' tttiu i Jt is anclent history and history which .. IJ will be repeated for eons to come that no squal which tackles the University of Utah over fights as hard as the neighbors from Cache valley. And It also is ancient history that every time the Utah squad has gone into this annual an-nual fray with a big hunk of confidence confi-dence it has trotted back to the training train-ing rooms after the game loser. This has been the case even ..when the L'tahns have bumped up 'against an Aggie team which should have been defeated. Consequently, Coach Nor-gren Nor-gren and' his cohorts have used a strong antidote for confidence. On the other hand, the specks of confidence at the Logan institution are even scarcer than they are locally, and they are mostly in the form of the scratchiest hope that the Aggie squad may tuck the victory under Us belt. Despite all this pessimism, the Aggie squad is working with a vengeance. ven-geance. The defeats at the hands of the University of Nevada, the Univer sity of Wyoming and Colorado have taught the men an impressive lesson and have shown 'Coach Watson where repairs should bo made. The line has been strengthened by the return of Judd, who has recovered from his injuries, in-juries, but Stubby Peterson, the classy clas-sy little halfback, will bo unable to be in the game, and his absence will be keenly felt on Saturday. The scrimmage last Saturday between tho varsity and the freshman squads sent-a sent-a flicker of hope over the Aggie camp. The varsity uncovered a lot of new plays and showed improved form in tackling and punting. Watson, however, how-ever, says that every night from now until Saturday2spells grind. The ghost ball will be brought forth and the squad will cabaret up and down Adams Ad-ams field after supper each night. The Aggies expect to bring a great rooting delegation to Salt' Lake with them. Special excursion trains will be arranged to carry the northern horde and a special portion of tho bleachers on Cummings field will bo reserved for their use. |
