Show A CRANK K BAKER The burden of defending against Arizona's aerial I bombardment in the Utah stadium here Saturday will not not rest entirely with the backs In fact the back field may Y P play a comparatively small all part in the teams team's stand against the Blue Brigade aerials because good pass defense dike Jike virtual virtually all football assets begins assets begins right in the line As the ringleader of Arizona's aerial Dave Wynne Is supposed to be extremely accurate with the hand grenades but if Utah's line bats his defenders down in a hurry and starts to crowd him even Mr Wynne will have his trouble hitting the target No matter how clever a passer is he has to have time to tomake wake make his tosses click In the first place hes he's got to wait for the receivers to get across the line of scrimmage and in position If v hes he's got to throw the ball to keep from frons being spilled for a five five- yard loss he wont won't connect so often This clement element of time time is a most important factor when I it comes to passing passin and kicking Give a passer enough time i in which to handle the tho ball and let the eligible receivers keep running and his chances of completing the pass are i o much brighter than if he has to dodge and throw in a hurry So So if Utah wants to spike Arizona Arizona's s overhead game the foro forward for- for forward o ward wall can help the cause Ii a lot by rushing Mr Wynne f d Co hard all afternoon f r If the day is right for open football the Arizonans promise to put on a spectacular performance against the for their wide open brand of ball is is designed to dish out a full amount of thrills The Arizonans dont don't completely ignore the running game but they are arc fond believers in the pass game same At home last week against Brigham Young university they threw passes with utter disdain for their location on the field or the down They I clearly indicated that they like like- to surprise the foe Some of their passes are arc not overly well protected At least they weren't against the Cougars The tty Y Y turned one of the Blue Brigades Brigade's aerials into a touchdown and the Utes with boys like Sterling Jensen and Captain I c Newell Call in the backfield may readily do likewise for the t r ti Utah promises to stack up favorably against the visitors on the forward wall especially in the center of the line The j F Utes will outweigh the invaders by a handsome margin margin- c close to ten pounds a man man arid and if the home crew charges savagely enough it ought to put a crimp in Arizona's running game t i i J Largely because the the Utes were so unimpressive in the open- open ng half last Saturday against Greeley State Stater local fans ars' ars ar are e r s' s skeptical about Utah's own running attack but despite the few Injuries on the Ute squad this week I believe the Redskins will show a far more promising attack this time out The Ute line missed big Ray Atkinson at t one of the guar guard d positions in the inaugural half a week ago and nd while the big fellow was proving himself too slow for the backfield the forward wall wall was also looking sluggish In fact fact- the linemen got mixed j 1 tip p several times on their assignments on on particular plays One man mail for instance got right in the ball carriers carrier's road in one play l y so instead of running interference he blocked his own ball carriers carrier's path t L t Much MUC of f this confusion was ironed out at the half tune inter inter- lOn with Coach Ike Armstrong J and the team functioned ja more smoothly in the last half with Atkinson back in the Si line where he promises promises- to be a star and the team looked a a tittle tt smarter er on its blocking g th thereafter Y Sometime during the year ear Utah is going to look like a brilliant ball ban club Whether that sometime will be Saturday Satur Satur- da day October 24 21 when the Utes tackle the at Logan f or later in the campaign against C. C U U. or Colorado remains to be seen But Dut dont don't forget the Utes this year must f not be underestimated Woe be unto the foe that doesn't take the tho Utes seriously They arent aren't as seasoned as some of the other Utah teams have been They are uncertain on kickIng kick kick- Ing and untested yet et in the pass game They will make mistakes mis mis- takes and they undoubtedly will soon learn what it is to be licked but on one of these Saturdays everything is going to click just right for them Utah had such a day last season In beating Denver 39 And when the Utes get that way L again they'll be tough customers for anybody on their slate state |
