Montana's fast and snappy bunch of
well-coached youngsters went up against
Coach Joe Maddocks scoring machine on
cummings field yesterday. The net re-
suit was AZ TO in favor of the SCARED
veterans Of the east bench
purchased. That one word tells the
tale completely and impartially. Weight
py a large margin, speed with seconds TO
spare. a perfect knowledge of the game,
experience that comes only through-nlany
hard-fought battles, We're all overwhelm-
1ngly in favor of Utahs men. At no
time did Montana have a ghost of
chance OF scoring. A heavy field and
short halves are all that prevented Utah
from making the score bigger Faster
backs. a stronger line and better com
bination of puzzling formations did the
business, and the champions OF Montana
must return home with the thought that
defeat of 1905 on their home field found
It's exact duplicate this year on Utah's
fighting ground
Gameato the Finish.
Montana, however. can also go home
y leaving good impression OF their play
ing ability with those who saw them fight
gamely TO the last ditch
That they would be defeated was ex-
pected by those who follow the game in
the intermountain west, as Utah has
scoring machine which the strongest
teams west of the Missouri river need
Tear. Montanas plays showed careful
coaching and hard work on the part Of
the team. They held up without a whim-
per under the gruelling onslaught of the
powerful battering rams carefully planned

I'm their possession they went at Utah's
stone wall with q dash that brought forth
applause from the stands only TO be
hurled back Utah's bulwark of de-
Tense moved forward.
In defense they were torn into frag-
ments and dashed to one side to make
room for Russell. Pitt Brown and Nc
Kenna to pillow through for big gains. Or
perhaps the mighty Bennion would hurl
his titanic strength against their line and
bowl the nOrtherneTs down like so many
ten pins
Utah Never in Better Form.
Utah's team, of which all Utahns have
begun TO feel proud. never seen in
better form. PERHAPS 1t is safe to say
that the team which lined up yesterday
was the greatest aggregation of football
players that ever wore the colors OF q
Utah school This is in spite Of the fact
that the great Peterson. who would have
strengthened the team, watched the game
from the side-lines. The mud interfered
with fast work on Utah's part. there
IS no telling what the score would have
been. The backs were never in better
form and Utah's line, which for the past
two seasons has been its weak point
held as it has never held before.
First Under New Rules.
The game was the first big one seen
under the new rules, and it is probably
safe TO say that the spectators liked IT.
The open play style has plenty of action
and gives individual players chance to
show up in the limelight. Many did this
yesterday. They were Russell with his
long, lodging end runs; Brown with his
straight drives outside OF tackle; Pitt and
McKenna. Bennion did not exert himself
yesterday as is his usual custom. He let
the other members of the team star for
the team did not need the line smashes
4 and tackle plunges of the mighty Utah
fulback to win its game. In Pitt, Utah
has discovered another Jimmy Wade.
While he did not play at quarter. Pitt has
developed into an interference runner
that made many of the long runs OF Rus
cell and Brown possible.
Line Does Its Duty.
While. as is always the case. the lines
men, the players who stand the brunt of
the attack, did not get the opportunity
TO feature in the brilliant plays like the
members of the back field the fact that
there was always a hole in the line when
81 was wanted and that Montana could
not make any impression Utah's line
defense. shows that the men whose names
only appear in the lineup must have been
doing their share 1t was fact that not
n single weak spot developed in the line
yesterday, and if the same men can hold
against Montana. there may be big sur
prise in store for the champions of Colo

Considerable time was taken out to re-
fer to the rules. The Montana players
were not I'D as well on the new rules as
they should have been. and nearly every
decision called for a dispute which IL was
necessary TO settle by the rule book. In
every case the officials had the points I'M

Forward Pass Worked.
The new forward pass was worked on
two occasions to perfection Once Scran-

gain Montana made during the game.
