Eleven contests with the best teams in this locality were played and the Stickers came out on the long end of all but two. The Stickers claim the independent championship of the state. Teams that fell before their attack were the Murray, Granite, American Fork and Bingham high schools, the Granite faculty and the University of Ftah. The two defeats which they suffered suf-fered were at tho hands of the University Univer-sity of Utah and Lehi high school quints.
