KSUU’s Friday Journal is a weekly radio news and feature magazine produced by Power 91 News. In it’s inaugural program, Friday Journal focuses on the September 3 reunion of SUU and Dixie State’s football teams–the first meeting in nearly 47 years. The program explores the storied gridiron rivalry between Southern Utah’s two institutions of higher learning.
We thank Dr. Steve Lunt, not only for his comments, but for valuable information on the records of SUU v. Dixie games. We also thank Mr. and Mrs. Dixie and Anne Leavitt for sharing their experiences, and Mrs. Leavitt, whose book Southern Utah University: A Heritage History (SUU Press, 1997) also proved helpful.
(The photos above are both from Mrs. Leavitt’s book. Prominent in the background is the Braithwaite building. The Branch Agricultural College football field is now occupied by the Dixie Leavitt Business Building and the Business Quad–placing Mr. Leavitt in this photograph, very near where an impressive building would one day stand bearing his name. Spectator stands were along the hillside to the east.)
