Show Freshman FootballFreshman football last year was much more successful than at any previous time, with the exception of the 1913 season. The Infants won every game played, defeating in turn the Granite inter-high school champions, 9 to 6; the West Side high school, 16 to 10; and then the Ogden High School by a much larger score.Raymond Summer was coach of the team following the withdrawal of Tommy Fitz-patrick, who left to take up the job of coaching the new East Side High School. Summer succeeded in making his men work and the victories were the result.Five experienced men were on the team and a far greater number of men who had never played, and some never seen, the good old American game as played in the big cities of the far, far West.Breckon, Ward, Warner and Kline were four of the brightest stars on the team. Breckon and Ward both are Salt Lake high school graduates, having been coached under such veterans as "Dad" Callahan, "Heine" Richardson, "Dad" Convil and Bruce. Their playing showed the results of this early work and they were two of the most reliable men on the team when a gain was needed.Warner came from Ogden high school, where he underwent finishing touches from Coaches Brown and Romney. He played a line position and was a great factor in opening holes when needed.Kline was an unknown. He had had little training except in the sand lots of the far south, but developed into a quarter-back of rare promise. His drop kicking and placement work were features of his work.Other men on the team who showed up well were Ramseyer from Granite and Lewis from Salt Lake High School. Ramseyer was one of the most dependable backs that could be asked, and the same might be said of Lewis, who went through the line time and again for gains.Freshman-West Side High School Game111 |
