FOOTBALL SEASON I J. ARMSTRONG Football Coach Football LED by Captain Jack Howells, the Red Devils held the highly touted Northwest- ern University team to a last minute 13-6 victory at Evanston in the first game of the year, and returned to defeat Colorado Mines and Boulder in the first games played in the new Utah stadium. The strain of the long trip to Northwes- ern began to tell in the next game and the Colorado Aggies handed the Redskins their first defeat in two years at Fort Collins. Utah lost its second inter-sectional clash to Creighton two weeks later and then finished up the season by romping through B. Y. U. to a victory at Provo and battling the Utah Aggies to a score- less tie on Thanksgiving Day in the final game of the year. 1927 VARSITY SQUAD FRON1 ROW, II I- 1 TO RIGHT: VAN I AW, I III lis.

THE BIG GAME ALTON CARMAN Tackle, Captain Elect GEORGE GLEN Manager E. L. ROMNEY Coach, Utah A. C. Utah U.A.C. PLAYING a brilliant de- fensive game, the Utah Aggies held the favored University of Utah football team to a scoreless tie in the annual Thanksgiving Day classic. 17,000 fans, Utah ' s largest and most colorful football crowd, watched the contest from the banks of the new Ute stadium. Although the Redskins went into the game doped to win by at least one touchdown, their traditional rivals actually out-played them. Three times the Redskins crashed into scoring territory and three times they were turned back with the goal line in sight as the Aggies tightened to take the ball on downs. Utah ' s greatest threat was made just before the third quarter ended when Howells stepped back for a pass on the 20-yard line. The Aggie de- fense scattered to cover all possible receivers of the pass and with the field clear, Howells tore to the ten-yard line and fought his way to within four yards of BIG PETE TAKES A WAU.M LP JAUN1 AI(iHM) nil U ' .i.ll I I A K
