Show The best thing in football is coordination. With everyone clicking, opposing lines are torn open, backs plunge through, and touchdowns are the result. This is a good sample, showing how Utah clicked in the Colorado Aggie game. Utah Whips Aggies the first quarter, the Utes dipped deep into Aggie territory and Frank Christensen finally crossed the last Aggie marker for the first score of the game. Captain Price made it 7 points. Ray Forsberg took over the Ute reins in the second period and gathering his powerful charges hurled them thrice across State's goal to leave the score 34-0 at half time. A 45-yard dash by Watkins on a pass from Forsberg whetted thousands of Thanksgiving appetites in this period. Tee Davis scurried 30 yards for one of these counters, too, while the steady, reliable line-plugging of Captain Price brought another. The Aggies played their best ball to hold the Ute reserves in the third period, but with the regular war horses back in harness, Utah scored its sixth and final touchdown when T. Davis on a reverse play scampered around the Aggies who had bunched for a power drive. It was finis for eight of the greatest players to illumine R. M. C. gridirons: Captain Ray Price, Marvin Jonas, George Watkins, Chub Utter, Theran Davis, Ray Forsberg, June McBride, and Preston Summerhays. All graduated in June, 1931. By winning the top honors of the conference, the University team not only kept its slate clean for being undefeated in three years of competition, but also received recognition for this enviable record throughout the entire country. Plans were made for a post-season game with the University of Southern California, but they did not materialize. However, Utah will journey to Seattle to meet the University of Washington on September 26, 1931, in the most important inter-sectional contest for Utah in the last five years. 213 |
