Show The 1946 version of the Redskin football team cap-tured the fan's fancy from the opening game. A dazzling, wide-open, break-away style of ball featured every game. A rash of early season injuries caused many a loyal fan to lose a little sleep, but the Utes came through in spite of their obvious handicap, to impress the fans and experts alike. An early season attack of touchdown fever placed the Redskins high among the nation's leaders in the offensive department. With scat-back Morris Ficklin out with injuries, Parkinson, Hafen, Smith and Adelt took over the ball-carrying duties. Ray Peterson added to his laurels by becoming "automatic" when called upon to kick the point after touchdown. The highlight of the very successful season was the upset 21-13 win over the U. of San Francisco and its flashy back, Forrest Hall. Before the largest crowd ever to witness a football game in the "U" stadium, the determined Loganites downed the Utes, 22-14. Cowboys give Utes quite a scare before bowing, 27-7. |
