80, TAKE A PEEK HERE.
ylt"is Well TO take a peek at some
ngures compiled at Syracuse. They
are illuminating. They show better
than anything else why Maryland
won and Syracuse lost. Maryland
won largely because ii made fewer
mistakes.
! Syracuse made twenty first downs
| to two for Maryland. From scrim-
mage Syracuse gained 35i yards TO
SS for Maryland. Byrd's team made
4S yards on one play and twelve on
another. thus accounting for its two
first downs. On this comparison
Maryland doesn't look so good But
let's go on.
Syracuse fumbled eleven times,
Maryland not once. There you have
a fine peek into part of the reason
for Syracuse's failure. Maryland
handled the ball cleanly, thus being
ever ready to take advantage of the
opponents slips. And these slips
came no fewer than eleven times.
Syracuse tried sixteen forward
passes, completing three, Maryland
completed two out of four attempts.
The Orange succeeded a bit less than
once every four tries. Maryland sue
ceded half the time.
Syracuse lost thirty-siX yards in
'scrimmage to seventeen for Maryland.

of play between the two sets of for

NESBIT STOPPED GUIDE.
Syracuse made a dying attempt to
score a second touchdown in the final
period. carrying the ball straight

lack of football brains in trying to
carry the ball himself three times IN

In poundage the Central boys had
il all over the Westerners. The Mt

Westerns tackles who weighed 130
and 142 pounds respectively. 1t was
superior weight which allowed Cen
tral the edge in first downs.
Burke, the Western quarter, varied
his attack to such an extent that
Central was kept guessing. The IN
dividual performance of the Western
general stamped him rs the best
scholastic quarterback seen this sea-
son. He received excellent support
from Jones, Lamar and Dawson and
was ably assisted by Wright and
Conard. the Western tanker.
Il. JONES Is A STAR.
Berkeley Jones, Westerns 130-pound

plunge Jones proved the stumb ing

the taxpayers of the value of the
proposed system.

it's third reading and passed. The
ordinance provides for the inspection
of all buildings erected in the fire
limits and for rigid inspection Of

nance must be submitted to the coun-
Gil before permit will be granted

Bingham county has found out

or not. The county expended fifty
dollars in an investigation trying to

And at the close of trial in which
various and sundry members of that
community were embroiled more or
