Show The Tribune Says "The greatest sensation sprung in Utah football is the gritty little quarterback, A. Egbert, Eg-bert, of tho Logan A. C. college, and although his team lost tha gamo by a score of 10 to" 0, tho varsity boys knew that they had n real taste of football.Egbcrt is but sixteen years of age nnJ weighs 120 younds. How ho over managed to go through t.lio game with tho other two ' hundrel pound huskies without even so much as getting a scratch will always al-ways remain n mystery to thos. who saw tho game and understand under-stand it. Egbert gained more lost ground than any individual player play-er on either team, and was as slippery as an eel. At times it took the entire university tenm to down him. At one time during the game he recovered a punted ball and fell on it. All the players play-ers stopped for an instant nnJ he was up and ran fifteen yards through what seemed perfect interference. in-terference. He would make his gains through the thickest part of tho varsity team, and no ono seemed to be able to head him off. Coach Walker says that he is the greatest quarterback ho has ever seen, not barring any of tho Eastern stars. Surprise for Varsity. "Tho university team bumped into a surprise in Saturday's game on Cummings field. In the first few downs the varsity men were howled over like ten pins with as perfect defenso as has ben been, seen on the field. The Aggies had to contend with much weight ngainst them, from gene- ral appearance, but "beef" did :ffl not seem to play any part in this '? game. As the teams could hold :ll each other for downs, the gamo ''H quite naturally resulted into n ' fl kicking game, the forward 'pass f.H being one of the features. The ijjH university lost 150 yards in penn H litics on the forwnrd pass and the '!fl Aggies lost about sixty yards.The , JH Aggie men showed better form fM than their opponents, not one' , man being laid out .during the tI game. Houston' had to be taken l out and was replaced by Ander- ffl son for tho varsity, and Richard- 1'V son was also knocked out. While ll'fl the latter was lying helpless on Jfl his back on the field, several Lo- gan rooters shouted to knock him -H out, etc. The gamo was a rough 1H ono from start to finish, but tho ! boys seemed to enjoy it. Big jfl Nelson from tho north would fall ' ol on one of the Utah boys and near- fl ly crush tho life out of his oppon- . jM cnt, but the gamo continued. j&M Coach Walker has made a big 'ffil chango in the Aggio lineup and ' tho result of this game shows taht JIB tho Utah championship in follow- ing years will bo in doubt until fiM nfter the games havo been played' Vm Continued on 4th page I9 The Big Game. Continued from first page The varsity beat the same team last year 33 to 0. "Neither team could score in the second half. It was1 nearly a straight punting game nnd very few line bucks were tried. A feature fea-ture of this half was the good playing of the Aggies. The ball was held in University territory twotthirds, of. the time, nd ,the Logan boys oiitplayed'thc locals, although they could not score. Brossard tried a drop kick for goal, but failed, .scoring a, touch-back. touch-back. The men played rough and the Varsity team was penalized twice because of Russell using his hands in defense. Andrews made n sensational forty-yard run, which looked like n sure touchdown. touch-down. He had n clear field ahead of him, but Grant tripped him up from behind on the eight-yard line. Egbert's fine playing in this half was the feature. Convill would punt across thef1 field and Egbert would recover the lost ground. Nenr the close' of the Inst hnlf Brossnrd punted. The ball went through Richardson's hands and Conville picked at up. Frew tackled him just as he punt ed and Umpire Tectzel , claimed foul and ordered Frew from the field. The matter Was finally straightened out and Frew allowed allow-ed to piny, Convill would never have kicked the ball had Frew been ten feet from him.Claim was made that no one can interfere with the fulback when kicking the ball, but in n' scrimmnge the question arose, how is one to know when a kick is to be made during each play,, and. it would be foolhardly to wait for results.Eg-bert results.Eg-bert recovered the ball and advanced ad-vanced it twenty-live yards, the pigskin resting on the 'Varsity thirty-yard line when time was called." |
