Show On October 27, the Wildcats journeyed to Provo, where they showed unexpected strength in a game with the B. Y. U. Freshmen. In the first half the Freshmen scored twice as the result of a perfect passing attack. After this the Wildcats outplayed the Freshmen, and only bad breaks kept Weber from scoring. The game ended 13 to 0 with Weber in possession of the ball on B. Y. U.'s one yard line. Three days later, on October 30, the Wildcats played the University of Utah Freshmen at the Ute Stadium. Weber started the game with a team of reserves who, being nervous and over-anxious, allowed the Utes to score a touchdown, a point after touchdown, and a safety, for a total of nine points in the first quarter. The Wildcat defense began clicking more effectively, and the Utes were held to one touchdown in each of the second and third quarters. With the entrance of the Weber regulars into the fray at the beginning of the last quarter, the scene materially changed. The Weber team staged a brilliant comeback, pushing the Utes all over the field, scoring once, and having possession of the ball one yard from the goal line as the game ended. Final score-Utah 22, Weber 7. The Wildcats made their last home appearance November 2, at the Ogden Stadium when they played the Aggie Freshmen. In a contest brimfull of penalties, the Aggie's greater weight and reserve power spelled defeat for the Wildcats. The score was 42 to 0. The first league game of the season was played with Snow College at Ephraim, Nov- ember 9. The contest was close and thrilling. Snow scored first through the Weber line after a series of passes had put the ball in scoring territory. Neither team could work into scoring position, and the half ended 6 to 0 for Snow College. Weber came back after the half and, on a sustained march down the field, carried the ball 70 yards to a touchdown. The tie was soon broken, however, when Snow scored two more touchdowns in rapid order. In the final minutes of play, Foley, Weber end, caught a beautiful pass to score another Weber touchdown, making the score 19 to 12 for Snow College. The final game of the season was played November 17, on the Westminster field. The Parsons won a heartbreaker from the Wildcats. Westminster got the breaks in the first and second quarters when they blocked two of Weber's passes and scored each time. Watts then counted a touchdown for Weber, and the half-time score was Westminster 13, Weber 7. In the final quarter Westminster scored a safety. These two points were the deciding factor of the game, as Weber came back and carried the ball over for a touchdown as the game ended. Final score-Westminster 15, Weber 13. |
