Wildcats Tie Ricks, 0 to 0 Weber's highly favored griders managed to get only a scoreless tie with Ricks college in Rexburg, Idaho, Thursday, November 1. The Wildcats were favored before the game to tromp over the Rexburg team by three touchdowns. Weber's attack largely consisted of Quarterback Roger Hall's passing supported by the running of Fullback Lamont Lamb. Though the Ogdenites never scored, they had the ball within ten yards of the goal line on three occasions. Each time, however, Ricks' defense kept the Weber team from scoring. Ricks drove deep into purple and white territory at the last of each half but failed to score. Weber attempted to break the deadlock late in the final quarter with a field goal. This failed as Hathaway, a Ricks guard, blocked the kick.
