DENVER, Nov. 5.-(P--Denver uni
versity has dropped the huddie system
and donned blue jerseys for tomorrow's
premier with Utah universitys band of
Redskins the headliner football at
traction in Rocky Mountain conference
circles. Fred II. Dawson, who as coach
at Nebraska university perfected a de-
fense to beat the great Notre Dame
eleven, has put in a busy week with
his eccentric PioneersAa team capable
of great things, but guilty of mental
lapses that have been costly. Il
The slogan Beat Utah" has resound-
ed over the Denver university campus.
The Pioneers have whiled away their
chances for the conference gonfalon,
but victory over Ike Armstrong; s.
Indians would appease disappointed
band of D. U. followers, who expected
big things at the start of the season.
The Pioneers have cast aside their
crimson and gold sweaters for this
game in order to avoid mixups bound
to come had both carried their tradi-
tional colors. Dawson has been per-

ellis, the sorrel-topped jumping jack,
and the elongated Pete Dow, the con-
ference's newest sensation. This pair
of Utah backs have befuddled every
thing they have encountered. The Utah
line play may undergo changes before
the game is over, principally because
Dawson confidentally expects to nail
Howells and Dow before they get to
the secondary defense. Denver most
assuredly has an off and on team, but
the men were off their game against
the Utah Aggies and they may get go
ing tomorrow.
There appears to be little to choose
between the Utah Aggies and Colorado
Aggies at Fort Collins, but Denver
football followers who have seen both
teams in action strongly favor the
Colorado team. Coach Dick Romney's
eleven was unimpressive in it's defeat
of d. U. here last week. Captain Floyd
Thomas and Caldwell may engage in an
exhibition of open field running.
Thomas has not been able to get away
this year and his big backfield COM
panion, Hawley, although good
plunger, has failed to show the form
that made him feared in other seasons.
The Colorado Aggies are handicapped
by a few INJURIES but will have virtu-
ally all the first string strength on the
fled.
The Colorado Miners have invited
their old grads back to watch the an
Inhalation of the University of Colorado
at Golden. Neither team is having al
good season, but the rivalry always at
tached to their meeting has aroused
no small amount of interest, with the
critics hesitating to predict the out

beaten Cooper's team4 every time they
have come together previously, but
there promises to be a reversal of form
tomorrow. Montana State, undefeated,
comes into contact with a fighting
band of Cougars representing Brigham

Coach Hart's men have been improving
rapidly Colorado college, just finding
it's real power, tied into the University
of wyoming at Colorado Springs and
the home team is given Sight edge.
The Tigers can clarity the still muddled
situation in the standings by whipping
the Cowboys. Coach Van Degraaff has
