Ltoi Aggies May Play California Grid Team Here I California "U" Or ' I Stanford to Clash With Logan Griders. Jji Fate be with us! The University of California, rated j as one of the best schools in .the west j for athletic material, and Stanford, tho jold standby, are both dickering for j games with the Utah Aggies during the coming gridiron season. But the ; result lieu entirely with Ogdcn and If present plans mature one of the b:g college elevens will be pitted against the Utah Aggies in what should be one of the greatest athletic treats in the history of Ogden, next fall. I Logan is not large enough to support 'such a game and tbe Logan fans havb :sent out the S. O. S. asking Ogden , backers to "atart" the ball rolling. Tht ball has been .rolling here for soma time now and unless the live wires are suddenly declared disabled the ball will continue to roll. And so it comes to pass that one of the groatcst gridiron grid-iron game's in the history of the staU may be played here next fall. The Logan authorities are keeping the wires hot in an endeavor to stage the game, and complete details will no doubt be arranged before the present month of April bids adieu. Both schools are rated in the Al class as gridiron aggregations and either eith-er would be able to give the Aggies the battle of their lives. And on the other hand, the University of South-jcrn South-jcrn California Is also out with the jS. O. S. dickering for a contest with .... w the Aggies. Who knows, perhaps Og den will this year become the "Pastt I dena" of the middle west and thu f ... place the state and city to tho fore j i on "the athletic map. ;i The Ogden A. A. has started the ball- ' jji. rolling in Utah in athletic circles ahtl j Sj the spirit that ruled in the days when ' f athletics were in their infancy in thw U state, are again on the mantle.

' ' ;We are now living in the twentieth ; I century and unless the "speed" dem- I :t on fails 'twill be some century In all' vj branches of sports. ; ' Kfe ; Logan boosters are also endeavoring 1 w '. to bring the annual Utah-Utah Aggl I, !grid game to Ogden. The contest in; f i other years has been held at Sa,L mi Lake, but, ir the new athletic field II is completed the contest will raor, V than likely be staged here. , jj If a contest between tho Aggies apd, lone of the three California schools is f r3 arranged, the battle will be, staged ' , here on November 6lh.
