Show University Is Hoping For Win Over Colorado Still unable to find a scoring punch, the Univesity of Utah Kedskins will invade Boulder, Colo,., Saturday carrying with them the traditional traveling goal post trophy which they won in 1948 but which they are expected to leave as a memento me-mento to a more offensive minded Buff team. Instituted in 1941 after several sev-eral bloody goal post battles had failed to determine spectator spec-tator superiority, the goal post trophy, half silver and gold ana half crimson and white, has since stood as a symbol of the friendly relations existing between be-tween the two institutions. Utah has the edge in the number of times they have captured the award, winning five times against Colorado's four. But all that is past history to Prof. Ike Armstrong, dean of the Skyline Six coaches, who is currently having an unhappy Silver anniversary year at Utah. With the exception of cellar dwelling Brigham Young, all Ike's opponents have made him drink the bitter tea of defeat. Against Washington in the season sea-son opener he fielded a classy team which held the vaunted Husky power to a 14-7 win which came only in the last two minutes of the tussle. The Oregon State Beavers countered with a 27-7 pasting which ripped the Redmen for 20 of those points in one woeful woe-ful quarter. Arizona worked Utah for a tie, but scored a moral victory in the 12-12 deadlock, dead-lock, since the Redskins had actually pushed the Wildcats aound the field pretty much at will. After BYU fell 38-0, the Utes hoped for a win over Denver Den-ver only to be out-passed and out-kicked 20-18 in a thriller. Then came the Wyomingites, thirsting for revenge and for their first win in the long Utah series. Utah is still trying to complete" com-plete" arrangements to bring its famous 120-piece Marching Band to Boulder for the big game Oct. 29, according to Ronald D. Gregory, band director. direc-tor. The band has become the established es-tablished favorite of the Skyline Sky-line Six in just one short year after its reorganization. It has gained a brilliant reputation at Southern California home of great college bands and was hailed in Seattle as the finest band ever to perform in the Husky stadium. |
