The first Brigham Young touchdown, midway in the first quarter, followed two blocked punts, with Gillespie. Cougar end, as the villain in the Bobcat plot. Finally Stroup. Montana State guard and a former Billings high school star, recovered a Brigham Young fumble but on the next play Eastman's punt was short and rolled out of bounds on the 22-yard line. Durrant Scores The Cougars took the ball at this spot.

Merkley, a stellar half If there ever was one, crashed the line for a first down on the 11 -yard line. Durrant smashed to the two-yard line on the next play. Merkley made It first down with less than a yard to go and Durrant went over for the first score of the game. Montana State held for downs on its own 14-yard line early in the second period, but the Cougars were not to be denied. Taking of the ball on the Bobcat 48-yard line after a punt, the Provo aggregation punched the line and skirted the ends to gain consistently.

As In the previous drive, Merkley and Durrant did most of the ball carrying. Cougar hopes waned for a moment when an offside penalty cost five yards and put them back to the Bobcat 12-yard line after they had been to the seven. A forward pass failed and it was third down. LaComb got away from punt formation to carry the ball to the six-yard line and Merkley went across for a touchdown. LaComb dropklcked for the extra point.

Long Scoring Drive The longest scoring drive of the game occurred toward the end of the period, as the Cougars took the ball on downs on their own 12-yard line and carried it the remaining 83 yards for a touchdown, with Merkley again breaking into the scoring column. His end run for 38 yards was the feature of this drive. LaComb passed to the versatile Gillespie for the extra point. The fourth period developed Into a punting duel for the first five minutes. Then Hutchinson fumbled and Montana State recovered on the Brigham Young 32-yard line.

One play lost four yards, but on the next Overturf, former Boaeman high school star, let loose with a forward pass which went to Taylor on the 21-yard line. The pass was not completed, but the gain was allowed because of Interference. Overturf again pulled back from the line as the ball was snapped and let fly with another toss. This time it went to Purdum and he slipped through a whole flock of Brigham Young goal defenders until he was brought down from behind on the 2-yard line. Olivera went through the line for a touchdown on the next play.

The try for point failed. Merkley Intercepts Brigham Young received the next klckoff and K. Hart made a brilliant return from his won goal line to the Cougar 37. The Utah boys were forced to kick, however, and Montana State again launched a drive which produced two first downs before the ever alert Merkley halted the threat by intercepting a pass on his own 18-yard line. The Cougars pushed their way down to the Bobcat 25-yard line before the final gun sounded.

Since it was the first game of the season for both squads. Coaches Rom-ney of the Cougars and Schubert Dyche of the Bobcats substituted freely in the second half in order to give promising material a test under fire. Dyche had reason to be especially pleased with the work of Art Overturf, who was making his first start in intercollegiate competition. He proved adept at smashing and passing, as well, and brought the fans to their feet with a pair of hard tackles behind the Cougar line of scrimmage a few minutes after he had entered the game. First Period The Bobcats kicked off to the Brigham Young five-yard line.

After two plays for no gain, Merkley punted to the Cats four-yard line. Eastman's return kick was blocked on his own 26-yard line. The Cougars couldnt gain and Merkley's pass was knocked down. The Cats took the ball on their own 22. Wheeler recovered a Bobcat fumble on the Cats' one-yard marker, but later a Cougar fumble was nabbed by Stroup of Billings on his own nine-yard line.

Eastman kicked and it went out on his own 30-yard line. Merkley made 11 around left end. (The cold was Intense.) Durrant forced eight through center and Durrant carried it over. Warner's try for place kick hit the bar. Brigham Young 6.

And so Is this boy Jack Medlca. who waa considered the greatest swimmer In the world, here In America, but who went over to Japan a little while ago and found himself trailing some of the Japs, no doubt very much to his surprise. Those Japs can swim no mistake about it. They proved it in the recent Olympic games, and they're going faster and faster and look likely to do a lot more winning in the next Olympic.

They are little fellows, but they're tough. And they use science. The papers lately have given a lot of space to one "Schoolboy" Rove, big. husky youngster pitching for Detroit and getting right up among the record holders. We've had a marvelous lot of pitchers among the veterans and old-timers.

Why. the way they were treating rum.

you would think maybe fce voted for Hoover. The upshot of It probably will be that General Johnson will wake up Christmas morning and nothing In his stocking except a hole. Santa Claus appeared at the NRA today under the alias of Simon Rubin, president of the Whole Sale Toy Trade association. He had d.sguised himself thoroughly by leaving eff his false whiskers. A lot of red hot dope Sast Claus was passed out for the first time as soon as Professor Rubin (to preserve his alias) went into action.

He's got 6.000 people working for him and they get an average salary cf 72 bucks apiece a week. We intended to put It up to Professor Rubin to explain how he got down all thoee chimneys -in one night (yea. we've been skeptical for a couple of years now) but one of his assistants says nuts to you. we're net passing out trade secrets. The professor complaint was that la one of those whiri-around -three-times acta that NRA staees every now and then he got tangled up la the wholesale dry gooes code.

Once the toy people got under the dry goods code, they found they couldn't get out. Well, savs NRA. where would you like to be? They're that down there they got a code for every complaint. Professor Rubin savs ar.T place except the wholesale 'dry goods code. Have you rot a wholesale stationery code? He asks.

They had to look that one up. but pretty soon a fellow comes back and say yeah they got one of thcee. "Wrap it up." says the professor, anxious to get back to his kns kricg-Une. NRA r.ever allowed Itself It be stampeded into letting a fellow charge codes. They took Santa Claus" name and address and told him they would let him know if anything turned up.
