Show B. Y. uncorks a well-groomed aerial attack pinnacle BRIGHAM YOUNG U 13-UTAH 45 Pres Summerhays Halfback Held on even terms in the first quarter by a crew of eleven fighting Cougars, who were immeasurably aided by a Ute fumble and several Ute penalities, the flashy University of Utah football team swept forth again with an irresistable force to gain the pinnacle of the Rocky Mountain conference by subduing the Brigham Young University gridders of Provo, Utah, 45 to 13, before a colorful crowd of more than 13,000 in the Utah stadium. The big Red and White football machine burst out in a rash of three touchdowns in the second quarter and, although the visitors managed to cross the heretofore untempered Utah goal line twice, the Redskins continued their thundering by scoring four touchdowns in the concluding half. That second period gave the fans probably their greatest thrill of the entire grid spectacle. For the sly Cougars had succeeded in doing what three other opponents had been unable to do; they had scored on Utah. For Utah, the conference champions had suddenly exploded and scored three spectacular touchdowns in the first half. This game drew much interest, as it was the fighting Cougars who held the Utes to a scoreless tie in 1928. There were moments in this game that the Cougars certainly looked like champion material, running the ends and shooting many passes, some of which where good for good yardage and was the Cougars way of obtaining both their touchdowns. But in the final two periods the Cougars had to be satisfied with holding Utah to as small a score as possible. Les Walling Center |
