LOCALS SHOULD WORK HARD.
If They Expect TO Mske a Show Ing
They Must Throw OF Spirit Of
UnaggressIye Llstlessness

Saturday o game Is scheduled between
the Varsity eleven and picked team
from the University Of Montana, and just
now when the university men ought 10 be
making the fight VI their lives 10 retrieve
themselves from the ragged showing
made at the last game, a spirit OF nm
aggressive llstlcssnoss is alllng the squad
oud the student body at large a radical
change has to be affected IN the football
spirit Of the university before Varsity
standards can be- reached I'M the game.
Al this critical period In the seasons
work a largo part of the squad has quit
which Is as msportmanllkc am action
as university men could be guilty or.
Some Of the players found they had no
chance Of making the Varsity eleven,
and did not feel that II was necessary
To- play on O second eleven Yet In every
college whore football Is developed 10 the
point Of winning games, IL ls hard
playing second team that brings out the
victory a man hardly darcs dream Of
making the Varsity until his junior
year and until that time he Is mighty
well pleased with q place ON the sec
ond eleven, or even on the scrub team
below that Football men cannot be de.
Velopcd IN a years work. and az the
university the action Of her second team
men In quitting the field, when they
might be working hard TO get into the
harnes for next year, Is a serious blow 10
Utah's chances Of having wen balanced
team next year that can play ball Utah
rooters need not be ashamed Of IN many
universities popular sentiment would
mass Itself against men who necdleHly
quit the squad and force them TO their
work, but az the university there seems
10 be dearth of responsibility on the part
Of the students at large for the condi-
ton OF the team They don't know how
10 support Il, by trained roofing ana FREE
quent visits TO the field during practise,
and the passing Of Social chip TO
anyone who engages In unsportsmanlike
conduct such as was INDUCED IN during
the last game by a Utah player
Few friends Of the university and Of the
team are sanguine OF their having set
players this season that will do good
work and they do not take kindly to
having their hopes shattered for next
year by seeing so many Of the squad
quit the field. one Of the coaching
board said today ordinarily. a football
man on the Varsity team has played
four years on a high school team, aud
three years ON his Varsity squad, as a
scrub and second eleven man. and 1t Is
rather surprising 10 say the least, 10 see
green man Quit In the middle OF his
first seasons training just because he
cannot see q place on the Varsity imme-
dlately ahead People who do that are
FAR removed from comprehension OF
football and unless there is "A change
I'M spirit ! see little hope for a winning
team. Coach Maddox Is an excellent
coach and every man with any physique
whatever ought TO be out on the field
getting the benefit " his training"
The team which the Varsity meets
Saturday Is In fairly good training, and
a lively game ought 10 occur
