Show Weber vs. Aggie Freshmen WEBER 7 AGGIE FROSH O WEBER'S football team played brilliant and faultless ball when they defeated the Aggie Frosh Eleven by a score of 7-0, thus reversing the score of the previous season. As the score shows, it was one of the most thrilling games of the season. Several times the opposing team had the ball within the Weber one yard line but lacked the punch to put it over the goal. The Frosh had a slight advantage during the first quarter. In this period they worked the ball to the Weber one foot line only to lose the ball on downs against the stubborn defense of the Purple and White. The second period was nearly a flip-up, both teams playing sensational ball until the sound of the gun. In the third quarter the Weber team came back filled with the "Old Weber fighting spirit". After completing two passes, the ball was placed within scoring distance, and from there the "Wildcats" bucked the ball over the line for the lone score of the game. Cortez, Barker, Couch, Doxey, Halliday, Bramwell, and McGregor, who probably played their last football game in Ogden, displayed their usual superior brand of ball. Weber vs. Ricks WEBER 13 RICKS 0 By defeating the Ricks College 13 to 0 at Rexburg, our team won the Utah Idaho Junior College Football Championship for the third consecutive time. This, the last game, gave the Weberites a clean slate for the whole season. The Held on which the game was played, was covered by a two-inch layer of slippery mud. Before the game had progressed many minutes every player was saturated in mud and water. During the half sticks, slats, and knives were employed to scrape the mud from the suits of the players in order to give them more speed in the coming half. Throughout the entire game many fumbles occurred because the ball was so slippery. With such a condition of the field and ball, it was almost impossible for either team to play effectively. In the first period a punting duel was staged in which Weber seemed to hold a little advantage. It was in the second quarter that the scoring began. After an exchange of punts, the ball was run back thirty yards and then by a forward pass Weber took the ball over the goal line. In the third quarter the Purple and White succeeded in making their second and final touchdown by forward passing. The remainder of the game easily showed that Weber possessed the superior team of the two, mainly because of their ability to "out fox" the Ricks team. |
