Show The parade was climaxed by the game itself. Ike Armstrong's charges were hailed as the mightiest eleven in the Rocky Mountain Conference when they came out on the long end of' a forty to nothing score. National sports writers commented on the consistent brilliance of Utah's team, and local sports writers were beginning to see another championship cup in the offing. Alumni howled gleefully, and the names of "Pres" Summerhays, 'Powerhouse" Pomeroy, "Brute" Jonas and the rest of the eleven were on the lips of every citizen in the state who reads a daily paper.

Boulderites, still amazed at the overwhelming defeat their team had suffered, but, trying to forget it, immersed themselves in the embraces of illicit waters, along with some staunch Utah supporters who simply couldn't contain themselves, thereby contributing greatly to the color, if not the success, of the affair. |
