Show Cedar City Redmen Mauled by Tooele Buffaloes The Cedar City high school Redmen football team was dumped dump-ed out of the state championship playoffs Friday by a big and powerful Tooele high school team, by a score of 32 to 2. In spite of the one-sidedne.3 of the score the showing of the Redmen was very commendable. Two tough breaks in the early minutes of the game put the Redmen in a bad spot but they never stopped trying and put up a good fight against their huge foes as the game wore on. Outweighed Out-weighed 26 pounds to the man the small but speeciy Redmen took a terrific pounding from the northern Utahns, with a large number of the squad suffering injuries of various degrees. Gordon Slack suffered a severely se-verely broken arm, Fred Hamilton Hamil-ton received a compound dislocation disloca-tion of the finger, Morris Slack a badly wrenched back, Steve Lunt a leg injury, and practically every member of the squad had some type of injury before the game was over. The Buffaloes came up with three touchdowns in the opening quarter, the first one coming when a Cedar fumble of the opening kickoff was recovered by Tooele. A short time later another an-other fumble was lost to the Buffaloes Buf-faloes which put the ultimate winners into the 14 to 0 lead. While the Tooele team was a ! well balanced, hard charging ag-1 gregation, the tremendous weight advantage was the deciding fac- j tor in the one-sided victory. The I Cedar linemen could not hold ! back their heavier opponents with the result that the Redmen offense could not get under way. The weight advantage also made it extremely difficult for the Redmen to stop the Buffalo ball carriers. A Tennessee mountain man came down to Memphis for his first big city visit. Wneii he returned re-turned home, he w as asked how he liked the big city. "Never did see much of the town," he replied. "There was so much goin' on around the depot." |
