WILL WE BEAT BOX ELDER THURSDAY YEA BO!! The Tiger GIVE OUR ADVERTISERS FIRST PREFERENCE! VOLUME III. OGDEN, UTAH, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 18 NUMBER 2 Tigers Wallop Davis TIGERS BATTLE WITH A. C. FROSH Local Gridders Put Up Stiff Fight Friday, October 6, the Tigers' team battled with the A. C. Freshmen in the local lot, losing by the score of 17 to 7. It was a hard, stiff fight from start to finish, for both teams dis-played ability. The Tigers started the game with speed. The ball was kept under the shadows of the A. C.'s goal posts dur¬ing the entire first half. In the middle of the first quarter the ball was forced to the 2-yard line and Thomas dropped back to punt. It went bad and Clark ran 30 yards for a touchdown. He kicked goal, giving the local lads 7 points. During the rest of the half the teams fought very evenly with the Tigers having the edge. The ball was in the middle of the field at the half. The "Milk Lugs" came back strong in the second half and scored on a punt fumbled by Sullivan. The Ding- lings using a shift play alternating with straight bucks, ran the ball to the goal, Merrill taking it over. Thomas kicked goal. Early in the final period the Babes carried the ball to the 35 yard line. Tommie dropped the ball between the bars for 3 more points. Again in that period the visitors scored, Skeen taking the ball over and Tommie kick¬ing goal. Floyd Thomas, Ex-Tiger man was easily the star of the matinee. Clark was the star for Ogden and Brady at full back played a good game but the strength of Fred Chez was missed. One notable feature of the game was on the last kick-off when ten men and Bill Conroy tore down the field amidst shrieks and applause.

SECONDS ENTERTAIN WEBER SECONDS Ogden's second team entertained Weber's second team Monday, on the Tigers' practice field. The Weber ag¬gregation worked so hard, one would think that they were playing for the Rocky mountain Championship. How¬ever, they were successful in climbing out of the fracas on the long end of the score, which read 32—6. SENATOR SMOOT SPEAKS TO STUDENTS Students Honored by United States Senator Senator Reed Smoot was the guest of honor at an assembly held Wed¬nesday afternoon. The Girls' Glee Club gave the Senator a warm wel¬come by singing, "How Do You Do, Mr. Smoot." The Senator was accompanied by six other distinguished gentlemen who were introduced to the students in the "Rotarian" fashion, each man introducing the other. Mr. Merrill befan the assembly by introducing Secretary of State, H. E. Crockett. Mr. Crockett made a big hit with the students the minute he spoke. He was what they would term, "A fine fellow." A. R. Mclntyre, of the state legislature, Francis Matson, As¬sistant Internal Revenue Commis¬sioner, Attorney Jos. Evans and Carl Marcussen, President of the Carbon County Board of Education, were the Other visitors. Superintendent Hopkins was in the party, and was introduced to the students (Freshmen). Mr. Hopkins delivered a short speech and then in¬troduced the greatest man Utah has ever produced, Senator Reed Smoot. Mr. Smoot began his talk by telling the girls of the glee club, who had just sung for him, that he would hate to tell them how old he was. Mr. Smoot's speech had in it a great lesson and we hope that every one took advantage of the chance to learn that lesson. Senator Smoot told us how he appreciated the fact that he was born in the United States and how glad he was that he could live under the Stars and Stripes. He also impressed upon us that we should try to BE SOMEONE when we grow into manhood. Mr. Smoot says that it takes us until we are twenty years of age to find out that we don't know anything. His mother taught him one of the greatest les¬sons in his life when we was only ten years old, and that was to be punctual. He claims that he has lost more time by being on time than any other way that he knows of. Mr. Smoot related the business life of the late Mr. J. Thomas of Last & Thomas Drygoods store. Mr. Smoot's story began where he met a small boy on the street who was clothed only in a pair of over¬alls and a rope for a suspender. He was interested in the boy be¬cause of an incident that had oc¬curred in the store where he was em¬ployed. This incident happened one day when the small boy came into the store with a chicken that was so old that Mr. Smoot said that it could not live through the winter. But the small lad replied, "Oh, yes it will, it has lived through many a winter." Mr. Smoot watched this boy closely and when he was old enough to climb upon the seat of a wagon, he was put to work delivering. Mr. Smoot advanced him as rapidly as he could. Then came the death of the boy's mother and the boy was taken care of by Mr. Smoot through the wishes of the mother on her deathbed. Later on Mr. Thomas be¬came manager of a store. At this time Mr. Smoot was sent to the United States