.UTAH'S C0LORS
LOWERED AGAIN
1olorado's School of Mines Defeats
Maddock's Men.
T WAS STUBBORN BATTLE
BUT VARslTYs LINE COULD NOT
WITHSTAND oNsLAUeHTs.

In an uphill fight, against odds she

ball coiors were again dragged in the
iirt by Colorado football eleven, when
The School of Mines from Golden de-
8 feated MaddOck's men on CUMMINGS
s field yesterday by score OF % 10 0. It
s was a clcun-cuL victory by a stronger foe
oV-r weaker one. IT was a stubborn
5 contest, and, from nOn-partsan point
OF view, as good game as has been seen
i'm Utah for many a day. The varsity
boys, realizing that nothing short of a
miracle could win for them. went in and
tried 20 perform this miracle The min
crs, knowing they must win to uphold
their prestige ct home, tried 10 make the
score as big as possible.
The result was a stubbornly-fought
game. and the miners won by score

were lucky. They all We're earned, and
earned only after the hardest kind OF

the Iteid, and both were failures. one
was from the fifty-yard line, the other
3 from the fifty-eight-yard line. The

Golden a Stronger Team.
4 simple deduction from the game is
that Golden was too strong for the team
that faced it yesterday, and for this rea-
son Golden won. Not that Golden had
more football or better football-fOr this
s. was not the case. Utah played its best
4 with the material on hand. and it was
surprising that the team held up to the
end OF the lcug thirty-fiVe- minute halves
as wei as 1t Lld.s
ried back in doing 50. When a Utah
formation started it invariably lost
ground after it was tackled. II was the
reverse for Golden. Her strong line
forced yards with half the Utah team
holding on like grim death and vainly
trying to stop men their physical SUI
perinrs in every way.
"Hurry-Up" Gets No Chance.
For this reason Afaddocl1's ''hurry-up'
tactics could not make Roadway. An

| the whole Utah line would give way and
bury the play it was trying to protect.
Practically the whole fight was on the
line yesterday. Golden knew the var
| sitY's weak point. as every person who
follows the sport does, and was not slow
in directing its plays at the five different
points of the line. Now and then these
plays were stopped, but in nearly every
instance they made gains, even if they

useless, for this style OF game gives the

these opportunities.
There was one bright spot for Utah,
however, and that was in the kicking

best grOmd-gainer was Kruger. The
play was To send Kruger from his po-

Here was where the ten~yaTd gains At

busy pounding the line for three TO four
ward pmngts. Morrison, the other tackle,
reversed this play and made large gains
but was not as effective as Kruger.
Utah's back field was hardly able to
do anything. With the aid of Peterson,
