The Compton “tartars” are rated the best junior college team in the nation and the wildcats are preparing to send them into hiding. Last year, Weber was humbled by the tartars. They —+nroceeded to trounce the wildeats 30 (0 7. One thing that won’t hold the ocal boys back is the fact that compton is twice the size of Weber. Strength in Numbers If you will recall LACC was also nuch larger than our Ogden school, and what a shellacing our boys yave them. Thus, the _ saying, ‘strength in numbers” is not always a determining factor, and -° the wildecats would enjoy handing ‘he coast team a defeat. Also in the game last year, held n Ogden, the Weber boys grabbed ‘he ball, and in the first five minites of play swept the field to score ind convert with the extra point. [This was the first time in two compton seasons that they had seen scored on first by any team. Two Touchdowns Compton came back in the secynd quarter with an aggressive and spirited squad. They proceeded to roll up two touchdowns and almost had one more when the gun went off, ending the first half. The tartars began to show their fine action in the last even more impressively as they rolled into Weber territory so often that the wildeats really felt at home on their own side of the field. Compton Favored The Compton club will be the favorites due to the fact that the Ogden boys will have traveled a long way and are not used to the coast climate. Although with every other evident consideration, the local mentory are expected. to sparkle. Glendale contest, Nov. 11, will be a little more in favor of Weber, provided that the wildcats do not sustain any injuries in the game with Compton. They will have had a brief rest and enough time to consider new plays to be used. In short, they will be ready for anything Glendale may happen to turn loose. Band Supports Much support will be given the team by the well organized and capable band, under Delmar Dickson’s. direction. The. AMS-AWS smoker held last week was a determining factor in the success of the team’s jaunt to the coast, because of the money that it provided for the band. ¥ = nr - |
