IN the past SIX years the SAttNV uAlNSt
sity and the state agricultural college
have met six times on the gridiron, and
each game has returned the university a
winner. Yesterday, the sixth straight VIC
tory for Coach Maddox and his crimson
players came when the Aggies were de-
feated, % to Q. 1t was a good game of
football between two elevens well
matched in physical ability and each well
drilled in the game. The team that had
more individual stars, that had eleven
men of gridiron experience, and that had
been drilled well in a brilliant and diver
sified attack, as well as possessing a
stonewalI defense, won. Utah won fairly
and on merit although playing luck may
be said to have favored her little.
The battle was fought on grldlron sur
rounded by one of the largest ana most
representative assemblages Of football tol-
lowers that has graced Cummings Held.
The weather, though cloudy, was ideal tor
players and spectators, and the uelu,
while a trifle soft, was all that could De

the Utah students, several cheering sec
lions for classes being set apart In the
grandstand, surrounding their cOilege
band. the Aggie roOters did their best TO
make their team win. and hurled back
across the field their cheers and songs
with a fine show of spirit.
The east bleachers were also packed
with spectators, and around the north END

containing their ribbon bedecked parties
We're lined two deep. Five thousand per-
sons saw the play.
Balloons Go Up.
Between the halves an enthusiastic band
of students sent sailing over Black noun

Roars of laughter greeted the tngnt OF
the animal as, waited by the south Dfeele,
he made his way over the school Dulld-

balloon similar to that of the firse two,
only this time cheers from the Aggle sec

students laughed, however, as with lOuu

to the ground.
that Utah had no easy task before her to
carry off the honOrs OF the day
The Aggies won the toss and selected
to receive the kickoff on the south goal,
which was favored with noticeable wind.
In the first two plays the AggieS sought
TO penetrate the Utah line, put IN esch
attempt were thrown for loss Batt
kicked and Utah was pounding away
toward the Farmer goal. Twice were the
yards made, and then the Aggles heid
and the ball went over.
From then on until Loves sensational
50-yard run did the ball see-saw back and
forth, although always in the Ag8le terri
tory Utah seemed to gain consistently,
but a forward pass that fell short, pen
altv combined with the stubborn playing
of the visitors, kept the crimson eleVeh
from within the 0-yard line.
After Is minutes of play, Doolittle shot
a forward pass to Love, who, after max
ing a beautiful catch, sprinted, twisting
AE0fe
to the goal line for the first score
Love Star.
Not only in this one run, but in the
making of the second touchdown, and IN
numerous other brilliant dashes through
the Aggie line and ends, did Love SHOW
himself TO be one of the most brittany
ground gamers through broken tleld
ever seen at the university. In the all
around handling of the ball and running
the signals for his team, Love showed
that he further possessed the qualities OF
a field general and quarterback.
on three other occasions was the Agg1e
goal line crossed. but only in the sec
Ond half. For the remainder Of the first
half the Aggies kept their goal safe.
Three times DOOlittie tried for goal
from placernent, but the wind fooled each

testing every inch gained. Early they
showed themselves hard and effectVe
tacklers. and possessed Of a strong line.
Utah made gains through the line but
the open play and end runs from fake
formations were found easier.
The second half opened with IoeH
at fullback having relieved Dooiittle
with a minute to play left in the first
half Though still suffering from an
injury to his knee, Loels ability to
nut ginger in the Utah men was seen
at once. The first play after the kick
off was a forward pass, Loen TO Love,
but the ball struck the ground. Forced
to kick after the penalty, Loell sent
the oval to Egbert, who fumbled, and
Walker recovered for Utah. With the
hall in midfeld the same forward pass,
Ioeu to Love, was attempted. This
time the play worked, and Love, stand
ing on the west side line, caught the
ball prettily and started his dash for
the Aggie goal. Two Aggies were
shaken off, and only Egbert coming
in fast was left. AS Egbert left his
feet for the tackle, Love lodged like
a flash to the inside and got by his
man. With the stands in an uproar
the ball was planted behind the posts, /
and LCell later kicked the goal. Score, !
IL TO for Utah.
Utah Uses Pass.
Here began again the use of the |
forward pass by Utah, Loen standing |
far back of his line hurting the sphere |
from twenty to thirty yards. Some /
worked for good gains, but the Aggies /
were getting onto the play and many /
failed. At that the ball was worked /
up to the Aggies' tWenty-yard line. /
