quarter.
Sutherland Brilliant.
Not overlooking the fact that the
team as q whole played creditably, the
work of one or two men shown brll-
liantly and their efforts to bring vic
tory to Utah will not be forgotten by
Utah students. To Captain Rex Suth-
erland alone is due the credit Of not
only rounding out most OF the plays and
encouraging his meu throughout, but
also of Figuring prominently in almost
every play both defensive and often
sive His work stood out conspicuous
ly, and not once did he think of giving
the game up as lost
The two touchdowns were made by
him. the ball being carried over each
time from distance within the five or
ten-yard line. He made four gains good
for distances of from twenty-five TO
forty yards. and he seemed to be the
only Utah player who could successful
" go around the strong Colorado ends.
Sutherland started the game at guar
terback He later shifted to fulloack
when Mcintyre went to tackle to re-
place Tolman. He finished at quarter,
strongest Second only TO Sutherland
was the work of Roy Mcintyre. His
part in the plays was perhaps not as
conspicuous as Sutherland IS. but never
thcless he broke up many Of the Colo"
RADIO formations, and mis- tackling was
notably strong.
The other Utah men deserve their
full share of credit for their part in
playing against men of considerably
more weight and possessing better
knowledge of the game.
Utah Eliminated.
The first part Of the game unmis-
takably showed the work OF veterans
against noviees. Colorado, with its vet
Grams, should have little trouble In TAX
ing the conference honors this year.
The men are drilled to a finish and
their deceiving plays are bound TO gain
for them many yards. They Will be
given a stiff battle by the Colorado
School of Mines, however, with whom
they must now contend for the title,
Utah and Colorado college were both
eliminated yesterday, Colorado college
having been defeated by the Mines,
Utah and Colorado college have each
been beaten twice, Mines has not yet
been beaten and the University of Colo
RADIO was held to a tie by Colorado col
lege.
An insight into the work Of the Utah
players yesterday reveals the fact that
the nucleus of championship aggrega-
tion for 1914 played for Utah. The
experience this year is most valuable
and next year the team may be count
ed on to figure in the battle for the
title
Colorado s scoring yesterday came as
the result of a veteran machine like
baekfeld, working out plays behind a
splendid interference OF line men
Donovan, Nelson, Ivers and Walters,
back6eld men, gained through the line
or on end plays almost at will. Colo
RADIOS touchdowns were made by Don
evan. Huber and Ivers Donovan made
two; Huber and Ivers one each. Three
points were made by Nelson on place,
ment kick from the twenty-five yard
Line. The goal was kicked after three
of the four touchdowns.
Forward Pass Works.
Following the touchdowus by Suther'
land, Mcintyre failed TO kick goal, the
ball falling short Of the post by a
small margin The first part of the
game was free from forward passes,
Colorado tried the play uusuccessfully
{ and later discontinued using 1T alto
gether. Utah tried once in the first
half with no success. In the last half,
however. Utah s gains were made main
" through the forward pass and the
play worked with remarkable success
The rapidity with which they were
pulled off surprised the Colorado men
and they seemed unable to divine
where the ball would be thrown.
The playing of both teams was at
tended by much fumbling, at times
costly. Several times, however, fun
bled ball was recovered by the team
in whose possession the ball was
Colorado tried the ou.side kick once OF
twice bnt without success. Serious
! injuries were absent from the game
Gardner OF Utah was slightly hurt twice
and Nelson of Colorado once.
Substitutes who went in for Utah
were Worthman, Brockmeyer, Lille
Parry and Marthakis. McCary, half
! back, was the only substitute player
used by Colorado,
The Game in Detail.
Colorado walked onto the field ten min
utes before Utah appeared. Neither team
ran through any signal work, but simply
tried few kicks and little passing;
Captain Sutherland won the toss and
chose 10 defend the north goal Nelson
kicked OF for Colorado at just o'clock.
! The kick vas good and rolled over the
Utah goal line. where Gardner touched
Il down for touchback.
The BAH was put into play on the
| twenty-yard line by Utah. Hamilton
tried right guard but made nothing On
! the next down Mcintyre sent tiity-yard
{ -''io' H~v.n To- Walters. Utah's ends got
down fast and Walters was able TO bring
tne .juit Lack only Eve yards,
Ivers Makes Forty.
