I x 'rig ef 4 9?-232 A -or '58 aughan sets record Turkeyday Win gave Utes title Stu Vaughan set his Skyline record for pass re- ceptions as the Utes downed a young but eager Air Force team 34 to O. Grosscup, playing less than half the game, completed l3 for 16 passes. Eight of these were hauled in by speedy, little Vaughan who scored two touchdowns. This put Vaughan just nine recep- tions away from an all-time national pass catching mark. It was a case of a deep and seasoned Ute squad if? , 1 n X on 6, ., - .Y H. downing an undermanned and inexperienced Air Academy team in a rather leisurely fashion. When the Utes entered the stadium on Thanks- giving, they put several prizes on the line. First was the highly undecided Skyline Championship. Utah had also two other marks at stake. Stu Vaughan needed only nine more pass receptions to set an all- time mark in pass completion percentage. After being held scoreless in a frustrating first half, which saw their highly touted passing game wrecked by a charging Aggie line, the Utes broke the game wide open in the third quarter with a three- touchdown effort. And that was all they needed to garner the Skyline Crown 21 to 6. lt was big Merrill Douglas, who broke the hearts of a fired up Aggie team as he WCIIIZ for two long jaunts within minutes of each other. For Vaughan the day was disappointing. He needed only nine receptions, but the stubborn Aggies held him to four. Though he wanted that record badly, Stu dropped his receiving worries and played a great ground game. Grosscup didn't have much of a chance for his aerialsg he was mobbed every time he faded back. For the Aggies it was an admirable effortg and for the Utes, though Vaughan lost his record, theft? were two of their prizes intact at the final gun.
