Kaysville, Nov. 17. Springing tho biggest surprise of the present season, sea-son, the Davis county high school football team defeated the champion Ogden "Tigers," by the scoro of 13 to 0. "Bob" Marshall, the great fullback full-back of the "Cornhuskers," scored all tho points, making a wonderful eighty-six yard run for a touchdown, kicking goal, and then kicking two of the prettiest field goals ever seen on a Utah field. The goals were from Ogden's 25-yard line and sailed squarely square-ly between the posts amid a furore of enthusiastic yells from the elated Davis county rooters. The adverse scoro was a sore disappointment to the Tigers, but, as one of the boys declared after the game,"It was almost worth losing, dog-gone it, to see the Davis crowd so happy." This spirit seemed general among the visitors and the friendship between the two schools was cemented beyond future question by a "Purity" banquet, staged in the Davis county high school gymnasium gym-nasium after tho game. The defeat was no disgrace to the state champions, though the germ of over-confidence that attacked thorn after their victory over the Salt Lake East Side High school two weeks ago was partlv responsible for it. as they met an amazingly superior Davis county eleven, to the one they administered admin-istered an overwhelming drubbing early in the season. That Coach Lorln Briggs had done wonders with his boys in the past month was manifest mani-fest in tho first quarter as time and again their guards and tacklers got the Ogden line and broke up plays of tho kind that put the Tigers in first place in the state league. Tho open offensive moves of the visitors were broken up in like fashion by the speedy Davis ends, who broke re-sistlessly re-sistlessly through the Ogden interference interfer-ence a number of times and downed the man with the ball for a loss of yards. The homo eloven was in the pink of condition, determined first to hold the redoubtable Ogdonltes socre-less socre-less and then it a fighting spirit could accomplish It, to do a little scoring on their own account. With a display of excollent Judgment, Judg-ment, Quarterback Whitesldes played a wholly defensive game during the first half, directing Marshall to punt almost every time the ball got Into his hands. The Tigers would no sooner lose the pigskin than Marshall would slam into it with his trusty right boot and then the "Orange and Black" warriors war-riors would begin their attack on the trenches of the enemy, only to be thrown back or held as often as they gained a few yards. These tactics, featured by brilliant tacking, accomplished accom-plished their purpose and tho first half ended with the un-condltloned Ogden lads somewhat weary and a version of possible victory In the eyes of tho Corn-huskera, Between halves, Coach Shirey, In tones that were heard and caused derisive de-risive cries to echo back from the Davis county rooters in the stands, endeavored to innoculate some pep into his squad. He was successful to the exent that Tigers, early In the second half, carried the ball within striking distance of tho Corn-huskers goal. At this point, Wilkinson waa substituted for Kings-ford. Kings-ford. On a forward pass, Deo took the ball to the eight-yard line and it was given to Wilkinson on the next play to carry over. The big utility man, whose Injured knee had kept him out of the game for several weeks, made a great plunge through center for five yards, before ho was doubled up like a jack-knife by two of the rangy Davis county lads. In some manner, for which the pain from his Injured limb was responsible, the ball 1 l. : t. ,i i . i i JCll llld IJ.lllUb itllU (111 W1BUUH lilLUl out of the fighting, wriggling mass of twenty-two battle flushed youths, "Bob" Marshall appeared with tho ball tightly clasped under his arm and, never stopping, wriggled his way into tho clear. Almost before the startled spectators realized that a "fluke" play had given tho home team its long-looked-for opportunity, the Cornhuskers Corn-huskers had formed a strong line of interference around their doubtv cap-lain, cap-lain, which shifted with him down tho field, with ten of the Ogden players making prodigious efforts to break through. One by one, the pursuing Tigers Ti-gers were thrown aside and distanced until the race was finally between Dee, Ogden's speedy all-state halfback, half-back, Marshall and one of his guards. With Dee almost on the heels of the big fullback, ho was momentarily deflected de-flected from his pursuit by the latter's lono guard and gavo up the race a few feet further on, as fruitless.

Before play was started again, Wilkinson, Wil-kinson, who had been put out of commission com-mission in the play that ended with Marshall's spectacular eighty-six yard run, was replaced' by Miller. "Billy" Glasmann, who had been acting as water boy, was ordered to get Into a suit, to assist in an eleventh hour effort ef-fort to turn the tide of battle. When tho much-feared quarter-back returned to the field, ready for the fray, the third quarter was nearly ended "and It closed with the ball In the hands of tho Corn-huskers. Glasmann's entry into tho game seemed to rejuvenate the Tigers, but also served to set the fighting spirit of the home guards up to a higher notch. At the opening of the last quarter, Falck received the ball from the kick-off kick-off and punted It back on the first down. A couple of line plays followed fol-lowed and Marshall again punted to Falck, who was downed in his tracks by Rcoves. A forward pass was Intercepted In-tercepted by Simpson who advanced 8 yards before being downed. Davis county then tried a forward pass and gained three more yards. With tho ball on Ogden's 25-yard line, almost directly in front of the goal posts, the Corn-huskers again saw their opportunity and the stage was set for a place-kick. The play moved like clock-work, despite the Tigers' desperate effort to break it up, and the scoro was 10 to 0. On the following follow-ing kick-off, Glasmann received tho ball and advanced 20 yards before being be-ing done. On an end run, Dee was thrown back several yards and Falck gained 12 yards on a similar play. Glasmann next took the ball, but the visitors' hopes were dashed when he fumbled it after making a good gain. It was recovered by a Davis county player. Whitesldes attempted two forward for-ward passes in succession. The first failed and Dee intercepted the second. Glasmann again carried the ball for Ogden, but was again jinxed, the pigskin pig-skin for the second time slipping from his grasp. It was recovered by Simp son almost on tho identical spot from which Marshall kicked his first field goal. A minute lator, the Davis county coun-ty full-back duplicates that feat. Tho game ended shortly afterward, wth the ball In the middle of the field. While all ot the Davis county boys played a dashing defensive game, such as will make them serious contenders for the league championship next year, tho partloular stars were Fullback Full-back Marshall, and the two ends, Adams and Reoves. Marshall's punting punt-ing was the best seen this seaspn in any of tho league games. The stars of the Ogden team wero Falck and Dee, who made most of the gains with tho ball and also did some splendid tackling. Tho Tiger line was not up to Us usual form and the absence of Wilkinson, Mohlor and Glasmann was noticeably felt. Marshall, Ogden substitute sub-stitute quarter-back put up a gamo struggle through three-quarters, but his lack of weight prevented his making mak-ing the gains usually mado by Glasmann. Glas-mann. Coach Shiroy, while somewhat chagrinted over tho result of the con-test, con-test, with the oldor Ogden fans who saw tho contest, was of the opinion i that it would servo as a wholesome j lesson to his squad that contests are i not won on past performances but that consistent and steady training is needed to uphold a record already won. Coach Briggs was jubilant over the victory of the his Infant football team, which, he said, was as big a surprise sur-prise to him as it was to Shiroy.
