BEE-MARKS •By the Editor MIDVALE, UTAH • We will have to cut this "column tripe" rather short this week, as we have been very busy getting out the high school paper, gobs of candidate cards, etc. And besides, ideas are scarce, due to the fact that there is nothing of public interest going on except the war, the city election, rumors of another strike, and such like.

Broadcaster) When Jordan and Granite square off against each other Friday at 2:00 p. m. on the local campus in the twenty-ninth renewal Of their traditional rivalry, a rare battle will be the prospect. The Farmers, with high hopes for the first victory in s.tx years, take the field on even terms with their Beetdigger rivals. A crushing defeat of Murray, last Friday, by a 22 to 0 score, reveals the power of the Sutherland team. "Snide" Taylor's protegees, after a 7 to 0 victory over a stubborn Tooele eleven, are ready for anything. Granite has shown a versatile attack so far this year. The Farm- ers have scored on sustained drives featuring straight football, lon: passes, and interceptions. The Farmers have always presented a stubborn defense and a hard tack!ing team. Jordan's mode of attack is uncertain at present. Much will depend on Vaughn Kimball's eligibility. With Kimball in the lineup, an open game is in prospect·, if not, the fans may expect a revival of powerhouse plays, with Crane and Johnson endeavoring to hammer Granite's line into submission. School will be closed for the state teachers' convention, but buses will run to bring the stude.Rt body to the game. Students should contact their bus drivers for exact information.
