Show UTAH'S GRID ELEVEN WON 3 AND LOST 2 During the football season just closed the University of Utah won three games and lost two. Victories were scored over the University of Southern California, the Utah Aggies and the University of Colorado. The Crimson was beaten at Fort Collins by the Colorado Colo-rado Aggies by a score of 32 to 6. The other defeat was administered by Colorado Colora-do college on Thanksgiving day in SaUVV Lake. The visitors scored three touclV!. downs against one for the local aggre- gL gation. The prospects looked very bright a4 the opening of the season and became brighter with every contest until the end of the season drew near. The victory vic-tory which the Colorado Aggies won waa not really earned, in the estimation of the Utah and Colorado critics who saw the game. The Crimson men outplayed their heavier opponeuts and were on the offensive most of the time. On the other hand, the victory of the , Colorado Springs team was really won. Whether it would have been so had i Utah played up to its previous form is a question. The Utah players blamed the defeat to the sudden, slump of the i Crimson, rather than the strength of the invaders. The Utah eleven was the lighter team and depended almost entirely en-tirely on complicated shift plays. The 1 field was in an icy condition and many fumbles resulted. In its three victories Utah played re- ; markable football. The smashing' attack of the Crimson at Los Angeles against 1 the California eleven won much praise from the native sons. The core was 27 to 6. Neither the Utah Aggies nor the University Uni-versity of Colorado was very strong, and the contests with these institutions resulted in top-heavy scores in both instances. |
