Football Development in Rocky Mountain Regions
Enver Colorado October 8 1925 football in the Rocky Mountain region shows rising stadiums and growing interest. Denver University nears 81000 seat amphitheater and Colorado Boulder hosts a 26000 seat stadium as centers plan more venues. Altitude poses perils for some teams but Nebraska and Carlisle stories suggest altitude may not hinder top squads. High schools lag in coaching, so college coaches begin from the ground up, with notable figures Fred Dawson improving Denver and Ike Armstrong, Lone Star Dietz, and Harry Hughes cited as rivals to Boulder.
