able recovering abilities, they came back in the third period with a hard- earned touchdown. Martin Hoggan showed great skill in this game and was the cause of spoiling many of the East plays. Although Mort entered the scrape with a badly injured ankle, together with Pugh, he and Adams did much of the heavy work, and deserve praise for their spirit and tight. Hale, left halfback, proved to be the star of the third quarter. He inter- cepted a pass, made a long run, and scored a touchdown. The squad came home victorious from the contest with the Provo Bulldogs, winning by two touchdowns. The Victory was accredited to better headwork and a stronger defense. This was a hard game, played well, making it extremely interesting. In the iinal period, Morr carried the ball over the line for the second score. Hoggan dashed around the end and the extra point was made. The closing score was thirteen to nothing in favor of the Saints. 1 The game with West High School was the star game and the high spot of the season. It surprised even athletic fans, critics, and the most fanatical backers. Here, the Saints showed that they could flght harder than anyone, defeating the Panthers by a score of twelve to two. For the first time since 1919, the Saints downed the West. Here, once again, that same spirit brought the L. D. S. through With fiying colors. M. MORR HOGGAN HALE Fullback End Halfbach M34 14 5 gem-

sary instruction in the football line, but they were also instrumental in bringing about a spirit of cooperation and good sportsmanship that did more for the squad than anything else. Each player worked his hardest for the team and the school, and did not seek after individual recognition. The Saints could never have overcome their traditional rivals, the Panthers, if it had not been for this attitude. It made for additional enthusiasm among the spectators as well as encouraging the players themselves. Although most of the members of this year's team are graduating, the outlook for a successful season next year is anything but dark. Several factors should aid in bringing about another typical Saint team. Ralph Gray has spent much time with the Juniors this year and he has found many prospective stars among them. These same Juniors have profited by a short spring football workout, under the guidance of West, Couch, and Captain Pugh. Some of the most promising men who will bid for team places next season are: Hoggan and Murphy of the 1929 first squad; and Sam Bennion, Bud Bennion, Smith, Emery, Ridd, Kerr, Dunford, Clark, Ralphs, Haycock, and Hicks of the Junior squad. In addition, there are a number of clever newcomers who will give the above men a good race for regular positions. And so, with this new material and the same excellent coaching, L. D. 8. should boast of another championship-contending team in nine- teen-thirty. BACKMAN CRAGUN C. BENNION Fullback Tackle Guard mtg 147 186...
