SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1933. Minson-Mecham Are Outstanding Stars For Brigham Eleven Tigers Show Power In First Period, But Fold Up In Closing Quarters Ogden High's football champion¬ship aspirations were shattered com¬pletely at Brigham City Friday when the Tigers bowed before the well coached Box Elder machine, 21 to 6, on a water soaked gridiron. The Tigers, heavy pre-game favor¬ites, outplayed the Bees in the first half but were badly outplayed in the closing periods of the heated struggle. The victory places Box Elder and Preston in a deadlock for the region title with four victories and no de-feats each. The Bees decided the league en¬counter in the first three minutes of play. Maero scooped up the open¬ing kickoff and ran the ball 70 yards before he was brought down. With the ball on the Ogden 16 yard line the Bees needed just five line plays to account for their opening touchdown. Mecham hit off tackle for the first tally and Mecham place kicked for the extra point. Ogden's only score came in the second period. After a sustained drive had carried the leather to the Bee six yard mark, Burbidge, behind perfect interference raced over the goal line. A feeble attempt to convert from scrimamge failed At this juncture of the game Box Elder led 7 to 6. Ogden gained nine first downs in the first half as against only four for Box Elder. In the final half Ogden listed but two first downs and Box Elder. tallied seven. SAD MISTAKE The Tigers made the sad mistake of waiting until fourth down to punt while deep in their own territory in the third period. The punt was blocked and although Kennedy re¬covered for the Tigers, the Bees were given possession of the leath¬er on the 30 yard line. Mecham raced through the center of the Tiger forward wall for 15 yards and on the next play Minson circled the Ogden left end for the second touchdown. Three Ogden players permitted Minson to travel unmolested for the second score. Mecham again booted a perfect placement. In the closing period Ogden open¬ed up with a passing attack while deep in her own territory and this paved the way for the final Bee score. The Brighamites intercepted the leather on the Ogden 36 yard line and worked the ball to the Og¬den four yard stripe. On fourth down Minson went off tackle on one of Earl Ferguson's famous plays to score. Mecham again booted the placement. The Tigers tried frantically to score in the closing period and while they completed a number of forward passes they failed to get within striking distance of the Box Elder goal line. Box Elder, on the other hand, had the leather on the Tiger 14 yard stripe when the final gun blasted to end the game. Earl Ferguson's aggregation play¬ed heads up football all the way and deserved their victory. Mecham was the outstanding performer in the backfield for the winners. Minson also starred. On the line Warburton stood out for the Bees. LONG GALLOP Kennedy listed a 40-yard gallop for one of the thrills of the. game and was the outstanding Ogden performer. The husky back sparkled throughout the game. The Bees of 1933 are a typical Ferguson coached aggregation. They continue to use, and with fine re-sults, the off-tackle smashes that have played havoc with many an Ogden team and appear to be serious contenders for the division and state title. Ogden's gridders Friday appeared to be overconfident. The triumph of the Bees was a decided upset, but they were the better team Friday. Summary: BOX ELDER OGDEN N.
