Weak.
NO COLORADO GAME SURE
HEAVY EXPENSE OF TRIP A BIG
DRAWBACK.

The second week Of school at the
University Of Utah shows the foot
ball squad for 1909 getting into good
condition for the season. The material
TO date is about on par with the
material of other years. The line viii
be stronger than it has been for some
years. Dave Olsen, 200-pounder' Is
making good at guard. Clifford Ashby,
another heavyweight, will probably be
found either in the guard or center
position. Captain "Tillie" Olsen will
be found at one tackle and Billie Home
at the other. The end positions viii
he hard fought for on account OF the
number of candidates.
As at the beginning Of previous foot
ball years, Utah's back field is not as
strong as the supporters would like
TO see II. Loel, the Michigan star,
will probably be found at the fullback
position. As yet Henry Richardson is
still out on account OF objections at
home. Darwin Richardson, who played
the other half last year, is not back
at school. kratZ, who was in early
training at the Lagoon and made a
good showing at half back, will prob
ably quit the squad the coming week
Grant, who has played the quarter
back position for the past two years,
is still declared ineligible to partlci-
pate in athletics by the university
faculty. This leaves Jesse Walker the
only man for the back field position
who has previous training on univer-
sity, squads; Love, a former Granite

In promising shape for the quarter
back position, but the absence of Grant
is keenly felt both by the coach and
the players.
Large Squad Out.
The squad of this year is sufficiently
large to permit Of two full teams,
so that the first team Will be able to
secure some good sCrimmage work for
their games.
The first game Of the season will be
played with the. ogden High school
in ogden, oct. 2. This will enable
Coach Maddox to pick a team to play
the first collegiate game Of the sea-

The Utah schedule for the coming
year win not be as heavy as II has
been in former years. The university
faculty at their first meeting of the
year held Coach Maddox and the ath-

schedule arranged at the close Of last
year these games viii be played as
follows: Two games with the Utah
Agriculture college, one game with
the Montana Agriculture college, one
game with the Montana School of
Mines, and one game with the Uni
The possibilities for a game with
the Colorado schools is very remote.
On account Of the arrogant way in
which the University OF Colorado has
treated the Utah university, the Uni
versity of Utah has decided to pass
Up this school for one year. On &C
count OF conflicting dates the univer-
sity was unable to make date with
the University of Denver or the Colo
RADIO college. The only possible chance
for a Colorado game will be with
Golden. If the Colorado School of
Mines would consent to come to Utah
there is a possibility that q game with
that school might be arranged and
one of the games with the Montana
schools dropped. The Colorado school,
however, refuses to come to Utah Utah
on the other hand refuses to go to
Colorado TO play one game on a $500
guarantee, they are unable to
make expenses. As the Colorado school
claims they are unable to give
higher guarantee the probabilities for
a game are extremely remote with
any Colorado team.
