Pluck and dogged determination were the chief resources of the Pirate squade which was comparatively small, Although th Pirates had a mediocre season in Winning games, they provided many thrills in the close encounters which they lost. A sensational spurt by the Cyprus quintet in their last four .games enabled the Pirates to ascend from a humble position and finish in sixth place. The plucky Cyprus crew lost its Hrst six battles. A number of the games were packed with thrills and glories while others lacked spirit and action. In their initial encounter Cyprus met a disappointment at the hands of Tooele by a score of 30-28. From this point Cyprus lost four more games-Grantsville, 32-263 Jordan, 42-11g Davis, 27-235 Murray, 46-233 and then lost again to Tooele. WN

Cyprus with inspirational play entered the fray as the underdogsg therefore they pos- sessed a real fighting spirit, A savage strug- gle ensued with the Pirates showing unex- pected power. The line stiffened and the Granitians were repulsed on the thirty yard line. With the score 6-0 this was probably the cleanest, hardest fought, and most inter- esting game of the Pirate season. Bingham's fighting football team came to Cyprus in an endeavor to repeat last year's triumph. The Gold and Blue gridders playing in their last home game displayed a team with football brains and sportsman- ship. Though Cyprus defeated the Miners by a 12-0 score, it does not indicate the superiority of the Pirates that was apparent to all who saw the game. With the close of the season Cyprus was defeated in its last two encounters. Davis with a large fast team trounced Cyprus to the tune of 32-6. Cyprus scored the first touchdown which was their only tally in the game. Tooele, arch rivals of Cyprus ran rough- shod over their lighter foes with a score of 42-13, The enthusiastic and victorious begin- ning of the football season was responsible for the Pirate standing which upset all prognostications of the team.

In the role of underlings the Pirates played a hustling and flawless game to defeat the league-leading Granite quintet. This victory marked the first in the history of Cyprus over a Farmer casaba tcarn. In a see-saw fray Cyprus won an exciting battle from Bingham Z1 the waning moments of the game. At fever pitch the Pirates and Darts started the final game of league play. The Davis aggregation emerged victorious after a hard fought battle against the much improved Pirate quintet. V James Sonne, star center of the Cyprus team, was the valuable scor- ing cog in the games which Cyprus won. His height and experience gave much needed assistance to the Gold and Blue defense. In spite of defeat gallant school spirit carried the team to a whirl- wind finish. 17' V16 . 7 V , . - .' XX Page Fifty-one ,- 'XQLZ fl! . 'X flxx K -l ' ' , I - 1
