Show Famed Utah Blocking Functions to Perfection UTAH 6 - COLORADO U 7 Moving firmly down cool November gridiron trails, a sturdy Silver and Gold horde from Colorado U. at Boulder, led by their versatile veteran, wily Jim Counter, spilled Utah's titular aspirations, and stunned 15,000 fans with a surprising 7-6 upset of their favored foes. Apparent inability to stop C. U.'s potent tackle smashes, combined with faultless Boulder blocking were factors that brought the pennant poised Redskins their first defeat by Colorado in ten years. Culminating in a short pass into the end zone, a 35-yard sustained first half march gave the determined Buffaloes their only score, with the successful conversion later proving to be the deciding point of victory. Not until cool, calculating Bill Cowley entered the fray in the final quarter did the Crimson offense function, and although his accurate passing resulted in a belated touchdown, Utah's blocking back, Kramer, was unable to add the vital point that would have deadlocked the struggle. GERALD LUNNEN Injured in Ihe second game of the season, this husky sophomore battering ram was limited to little action at his fullback post during the year. LES GRAMES Combining consistent line play with the hazardous place kicking assignment, which he carried out with surprising precision, earned Grames a regular berth at guard. HAROLD MILLER An all-state end as a high school player, tiny but versatile Miller, because of the experienced veterans he competed with, played little throughout the season. Two Hundred Sixty-one |
