Show T, HE Utah University stadium was without a 1932 Thanksgiving day classic as a result of an attempt to stage the traditional Ute-Aggie clash without the usual concommitant unpleas-antries-rain, snow, cold, and mud wallows. On October 29, Smilin' Dick Romney led his Utah Aggie grid proteges into the "U" bowl for the main event of Utah's homecoming festivities. Sunshine and a fast greensward backgrounded the affair for the first time in several years. Rated three to five touchdowns inferior to the touted Tribe, the Aggies provided an eye-opener by keeping the Crimson away from their goal for the entire first half. After the rest period the Redskins came back and scored two touchdowns, two goals, and a safety, for a 16-0 win. When the Utes were unable to get far in the first half with Crashin' Chris advancing the ball behind lighter blockers, the "U" board of strategy decreed Captain Christensen to block. The result was that the diminutive Roily Sleator reeled off yardage almost no end. Ute Reverses Make Yardage Through Denver Line Page 248 / |
