ties of Wyoming and Utah. 1t is true
that the Wyoming team was out

man, but it was also ogtclassed in
knowledge of the game and in physical
condition, showing that it was not

10 play rings around the visitors.
A feature of the game was the fact
that two of the players made their
S'U'' in the contest. Nelson, a green
sophomore who has only recently been
given serious attention by the coach,
played the entire game at guard, not
only winning his letter, but also dem
onstrating that he can deliver the goods

position during the remainder of the
season, Jesse Walker, whose football
career began in the interclass series

tackles Charlie Houston converted
both touchdowns into goals. Car
