U. of Wyoming .... 7 U. of Utah 70 "The greatest aggregation of backs that the University of Utah ever brought together" that is the way the spectators at Oummings field termed the Crimson baekfleld men yesterday while they were pounding away at Wyoming for a score of 70 to 7. Two complete sets of theso were used, and every man proved a star. They played straight football, line plunges and end runs, but their attack was so furious and so rapid that the Wyoming boys became dazed, though they never stopped fighting. fight-ing. Mark and Darrell Gardner, Romney and Lilli& are the backs left over from last year, and they have all improved wonderfully, partly on account of bard work and partly because of the stiff competition thoy have been up against. To these have been added Ward, Breckon, Wilson and Royster. The first three named have all along enjoyed an enviable reputation, and improved this by their snowing yesterday. Royster Roy-ster is a new man to the local fans, but he will be well known from now on. Yesterday he proved himself the equal of his teammates. His offensive and defensive tactics were just aB daring dar-ing or just as furious, as the occasion demanded. Line Is Improved. The line showed a big improvement over its work last week against the alumni, but it is not trained to the point where it can hope to match its strength and trickery against that of the beBt Colorado teams, at least not in the manner it wants- to. The men are game and willing to fight to the last. No one seriously doubts that. For this reason it did not make a really poor showing yesterday. But the line of Wyoming and the line of the Colorado Colo-rado Aggies, whom the Crimson meets next Saturday, are very different. Wyoming gave the Crimson a good practice and gave Coach Norgren a chance to get a line on his men. That is about all. In every department Wyoming was outclassed, unless it be at the forward pass game, which Utah did not try once. At this. It made its only touchdown, a long pass from Craig on his own 5-yard line to Wilcox, who broke free and sprinted sixty-five yards for a touchdown. Tn the latter stage of the play he was given splendid interference by his teammates. team-mates. This was in the first quarter, and In the second period the Cowboys worked their aerial football to even better bet-ter advantage, working their way to the Crimson 10-yard line only to find their progress stopped by the end of the half. But the forward passes never worked successfully again. Lots of Pep. Utah had plenty of "pep" and was ag- gressive from the first: Mclntyre booted the ball for a full sixty or aixty-flve yards practically on every kick-off, but he was not called upon to punt once. The punting of Craig, the Wyoming fullback, was frequent, but on the whole it was weak. The visitors fumbled more often than the local boys, and took out time for minor injuries quite frequently. Utah's first score was made on a touch- down by Darrell Gardner after four minutes min-utes of play. Prior to this a series of gains had been made on line plunges by Wa rd and Ma rk Gard n er. Mclntyre booted the ball between the posta on the try for the goal. Later, in the first period, Romney tried for a drop-kick from the 30-yard line at the extreme side of the field and failed. A minute or two later Wyoming scored Its touchdown and pulled a fine "boner" immediately after. The Wyoming man who carried the ball out for the try for the goal forgot himself and laid the ball j on the ground, a Utah man falling on it. It happened that one Crimson man was not back of the goal line or the Cowboys Cow-boys would not have been given a chance for the goal. Utah Makes a Lot. The "U" boys scored two touchdowns In the second quarter. The first was carried car-ried over by Mark Gardner by a twenty-yard twenty-yard plunge through left tackle after the ball had been steadily worked down the field. The next was scored by Ward on a five-yard drive through right tackle, only after Wyoming had bucked up and held back Its opponent fr two downs. Drew was hurt In attempting to tackle Ward, but continued to play after a short rest. The aecond half was just one touchdown touch-down after another. The locals would work the ball down the field, always making their downs, with one exception. Then some member of the back field would plough over for another six points and Mclntyre would kick the goal. M. Gardner scored the first touchdown in this period, and was then taken out, Breckon taking his place. Ward made the next touchdown on an Intercepted forward pass. Romney scored on a long end run. and then Royster, who had taken Rom-ney's Rom-ney's place, made three In a row. This ended the game. The Summary. The lineup and summary: v Wyoming. Utah.
