Show UTAH COMPLAINS ONMIALS Field Artillery Football Team Wants Neutrality in Game at San Diego New Year's Day. SAN DIEGO, Dec. 25. Insistent demand de-mand for out-of-town officials who are acquainted with neither team or members mem-bers thereof is being mado by both the Utah field artillery and naval training camp for their game in the stadium Now Year's day,' it was learned last night, and it is up to Frank Marsh, superintendent of playgrounds play-grounds and manager of the gamo for the Red Cross, to produce them. The demand Is said to bo a hangover hang-over from the previous mooting of the teams December 9, when they played to a tie score ot 3 to 3, each kicking a field goal. The Army team and Its friends have permitted it to bo known that they still retain doubt that the Navy goal, which was kicked from a difficult angle, went over tho posts. Scrap on Officials. At any rate, it now develops that Lieut. M. L. Young, athletic officer of the Utah field artillery, insisted, before be-fore ho would agroo to a return match and play-off of the tie, that officials bo secured from somowhoro besides San Diego. To this proposition Ensign A. J. Grant, athletic officer of the naval training station, agreed, saying the Navy was just as anxious to leave no room for suspicions of partiality in officials. ' Subsequently each of tho athletic officers of-ficers submitted a list of officials of Los Angeles and neighboring towns who would be acceptable to them. Many Names Mentioned. From among those names submitted Manager Marsh has found both sides agreed upon Jerry Abbott, well-known referee of Los Angeles, and Coach Rhelnschild of Occidental college for mo reieree ana umpire, ana jl ranK iia-lette iia-lette for head linesman, provided they will servo. Abbott is the man who was organizing organiz-ing a team of college all-stars to play tho Navy hero if the game with the army team could not be arranged, and Frank Maletto was to captain It. Abbott Ab-bott has a hand In the College Stars vs. San Pedro submarine baso football game at Los Angeles Christmas day for the benefit pf the sub base athletic funds. Rheinschild also has a part in that game, gathering in the stars aad coaching them into team. play. Ho as well as Abbott is reputed as an efficient, effi-cient, impartial referee or umpire. It Is also learned that John R. Case, Jr., divisional athletic officer at Camp Kearny, was scouting on the New Year's official question when he went to Los Angeles early last week, ostensibly osten-sibly to try to match games for Camp Kearny teams. Ho has since told Marsh that he saw Abbott and found him willing to come to San Diego and referee. Prepare Secretly. With tho Navy ready to accept Abbott, Ab-bott, Marsh will immediately get into communication with him and offer him the job of referee. If he will come as expected, then Marsh will ask him to secure Rheinschild and Maletto to accompany him to San Francisco, simplifying sim-plifying thereby the business of com-munlcattions. com-munlcattions. Preparations of the rival teams for the big championship game are very much on the quiet. S6 far as can be learned all is well at tho Navy camp, but the Army camp let it be known yesterday that Pat King, center of the Utah team, is ill in the hospital at Camp Kearny and qufte certainly out of the fracas of New Year's day. In this connection, King is declared to bo mainstay ot the-' Army team and onq of the biggest reasons it won the Camp Kearny championship. The Red Cross and both rival camps are laying plans for a vigorous boosting campaign directly after Christmas to try to break al records for stadium crowds at tho gamo, which will be for the benefit of the Red Cross. Admissions have been mado so cheap there appears a possibility of doing so. CARH ART MAY REPLACE ' PAT KING AT CENTER JOB CAMP KEARNY, Dec. 25 When the Utah field artillery football team gets down to work tomorrow, following a four-days vacation, the point for the New Year's day game with the naval training camp team hero for the championship cham-pionship of the southwest. John Car-hart Car-hart will In all likelihood jump into the line at center in tho place of Pat King, the regular. The question of who will get the place of King, who is ill with pneumonia and out of the gamo, will dgpend upon the showing of the substitute sub-stitute performers, but Carhart will have the first chance, according to Lieut. M. L. Young, athletic officer. Carhart formerly played with Ogden j high school, teaming there with Louis Falck and Glen Dee. the sensational back of the Utah field artillery "team, and is expected to prove an able player in the big team now that ho is given a chance to show his worth. Pat King formerly played with the Utah university univer-sity team, as did several others of the present Utah army team, and was rec-organized rec-organized as a truly great center. Llne-Up Otherwise Is Same. Outside of the center, the Utah team 'probably- will line up for the New Year's game just as it did against the same navy opponents December 9, when thoy played a 3 to 3 tie. Dee, Drinen, Olsen and Falck are all said to be in excellent condition to take their regular positions in the backfield and give even better account of themselves than at any time this season. Tho quartet is fast and with sufficient suffi-cient weight to tear a way through the opposition. The members are expert with the forward pass. Olsen formerly played at Utah university and Drinon with the Salt Lake high. Steve Lovo. one of the best ends In the west, since developed on the army team and said to bo a hundred per cent better than when he played with Utah, will be in tho fittest condition it is claimed. Team Tiptop, Is Report ( The navy tacklers put him out of their other game in the first few minutes min-utes of play. Love plays left end and is especially keen at receiving forward passes. At tho right end Parry Kilpat-rlck Kilpat-rlck will be at the old stand, a good counterpart for Love. Ho got his foot- ' ball knowledge with Salt Lake high and has developed remarkably with this army team. Lylq Judd, captain of the team, formerly for-merly of tho Utah Aggies, and with Woiler, formerly of the Utah university, univer-sity, will take care of the tacklo positions posi-tions as before. The same staunch guards. Young and Maughan, also will be here holding tho center of the line Tomorrow, Friday and Saturday are really tho only days tho Utah team will have to got finally ready for the New Year's gamo. They probably will rest Sunday and only do light work Monday. Thoy have had three weeks In which to make ready, however, and are reported re-ported to have lost no opportunity with the exception of the Christmas vacation, which is regarded as beneficial bene-ficial in preventing overtraining. |
