Show tied denver soon after In his first year at Utah Pappy Jack Curtice has really made a hit. One reason is his 14-to-14 tie with the well-publicized team from Denver U. Returning Denver lettermen greatly outnumbered those from Utah, and the game was also on their home grounds. However, Curtice's razzle-dazzle Texas style was successful, and the Utes stopped a team which had been rated as one of the West's strongest. Donald Kalicki End Don Price End Before play began, Denver's team was ranked as one of the strongest in the conference. After four weeks of play, however, they had lost three games and tied one; their tie was with Utah. The final tally read 14 all, as the two teams tied for the fourth time in the history of their rivalry, which began back in 1903. Hal Pfiefer and Sam Etcheverry made trouble for Utah as they combined their passing and running talents to set up both of Denver's touchdowns. Don Peterson, Utah's ace extra-pointer, came through again with one T.D. and two conversions to play perhaps his best game of the year. The Utes edged the Pioneers in every phase of the game except in the final score. Bill Clay End Sandy Morris End 291 |
