goal.
All OF the players put up their usual
good game, but the one player who de-
serves special mention for his defen
sivs is Wallace at tackle for Ogden.
This youngster WAS among the smallest
men on the field. weighing only 1875
pounds, but he continually broke his
heavier opponents and several times
tackled a Salt Lake back for a loss.
Even when his teammates lost heart In
the last quarter, he continued his con-
slstent playing. By outpiaying the high
school men, he earned a place on the
aIi-state eleven.

department OF the game by the fast Salt
Lake team. the Indians scoring almost

team made a stubborn defense. but In
the second half went 10 pieces. Only
once during the game did ogden have
a chance. This opportunity came in the
second half. when Ogden ran back the
kickoff twenty yards, and By pretty runs
added sixty more. Then tho Salt Lake
line held and the Indians quickly got
the ball on downs and Ogden was never
again dangerous. Lineup;

REX SUTHERLAND IS
VARSITY CAPTAIN
Dashing Quarterback Unani-
mouSly Elected to Lead
1913 Football Team.

Rex Sutherland has been unanimously
elected 10 the captaincy of next year 9
University of Utah football team, I'm
mediately after the game yesterday,
Coach Bennion called the letter men to-
gether and told them that In order to
prevent dissatisfaction which might re-
suit from campaigning he wanted them
10 elect next years captain while all
of them were together. Sutherland s
was the only name mentioned and re-
cclVcd the endorsement Of every voter
This Is Rex's third year at the uni
verslty and his second year as a mem
Der at the regular football team. He
received his first real training at the
Granite High school, where he gained n
reputation for having a good clear head
and being splendid managing quar-
terback. After leaving Granite he en-
tered the university in company with
Wld Ashton, last year S dashing full
back, Vic Hampton, Norm Hamilton
and Art Rhynearson, all Of whom are
backfield men at tho university.
His first year, Rex played quarter
back on the freshmen team. This was
the first year Of the freshman team
and the underclassmen went through
the high school schedule without a
single defeat. Last wear Rex had no
trouble in making the regular squad
and played a wonderful game at half
back and quarter. Again this year he
almost fell into place among the reeu-
lars and has played the best game of
his career. He is cool, nervy. fast as
and withall seems to be a
natural born football player.
Rex is highly popular among the play
crs and the students in general and
should make a splendid captain. This
year neither Coach Beunion and Man
ager Cameron voted, as they did in the
previous election.

champion was so dazed that ne had
nothing left but his fighting instinct
and was lashing out bllndly when he do
livered the punch that cost him his
crown.
AS far as could be Judged. Wolgast
was a beaten man, anyhow lie had

Foul Was Plain.

Wolgasts head cleared TO some ex-
tent and lie fought back. He swung
clumsily at the body, there being neither
direction nor force behind his punches,
He had Ritchie against the ropes once,
and kept him there by leaning on him,
and after couple OF wild lunges swung
his right into the San Franciscan's groin.
This was the blow that caused Ritchie
TO sink TO his knees.
Ritchie went down with an expression
OF pain on his face. he arose again but
kept in a stopped Lover position. There
was no occasion for him to appeal to
Referee Griffin for a ruling. for the
referee had seen what happened. With
out a seconds hesitation Griffin shoul-
dered Wolsast away and held Ritchie's
glove aloft, proclaimins that Wolgast's
foul tactics had caused a change in the
worlds championship.
Until the sixteenth round 1t was a
fairly even fight. For seven rounds there
was little 10 choose. and then Wolgast
took n lead. He seemed to be getting
livelier, while Rltchie was apparently
fading away. A whisper came around
the ring corner. however that Rltchie
was simply laying up on the advice Of

When the tenth round was nearly
