After playing a more brilliant game
and having out-pointed their opponents
in nearly every detail of the game, the
University football eleven lost its
match with Boulder by a score of 10 to
6. II there is any blame for the loss OF
the game, it rests not upon the team
but upon the students in general. 1t
is hardly likely that any college team
was ever so poorly supported as was
this team in its game Saturday. There
was fully five times as much roofing
for the Boulder team as there was for
the home team. Groups of young mch
stood on the side lines and howle5 for
Boulder. The students of the univer-
sity were not organized for roofing
and except at rare intervals when a
feeble yell went up they gave the team
no encouragement whatever. Every
person who ever participated in ath-
letic sports or in a contest of any kind
know how far encouragement of that
kind goes.
The university team played a bril-.
liant game and at all times did better
offensive work than the Boulder team
Two costly fumbles and a weakness in
the line in defensive work lost them the
game. At the critical stage when the
game might have gone one way or the
other. a very little of genuine college
roofing would have braced the Lara
mic boys up to win the game.
The first touchdown was made by
the Laramie team within five minutes
after the play began. Lohlein kicked
an easy goal and it looked then as if
the game would be all one way, but
Boulder braced up and in the kickoff,
sent the ball to Laramie's 1O-yard line
where Pointing fumbled it and let a
Boulder man get it and carry it across
for a touchdown. 1t was a hard goal
and Boulder's full back missed it.
This mishap took the courage out of
the Laramie boys apparently and ex-
cept for a few brilliant plays by Lara
ME the game was all Boulder's way
from that time on. Boulder found that
she couldn't make any gains around the
ends and accordingly settled down to
straight line bucking. Hammering
away at guard and tackle. she forced
the ball by feet and inches straight
down the field.
1t was a hard game and a heart
She reached the height Of her misfor-
tunes near the end Of the second half
when Crater broke away around the
left end and made a beautiful u Of
40 yards and was then brought back on
a claim of foul. 1t was claimed by the
Boulder men that a Laramie half back
grabbed Carlson, Boulders' right end.
and held him. in violation of the rules
Of the game. There was a long wran-

umpire finally agreed that the play was
foul. Shortly after this the game end
ed with the ball in the middle of the
field. Boulder made two touchdowns,
but failed to kick goal in both in
stances. Nobody was seriously hurt
though Jennings was forced to retire
because of a slight injury and Scott
went into the game for part of the last
half.
Miller was also forced to qIit and
Merz took his place.
