Show Off the Cob Sloppy Ball Handling of Weather B By Clark Lobb After Sunday's write-ups of the Denver-Utah most of the fans were pretty well convinced that the tilt under the at least was a hard-fought Then why does the same writer who penned so truthfully the real picture of the game make a complete and the next day write that both teams were fumbling like high school kids and playing ball no better than the average junior college can It could be that there is a bit of psychology as his motive getting the team keyed up for Colorado and all that we feel this is so much malarky Surely everyone knows by now that Utah is always keyed up for the only for this year but for the next ten to come Wc saw that game and don't let anyone spread propaganda to the effect that the Indians played sloppy ball Saturday They played good especially considering the weather They had determination and none of the over-confident air Of course they fumbled field was a bowl of it was hailing and to top it lighting and thunder added to the confusion That the ball-handling was sloppy much of the game can no way be blamed on the mud-coated players Said writer has played and refereed the game Surely he knows even better than the average fan that football on a as mushy as Denver's Saturday can't help but result in some sloppy playing Or did he never once make a mistake under any conditions NOVEMBER 1 We still stand by our So here's the weakly First comes the mess Utah by six points or Brigham should finally come through And beat Utah State by Denver could win by a rout If their stadium ever dries a non-league affair Wyoming should win by a NOVEMBER 1 While we're still in this happy here's another gripe During the twenty-four hours before the game three football tilts were played in the DU stadium The Pioneers frosh squad had a game Friday a couple of high school elevens took over at Saturday morning and then there were yet a few spots on the badly battered turf which were still a second high school fracas was finishing just before the Utes and Pioneers came out By this evidently the gridiron was chopped up like a plate of cole slaw and the rains came After that it wasn't got the but think I saw a player just now It would have been a dirty trick to make the play in the Regis stadium because Regis bless had to play there Sunday after this was only an unimportant homecoming game which could easily have knocked one of the teams out of the title race Denver just so the high school kids had fun |
