Show Box Elder Wallops Ogden In Northern Grid Game Rasmussen Sparkles With Brilliant Runs On Brigham Gridiron All-State Quarterback of 1930 Turns in Marvelous Performance; Hone Is Also Outstanding For Winners; Fumble Costly To Ogdenites By AL WARDEN Standard-Examiner Sports Editor OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL footballers bowed be- //V fore a superior Box Elder High eleven at n Brigham City Thursday, 32 to 0, as a crowd / of more than 2,000 ardent gridiron boosters I ' s J looked on. The final verdict was a surprise 85 Tigers keen looked upon as ser- j ious contenders for the division and state . f y titles. The Bees, polished in every depart- ment of play, sparkled with color and dem- onstrated their superiority beyond any question of doubt. —" Rasmussen, all-state quarterback last sea¬son, and Hone, a new backfield wizard of promise, were the two gents who ran wild against the Orange Streaks. These two men, with the aid of some brilliant block¬ing by their mates, carried the leather over the line five times &nd Rasmussen converted twice. Three times during tne contest the Tigers threatened to score, but on each occasion they were halted by the stubborn Bee forward wall. FUMBLE IS COSTLY In the first three minutes of play tbe Tigers carried the ball for three mecessive first downs to the Box Elder 12-yard stripe and appeared headed for a touchdown. Hendricks, irtro captained the team Thursday, made a wild pass at this stage be¬fore his backfield was ready, and Jeppson fell on the leather for Box Elder. This misplay was costly to the Tiger hopes. The Bees started a parade down the field and reg¬istered three successive first downs before the quarter ended. Early in the second period Hone plunged over the center of the Tiger fine for the first touchdown and Rasmussen place kicked for the ex- Jeppson blocked a Tiger kick in qi period and Hone, polished back, Hooped up the ball and ran 23 yards for the second Bee touchdown, late In the period Hone intercept- S an Ogden pass and ran 40 yards the third score. On an attempted placement for the extra point after the third Bee touchdown, the ball was low and bounded down the field. Rasmussen picked up the leather and cir¬cled the Tiger left end for the ex- Two of the most brilliant runs in years were turned in by the Bee quarterback, Rasmussen, in the third THRILLS FANS With the leather resting on his own 15-yard line, Rasmussen broke through the Tiger line and started & 85-yard gallop to the Ogden goal On his excursion he gave a Marvelous demonstration of open field running. His feat is the out- Handing performance in Utah scholastic football thus far this sea- ion. Just a few minutes later Rasmussen E permitted an Ogden punt to the ground and bound down the i. Like a flash, Rasmussen picked up the ball, and with fine in¬terference wiggled his way to the Ogden goal line for a second bril¬liant gallop. This run was good for 40 yards and electrified the crowd. In the third period Sneddon broke loose on a 35-yard run for Ogden on the famous "bootleg" play, to place the Tigers within scoring distance. This rally, however, was short lived. Late in the fourth quarter Ogden again showed a spurt of football and carried the leather to the Bee 14- yard line, where they lost the ball on downs. Sneddon and Lehman were the best bets in the backfield for Og¬den although Foulger, a reserve, turned in a creditable game during his short stay in the lineup. On the line the work of Fowler and Alkema was brilliant for Og¬den. Hone and Rasmussen were easily the outstanding performers of the matinee. On the line the work of Jeppson, Hess and Harris was bril¬liant for the Bees. The Box Elder team of 1931 is well fortified with colorful plays and they engineered them with perfect precision Thursday. Earl Ferguson's aggregation of 1931 is just as sweet as ever, and if they continue to play the brand of ball they dished out yesterday they will regain the state title. Ogden registered 10 first downs and the Bees collected 16 first downs, yet the Tigers failed to score. The Bees collected 268 yards from scrimmage as against 198 for Og¬den. Rasmussen, all-state quarterback ef last season, led the attack with 170 yards from scrimmage. O. Ward gained 11 yards and Mecham 12. Hone, fullback for the Bees, totaled 75 yards from scrimmage. SNEDDON STARS . Sneddon was the outstanding ground gainer from scrimmage' for Ogden. He led the pack with 77 yards. Lehman gained 54 yards and Williams 34. Foulger, a reserve, listed 30 yards and Springer tallied the other three yards. Box Elder completed five out of nine forward passes for 73 yards and Ogden completed one out of seven for 15 yards. Each team fumbled twice during the .game. Ogden intercepted two passes and Box Elder intercepted three. Ogden punted six times for an average of 34 yards and the Bees punted five times for a 35-yard av-erage. The summary: Box Elder (32) Ogden (0) . Hess Tower left end L. Jensen Alkema left tackle M.

