UTAH TOO SPEEDY
FOR COLORADO
Young Brinton, Star of Meet,
May Develop Into Worlds
Champion Splinter.

Once again the University of Colorado
knows what 1t means to get crossed with
the University of Utah In athletlcs. Last
fall il was football; yesterday i was the
long limbed athletes of the Sego Lily
state that showed the BOulderites the way
to the tape. Utah's rising crop OF sprin-
tiers must use jack rabbits as pace max
ers. for il is in this department Of college
athletics that they have in the past. and
do at the present time, far outciaEs the
students from neighboring states.
The score reads 671a in favor OF utah
to a ? to l shot in favor OF Maddoeks
men. Colorado is considered the strongest
team in the Centennial state. II has not
met defeat this year. Yesterdays VIC
tory shows plainly where Boulder stands
with Utah. and IL does not take a grad
uated mathematician TO see where the
Rocky mountain championship belongs for
the season OF 1907.
New Star on cinder Path.
But great as is Utah's victory over her
oldest and strongest rival, the students
of the red and white have even greater
cause for rejoicing. II is in the discovery
of q new star on the cinder path. His
name is Brinton, and he Is but a young
ster. II years OF age; and this Is his
year in the preparatory school. lie comes
from the Cottonwood district south of the
city. and for the past several years, while
other ambitious youths have been care
fully learning the art of running as taught
in modern gymnasiurns, Brinton picked II
up as farmer boys usually do When he
starts toward an outstretched tape, IL Is
case of everybody get out Of the way
and let a man run who knows how.
State Records Smashed.
Yesterday was Brintons first competi-
tion in his life. The net result was 100
yards in 94-S a two-twenty in p seconds,
q four-forty in 50 3-5, and pick up of lost
distance in the relay that gave his team
a victory in this event. The first race
and last race smashed a state record, the
second race tied state record and the
third race was Just one-fifth of q second
shy OF the mark they all try TO beat.
In justice to the state records il must
be said that a strong wind favored Brin-
ton in the hundred, just as it acted even
more strongly against him in the 40 and
the relay. On the other hand, the track
was soft and none too good for fast work.
Yesterdays times merely show what will
happen when Brinion begins to run. He
knows nothing about getting away at the
start OF a 100-yard dash. He has nothing
but natural born ability TO run, and
when this is developed under coach like
Maddox. look out for world beaten.
Others Break Records.
1t was the sprinting which gave Utah
the meet. In the field events it was near
" an even break and in one of the hur-
dies Colorado far excelled the men on
the east bench. In fact the state record
of IL seconds. which has withstood the
onslaughts of Father Time for four years
completely smashed by the speedy
high hurdler, Hamilton Of Colorado. Ben
Mon took a fall out of his own hammer
throw record. sending the leaden ball a
distance of 1873 feet inches. against the
former mark of 1856 feet II inches.
The Colorado team CAV up the pole
vault without trial. T. idams went
out and gave the public -libition of
vaulting il should be done. He started
in at ten feet, moved the bamboo pole up
TO eleven feet six inches at six inches at
a time. Then he showed it to twelve, but
got away bad and missed the final trial
As the wind was blowing a gale at this
time and the relay race was ready to
start Adams made no more attempts.
The day was a disagreeable one for a
meet Of this kind and there was a big
delay in getting it started.
