Utah and the University OF Denver.
Roth teams are working hard to get

hat something will be doing al
fine during the game goes
without saving. Coach Holmes of
the local team Is putting the boys
through some lively practise work ev-
cry day and although he realizes that
the Denver eleven Is hard combna-
ton TO beat, he has confidence that his
team will be IN the reckoning at the
finish That the Denver II Is capable of
putting up a hard fight Is evident from
the following account of contest last
Saturday between that team and the
East Denver High School eleven. One OF
the Denver papers says;
The game on Saturday with the East
Denver High School showed several
things TO the Denver university players
In the first place the much Wanted
High School that was not only going TO
score but probably win. was thorough
" trounced and sent back home to the
tune Of % points to nothing. The two
chief faults of the university men were
that they did not get started til the
second half and that they fumbled too
often During the first half ID. Y. car
ried the ball down the filed time and
again only to loose It on n tumble, 1t
was during the last few minutes Of play
that the college finally scored. In the
intermission the coaches gave the men
severe talk which appeared to wake
them up and In the second half they
went at their opponents fiercely and
swept them off theh field for two touch.
downs Then Stuart, the famous full
back dropped a goal from the 80 yard
line lie Is unusually accurate In filed
goals but has fallen off a good deal OF
late In putning. During the second half
Capt Veatch, who has been playing
all fall at quater was put In ~
halfback and really made a remarkable
showing. If he continues to improve he
will be the best back on the team be-
fore the season Is over His only draw
hack Is the fact that he IS so very
light
From now on the team will give all
lis time TO working up fast offense
for the first intercollegiate game with
Colorado College at Colorado Springs
next Saturday.
