Show Sports writers, fearing that the inexperience was too great a disadvantage for the team to overcome, foresaw dire results when the Redskins took the field. It was difficult to believe that a young team could withstand the batterings from older, larger, and more experienced teams. Ordinarily they would have been correct in their analysis, but they overlooked the fact that the present edition of the Utes was composed of a fighting group of men, all interested in the same goal, whereas in former years the teams were built to revolve about one or two important players. This team spirit soon developed into team work, and when a Redskin team composed largely of Sophomores and Juniors met Greeley State in the season's opener and defeated them by a far wider margin than conditions indicated they should have, the Wiseacres soon slowed down and began to take the "teamwork Utes" seriously.
