The story of this accomplishf ment is one of team spirit - when the Utes had it, they Wong when they didn't, they lost. Utah held Colorado of the Big Ten to a bare 30 to 24 Win after leading until the final seconds. lt was this same Colorado team that met Oklahoma, rated No. 1, and barely lost a heart breaker, 7 to 6, Against mighty Army the Redskins gained 316 yards through the air and at one point led 14 to 13. This was one of three times during the entire season that Army trailed. Utah proved that it could stand up to some of the best the nation had to offer. Lee Grosscup led the Ute honor list as AllfAmerican and All Conference Quar- terback. Cther Utes chosen as All Conf ference were Merrill Douglas, fullbackg lohn Urses, centerg Stuart Vaughan, halff backg and Evert lones, tackle.
