Mountain Conference.

The end Of the football season
found the college with seven vic
tories and one tie score to its credit
in the conference games. The only
game remaining to be played was
with the University of Denver and
this, unfortunately, could not be ar
ranged although the U. A. C. pro-
posed to Denver to play the game
either in Colorado or in Utah.
Comparative scores showed up
well for the Utah 'Aggies. Thus. for
example. the Utah Aggies defeated
the Colorado Aggies by score Of
81 to Z, while Denver defeated them
only 10 to Z. Likewise the Utah
men won by score Of SO to 0 over
the University of Wyoming, while
Denver got the better OF them by the
far closer score of Is to 10. At the
end of the football season the Utah
Aggies had total score of 256 and
had only 81 points scored against
them. OF these latter, six were won

The Rocky Mountain Conference

es: State Agricultural College Of

sity of Colorado. Colorado College.
Colorado State School of Mines. Col
orado Agricultural College, Mon

Of Wyoming and University of Utah.
Among these western football play
ers, the Utah Aggies have hereto
fore held very modest place. their
one desire usually being to win the
game against the University of Utah
as over this game between the two

I enthusiasm runs as high as it does

fore Thanksgiving over the Har-
vard-Yale game.
The reason for lack of success in
football at the U. A. c. in the past
has been lack of good coaching and
kof good football material. Thi:
year the Utah Aggies were nearly
all experienced men who had played
the game two or three college sea
sons, while four freshmen on the
team were Salt Lake men who hat
played on high school teams. Tn
Utah Aggies were especially for.an
ate in their coach, j. w. Watson

star at center, who had already d. !,
with the college one season and who
will be with 1t again next year, He
is a firm believer in the colleges cor
tinuing their athletic activities.
Coach Watson's style Is charac
terized by open plays and strong de

under Coach Zupke. Douglas Can

on this year as the All Rocky Noun
tain center. Likewise Maurice Site
fel '21, and A. G. Twitchell, is
were believed to be qualified for al
Rocky Mountain quarterback ant
tackle respectively.
Much OF the success or the veal
was due to the long distance puntint
by Clyde Morley, 81, and the rapit
running done by Twitchell, who al
the year, besides being captain, new
er failed to nail his man in hi!
tracks. Stiefel kicked goals accur
ately and showed perhaps the ciev
crest direction in running the game
