Now you can't blame Cactus. Strategy is strategy and psychology is psychology, and what works one time won't work another. It just so happenedso the sneaky suspicion tells usthat Cactus picked the wrong formula for 1954. tots of Talent, No Spark S, a of talent wrapped up in kids like Orville There's lot , Nellestein, Herb Nakken, Lou Mele, Tommy. Thompson, Mai' Pierce, Dave Dungan, Lynn Simons, Don Henderson and the otherssomewhere along the line this season they've all put out tremendous performances. The Utes got to the heights against Oregon, and we think they gave out tremendously Saturday against Colorado., Had ' they played that way all year, there isn't a Skyline club that ' ' would beat them. But you've got to have the spark to be a winner, you've got to keep the edge sharp. And Cactus' opinions, we figure, dulled the Ute perspective instead of honing it as Jack had planned. He just got a bad bounce.

Whatever the motives, a little display of confidence in S those Ute kids at the right moments could have made a tremendous difference against Idaho, Colorado A&M and Denver, in particular. All of which just goes to show: If you talk long enough and strong enough, sooner or later you're going to wind up with a big frustrated foot in your mouth.