Principal Keith Wahlquist of We¬ber high claims that Vern Springer, one of our students, attended Evansville (Indiana) high school from September to November, 1929, and is therefore ineligible to play on our team. This evidence is contraverted by the following known facts: The Springer family left Ogden September 26 of that year and Vera did not enter the school until Octo-ber 21; he withdrew the second week to take a job with the Bucyrus-Erie company, receiving his first pay check on November 7. Vern's entrance to that school is absoultely proved by this interesting except taken from "The Centralian," the high school paper of Evansville under date of Friday, October 25, 1929: "Monday morning a gay young sophomore quietly walked into the junior office and quoted the old dit-ty: 'Egad, fortesque, how comest I thither from whither?' The lad hails from Utah and so naturally he is unacquainted with the building and the students. Let's show him the real Central spirit and prove to him that he has not come all that distance for nothing, even though he is a soph. Vern, old chap, you are assured a cordial welcome from the Centarlian staff, and, by jove, I al¬most forget to tell you that this young thing is our own Coach Springer's nephew, Vern Springer. So let's give him a hand, students, one and all." This seems to settle definitely Vern's tardy entrance to Central high at Evanston, Ind. We have ample evidence of his almost im¬mediate withdrawal from school to take a job—he needed the money —and will present within a day or two further substantiating evidence of his withdrawal from school dur¬ing the second week. So that's that. 'GIRLS' CREED .Possibly you have noticed those beautifully framed and decorated creed copies gracing every class-room wall. They set forth the "girls' creed." The girls of Ogden high school composed the creed them-selves and every copy has been hand decorated by art students. Every room has been presented with one of these, and if you haven't read them, we advise you to do so. They are interesting as well as decora¬tive and clearly represent the Og¬den high school girls' ideals: "As a student of Ogden high, I believe it is my duty to love and honor my school, to enter into its progressive spirit sincerely and en¬thusiastically, always being punctual, participating in its undertakings, and supporting its social and ath¬letic activities. "I believe I should respect its teachers and the student body offi¬cers, and do my part toward keeping the building and surroundings clean and attractive. I should be a friend to all, not for what they may be able to give me, but purely for the joy of asscoiation and service, there¬fore I should have a smile for ev¬eryone, and be willing to serve whenever help is needed. That a cheerful smile and a kind word will work wonders for one who is dis¬couraged is a fact for me always to remember. "I should be honest and truthful, with a character beyond reproach, courteous and kind, loving and for¬giving, brave and cheerful, frank but not insulting, jolly, but not boister¬ous, modest, self-respecting, neat in appearance, orderly at all times, and respectful for the rights and feelings of others. I should be a good sport, always playing fair, keeping peace with my opponents, never dis¬puting the word of the authorities, and always controlling my temper, I should be prepared to battle against any difficulties, and to take disappointments good-naturedly. "My desire to live up to these ideals and be worthy of honorable citizenship in our creditable school and our glorious republic is sincere and humble." O ct. 20, 1931 O.H.S.

Thi; eminent thinker believes that the Box Elder enthusiasts conceived the idea as a trick to use, if our boyf became too much for them. (Whici: they did not.) According to the sage, an ex¬plosion was to occur in the moun¬tains at our back. Naturally every¬one would stand up and turn arounc to determine the cause of the dis¬turbance, with the result that the team would see all the white spots mistake them for flags of truce anc quit playing, thus making an easj victory for Box Elder. . For the benefit of those who did not attend I will offer a word oi explanation. The bleachers upor which the Ogden rooters sat were covered with a kind of whitewash or paint which, when sat upon, de¬veloped an unswerving attachment to the portion of one's apparel used for sitting down purposes. It was really most embarrassing. CHARLES WOOD. MECHANICAL DRAWING Mr. Connell entered six groups of drawings from last year's work in the mechanical drawing department of the state fair. These were award¬ed second place. It is quite an hon¬or to have our school win this, and next year Mr. Connell hopes to take first place. Mrs. Newcomb gave a talk in memorial to the departed members at the U. E. A. convention Friday morning. It looks like Ogden's il¬lustrious faculty had a great part in making the convention a success. FOR NEXT TIME Thursday afternoon our second league game was played at Brig¬ham City. The Box Elder team ran away with the game with a score of 32 to 0. The support of the student body was excellent. We are sorry our team couldn't win this game, but we expect them to show Logan some hard fighting next Fri¬day. We offer our condolence, team, but don't let this break your morale. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: Wouldn't it be possible to or¬ganize a "pep club" in our school. Other schools have them. Why can't we have one in our school? A JUNIOR. Dear Junior: It is not the custom of Ogden high to limit its pep and enthu¬siasm to one certain small group. We want the entire student body to express its own support for the teams. AUNT JANE. DANCE SCHEDULE The fllowing schedule was pre¬sented to council by Alice Barker, chairman of the social committee: Thanksgiving dance, November 20; holly hop, December 18; accolade, January 22; cadet hop, February 19; Classicalia, March 19; junior prom, April 23; farewell dance, May 7. If you have poor memories, you boys, and want to get yur dates ahead of time, you had better cut this out and keep it in a safe place. PHI LAMBDA TAU Oh, you lucky "big shot!" Did you note the happy expression of those proud Phi Lambda Tau pledges? Six happy juniors and one senior, Betty Gunnell, Ann Pingree, Bobby Kimball, Helen Rodgers, Cleon Walker, Arleen DaVis, Mar¬garet Butts. You must agree this is a snappy bunch of pledges. More success to Phi Lambda Tau. "INTER NOS" The meeting Was called to order Monday, October 12, by Imperator Rushmer. The minutes were read by the secretary and approved.
