That 1955 game was Beaver coach Tommy Prothros first as a head coach. Hal Mitchell, BYUs young head menter, was an assitant to Prothro for that time. Now Mitchell hopes to spring a few surprises on his old tutor. The Cougars will use the single wing attack and for the first time in six weeks star tailback Eldon Fortle will be at full strength for a game. 33-0- In addition, Utah State walloped Washington State U., and WSU edged Oregon, that was one of Utahs big victories in a 14-- game. 84-1- 6 THE UTES HAVE one reason for appearing, aside from playing for their share of the gate and the duty of fulfilling the schedule. And that reason is the Wyoming game. True, Utah lost by a touchdown to the team that tied the Aggies. But theres one difference. Against the Aggies, Wyomings candidate Chuck Lamson didnt play. He was very much in evidence against the Utes, where he directed the attack brilllaptly and ran for 74 yards. , a Fortle was injured against Utah and has seen only limited action since. back, Paul (The Horse) Allen, is a doubtful player which will hurt the BYU attack. 6-- 6 current place standings, Nothing but pride and the determination to continue the frustration of the Aggies inspires the Utes to victory. t sn.t-u- p and the loser Saturday can have no excuses. This game has been scheduled a long time and anyone who takes a traditional showdown in stride can wind up falling. pep up players for a final effort. Both schools have had tremendous seasons, although the Aggies have the edge with only a tie to mar a slate. Utah, although beaten three times, has the bigger nonconference victories, with wins over Oregon, Arizona State and Colorado. But Saturday at 1:30, its a new shake of the dice and nothing that has gone before this year, or in previous years, means a thing.

When Ray Nagel- - took over, Nofsinger talked the situ- pm, ation over with the new coach and explained that the competition for the quarterback spot, with Lee Gross-cuand Pete Hautt backed up by Ken Vierra, was too tough. So Nofsinger stayed out a year. With Haun and Grosscup gone, Nofsinger alternated with Vierra two years ago and last year he was a vital cog in Utahs offense with his running and passing. Nofsinger was signed by the Steelers and made a member of the "taxi squad," the red shirts of the pros. But he worked hard and when injuries hurt the club, Nofsinger stepped in.

But, even though the Aggies had a pretty fair statistical advantage in tie with Wyoming, it is a matter of record that a their desperation tackle stopped a Cowboy touchdown on the three fumble ended the threat of what could and a beent he winning Wyoming touchdown. It will he a football game worth braving the weather to see, wager on that though the Aggies have beaten the Utes only three times in football since the Skyline was formed in 1938, the Aggies enter this game as favorites. There is basis for this favoritism, with the Aggies boasting record for the last two a football seasons, against Utahs 13-mark for the same period. Were It not for Utahs upset of Colorado last week In Bolder, the odds favoring the Aggies probably would be around three touchdowns. But the Colorado victory warned the Aggie followers and encouraged the Ute backers, and the Farmers From Logan, despite their record, will enter the game only a favorite. The Aggies have everything but tradition and the Ute Stadium jinx going for them in this traditional rivalry. THE FARMERS will outweigh the Utes 22 pounds to the man in the line. And Utah will have to start 159 pound Ron Manno at one guard spot, in place of the ailing Jeff Jonas. Jonas, senior left guard, was injured against New Mexico and did not play against Colorado. He ran with the third unit in Fridays limbering-udrill. The Aggies have a couple of injuries with Tommy (Gun) Larscheid nursing a hip pointer and Terry Cagaanan a bad back. This could hurt the dangerous left halfback spot of the Farmers. With both squads in pretty good condition for the final game of the season, the main questions are the weather and the crowd. The weatherman, with a wary eye at the clouds, predicted clearing skies for the 1:30 kickoff. The crowd will be somewhere above 25,000, depending upon the weathers effect on the g e n e r a 1 admission sales back until sen- be on gies.
