What's more, he's not so keen about night football especially when his charges get no chance to practice under the lights so the Utes won't tackle Greeley State this fall in a nocturnal game. ' Utah'g game at Greeley was slated for Friday night, October Oc-tober IS, but at Ike's request it has been switched to the following follow-ing Saturday afternoon. Ike'i reluctance to play the Bears at night apparently Is traceable to a combination of incidents over the past two years. First, there was Greeley's surprising victory over Colorado university uni-versity three years ago, a triumph that kept the Buffalos from winning undisputed possession of the gridiron crown, a conquest that enabled Greeley State to tie for the title. That was the year that Coach John Hancock had such stars as Quarterback Roy Hardin and Don Merriman doing great things in his backfield. Greeley had only 12 or 13 topnotch players that season, but they were in great condition, liked their football and worked in perfect unison all the time. C. V. figured the game as an early season "warm up" when it was originally scheduled. So did everybody else except Coach Hancock and a few of his close associates. Imagine, then, C U.'s general consternation when Hardin led his mates to a convincing victory over the Buffalo. Tha Bears did virtually everything but eat th ball that night. They ran the ends and plunged the line with power and speed, and kept confusing their bewildered foes with an elaborate set of criss cross and reverse plays. C. U. players didn't seem to know where the ball was half the time, and in that they were no different than a great many of the folks In the stands. "I couldn't even keep track of th ball," one scout said as ha came away from this press box. "Nor I," said another. "I wonder if th lights had any thing to do with If Next came Greeley's great stand against Utah in the opener here last fall when the 240-pound Frank Barn-hardt Barn-hardt led the Bean in a rampage that held the Utes scoreless score-less for virtually three periods. These items, coupled with (Coatujuea ea FoUewles rase) Backseat Driving (Continued from Preceolag Pace) the fact that Utah plays B. Y. U. and Idaho on successive Saturdays prior to the trip to Greeley, no doubt convinced the Ute mentor that he doesn't want to spot the Teachers any unnecessary advantage. Greeley agreed to the schedule change readily. The Teachers have a comparatively small stadium and figure that Utah will draw sufficiently well to fill it in the afternoon, after-noon, so there was no particular point in trying to lure a bigger turnout by playing at night. James Braid, the British golf star who now is 67, carries only seven clubs . . . and still shoots good golf , . . that is about 20 less than many players carry, bringing from them a squawk recently when a limit was slapped on the number of implements permitted. The new rule allows only 14. |
