always prepared to substitute for either of these two. Grant Bennion and Frank Dun- can were tackles, having Wallace Cragun and Ray Baggs as able substitutes. The backfield played well in all the games, as did the rest of the team. McKay Hale and Allan Adams made good as halfbacks, while Lawrence Murphy handled the substitute position. Our fullback was uFrogll Morr. He was always on the job; but if he was unable to play, we could fall back on Melvin Backman. Elwood Penrose filled the position of quarterback. The fellows mentioned above were those who comprised the squad. They all went to Rexe burg for one game. In the annual clash between Granite and L. D. S., the opening game Of the season, the Farmers won by a single touchdown. Our fighting spirit held throughout the contest; but Granite made one good pass just before the whistle sounded, making it an unusually CAPTAIN PUGH exciting game and a close score. Several times Guard during the course of the game, it looked as if the Saints were headed for a score. There were times when they carried the ball into the Farmers terri- tory so fast and so dangerously close, that it took all of Granitels reserve energy to hold the llpigskin out of these risky positions.

The game with Jordan was one of the star frays of the season. In it the superiority of L. D. S. showed up. Both teams, r Ializing that a second defeat meant elimination from the race, fought hard th the end to win the contest. In the second period of the game, the Saints pu over the only score that was made. A long pass from Hale to Smith bro ght the ball far into the territory of the Beetdiggers. Adams then pushed through tackle for a four yard gain, netting a touchdown. Jordan, more etermined than ever to defeat the Saints, came back in the third quarter ith some fast plays.
