Show AMERICAN LEGION QR1DDERS I WIN FROM WEBER STARS IN I GAME PLAYED IN SEA OF MUD Playing in a sea of mud, with fast play impossible and with end-runs and forward passes an almost impossibility, impossibil-ity, the American Legion grid team o Ogden trimmed the Weber Normal academy stars at Lonn Farr park yesterday yes-terday afternoon in a hard fought battle, bat-tle, the score being 7 to 0. Both eleV-ens eleV-ens played hard at all times and the work of Watson's men in particular , was an outstanding feature of the struggle. The Weber boys have improved im-proved one hundred per cent since their game with the Box Elder crewl at Brieham Citv and Coach Wntsmi is to bo complimented nn the of his men. The old winter snow shoe could have been used to good advantage yes- . terday by some of the backfiehl stats The ball on many occasions would be snapped from the center to the mwm- ' ter and then to one of the backs and with a dash of speed, the thud part would endeavor to hit the line, with ihe result that he would skid with the same agility that a Ford does When said Ford, or Lizzie, skids on the wet streets. Score 7 to 0. I At the close of Ihe firsl half hour ft the score read 7 to 0 in favor of the Legion stars. With but three min utes io pmce ai me ciose oi me second period the Weber lads were forced to punt with the ball on their ten-yard line. Bagley, playing center for the Legion, blocker Yl! ox's kh 1:. ri he bail was recovered by Sink. Two plays i were necessary tor the ocore Hulm- ! . ston went through right guard for five ( yards and Abe Glasmann carried the I ball over the line for the only score of tho game. Kingsford kicked goal It was one of the prettiest goal kicks I ever seen on the local field. The entire second half was more or less a repetition of the first half In the latter part of the game, however, two costly fumbles cost the L'tion two chances to put the ball over the line. With the ball on the three-yard line during the fourth period, Allison i . . fumbled and the ball was recovered by Weber, Weber punted out of danger and the ball was again worked within scoring distance by the Legion plaj ( t I This time Kingsford fumbled and the I ball was again reco ered by a Weber player. The game ended with the ball on Weber's ten-yard line. The Bright Stars For the winners Abe Glasmann, Kingsford, Hulmston, Bagley nad Allison Alli-son starred. These men all plad hieh-class ball. Sol Smythe also showed a world of class as a mud slinger. Lindsay was the bright star for Weber We-ber His line plunges and end-runs were engineered with much ability and he should prove the star of the I euer players during the season j Brewer at quarter handled his team (in first-class manner. But one substitution substi-tution was made in the game. The American Legion team was composed of mostly second string men, (but the firsl team will In all probability probabil-ity line up ugainst the fast Box Elder hijjh school aggregation here Saturday The lineup and summary of yesterday's yester-day's game: American Legion (7) Weber (0).
