in this town who hes failed to Show excitement iS Brigham Young, who Is cast in bronze at thet op ct Main street. And they tell me its no more than an even bet that Brigham won't get down off his pedestal and be on the fifty yard line by kicks ooff time.
 This tremendous interest In the game is more than little surprising to Q man who has lived In the east 30 long his ankles are chafed from wearing spats, and who thinks the Hudson, not the Mississippi is the father of waters. That automobile ride from Denver, with It's long hours of utter solitude among the Rockies peaks, and ints spare little settle- ments with such names as Rabbit Ears, Troublesome, and Tooele. doesn't lessen the surprise ot suds denly finding oneself in the midst of bowling thousands who show all the symptoms of gridiron dementia.
 Last night and today Salt Lake City offered the technically correct football scene. There were just the proper and official number of root' CTS who had looked on the grape at It's fermented best-or worst. And they beloved just the proper un- intelligible noises. The hotel lobbiea were damned just to the proper point of suffocation and the sidea walks and streets were beautifully unnavigable, The correct number of shop windows were soaped with Beat Colorado" and "Bust En Redskins" and the ticket scalpers whispered their wares in faultlesS out of the corner . of-the -kisser manner.
 And, from what I can learn, tho football is the same, too. I mean the boys out here play the game just as well and just as vigorously aa they do in the more highly pub. liciSed areas. It has long been . habit of the press box pedants, when 1t came time to name the All. America players, and nominate tho to make Q nonstop hop from the various teams for the various bowls. Big Ten right on to the Pacific coast, thus completely ignoring the Rocky Mountain conference.
 This Is Q mistake, and you need only to make Q quick study of the roster of the professional teams to be convinced. Headed by the ono ana only Dutch Clark, the Rocky Mountain district hos no fewer than l5 or 20 players performing, and performing well, In the toughest football league of them all, There are Frank Christiansen, Jack John. son, George GrosVenor, Del Ritch. hert, and Beryl Rose, to name c few. They came from Utah, Colorado D., Colorado college, Utah State, and dreenley Teachers, and other schools not 80 well knoin in foot. ball circles.
 Colorado today will employ guar. terback-Byron "Whi2Eer" White whose record is brilliant one. 10 is entirely possible that he may be the b est all-around back in the country. But All-Aynerica's are made by publicity and Colorado's pub. licity budget for al lsports, from swimming to track, is $700 year. I can name you Q dozep schools who spend that much each year on irn- ported cigarets for their publicity men.
 This, incidentally, Is one of my buster days. I was up ct 3 Q. m. boarding Q plane for the Bonneville salt flats to watch Captain George E. T. Eyston race his Thunderbolt across the salt flats at Bonneville, i25 miles away, and then had to fly back here to attend the Colorado and Utah boys game this afternoon.
