Davis Bischoff Winwood Suromerhays Pilling Fairbanks Forsberg Utter THE SEASON A well balanced squad of Crimson gridders annexed the 1929 Rocky Mountain Conference Championship without the loss of a single contest. Coach Armstrong's charges were well groomed in all the fundamentals and completed a seven-game schedule undefeated. Relying chiefly on offensive methods, Coach Armstrong's eleven was feared by all conference opponents. Utah's aerial attack was deceptive to all opposition. The Crimson off-tackle plunges and line bucks could simply not be stopped. Utah's reserve material was of the highest caliber. Several times the substitutes pulled games out of fire. The loss of Captain Bob Davis, quarterback; Earl Pomeroy, fullback; Pete Dow, halfback; Jimmy Hodgson, halfback; Dean Olson, Ernie Simpkins, and Leon Jones, tackles, will be greatly felt by the squad next year. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The Freshman squad, under the direction of Coaches Vere Champion and Alton Carmen, was one of the most promising in the University history. The Frosh men, as a whole, were large and possessed plenty of football experience. Captain Frank Christensen, the all-state athlete from Granite high school was the giant oak in the frosh football forest. Frank is considered the logical successor to Powerhouse Pomeroy at fullback, judging from the way he kicked, passed, and ran the ball for the greenlings. The Frosh have such men as "Feet" Tedesco, all-state halfback of 1928; Dan Beckstead, a fine blocker and line smasher; Walt McDonald, a stellar center; and other such men as Garff, Grames, Sonne, Fetzer, Moon and Eardley. With this strength added to the already powerful varsity, Utah bids fair for another conference championship in 1930.
