their intersectional football rivalry Friday night As the embattled embattle Greeks in the Trojan war of dusty mythology mythology mythology myth myth- Pr prided ended ded the Troi Trojan n siege with the fam famed d wooden horse horde so the Utah Redskins were preparing preparing- a similar ambush for the safely Cf l I S 8 C Trojans in the meeting in the Los Angeles Angel s coliseum And while hundreds of years and a a. significant stretch of the imagination 8 separated the mythical conquest of Troy from this thi modern Trojan assault there was a great deal in c co com common tit m- m mon at Hi that J It n will be recalled that the myth mythical cal Trojans relaxed coc cocky i and confident behind their own bastions while th the attacking invading Greeks sought unsuccessfully to enter the city Its It's th the e same picture today as ad a s the mighty h confident U use S C Trojans stroll stol l around the confines of the towering coliseum just waiting for forthe forthe forthe the tr to invade their sacred soil and be slaughtered And in the first Trojan war the Greeks finally won the battle battle bat bat- tle by leaving a large wooden horse o outside the gates which the Trojans promptly dragged inside only to be slaughtered b by bythe bythe Y the Greeks hidden inside n ide the horse V Well the modern Trojans arent aren't expected to to drag the 53 passenger Ute chartered airplane through the gates o of the coliseum but they're leaving the gates op open n nas as th the saying sayin goes gocs for tor a terrific football upset And the mythical Trojans had hadon on one advantage too which the modern modern modern mod- mod ern namesakes dont don't possess Homers Homer's boys had Cassandra a I. counterpart of at the modern Win Win- chell who went around tipping ing off oft the Trojans to have no part art of the wooden horse But the Trojans around Los Angeles have no ri su such h warnings in fact the typewriter Cassandras of ot the U US S C camp are ar laughing at the Utah threat scoffing that the he Utah Invasion offers the lightest opposition in Trojan history Everything favors Southern California Cali Cali- fornia r which was plenty hokey dokey with the Utah Redskins The Utes were gunning for tor this one and the were ducking from this game like eggs at a Wallace Wallace Wal Wal- lace rally The game was a football enigma to end all aU enigmas Since its it's th the first game of the season nothing is k known n now o w n of the respective e strengths strengths' of the the rivals It can be recalled that U US S C won the Pacific Coast conference while Utah went I unbeaten in the Skyline Six However However How How- ever comparing the Coast conference confer ence to the Skyline Six in strength h hIs Is like matching Uncle Louies Louie's Juke JukeBox JukeBox JukeBox Box Seven against the Boston Symphony U US S C lost a great deal of prestige in the gridiron gridiron- massacres conducted conducted conducted con con- ducted by Notre Dame and Mi Michigan Michigan Michi Michi- hl- hl gan but it wouldn't be possible for those rivals to wax the Trojans t The Utah-U Utah S C gridiron battle will be broadcast by direct wire over station KALL Frida Friday night at 85 pm p.m. Bill BiU Welch Vetch Los Angeles will do the play- play by play by-play pla with nth commentary being be beIng being be- be ing supplied by Ted Meyers sufficiently to drop them to Utah's national rating U US S C will be bigger than Utah but the Utes will weigh in almost pounds to the man on the average average average aver aver- age and that's big enough The Utes will be shooting for tor the moon the Trojans will be looking past the Utes to the conference schedule and another Rose bowl appearance The Utes will be playing before the largest crowd most of ot the boys ever have haye seen the Trojans will willbe willbe be playing laying before one one of their smallest gates Even the atmospheric conditions will be against the Utes from rom the mile high country The heavy ca air always has hurt mountain teams in their coastal invasions and the extreme heat of Los Angeles Angeles Angeles An An- geles wont won't help the Ute Utes either Against all the favorable U use S C factors theres there's only one Utah advantage advantage advantage ad ad- vantage the Redskins know that this game means more than any other this season They enter this game unburdened by the pressure pressure pressure pres pres- sure which normally rides them themas as favorites in their own bailiwick The Utes may not win this game in fact It would be one of the football football football foot foot- ball upsets of ot the season if It the Utes held the U S C score down to a close margin |
