Show UOfUGoach Scans His Team After the first , day of drills University of Utah, head football foot-ball coach, Ray Nagel knows how General Douglas Mac-Arthur Mac-Arthur felt when he faced tht defense of the Phillipine Islands. Both had the same problems. Tough opposition, little material, ma-terial, lack of reserves and a title to defend. The Utes have the smallest football squad in recent history. There are only 46 members on the roster with a chance that several of these will not be around when the Utes meet Montana U. in the season opener on September 20. Of these 46, 19 are lettermen. Seventeen won their numerals last season and two, Larry Fields and Jim Mastelotto, got their's is 1956. The Redskins were as hard hit as any team in the nation by graduation, losing 18 (Continued on page 6) (Continued from page 1) U. of U. FOOTBALL lettermen, eight of these from the first unit and seven from the second. There is very little help in sight from the frosh squad of "57" and only six men moved up to strengthen the varsity. Nagel will have to depend heavily on a few junior college boys to bolster the thin ranks. The only regulars back from the Conferenrce champions of 1957 are All American quarterback, quarter-back, Lee Grosscup; All Conference Con-ference end, Jack Seul, and half back, Don McGivney. Lettermen returning, who should help, include; linemen, Spqnce Clark, Jim Hibbard, Gary Johnson, Bill Johnson, Don Kraft, Duncan Ward and Dick White. Backs returning are Pete Haun, Terry Lewton, Paul Liston, and Larry Wilson. |
