ball team was beaten 4e to 0 BY the
University Of Washington In Seattle
on Thanksgiving Day. The visitors
were completely overwhelmed. and

got started.
Colorado's offense was woefully
weak and her plays were smothered
almost before they began. In de-

Colorado tried few open plays and
forward passes but was unable to
break away because Of the heavy
field and the impresnable defense Of
her opponents.
