Show Utes Head For West Point Young, has already broken two former Army receiving records, most passes caught and most passing pass-ing yards gained. The Cadets also boast an impressive impres-sive rushing backfield, lead by fullback full-back Chuck Jarvis. Jarvis is a quick hard driving' back with a tremendous 5.5 yards per carry average. av-erage. The Army backfield will be the largest and strongest the Utes have seen this year. Can Utes Maintain Offense Many Utah fans are waiting with bated breath to see if the Redskins can maintain the offensive momentum momen-tum generated last week against ASU. If the Utes can move the ball well again Saturday it could be another an-other west over east victory. i S ... ' j . -1 ' ' . ;' J " I I "-v J iifc.iiiB'raS! . ' ' When the University of Utah Redskins Red-skins take on Army this weekend in New York, the Black Knights of the Hudson will ; have more going for them than ju$t a first rate football foot-ball team. Images of the traditionally tradition-ally tough pigskin powerhouse and of the packed stadium with its home field advantages, will' be going go-ing through the minds of the Ute gridders as they journey toward West Point. Eastern football teams have the reputation of being the power center cen-ter of college football, and the crew from Army has always been one of the rugged teams from that area. The well disciplined Cadets make few mistakes in their all out effort for victory and are one of the hardest-hitting squads to take to the gridiron. Armed Forces Day Playing in Michie Stadium, probably prob-ably the noisiest fields east of BYU with its masses of shouting potential poten-tial soldiers standing and yelling at command, is even tougher than playing before the screaming masses in Provo. And to make things even worse for Utah the contest con-test has been scheduled on Nov. 11, Armed Forces Day. Head Coach Tom Cahill, coach of the year in his first season at the Point last year with an 8-2 overall over-all record, is again compiling a creditable season mark and would like nothing more than to keep the Utah jinx alive with another victory vic-tory over the Redskins. In the only two previous Utah-Army meetings the Cadets have downed the Utes in both clashes. The two contests, however, have proved to be some of the most exciting ex-citing games played on Army soil. . In the much heralded 1957 encounter encount-er the Redskins, lead by AU-Am-erican quarterback Lee Grosscup,. put on an offensive display that drew national attention before the Utes bowed to the inspired Cadets 39-33. Six years later the Utes again thrilled the large crowds before be-fore they were nosed out 8-7 in a hard fought battle. Another Closed Contest Although the current Army record rec-ord of 6-1 appears to give the edge this year to the Cadets the contest, should be another close one. Eastern East-ern football is no longer the college stronghold of the nation, which has' been proven by the numerous western west-ern victories over former Eastern powers. Also, Armies '67 schedule is far easier than the, rugged squads the Utes have faced so far this season. The Utah defenders will have to be up to a better showing than the inconsistent one they gave against Arizona State if the Redskins are going to upset the boys of the Hudson, Hud-son, Army quarterback Steve Lin-dell Lin-dell is only a junior but he has' frustrated many a lineman with his scramber offensive tactics. Lindell has a strong throwing arm to compliment com-pliment the running threat, and could very well be the most accurate accur-ate passer to test the Ute backfield. His favorite target, split end Terry Defensive lineman Bud Neswischeny will be part of Army Corps out to foil Utah's upset plans Saturday at West Point. |