Senate. When he re¬turned to Utah again he found that there was a store in Ogden that was owned by Mr. Thomas. This man, according to Mr. Smoot, was suc¬cessful. FIRST SNAKE DANCE SCORED A HIT Serpentine Parade Well At¬tended; Old Time Spirit Shown A large crowd of loyal Tiger back¬ers and rooters (five thousand or more) turned out en mass for a grand old time. The object of the gathering was to form a snake so long that it would be able to coil in and around the old town seven or eleven times with perfect ease. The show started at seven forty- five on the "speck." A big fellow named Mac Boyd headed the proces¬sion and our small friend Marcus Mattson brought up the rear. A constant racket was kept going to the following words: Will We Beat Dav—is? Yes! Yes! O. H. S." As the snake "crawled" down "ed¬ucation avenue" more "rattlers" were picked up, and by the time the "cyclone" struck Washington avenue there were enough to make a snake eleven miles long,—it may have made twelve, but as we do not wish to exaggerate let it stand at eleven. A few yells were given as the snake coiled around a little bump in the middle of the intersection of Wash¬ington and Twenty-fifth street. From this point the crowd "serpentined" to corner of Twenty-fourth and Wash¬ington, giving Nye's Clothing Store and Ogden Furniture Store windows a test for resistance of vibration. What? No, we managed to keep the freshmen from putting their feet through them. At this intersection, a few more yells were given and also a song. Again the snake was on its way and the next stop was in front of the Alhambra Theatre. Mr. Skin¬ner received the benefit of the yell here. Once more off and we found ourselves at the steps of the city jail. A "jailey" sort of a yell was given here and then the fun began. Here is the story: Shorty Matt¬son,, our student body president, bravely opened the screen door of the jail, then he touched the door¬knob and hokus pokus, Markie found himself inside the jail. A wise look¬ing plain clothes gentleman, sup¬posedly connected with the police department, was angrily but authori¬tatively growling at our poor, inno¬cent, scared student-body president. Markie got out of the jail all right and the parade proceeded on up Twenty-fifth. (But what we would like to know is, if the said plain clothes gentleman who displayed so much bravery has received any pro-! motion or raise in salary yet.) Be¬ing at Twenty-fifth and Washington again, we yelled and yelled and yelled and then yelled again. Finally a cou¬ple of songs were sung, the yell for the team was given, and the crowd was dismissed. Believe us, this was some snake dance and any one who failed to be in the swim missed the time of their life. But don't worry, for there will be some more snake dances this year. —O-H-S— Max: "I was unconscious for about three hours today." Bill C.: "What was the trouble- accident?" Max: "No, I took a nap." Emmert: "They say that jazz is dead." Eleanor: "I thought it was dying from the weird noises it made." O. H. S. GRIDDERS GRAB FIRST LEAGUE GAME Brady Makes Only Touch¬down; Cox Brings in Another Point In the fatsest and cleanest football contest ever held here the Tigers vanqnished the Davis eleven by a 7-to-0 score. The game was well played and the teams played even ball. The only scoring of the game came in the last few minutes of play in the first quarter when "Smitty" suc¬ceeded in completing a forward pass to Brady, who took the oval over the line for a touchdown. Bill Cox kicked a drop over the bar for an ad¬ditional point. In the second quarter the Tigers kept_ up their speedy work but the Davis crew managed to keep them from scoring. The third quarter was a little slower than the first two but good ball was played. The fourth quarter found both teams fighting for touchdowns. Each side made the same number of first downs. In the last half both teams reverted to forward passes, which as a whole were unsuccessful. Both teams had strong lines and they held up well. It would be hard to pick out any individual stars because of the good work of every man, but the work of Smitty, Norton, Linford and Rob- bins was exceptionally good. The Tigers had the edge on the "Pumpkin Rollers" from start to finish and the game ended with the ball in Ogden's hands. The lineup: Ogden Davis Zinn le D.

The Bear River team was clearly outclassed. Its line was weak and the backfield was slow in getting under way. The fast Boxelder team tore through easily for long gains. The Boxelder second team played about half of the game and was al¬most as effective as the first team. The only score for the Bear River team came in the second quarter when a drop-kick was made. —O-H-S— SOME LIAR There was a young rascal named Dave, Who lied all his life like a knave; While living he lied And he lied when he died, And he's now lying still—in his grave. EVERYBODY UP TO BRIGHAM THURS. AND ROOT!
