Show Cougars Hope to Stop C. U. 's Buffalo Herd q Coach Edwin R. Kimball of B. Y. U. isn't exactly a baffalo hunter, hun-ter, but he's spending a lot of time this week devising ways and means of halting Colorado university's univer-sity's stampeding herd of Bisons. Realizing that Coach Bernard (Bunny) Oakes' grid squadron is the team to beat in the R. M. C. football race, Mentor Kimball is priming his warriors for their invasion in-vasion of Boulder Saturday. In two games to date the Buffa-los Buffa-los have romped over Missouri, 14-6 in an intersectional game, and over Utah Aggies, 1936 conference confer-ence champions, 33-0, in a league struggle. B. Y. U.'s record is not , so impressive. The Sons of Brig-ham Brig-ham were stopped by Utah, 14-0, and defeated Greeley, 7-0 and California Cali-fornia Aggies, 34-0. Monday's practice was spent in developing the "Y" running attack at-tack and in brushing up on the forward passing system that clicked click-ed so effectively against California. Califor-nia. It is likely the Cougars will hurl passes all over the C. U. lot, especially if their running attack refuses to function. Coaches Pleased Coach Kimball and Assistant Floyd Millet were heartened with the fine showing Saturday of players returned from the injured list. Captain Wayne Soffe and Jackson Jewkes turned in fine performances per-formances at end and halfback, respectively. In the Cal. Aggies game Meldon Warner zoomed" into the spotlight with a fine ground-gaining exhibition. exhi-bition. The tailbacks, Christensen and Roberts, looked good, and Jack Stringham was his old self. Walter Driskill, assistant Colorado Colo-rado U. coach, scouting the California Cali-fornia Aggie game, praised the "Y" ends, Soffe and Waters, as two of the finest in the conference. He was impressed also with the work of the tackles and guards. Gerald Gillespie, even though he lost a few teeth in the battle, caught the C. U. scout's eye with his stellar work. |
