L.ehi'3 pioneer football team, playing in a swamp of mud, demonstrated demon-strated Friday that intelligent teamwork can be developed in one year with proper coaching. Choach Thome's proteges held the big B. Y. U. team to four touchdowns and succeeded in crossing the scoring line once themselves. The final count, 25 to 6, does not indicato the relative strength of the two teams, for, with the exception excep-tion of several costly fumbles, all of which contributed to the "Y" score, the contest was a nip-and-tuck affair throughout. The Purple and White back field, considered con-sidered speedy, could gel away with little against the heavy line which the B. Y. U. presented. The field slowed things up considerably and weight proved the deciding decid-ing factor. The beet diggers had three chances to score, bu t twice the sticky oval slipped from the hands of too anxious players, and once a runner bound for a touchdown lost his footing on the slippery sod and was stopped. Lehi had hut one foot to go in the second quarter, after staging a march at double time all the way down the field, hut lost the ball on the fourth down, wlfcon Knight, quarterback, muffed Robinson's perfect pass.
