SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1933 TIGERS TAKE GAME FROM SOUTH HIGH Kennedy Sparkles in Colorful Contest At Local Stadium BY REX GREAVES Coach Ernie Simkins' 1933 Ogden; High Tiger eleven looked promising in its 12-0 triumph over a heavier Salt Lake City South High aggre¬gation in a pre-season contest at the Ogden stadium Saturday afternoon With three regulars on the sick and injured list, the fighting Tigers got going in the second quarter and unleashed a neat assortment of plays which furnished some nice entertainment for an audience of about 1000 persons. Maurice Kennedy, who alternated at quarterback and halfback for the Orange and Black, was outstanding in a classy Ogden backfield which produced an even half dozen secondary stars. Kennedy's playing recalled the days of his brother Dan, a decade ago, when Dan was an all-state triple threat performer for the O. H. S. Maurry reeled off two long runs of 58 and 37 yars and numer¬ous shorter gains. He did most of the line plunging, scoring Ogden's second touchdown in the third quarter after a beautiful pass from; Clyde Greenwell to Ernie Sanders had counted the first score in the second quarter. Kennedy backed up the line well on defense and aver ased 50 yards on his punts. Although the spotlight centered on Kennedy, he was not alone in a well balanced Ogden backfield. Clyde Greenwell gave a splendid exhibition of forward passing and looms as one of the finest passers ever turned out in prep competition in the state. Greenwell's first fling of the game was good for a touch¬down as it shot 30 yards like a bullet to Sanders who raced an addi¬tional 30 yards for a touchdown early in the second quarter. Whit¬taker, halfback, took out the only man in Sanders way on this play Greenwell's placekiclc for extra point was squarely between the uprights, but was disallowed by the "dead ball" rule, inasmuch as Whittaker was on his knees in holding the ball in placement position. Greenwell's passes for the most part were well directed and the kind the receiver likes to handle. Two passes to "Hod" Burbidge who replaced Whit¬taker were each good for 25 yards. A good part of the Ogden defense is bound to be built on Greenwell's passing ability. Burbidge and Whittaker showed plenty of speed in their ball carry¬ing chances, while Gene Wayment, giant blocking half, carried out his assignment in consistent fashion. Playing a defensive half Wayment spoiled practically ever pass the South High eleven attempted. The other Ogden backfield per¬former to see service was Merl Woodland, a hard driving plunger whom it will be hard to deny a starting berth in the future. Johnny Pignataro, Betteridge, and Herb Habbeshaw were the offensive ' threats for Bob Davis' South High Cubs. Pignataro got away to nu¬merous side stepping gains and was always dangerous whenever he got his hands on the ball. Habbeshaw's capers were much on the order of Pignataro's, while Beteridge was a powerful plunger. Max Wilkins and Bob Halliday, -huge South tackles, looked good in diverting many of the Ogden off-tackle thrusts. Wilkins also matched Kennedy in the kicking department. The Salt Lakers missed two ex¬cellent opportunities to score. After an exchange of punts in the opening quarter, the South gridders advanced the ball from past midfield to within a few yards of the Ogden goal where the Tiger line braced and forced Pignataro to try a lateral. Johnny circled left end with a clear field only to be nailed on fourth down by Green- well coming up fast to make the tackle. A fumble in the third quarter gave the Blue and White team the ball on the Ogden ten yard- stripe. The South club, however, returned the compliment by fumbling on their first down. Davis used his reserves the final quarter. Kennedy started Ogden on its way to the second touchdown with a 37 yard twister around right end be¬fore being run out of bounds on South's 39 mark by Day and Halli¬day. Kennedy and Burbidge ad-vanced the ball to the 30 yard line and on last down with a yard to go, Burbidge, now calling signals, took a 20 yard pass from Green- well to the 10 yard line. A plunge by Kennedy, a drive by Burbidge, and another plunge by Kennedy counted the other six points. Green¬well's attempted placement was turned into a run, when a bad pass! from Seal, center who was shaken up on the touchdown play, did noli give Burbidge time to settle the ball. Burbidge tossed the ball back! to Greenwell who managed toj squirm within a few inches of the goal. The Orange and Black line made; a game fight of it with their heavier opponents. Piersanti, Herscovitz and Call did some nice tackling, while the lanky junior ends Sanders and Revell, also came in for their share of the honors. In Sanders, Revell, Seal and Bar¬ker, Simkins has a quartet of boys who all tower over six feet. Pete Piersanti, Jerry Call, and Benny DeCorso, the guards, are rugged youngsters built on the order of Dan Milligan, Ogden's all-state guard in 1931 and 1932. Another week of. practice, and the return to the lineup of Captain John Kinnard and Leonard Higgins, the only regulars from last year's team, will make the Tigers . favorites to beat Bear River in theii first league game at the local stadium next Fri¬day.
