The University Univer-sity of I tah " nod Devils" won their opening game ol their Rocky Moun-I Moun-I tain conference football schedule tnis afternoon against the i;rignam loung un. erslty eleven 4'J to 0. It was not until tho start of tho third quarter that I tah got going in style, tne B. Y. U. players being unable un-able to stop the adding mat bine from : running up 30 points ln this period. I It must be said in Justice to the B. Y. I I . lads that they tought L'tan to a I standstill in the first three periods. holding the Crimson to only 1 ypolnis I during tho first three periods. The rrovo boys fought well and kept fighting some more and, with costly penalties against the Crimson, the " team looked like it had a chance ' until the fourth period, when Utah snowed them under with their overhead over-head game and the startling end runs. The Crimson offense looked real ln the fourth quarter and the spectacular work brought the crowd to Its feet time and again Utah w;as working I all the time to roll up the points but the dogged determination of the visitors visit-ors kept them back Two touchdowns I wore lost ln the second quarter. Ste . -' ens made a touchdown after receiving i a forward pass from Tauter, and ran 30 yards. A penalty brought this play back. Again in this period Den-zil Den-zil Lee carried the ball to the "Y" three-yard line and fumbled. Many ragged spots were shown In the Crlm-1 son team, but tho coaches were woll pleased as the boys found themselves at the last of the game and performed well. The "Y" men were able to Sift through the Utah line at times and blocked up many plays. i ( i s PUOV OITES, The Crimson team excelled In an departments and the "Y" boys show that experience will mean much for them They made tholr downs a few times during the game, but Partrldg-J was forced to kick time and again. In the kicking part of the game, Taufer and Jewkes were superior to Partridge. Part-ridge. Smith and Champion, the two Utah safety men, returned Part-j ridge's kicks nearly every tlrue for big yardage, while the Crimson ends were down under their kicks and usually nailed tho man ln his tracks. Tin Utah flashes were great and tho improvement over last week's game against Idaho has put new spirit Into the players and thrr backers, who can see a championship aggregation at th "U" If tho boys continue to improve the way they have during the past week. It must be said th.-t there is room for improvement and the football work of the Utah team has only started,. With a small squad to work with, the coaches are driving their charges harder than ever and expect to have their men In tip top shape for the big gamo with the University Uni-versity of Colorado at Boulder next Saturday afternoon. YOl N. ST R One man on the B. Y. U. team stood out over the playing of all other men and this person was Young, the big left tackle, who toro through time and again and broke up the Utah plays. He was through on forward passes and his tackling was the beat on the field. Young never stopped and the Crimson players had much respect for this man. Most of the plays were sent at him to start with and then they were shifted Into the weaker spots on the "Y" line, but een then Young was able to get into tho thickest of tho playing. Partridge Part-ridge did well and Packard playnd fair while he was in the game. The Utah defense stopped irb the "Y" plays and on only two occasions were the visitors able to put over any long gains. One of these was pulled off by Partridge, when he circled Utah's left end for 20 yards The other was a lateral pass on a trick play from Packard to Partridge but the next time that this play was tried" Jewkes nearly Intercepted. Had he been able to get the ball. h- would have had a clear field In front of him. Tho Utah defense easily solved tho "Y" formations and blocked everything and the "V" was forced to kick often To pick stars on the I'tah team would be an Injustice to the men. but th.- fans certainly liked the work of Captain Smith and Vore Champion, the two pilots of the Utah eleven. These two youngsters run their team well and their sensational end runs and nturn of punts were wonderful Smithy" received a blow in tho head In tin-'first quarter and was fore -d out until the "cuckoo" feeling had du d down. He went back In the fourth period and ran rings around the Provo boys. He also came Into the limelight with his drop kicking again and kicked over another field goat from the 40-yard line and at a difficult diffi-cult angle Reld Jewkes also went down Into the hall of fame by his spectacular running. Reld broke through the " Y" line for long gains and time after tlmo he went around the ends for big gains for Utah. He hit the line like a bullet, when ground was n bd lb- plaed the game well and will make nn even better man when he gets his condition to ' the point that it should be. Densil Lee and Dutch Taufer at halfbacks also fought their way through tho " Y" team These men played the best ball that they have for Utah and the passing of Taufor, Jewk.s. Smith and Champion brought tin- fans to their feet time and again. LINE WORK GOOD. "Brick" Stevens, Henry Hurren. "Ike" Clarko and Jimmy Moylo stood out In their line work and held like B stone wall. Moylo received a bad injury to his nose, but this coming star for Utah would not quit and bore Into play after play that was sent ovor the line. His tackling was vicious. Big Haryey Hancock got hack In the game arid put some flht Into Utah's forward defense. He was weakened from his Injury and was taken out so that he could rest up for the coming struggle with the Unlver- j slty of Colorado. Smith and 1 rt h 1 In were given their chance on the end positions also and display- d some good stuff for Utah. Many substitutes wore sent Into the game at tho end ami these men fought like tigers, who are always clawing what is before them Two more of L'tah's cripples got into the game in the fourth period. "Brick" Whitney went in for Lee and ; Hagen went in for Jewkes and both of these men did well. Whitney took over the last two touchdowns for Utah 1 and could not be stopped when he took the ball. With Watkins. Hagen, Jewkes. Whitney, Leo and Taufer In the baokfield, I tah will bo well carod for and the 'Tlmson will have two shifty pilots In Smith and Champion. Densil Lee was the only man to c-celve c-celve a bad Injury at all and he will be able to get back Into the game. "Crip" Evans and Watkins watched the gamexfrom the Bide lines and this proved to be their hardest football game for Utah, as each was eager to get back into the battle rhe B Y V. boys were not disheartened dis-heartened about their defeat and their backers are proud of the wonderful light the men put up. They will work hard for their next battle With the Colorado School of Mines at Provo and expect yet to win a conference battle before the 1922 curtain rings down on the gridiron.
