The results of the football contests in Colorado on Thanksgiving have given giv-en Utah a good claim for championship champion-ship of tho Rocky mountain region. Boulder played the School of Mines to a standstill the final score being 0 to 0. Utah defeated Boulder 10 to 0 and hence could claim suprcinnc over Golden by comparative ncores. At Colorado Springs, tho University of Dcnvor defeated Colorado College bv a scoro of 7 to (5. Utah finished D. iJ. by a scor-of 21 to 0, but in tho firBt game of the season was defeated by Colorado College, tho result being G to 0. The only other learn in Colorado is tho Agricultural College. This school is out of the field because both Golden and tho Denver University won victories vic-tories from them. To tho North. Utah defeated Montana Mon-tana by tho decisive scoro of 42 to 0. Moutnna has compared favorably with tho schools of the Northwest." Last Thursday the Wardtv sipiad trimmed tho Aggies and settled their supremacy in tho btato. Tho only school in the intcrmonntain region which can Jay any claim to tho championship is Colorado College. Coach Mnddoek of tho 'Varsity holds that, as Colorado College has l-icen do-fcated do-fcated twico during tho present soason and his team but once and then in a first-season game, tho championship rightfully belongs to Utah. Coach Maddock is willing to play a post soason game with any of tho Colorado Colo-rado teams, who feel they have a look-in look-in on the championship. So far his efforts ef-forts to arrange a game of this kind have met with failure. The State School of Mines at Golden is forbidden by thoir faculty to play any games after af-ter the regular spason 'is onded. Colorado Colo-rado College hns kept mum when the question of another game was proposed before last Thursday, but the College may decide to play'Utah again. Coach Mnddoek is nwniting word from Harvey Holmes relntive to tho California trip which tho local athletes havo been trying to arrange. Ilnloss some post-season game, not at present on thc Bchedulo, is arranged, the contest con-test of Thanksgiving dav will be the last of tho year. Moro men will leave the squad this j-ear than have loft during anv season since Mnddoek look control o"f sports at tho school three years ago. Captain Bennion, Half-backs Brown and Mc-Kennn. Mc-Kennn. Quarter-backs Pitt and Scran-ton, Scran-ton, Varlcy at center and Peterson at end will leave tho school or havo played the limit allowed by the rules. Despite this fact, Maddock will have a good bunch of material lo form a new team next year. Both Barton and Palm are well-trained huskies, who will bo used for guards. In tho back field Cuddy Cud-dy Russell, the Hcston of the West, will Jio found. Tho men for the other two positions, however, will be new to the school. Sutherland will be at quarter. On the line, Ray, Bryant and Anderson Ander-son will bo in place. Besides these old men, Maddock will have a big bunch of this season's scrubs to choose from. Tho record made by the University this year js the best made by any team in the intcrmountnin region. Tho 'Varsity scored one hundred and cloven points on their opponents and had but ono touchdown marked against them. Tho playing of tho Utah team is recognized recog-nized as tho fastest and snappiest in the West. Footbnll critics all agroo that moro men cm the local squad will bo selected for tho all-star Rocky Mountain Moun-tain team than from anv other school. Tho Universitj boys "havo been extremely, ex-tremely, fortunate during the season in not meeting with any serious accidents. acci-dents. Not ono man on the team suffered suf-fered permanent injury. Russell had the thumb on his lett hand broken, but this was tho only caso in which bones wcro broken. Barton was the most bruised man on the team. Prior to the Boulder game ho was laid up for a w eek with a soro leg. Moro mon woro put , out of condition in tho Montana game than in any other contest.
