Football

Redskins styled football—fall 1955—with an architecture all its own. Redskins...the varsity squad numbered fifty-three talented Sophomores who made up more than half the team...the fewer but well seasoned Juniors...plus the strong seniors, two of whom were picked for all-star games...there’s was the Skyline second...only because the Utes played fewer conference games...their’s was-the impressive 6 win—3 loss record, won at the expense of Missouri, Denver, Idaho and Colorado A & M When critics said no—impossible...they were the reason for a new attendance record; For the “Utes” wanted to see this team.

The coaching staff...five men who worked the varsity—four who trained the freshmen—nine men who directed the the machinery of Redskin teamwork forward. (1956 Utonian Yearbook, pg. 131)
