sell and Pitt are rated as the fastest
back field in the west, but those who
saw these stars cut down the yards
yesterday would have met a greater
surprise could they have found footing
But it was Utah's line that proved a
surprise to both its friends and the
Boulder team. The Colorado aggrega-
ton would hurl it's overpowering weight
against these five men, only to stop and
generally fall back for a loss of dis
lance. When Boulder tried to batter
this line down, it was BOulder's men
who came out of the argument worse
off for the effort. Near the end Boul-
der began TO call for time as her hus-
kies met more than their match in these
line plunges. Then Boulder began to
throw in her substitutes, but the fresh
men could do not better.
Referee Was Not Partial.
Penalties also counted against Utah.
On three different occasions Maddock's
men had the ball within the Boulder
ten-yard line. only to lose a touchdown
on account of d fifteen-yard penalty.
Had the officials been more lenfent with
the home team, the score here alone
would have been doubled.
Yesterdays game was devoid of spec
tacular work. In the first half some
large gains were made by the local ag-
gregation, but in the second half both
teams resorted to kicking. Boulder
found that il could not gain and gave
orders for Quarterback Treigan to kick
the ball out of danger. This made it
doubly hard for Utah. who was COM
PEELED to work the ball back up the
field with scrimmage work or short
kicks. If they recovered the ball all
right, if not, Boulder used the long
kick defensive tactics to keep it out
of danger.
Boulder never came close to scoring.
Once a place kick from the twenty-five
yard line failed, but as for touch
down. Utah's line was never in danger.
In the last half the ball never once
saw Utah's territory until final long
kick placed it there in Utah's possess
sion just as the call of final time.
Heroes Who Led the Battle.
The crowd saw the mighty Bennion
at his best yesterday. This human
catapult would hit the Boulder line
time and time again for big gains. He
would hurl Boulder's biggest tacklers
back as if they were small boys. and
ii was not until they had completely
encircled him that he would stop. His
ten, twenty and thirty-yard bucks,
straight through Boulder's heavy line,
constituted the greatest exhibition of
line bucking ever seen in this state.
Russell and McKenna were both at
their best yesterday, and the lodging
long end runs of Russell and the
plunges by little McKenna gained
yards for Utah.
Utah played the game without
change in the lineup and without
single call for time on account of in
jured players. Boulder called five SUBJ
stitutes into play and was more or less
badly beaten up.
Utah's two scores came in the first
half, ana neither were of the f1uke va
riety. Bennion missed the first a diff
cult goal, and the second failed on a
