Show This picture provides an interesting leg study; careful examination will reveal an extra leg in the scene, but Cowboy No. 17 seems more concerned at the moment with how to escape the four pair of legs belonging to the surrounding Indians.Came the vaunted Cowboys boasting a powerful attack and a different type weapon, "the stall." On the other side of the Rockies, the Wyoming Pokes beat the Utes by four slim points, and the predominant question was whether the Utes could retaliate and stop the Wyoming puzzler. 'The lads from Uteville not only took the puzzle apart, but also solved one of their own puzzles by thumping the Cowboys 42 to 30 the first night and 44 to 36 the second.The factor that surprised most everyone was the method by which the Utes turned the tide. For Coach Peterson deserted his usual wide-open brand of ball and turned the tables on Wyoming's crafty court master, Ev Shelton, and beat the Cowboys at their own game by playing a control brand of ball. It was indeed a sweet victory.During the first home game, Vern Gardner once again paved the way by scoring 14 big points. The next evening Vern was held down in the scoring column, but Big Dick Smuin took over and made up the difference with 12 counters. The twin victories not only kept the Utes in the thick of the flag chase, but were also important moral victories as Wyoming wasn't supposed to stumble. Before a jam-packed fieldhouse both nights, the Utes pulled off their prize surprise of the season.The Cowboys and Indians go high into the air after the leather sphere, each team trying desperately to gain control of the ball. This was a game between the chief contenders for conference honors.222 |
