Fenn fumbled the oval but recovered It and by a clever dodging dodg-ing run made about forty yards before being downed by "Wade and Russell.' Some of the Shining Lights. Stellar performers were plentiful. For the 'varsity. Captain Wade. "Cuddy" Ttusscll, Fred Bennlon and Peterson shone as the particular stars. Every man on the "U" team behaved credlt-nbly, credlt-nbly, but the above men are especially deserving of praise. m,Wade D,avcd the game of his life, "he little quarter-back not only carried car-ried the ball beautifully and assisted in the interference but he handled his team In faultless fashion. He was not long In discovering the weak spots In the enemy's line, and pounded them plentifully, although he was careful to vary his tactics in order that the Aggies Ag-gies might not concentrate their defense. de-fense. He was everywhere. Into every play, working hnrd, and at the same time studying his opponents' strength and weaknesses. Bermion's Great Kicking. Bennlon played a strong offensive game and bolstered up the line In magnificent mag-nificent fashion on the defense. He did more work In checking the Aggie rushes than any other man on the Utah team. But where he shone particularly was In kicking. By means of his good right leg Bennlon registered eight points for the 'Varsity, besides- earning them many yardo on punts and kick-offs. He kicked two of the prettiest field goals ever en Id this section of the country, one from the thirty-five-yard line and one from the fifty-yard line. The last goal seemed almost Impossible on account ac-count of the distance, but Bennlon, In quick fashion, shot the ball squarely between the uprights safely above the cross-bar. Husscll, Peterson and Brown were 3trong both on dffense and defense. Russell was particularly good at carrying carry-ing the ball and earned many yards for his team. He played a brlillant defensive de-fensive end. Captain Madren, Fenn and Roberts were the shining lights on the Aggie team. Madsen was the strongest ground-gainer on the vlslllng eleven and was a bulwark on defence. Fenn Wasn't Big, But Quarterback Fenn, the smallest man on the Logan team, played a brilliant game. His judgment was good and he made up what he lacked In pounds by earnest effort. Roberta, the left end of tho visiting team, was one of the best men In his position that has played here for a long time. Hly tackling was sure and hard and he had a way of working his way through the "U" Interference that brought delight to the wearers of the blue and "white. Mortenscn and Jar-dine Jar-dine were also strong. "TJ" Team in Grand Shape. The'Varslty team was In magnificent condition. Not once during the seventy minutes" of play war time taken out to allow a "U" player to recover his breath or rest. It was largely due to their superior physical condition that the locals won so easily. Coach Campbell's men, on the other hand, were In poor shape. The Aggies had Just returned from a trip to the coast where they played five hard games In about two weeks. Almost every man on the Logan team was sufT fering from wme Injury received while away. However, the condition of the two teams did not alter the result of the game, though It probably affected the score. Maddock's men could have won had the Aggies been In perfect physical condition. A Pretty Crowd. The crowd was the closest resemblance resem-blance to an Eastern college turnout that hao ever been seen here. .The west bleachers were one mas of waving red and white, the university colors. Nearly 1000 'Varsity rooters were huddled in this section and led by Yellmaster Fair-child Fair-child Sherman, kept up a continual roar of applause during tho game. Directly ncros the field were the Aggie Ag-gie enthusiasts, about COO strong. The blue and white way everywhere and the Logan enthusiasts urged on their players play-ers with cheers and sjongs until the final call of time. Two braso bands were in attendance, but the blare of the Instruments was almost drowned by the cheering of tho enthused students. Good Sph-it Prevailed. Throughout the game tho 'Varsity and Aggie rooters exchanged compliments by means of snappy yells and college TOHgs, but not once did either crowd show anything but the beat of spirit. The players on each team were applauded ap-plauded almost alike and there was no evidence of the III feeling that has existed ex-isted between the two schools in the past. It was a pretty scene and one that goes a long way toward fostering a respect for athletic contests In the heart of the layman. The game Itself was marked by an absence of rough or dirty Dlavlng. Both elevens worked strcnuousry, but nothing but clean football tactics were employed. em-ployed. There was no slugging nor at-ternnta at-ternnta to win bv foul means. First Blood for tho "TJ." Just before the game, two youngsters, clad In the colors of the two schools, trotted out upon the gridiron and engaged en-gaged In a sham fistic battle. The stu--denta cheered the efforts of tho little fellows and when the youngster wearing wear-ing the crimson and silver of the "U" rolled his opponent In the dust, a mighty roar went up from the 'Varsity bleachers. bleach-ers. At the close of the contest the mcm-lers mcm-lers of both teams were hauled from the field-to the 'Varsity training quarters quar-ters In a bus, where supper was served. In the evening a reception was given to the visitors by the university students. Last night several' hundred "U" rooters root-ers paraded the streets singing college songs and celebrating the victory according ac-cording to custom. A coffin supposed to contain the defunct A. C, and incidentally in-cidentally the hatchet, was displayed and later burled with military honors, Including the wounding of taps. Tho Game in Detail. Promptly at :25 the Agtde team mado Ub appearance on the Held and received a prolonged ovation both fiom their own and tho local rooters. Following almoat immediately came tho Varsity squad. Headed by Capt. Wade, they trotted down tho entire length of tho Hold while tholr fc-llow-students choorud voclferoiiKly. Both teams lined up tor a short preliminary prelim-inary practice.

In on the first bounce and down tho Held he went like a flash of lightning, with the entire. Aggie team following closo at his heels.
