Show Call Evades Foe in Brilliant Run UTAH 7 - DENVER 0 Determined to revenge last season's humiliating defeat, an enraged group of Redskins, halted and outplayed for three quarters by a superb Denver defense, capitalized on an intercepted pass to squeeze out a narrow 7-0 triumph over their valiant Pioneer foe. Unable to drive beyond their opponent's 15-yard line for forty-five minutes of the intense play, and with Locey's inspired men pushing deep into Utah territory at the start of the fourth period, alert Thornley Swan, turning the tide of victory, dashed into the midst of a lateral pass play, intercepted the ball, and raced 60 yards to a touchdown, and the only score of the game. Although repelling several relentless Pioneer advances during the afternoon, a deadly aerial attack, and powerful smashes by the hammering Denver backfield almost spelled defeat for Armstrong's warriors, but the forward wall, led by the plucky Savich and the husky McKenzie, became impregnable when the goal line was seriously threatened. MARV PUGH DE MOTTE POMEROY DON JEPPSON Much lighter than Savich, whom he resembled on the playing field, this fearless little guard, although handicapped by weight, saw considerable duty in every contest. Power plays have always been one of the Crimson's favorite offensive weapons, and Pomeroy, powerful fullback, was a proven exponent of devastating line smashing. A powerful rampart on the line was the vicious tackling Jeppson whose charging two hundred pounds easily made him one of the outstanding reserves. Two Hundred Fifty-nine |
