WESTMINSTER O-WEBER 24 WEBER'S FOOTBALL TEAM opened the season determined to win a national championship. The first game with Westminster, played at Ogden, showed that many improvements were necessary before such a goal could be attained. The men failed to take advantage of many excellent opportunities to score afforded by the weaknesses of the opposing eleven. Even so, the Parsons were clearly out-played. A heavy, muddy field made the scoring somewhat slow and left the clean new purple and white jerseys looking as if they had already been through a hard season. A backward pass, the play that was so often used later in the season, netted Weber about seventy yards early in the second quarter, and the next play brought a touchdown. Pete kicked goal and the score stood 14 to o for Weber. One more touchdown and a place kick accounted for ten more points.

It was the first time in history that a Weber football squad had faced a four year aggregation. The big jolly fellows from Helena had almost over-awed the student body when they had marched up on the platform and replied to an enthusiastic greeting with a snappy football song. Weber's determination to do the utmost, even in the face of the seemingly impossible, and to match the Montana weight by speed and trick plays were the factors that resulted in a Weber victory. The heavy Intermountain team had little difficulty in breaking through Weber's line but were consistently stopped by the secondary defense. On the other hand Weber could not pierce the Montana line, so resorted to aerial attacks and strategy. Trick plays kept the visitors in a state of wonderment. In the second quarter Weber found herself on the opponents' thirty yard line. At the signal, Barker, at end, ran across the goal line and waited. In a second the ball was sent flying through the air. It settled safely in Barker's arms and Weber had made the first touchdown of the game. When the second half began, Weber kicked off to Intermountain. Two well executed plays brought the ball to mid field and the next saw it taken across the line for Intermountain's only touchdown. The score then stood 7-7 until the last few minutes of action, when Weber carried the ball again well into the opponents' territory. An end run and two line plunges placed it on the one yard line for first downs and the goal to go. During the next few tense moments no one cheered. Four desperate line plunges followed in measured succession, and, when the struggling mass of players had disentangled themselves it was found that the ball was just over the line. Couch failed to kick goal. The final score was 13-7 for the Purple and White. "CLIFF" VEST, Halfback
