Show REMARKABLE VICTORY FOR THE III SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM The Ogden high school football team cinched the state championship yesterday afternoon by administering -an overwhelming defeat to the eleven from the Granite high school, incidentally, inci-dentally, tho points they piled up 58 to 0 more than covered tho total scored against them by Granite in three consecutive years and four straight defeats, 52 points. The Tigers went into the game, not only determined deter-mined to win, but to completely wipe out the old sore spot left by Granite's superior playing in 1913, '14 and '15. To fulfill this purpose, the regular lineup, with the exception of Erwin and Mohlcr, went in at the start, the backfield being the same as last week, and Wilkinson and Stone taking the places of Erwin and Mohler in the line. Wilkinson, whose injured knee kept him out of the game witl the Salt Lako East Side school, lasted nearly to tho end of the first half and was then replaced by R. Conroy. Numerous Nu-merous other substitutions were made when victory was assured, Coach Shiroy desiring to give some of his youngsters the experience of working in a regular game. Glasmann, who was laid up nearly all week with la grippe, stayed in until un-til the locals had a 12-polnt lead and then turned his job over to Marshall. KIngsford was next to take a rest, Miller Mil-ler going In. Fox followed and Mc-Intyre Mc-Intyre went into the line. That ended end-ed the local substitutions for the first half and in the second half all of the retired players, with the exception of I Wilkinson, resumed their positions and the only substitution made was that of Erwin for V. Conroy, just before be-fore the game closed. Glen Stone, playing his first game, showed up brilliantly at end, seeing only the opposing player with the ball and usually downing him when the play was open. He was also handy when fumbles occurred and received mnny cheers for his vigilance and fighting spirit. The entire Ogden team, on theo ffensive, throughout tho game, worked like a well-oiled machine, ma-chine, the backfield men carrying the ball for long gains almost at will through holes made in the Granite line by Fox, Rich, and Richards and the other Tiger linemen. Their own goal was only twice in danger, once while j their defensive formation was surpris-j surpris-j ingly weak in the fore part of the I game and the second time when I Granite was helped doWn the field by I penalties put on by the umpire. At I tho danger points, however, the I Tigers held like a stone wall and the ' play was soon in the middle of the field again. Gains from 15 to 40 yards on a down were frequent for the Orange i and Black players and twice they made touchdowns on forward passes, ! started by their opponents. Aside from being completely bewildered by the Tigers' speed and style of play, the Granite boys frequently had time taken out on account of injuries, a number of them seeming unable to immediately im-mediately recover from the stiff plunging of the Ogden backfield men.
