The conference has built up a reputation in the nation uml flrst- !elas Karnes and teams have been de-l de-l veloped i-'n the other htind If Utah fans are to be deprived of competition with Colorado school. which they have had for years, the grid sport la due for a setback in this section. Wo '.expect to continue as a member of ithe Kocky Mountain conference and 'will schedule our games accordingly." Colorado has an abundance of food teams annually. The competition furnished fur-nished by these aggregations not only upbuilds the game, but It also gives the foin first-class sport events. I Should the proposed move ever take on a serious aspect Utah fans would have a chirp coming and a mighty bis chirp, as the proposed new oon-ference oon-ference could not compare nor hold a candle to the present arrangement. SOT Ion LARGE, Many believe that the present conference con-ference la too large. To get down to! facts it is just one team larger than the big "ten." The present conference consists of the following teams Uni-1 verslty of Utah, Utah Aggies. Brlghamj Young university, Denver university,! Colorado university. Colorado college.1 Colorado Aggies, Montana State. Wyo-' lining university and New Mexico university. uni-versity. Although this matter has not been jgiven serious thought Denver scribes I have, come to take the proposed change in that light. In fact some of 'the writers deem it a necessity. If football Is to continue on Its same ihigh plane In the Rocky Mountain conference, Che present arrangements should remain Intact. A change would prove detrimental to all teams concerned, it is a mighty serious , Chang- and one that should be given considerable thought, with the fans that support the game, given some consideration. |
