Most Promising Newcomers: Dick Parque, QB; Dave Anderson, T. Capsule Summary: A new coach will rely on many new faces to lay the foundation for strong- er teams at BYU. Strength appears to be at end and halfback, with tackle and center thin. There's good team speed, but lack of depth at most positions. Some fine sophs and transfers could be big help. 1956 Schedule Sept. 15 Wichita University at Wichita (N) Sept. 22 Fresno State (N) Sept. 29 Colorado A&M at Fort Collins (N) Oct, 6 Utah University (N) Oct. 20 Montana University at Missoula Oct. 27 Utah State at Logan Nov. 3 New Mexico University Nov, 10 Denver University at Denver Nov. 17 Wyoming University Nov. 24 AIR FORCE ACADEMY AT DENVER
