Ii was great game. the greatest
game ever seen in Grand Junction.
Between 500 and 500 fans, calm at
/ first-locoed to the last degree at the
finish-saw the contest, grinned,
laughed. yelled, then mussed up their
hair, went cross eyed with glee and
threw their hats at the sky as a Salt
Lake player muffed the put out in the
last period, and lost the try for goal
in the last three minutes of the play,
thereby diyorcing the Mormons from
any chance to win.
II was a brilliant struggle. Teplete
with spectacular runs, long kicks,
forward passes and gritty work by
both sides. There were not many
bad fumbles, and the game lacked
the tiresome features sometimes eX-
hibited In a football contest.
On the Tiger team Anderson star
red with long end runs and showed
excellent speed, Trewin did wonderful
tackling and piled up many a Nor

get through and stand the Salt Lake
fellows on their heads was balm to

Lake line big enough to romp a

hit his man, however, there was
time out"
Rhone and Sills were always to be
counted on for star work with runs
and boot work. The former made
the only score that the Tigers needed
to win, when he caught l5-yard
forward pass from Captain Walker
while standing back of Salt Lakes
goal, and fell on the ball for a
touchdown. This play loosed the ma
niacal football spirit which never
died down during the contest. Fry
and Chapman also did Trojan work
for the Tigers.
