Huskies Squeeze Out Victory Over Utah, rs SEATTLE, Sept. 18.-Washington kept the air full of passes today but only one had the touchdown stamp and the high ly-favored Huskies had to depend on Bobby Dunn’s CONVEX sion to squeeze out a 7–6 victory over the Redskins of Utah. The Utes provided the thrill of the day for an estimated U.s. 600 fans when Herb Nakken broke away on a 51-yard touch down run in the third period, stiff-arming the only Washing ton man to get within tackling range. The conversion attempt by Lou Mele was low and wide. Utah -------0 Q-6 WASHINGTON 7 O %
