| Show I A by FRANK K BAKER BAKER- Wanting to do s something and doing it arc are two distinct distinct dis and different matters fraught with occasional disappointment dis appointment according to Utah's graduate manager o oj oi athletics Theron Parmelee in a written answer to thi thid d departments department's comment last Saturday that Utah is disappointing pointing thousands of intermountain fans by not bringing a major intersectional football rival to Salt Lake City ir it 1935 Parmelee would have It distinctly understood that Utah Is ts willing to arrange such sueh a game particularly after the splendid splendid splendid did way the fans supported the great Oregon game here last season with the record turnout of He writes too that Utah tried to book a major rival from some lome other confer conference nce for the coming campaign but explains they wouldn't come when we want T TIn In addition to Utah's reluctance to play such juch uch a foe whenever it can get them the thc Redskin athletic officials went angling and got two bites at exactly the same samei 3 i time The Utes wanted a home horpe and home arrangement ir with the University of Hawaii because the trip to Hono- Hono t t f p. p J M Ii VI n- n lulu will be a dand dandy stimulus from the players players' stand stand- point The Utes also wanted to continue relations with Oregon All this was very fine until both Hawaii and Oregon Insisted upon coming to Salt Lake City in 1936 The 1935 schedule suffers suffer as a result Parmelee writes that the not to book First let me say university was only willing a home intersectional game Jame but spent considerable time and effort cHort to do doso doso so 10 not only to satisfy the publics public's desire but also its own but to date dateno no method has been devised to force teams to play pay us in Salt Lake City at atthe atthe atthe the time we we want against their S will Although Utah was kicked off oU the top perch of the R. R M. M C. C roost It Is It still ill a a. member of that group roup and as such luch Its first schedule obligation is to them The dethroned kin king must make a determined effort to pick up at least leut a few of the much scattered laurels or else die take another panning by John Public assisted and abetted by sports editors Utah Plays All Conference Foes Regarded as Big Six of the Utah has again scheduled six conf conference rence games as it has done the past Jast two years Please note right here that it is the ONLY UTAH SCHOOL TO PLAY ALL of ot the large schools of ot the conference The fact that It took on Montana State certainly should bring no great criticism because by comparison Utah has one of the toughest conference con ference schedules listed If It Utah played the six conference schools Oregon Ore Ore- gon Con Hawaii and one other large e outside team the Society for the Prevention Pre of oC Cruelty to Animals would enter a restraining order and Coach Armstrong would have to rent a hospital ward after about the second game fame for the rest of the season to take care of his injured players Furthermore with the injuries from such a heavy schedule Old Man Defeat would shuffle into the picture so man many times accompanied by his buddy Les Percentage that again you would have something to write about Last year we played six conference games ames Colorado college Brigham Brigham Brig Brig- ham Young and Utah State in Salt Lake City Denver Colorado U. U and Colorado A A. C. C away from home We played Drake away and Oregon here This gave ave the home fans tans only two outstanding games judging by results S SNow Now look at the 1925 1915 schedule Montana State Denver Colorado Colorado Colo Cob rado U. U and Utah State at home with Oregon Brigham Young Colorado Colo Cob rado A. A C. C and Hawaii awa away from home It It Is a fact that there will be three of the six big games games' of the conference In Salt Lake To have base 50 per cent of these games here Is something worthwhile and by br comparison with last sear ear presents a aur avery avery ur very satisfactory borne home schedule since it was Impossible to obtain a foe here berc The Montana 1 game ame will be a low price game rame of ef course and the other games Jlmes are all real drawing cards You and others Insisted that Denver cr be brought here this year and nd they ther will be The Colorado U. U and nd Utah game ante has always been a a. areal areal real rul card and of course coune the Utah Aggles are a traditional rival Look ahead to 1936 because In arranging the 1935 schedule it Is necessary to keep the following year in mind From present indications it appears that Utah may have the following home games Brigham Young Colorado Aggles Oregon and Ha Hawaii wali I Now Frank crank up your alphabet dispenser and try tryl 0 l to find a kick about that Then average it up and see if having having haying hav hay ing three big intersectional games in three years is not an honest attempt to satisfy ourselves and the public In regard to home intersectional games as well as playing all the tough teams in the conference in an effort cHort to make a good conference conference conference confer confer- ence showing Sincerely yours Signed THERON S. S PARMELEE In listing these problems problem Parmelee has merely reiterated a group roup of at difficulties that I pointed out in the very same article which inspired his interesting epistle I recall two lines lines' lines of ot bold type as follows Utes Already Booked for Eight Games Making It Difficult to More Which is another way o of intimating it may be too late now no to do anything about it On the other hand band a review of oC the 1935 schedule shows Utah at home with Montana State Denver Colorado U. U and Utah That virtually means Utah will have only three home borne games and one practice session for the home customers because no matter how you ou look at it a 11 game with Montana State can be little more than a glorified practice tice session similar to the Colorado college game here last fall fRIl The home fans have a right to expect more football than that Arranging Ar Ar- ranging ranging such a schedule is not left solely to Parmelee though for he must gain gam consent of an entire athletic council including Coach Ike Armstrong Armstrong Arm Arm- strong which certainly isn't the easiest job in th the world P Parmelee's e s sletter letter is is ex exceptionally fine in that it portrays a deep conscientious conscientious con spirit of obligation to give the fans what they want without Jeopardizing the welfare of the team No one will deny that the Oregon and Utah A Aggie le games more than atoned for the lack of color in the Colorado colle college e game ame last season Inasmuch as the fans and university both are so desirous of playing a major foe in Salt SaIL Lake City it seems seems' reasonable to expect such arrangements ar each year hereafter as soon as the present unfortunate situa tion Is is past |
