As an example, note the scores of the Snow College games which were played about three weeks apart. Down on tne onow court early in the year, the lads dropped a 6 decision and were never actually in the fray. On the other hand, here at Hill last Sat urday, the Snow boys were nara pressed to register a 9 triumph, and had the Hilltoppers had any luck at all early in the game, they might very well have won. wn 71-4- 46-3- fl 3 - fShj m life The Hill AFB Squad takes on the University of Utah Frosh team tomorrow nite at the Ute Fieldhouse. of Utah game.
