tgmni-lar' RIEIED SWIENSIEN HOWARD IIAUSKNECHT CIHIITY Helper Football . With eight lettermen returning and a squad of thirty-five enthusiastic aspirants to work with, Coach Reed Swenson turned out a fairly good football team. Although hampered by injuries and eligibility difficulties Murray succeeded in making a fair showing in one of the strongest divisions in the state. During the season a number of under-classmen were develop- ed and Murray looks forth to a very successful season next year. Murray opened the season with Bingham on the latter's field by dropping a close game by a score of 9-fl. Murray's loss may be attributed to the lack of a scoring punch. Time and again Murray worked the ball far into the Miner's territory but lacked the necessary punch to put the ball over. Several costly fumbles also hindered Murray's chances. The second game of the season was played on the home campus with Grantsville. For three quarters the teams fought practically an even battle, but in the fourth quarter Grants- ville weakened and Murray, taking advantage of the breaks, scored twice. Une was the result of a pass from Oliver to Pierson and the other, a forty-yard run b Park after intercepting a pass. The game ended with Murray the victor with a score of IZXO. The third game of the season was played with Cyprus on the latter's field. This game proved to be the most bitterly fought game of the season. Cyprus scored in the first half by straight line plunging. Murray came back in the second half and scored as a. result of a pass to Deniro. The remainder of the game being fought on even terms, ended a tie, 6-6. The final game of the season was played on the home campus against Tooele, the strongest team in the division and later the state champions. lt proved to be a matter of a large and more experienced team against a light and fighting team, but the advantage of weight and experience proved too much for Murray. Although Murray lost the game, 56-0, it was considered a creditable showing against a team like Tooele. 6l'IfJ -v'1'N if T - ' W TTT- on-MTW 4 T Page 58
