V- ARRANGES GAMES. f . That the Utah Aggies will haw C games next fall with ono or two Call- E fornla schools was the hint given by L -he A C Mentor. rVbmney went to B the coast for One purpose and that f ' was to line up gamos with some of t tho coast elevens. He talked to a number of coaches and all Boomed to jk be favorable to a game with the 1921 Rockv mountain conference cham- f plona. Tho California coaches, Rom- r Iney stated, held a high rcspoct for ' The teams of the Rocky mountain con- R" ferenco due to their eligibility rules. . For this reason Romney found little I trouble in negotiating with coaches of f the schooLs In all the big cities. I Coach Romney stated that every i school on the coast had only one do- fc sire for tho future in football and that E ',was to beat California, Some of thorn. I 'he stated, were even planning two or P- throc years ahead when they expected to drag the Bruins to defeat. h Coach Romney will now give his vlcw3 on prospective games with Call- L fornla schools to the faculty athletic f council and it ls almost certain that J ; the Aggies will meet one of the teams f I at least next fall, either in Logan or on tho coast The possibility of a j- mid-winter game on the coast ls very bright, ho said, as tho California teams f have a high regard for the tah lnsti- f tutlons and would Ukc to hafo them for drawing cards In tho mid-winter . classics. I' Regarding the Californla-W. and J- I' game Coach Romney sard that the f eastern eleven outpointed tho Bear p on the field and oven though the field It. had been dry for the contest it is very f doubtful whether or not California L would have como close to winning. S The punting of Natsbet. the craok California kicker saved the day for y tho Bruins Romney said, as this big F 1 bootor gavo a remarkable exhibition m. of kicking even with a wet and sloppy f ball. b Speaking of the play on which the t We iilngton and Jefferson team , scored a touchdown, but which was nnt . II a v. . (ha nfflr(-1 r'rvoli P. Romney stated that to his mind this score should have heon allowed, as it seoms to be a fair one Previous to it the V. and J- team had made two long gains and on the play where the , half went over the line there was no j visible off-side, but one player got a few Inches out of bounds. BEARS BIG MEN. The California tem was composed of a bunch of very large men, but the W. and J. toam seemod to be even larger. Coach Romney said. The players play-ers on both teams were six or eight years older than players on the two Utah elevens of tho Rocky mountain conference. Erickscn, the 186-pounu backfield star of the Washington and Jefferson eleven, was the great player of the game. Romney thinks. This man ls shifty and carried the ball through all kinds of defense. Coach Romney was particularly Impressed with Bteln, tho versatile W. and J-player J-player who played halfback on offense of-fense tackle or defenso and also called signals, and in the Judgment of Romney Rom-ney this player Is all-Amerlcan calibre cali-bre The great interference of tho eaetfrrxTB was the outstanding feature of their playing. Romney thought, as also whs the tackling. One instance was told bv Romnty of how vicious tho Bnllns tackled and that occurred when Muller tho alt-American end of tho Bears, entered the game and tho only forward Pass that was completed complet-ed bv California was received by him but dropped because two of the W and J. tacklers hit him so hard. Trie Washington and Jefferson men were calm and never got excited. An example ex-ample of this was shown when Muller, Mul-ler, who has been namod for his all-America all-America position by Walter Camp, en tered the contest in tho 6ccond period and a number of tha opposing playors greeted him by putting their mud-covered amis around him. This seomsd to "get his goat." and as a result he displayed nono of his touted qualities. RegardlnK the Centre-Arlxwe uni-erslty uni-erslty gamo Romney said very little but did mention thaj "Red' Rflbcrts was ono of tTio greatest ends that has ever played in the country. "Bo" M -Mlllln. Romney said was "made" by Roberts and most of the gains made bv tho touted quarterback was when he hid behind Roberts and pushed ntt s-y to long gains and also when he got help from the star end on forward passes .
