PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR UTAH TEAM
Rocky Mountain Champions
Have Much Promising
Material This Year.

With the most promising prospects that
have confronted a university football
team for years, the eleven for 1903 has
started training. What makes the out
look so brilliant this season is the fact
that Coach Maddox will have nine men
of last years team who claim the Rocky
mountain championship ready to step into
their suits. Besides this assurance OF a
good eleven, there is a lot Of new ma
terial besides several stars who have
played the game elsewhere. One more
important point in favor of a good team
this year is the presence of Coach Milne,
formerly of the l.. D. S university, who
can give the men some good pointers and
who will put them in great shape.
The team is at present at Lagoon Tor
preliminary work. A large number or
men are there. and they are being put
into excellent condition. The program IN
cludes short workouts. kicking, sixia1S
and other light practice, besides swim
ming. rowing and other sports Next
Monday with the opening of school the
regular practices will be held on cum
ming's field, when season OF hard Work
The q eleven this year will include
some good men. Among the new ones
is Ed Mills from Denver, Colo;, who
comes here to take a law course. He has
played end on Colorado college and also
on the University of Colorado team Be
fore entering college he played four years
on the Manual Training High school IN
RADIO interscholastic team. He Will be d
valuable man for the Utah team. Narley
is another man who will be welcomed into
the ranks He is the same old Tom Var
lev who played for two years with an
enviable record il the center or the me.
He returns this year for graduate work
and he says he will try 10 find tune for
some work on the gridiron. MaddocK
will have an excellent nucleus for a team
with ten old men back. They are Con-
will, captain and fullback; Grant at quar-
ter, Bryant and Home at tackles, Houstan
and Snow ends and Palm and olsen
guards Varley Will acceptably fill Nor
riss' place at center but the great hole
left in the team is Cuddy Russell and
Henry Richardson. the star halfbacks or
last year, who were the best ground
gamers the u ever had. 1t is possible
that Richardson may return 10 school,
but he will not play football this year
This sacrifice Will enable MN 10 pay
the next two years. although II Will
handicap the team seriously this season
There are many candidates to I'LL the
places of these two stars: Among the
who played a halfback on high school the
last two years. He is putting on lots OF
weight and promises TO become a rival
to his older brother.
A number of other good men who are
trying out for the team are Karrick.
Mackay, Carlson, Peterson, who played
center the first part of last season and
weighs 2l5, Count Christensen and Rich
ARDS captain MOndHAu VI INC scNohu
team and Bill Hunt, the captain-elect for
the track team, and who played terrific
half for the second team last year, Jes-
sup, the other half, are prospective back
field men. Wilkinson. a husky from Ce-
iar City, who weighs over 200 and has a
county record in the sprints. will make a
hid for place on the line. With these
excellent prospects. Maddox ana Milne
hope to round up an aggregation that can
defend Utahs claim on the Rocky noun
tain championship.
