  Utah DEFEATED BY CARLISLE Indians, Although Handicapped by a SnOw-COvered Gridiron, Outclass Their Opponents SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 19-On a field covered with several inches of snow Carlisle defeated Utah University by a score Of % to in two twenty minute halves. The gridiron was slip perry, making it difficult for the Indians TO put their fast playing into effect, and this probably held the score down considerably. Utah was completely outclassed. A two-yard and a one yard gain were all the home team could do when the ball was in its possession. After two downs with no gain Bennion would kick the ball out of danger. The Indians worked the wing shift play very successfully and had no trouble whatever in making their distance. They were never held for downs. Shell don’s eighty-yard run after receiving the kick-off, his course being through the entire Utah team before being downed, was the feature Of the game. Johnson tried once for place kick from the field. but the ball was fumbled. Both teams flfnbled considerably on account Of the slippery ball, but 1t did not prove costly.
