teams have tangled with the Ft Collins aggregation which was coached during this period by Harry Hughes now director of athletics Very few times did the Coloradoans get in Utah territory and at no

result the time ran out on them as they were engineering their drive for a third touchdown and the 25600 homecoming Denver fans threatened a sigh of relief as the gun stopped the Utah dnve that the fast-weakening Pioneers apparently couldn't It was a brilliant offensive duel and a great show for the loyal Denver fans but it was a sad defeat for the Indians who left the field and reached the

score one laying the leather on the Cougar 27 and the other giving the Buffs first down on the four from where Roland Gregory lunged over for the six points Jim Smith booted the point The Cougar line was brilliant all afternoon limiting the vaunted Buffalo ground attack to a total gain of 105 yards while the BYU halfbacks were darting through gaping holes in the Colorado line for a scrimmage gain of 282 yards Colorado's beautiful passing combination of Reilly to Zisch somewhat evened up the net yardage by accumulating 157 yarda through the air to give the Buffa a total yardage figure of 262 as compared to total of 387 Few Fumbles In contrast to their previous encounters where the Jittery Cougars were handling the oval as though it were a hot potato BYU never lost the ball on fumbles during the afternoon dropping the bail only twice and recovering it each time To add insult to injury the heads-up Provo lads pounded on two of Colorado's three fumbles both of them coming when if appeared that the Buffs were on the march to the end-cone velvet A long pass from Lyle Kofler to Rex Olsen set the stage for Brigham touchdown the pass and run being good for 47 yards oneof the longest plays

payoff dirt just 15 yards from the heavy grass and the sticky-fingered end wasted no time getting into it for the first six points of the game Colorado Drirs Colorado came right back with a 70-yard goalward drive of their own which began right after the kickoff which Gregory lugged back to the Buff 30-yard line Reilly pitched one to Rex Wagner ho earned a first down on the Colorado 43 then the same slingshot-armed passer laid one in the fingertips of Zisch who outjumped two Cougar defenders and picked his way to 27 Reilly tried the line threw a short incomplete pass then hit Zisch again

Roller had punted to Gregory down on the Colorado 17 the Buffs sent Gregory through the line for seven yards and then Jimmv Price galloped around left end for 47 yards and a lirst down on the Cougar
