MAY SEND five
men TO BOULDER
Utah's Five Star Athletes
Would Make Good Showing
at Colorado Conference.

An effort is being made to send a team
representing the University of Utah to
the Rocky Mountain track conference at
Boulder next Saturday. If il is imPos-
sible to send an entire team, the hope
is to send five men against the Colo
RADIO schools. The old obstacle-finances
however. is blocking the movement and
ii is doubtful If the plan can be ar
ranged. The amount of money earned
on the Boulder meet, in addition to the
sum that is in the treasury, Will not
overcome the deficit that viii be caused
by the state high school and state col
lege conferences, unless there is an eX-
ceptional attendance To send five men
would cost $50 and a ten-man team
nearly twice as much
Faith in Local Men.
There are many who think that the To-
cal team could carry off the meet, and
that even five-man team would make
a eredtabe showing against the other
schools. The winning of this meet would
certainly give Utah athletic recognition
all over the country. Ctah's decisive
victory over the University of Colorado,
which undoubtedly has the best team in
that state and the one which won the
conference last year, shows that Utah
stands good to win if a team is en-
tered.
