Show O Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Bingham higli plays Tooele tonight, Friday, in the Copper-ton Copper-ton stadium, in a game that will just about eliminate the loser from contention in Region Two. Tooele will be the favorite but the Miners have a habit of playing play-ing their beSt against the boys from across the mountains, so the fans- are in for a real ball game. This game should be quite a personal duel between Gallegos for the Miners and Jerry Lee of the Buffaloes. Lee was one of the best backs I saw in action last year and in games thus far this season he has been outstanding. out-standing. Gallegos has a bad knee that may slow him up a bit but if right he will be hard to stop. Arnie Nilsson, one of the biggest men on the squad, has a broken hand as has Sybrowsky, the first string center, so the Miners are in anything but top shape. Coach Santistevan was called to Colorado by a death in his family. Coach Allsop will toe in charge of the team. The word I get from Tooele is that with the exception of a few minor bruises their squad is ready to go. If the Miners can stop Lee they should make it close. Coma Saturday, -Utah takes on the up and coming Denver Pioneers. Pi-oneers. Up to now the Utes have had a rough season, and unless Coach Curtice has come up with a defense in the last week I don't think this week will help it any. They have a good" passer in Du-blinski Du-blinski but Denver has two of the best in the conference in Etcheverry and Collis. In Gordon Gor-don Cooper, Denver has one of the best receivers in the business. busi-ness. This season he has caught lfi nasses. fivp nf thpm frvr tnnph downs, and has gained 248 yds. He led the nation last year and he only has to catch five passes more to pass the record set by Art Weiner of North Carolina. Weiner caught 102 in three years and Cooper has 98 so far. He and Collis are both from Mc-Gill, Mc-Gill, Nev. Saw both of them play ball this summer, both good prospects, Collis especially. I like Denver. BYU goes to "Wyoming and this Cougar club will let the Cowboys know they have been in a ball game. Wyoming but toy not too much. The Utah Aggies go to Fort Collins to take on the Colorado Farmers, who last week upset Wyoming. Roning and his assistants as-sistants have done a great job up at Logan but they just don't have the horses to take this one. Colorado Aggies by as many as Davis wants. See you next week. AL O |
