Every two years Utah football enthu
siasts have the opportunity Of seeing
the University Of Utah meet the Uni
veraity Of Colorado In Salt Lake. Only
once have they had the e1treme pleas
ure Of seeing the crimson warriors
sary of the honors. That was back
an 1905, when Utah had the best team
an Its history. Ever since that memo
Fable day. when Utah scored two
touchdowns on Boulder and preserved
her own goal line from being crossed
Utah fans have looked forward to q
repetition of that victory.
Once since then the trick has been
turned, but 1t was done IN Colorado.
Next Saturday these two big teams
meet again in Salt Lake. Right now
Boulder Is unquestionably stronger
Z than Utah, and unless the next week
sees great improvement in the east
bench aggregation the indications nre
that we will all have another opportu-
nifty to hang our heads and say "Boul-
der was too strong" or Boulder was
too lucky"
Coaches Are Dubious.
Coaches Bennion and Nelly are not
yet convinced that there is not 4 foot
ball team Of firstclass standing at the
state institution, but they do admit
that as yet they have not discovered
just where the strength lies. They
have one short week in which to round
out the mass of Drawn into an intelli-
gently working organization. They
are working desperately toward that
end, but If they are not fortunate IN
diagnosing the ailment which has at
tackled the varsity team, they will be
forced to yield to the collection of vet
Grams which the big school from Colo
rado will send over hero.
In the first place, the mere fact that
the Utah team Is new is thing that
will work to its disadvantage. 1t is
teams which have been superior to tho
Boulder teams have been defeated sim
ply because 1t was "Boulder' they
were meeting.
Boulder Has Veterans.
1t is Ike a worlds series PROPOSE
ton. The strain is too great and Just
the name 'tBoulder" gets Utah's goat
and the team IS unable TO put up the
best it has. This stage fright Is more
liable to attack new man than an
old one, and since SO many men on the
varsity team this year are recruits, this
factor will be an important one next
Saturday. If the Utah men find the
Boulderites difficult to hold, the name
- Boulder viii overwhelm them and
the score will be large.
r., on the contrary, the Utah BOYS
find that they can hold the Boulder
Il l.
through Boulder's line, then the story
will be different. They will be highly
stimulated and will go after tho Colo
radoans like demons. The work Of
this week will determine whether or
not they will be able to do this.
Last week was one Of experiment on
Cummings field. Many changes in the
lineup were tried, and If they prove Of
value, then Utah may win.

Stack Is either a backneid man or an
