Football Report WEBER HAD A REMARKABLY SUCCESSFUL YEAR in athletics. Beginning her first College year with two hundred students, it did not seem possible that a football team or even a basketball team could be organized. But both were accomplished, and an exceptional record made. In football, Weber excelled especially. The team won the Rocky Mountain Junior College Football title in a hard contest with the Brigham Young College of Logan. The football team also made a trip to Phoenix, Arizona. In Phoenix, Weber played the Phoenix Junior College for the Western States title. Altho they were not successful in this, the Weber players made a fine record and earned fame and recognition. WEBER vs. B. Y. C. Score, 3-6, B. Y. C. October 3, 1023, at Logan In this game, Weber shone as fortune's fool. The team outplayed the "Crimson" for three periods, during which Couch scored one field goal and missed two tries by narrow margins. In the last ten seconds of play Weber let the Loganites slip over with a delayed for- ward pass, and the game ended for the Crimson, 6-3. WEBER VS. U. OF U. FROSH Score, 16-0, U. of U. October 12, 1923, at Ogden The inability of the Weber team to take advantage of the breaks of the game proved costly. Thirteen points were scored by the Freshmen on loose work in the Weber ranks. One feature of the game was the kicking contest indulged in by Taufer of the Freshmen and Couch of Weber. The game was hard and close from start to finish in spite of the score. WEBER vs. IDAHO TECH Score, 20-23, Idaho October 20, 1923, at Pocatello A record crowd attended this contest, in which Idaho Tech and her supporters were handed one of their biggest surprises. Expecting an easy game, Idaho was startled by the expert playing of Weber's back field. Weber played hard and fast, but a few irregularities resulted in the see-saw score. This was the most talked of game played in Idaho during the season. WEBER vs. A. C. FROSH Score, 15-0, Weber October 26, 1923, at Ogden The showing of the Purple team surprised even the most ardent of Weber's supporters. The A. C. varsity beat the Frosh only 9 to o, but Weber ate them up to the tune of 15 to o. The ability of the "W" men to take advantage of the breaks was largely responsible for the victory. WEBER VS. A. C. FROSH Score, 7-7 November 2, 1923, at Logan Playing a game with three cripples in the lineup, Weber gave more than a good account of herself. Three opposing centers hardly took the edge off of "Slim" Hale's appetite. "Pete" and "Plummer" also showed carnivorous tendencies. The game was enjoyed by a large crowd. WEBER VS. SNOW COLLEGE Score, 44-0, Weber November 10, 1923, at Ogden This was the game that made Ogden wake up to the fact that Weber possessed a football team. The highly-touted Snow College invaded Ogden with the blare of a wonderful record made down South. By playing her usual hard, clean game, Weber was able to blank her opponents 44 to o. In the last quarter the Purple scrub aggregation played en masse and registered the last touchdown of the game. WEBER vs. B. Y. C. Score, 12-0, Weber December 13, 1923, at Brigham This was the best game played during the Junior College Football season. Fast and well fought throughout, it went to the Purple gridders only because of their greater ability to seize breaks in the play. The Heismann spread was the only formation that caused the Weberites any difficulty in solving. Zinn, Couch, Halverson and Smith were the best bets for the wearers of the "W". This game determined the Rocky Mountain championship, and gave Weber the right to meet Phoenix College. WEBER VS. PHOENIX COLLEGE Score, 20-0, Phoenix December 23, 1923, at Phoenix This game was played in Phoenix for the Western States Cham- pionship. The Phoenix eleven had defeated the championship teams of New Mexico, Nevada and California by large scores. The score recorded in this game was the lowest Phoenix had made during the season. Weber outplayed the southerners at the beginnings of the periods, but the dense humidity of the southern atmosphere fagged the Weber men rapidly. This undoubtedly had a great deal to do with Weber's defeat. We would like to see a game played between the two teams in Ogden. Perhaps then there would be a different tale to be told. The game was exceptionally rough, three of Weber's players being removed because of injuries received.
