Although the soldier? outweighed their scholastic opponents by a pood twenty pounds, the skill and team work of the college team made, up what they lackeld- 1 in ; weight. Ald-ed by pretty interference, I the sivif.t-footed backs went around the ends gains of five and ten yards. , f And "when they tired of . running. the ends they went at the line, never fail-s fail-s ing to go through for good gains. "Tiger" Tallon! the quarterback fcr the college, pliyed like a fiend, and when he was taken froni the field with an injured shoulder just a minute be- fore the end of the second half, he in- ' ' sifted that'he inust play the game to a finish. He showed grit that is seldom exhibited on a football field. "Weak and i almost unable to stand, he frroaned: i "Let me into the game," while his i friends held him toack by main rorce. "Tiger"'.iade the first touchdown, after a run of eighty yard-5 down the field on the first kir-k-off. Try as they could, the soldiers could not retain their hold of him, and he ran almost the length f the field for a touchdown, passing every man of the cavalry eleven. Once again, when the soldiers had the ball within a foot of a touchdown, he made a pretty steal of the ball from the runner run-ner and went up to the center of the held with it before they could stop i him. The two Fanning brothers played as ihey have played for the past four or five yoars-'-a swift, aggreseive game i that is invincible. Wolohan and ; Downey, the two ends, were lleet and vigilant, and it was at very rare inter- l vals that a dusky warrior managed to j vfule them.

In the last half they played I much faster ball, but it had very little i system to it. and the team work that was manifested early in the game became be-came all frayed cut at the ends, until the'e was nothing-left of it. Ringo was I tk-ir best ground gainer, and he had a way of jumping, the line that always insured him live yards gain. Anderson and Fatten exhibited the same propen-t-ity. but in a less, pronounced form, j Roth of tbem were good line buckers. j "While the work of the backs showed j hard training, the line hardly played J as well as during the game with the.

It was plainly i nnd unmistakably a forward.pa.se every t time that it was used, but it was not ( penalized, despite the protests of the I Mudents. There were other decisions, I also made by the referee, that were new to this neck of the woods. Twice when I the ball was within a yard cf the All Hallows goal,' Tallon saw his oppor- , tunity and gently re.Tioved the ball I from the clasp of the cavalryman, be- fore the l-eferee's whistle had blown, I and before the runner, had said down. iOn both occasions the referee gave the bail back to the soldiers, with the in- j junction that there was to be no more I stealing of the ball. One of these de- i cisions gav the soldiers a touchdown. I once when the opinion of everybody on I the grounds was that it was the college ball, stolen cleverly and well earned. Defensive work on the part of both S elevens was not what it ought to have J been, considering their advances on I offense. Both teams allowed big sains i to go through any and every position. ! I The line of the college team played low. j I but Kingo's jump served him in good stead, nnd he' went over them more i I easily than he would have been able to i i had the men in the line played higher, j I There was considerable wrangling from I both of the teams, none of the merr being be-ing willing to let their captains do the talking. ,A" very rsmair band'1 of spectators watched the v0 est, most of them be- J Sergt.

"'r 'Z: V Game In DetaiL: f All Hallows won the itoss and chose the west goal. Henderson "kicked lo Tallon, who was back , almost to the goal line.. Tallon tucked the oval unde,r his arm and started up jhe field on one of the prettiest runs ever seen in Salt Lake. One after another the soldiers dived for him, and one after another they were bowled over, while Tallon kept going down the field for a touchdown. touch-down. He planted the ball between tlie posts in less than a minute after the Captain Fanning and His Mascot Hat game began. J. V. Fanning missed an easy goal, and the score stood 5 to 0.

Barton and Anderson took the ball down the field j with gains of three and four yards until j they were within three yards of a touchdown. They tried to make it. but Tallon stole the ball. Referee White i saw something wrong in the play and passed the ball over to the soldiers. They made another try at the goal, but fumbled and McKenna fell on it. All Hallows took a magnificent brace, and by a fake kick J. P. Fanning made ten yards and the ball was out of danger. dan-ger. - By steady gains and a very pretty criss-cross between J. P. Fanning and Downey, the ball was taken back to the .center of the field. Tallon tried to manipulate a quarterback kick, but Bingo walked through the line and stopped it. In the mix-up a soldier fell on the ball. The warriors then inaugurated inaugu-rated a series of bucks that carried them down the field and Barton went over for a touchdown. Henderson missed an easy goal, and the score as 5 to ". Tallon kicked to Barton and the ball j oscillated between the two teams for ; the rest of the half. There was a dis-' dis-' cussion as to the correctness of several decisions. McKenna badly , injured his linger and the half ended with ball on the soldiers' ten-yard line, and In All Hallows possession. Second Half. In the second half the work of the two Fannings pushed the bal down to the line and over, wrapped in the arms of TonV Fanning. Tallon missed goal, and the score was 10 to 5. After the Kick-off they went at it again, and soon went over the line for another touchdown, touch-down, made by Tom Fanning. Goal was again missed by J. P. Fanning, making the score 3 3 to 3. The soldiers woke up at this point of the game and went down the field and nearly over when Tallon stole the ball and skated up to the middle of the field before he stopped. Through the decision of Referee Ref-eree White the ball was taken back and the play counted as a touchdown for the soldiers. Henderson missed goal, and the-score stood 13 to 10. When the oval was kicked oif again the soldiers started down the field in earnest, and the game ended with the ball in their possession, and within two Teet of another an-other touchdown. It was during one Of the last scrimmages that Tallon was hurt and had to leave the game. The line-up follows: All Hallows. Soldiers. Downey L. K Taylor T. Canning L. T. Carter Findley L.
