Show THE SIGNPOST Page 7 Northern Arizona Almost Upsets Weber State Ghost' Basketball coach Dick Motto refutes to give up Big Sky Conference trophy. Motta's Wildcats have taken it twice in two years, and he hopes wins over Gonzaga tonight and Idaho Saturday night will give Weber State the impetus it needs for its third conference title. Big Sky Battles Begin Tonite Coach Dick Motta is well aware of the tug-o-war that will take place this weekend in conference basketball action between Weber, Gonzaga and the University of Idaho. The Wildcats will tackle both teams at home in an attempt not only to extend their home court winning streak to 46 , but to gain a substantial lead in the Big Sky race. Game time is at 8 p.m. at the Weber Gym for both events. Weber Frosh will go against Western Wyoming and Southern Idaho junior colleges in the preliminaries.For a rebuilding year, the Wildcats are popping at a pretty respectable clip. Weber has the best over-all season record of the three schools with 15 wins and 3 loses. Gonzaga, co-champions with Weber in 1966, are the most potent contenders in the Big Sky race. Their most impressive win in conference competition was against Montana State on Montana's own court. The Zags have, twice all-conference player, Gary Lech-man to give them the advantage over Weber on the boards. Lechman is scoring 22.9 points per game and ranks among the nation's top 30 players in both scoring and rebounding. He ranks second only to the great LewAlcindor of UCLA in field goal percentage. Weber is not to be over looked on the boards nor in the point columns. Currently the Cats are rated number 10 in both categories among all American colleges and universities.

Nolan Archibald has taken over the scoring lead with 15.9 points per game. Nolan, a home townboy, has scored 287 points and is a major factor in the run-jump-fast break-success story of the 1967 basketball team. Weber's three, piston footed guards Greg Harrop, Wes Jessup and Monte VreNon, have spirited the Wildcats with their spped and accuracy from the outside. The trio has accounted for more than half of the 1579 points Weber has scored this year. The Idaho Vandals have never beaten Weber State in basketball, but this year could be a different story.

The Vandals have been the team to watch this year in conference play. They can be the spoilers as can be seen by their win over Gonzaga and therefore be the deciding factor in who will win the conference championship. Weber's next game will be on the road against arch-rival Idaho State. The Bengal contest rates second only to the Gonzaga game year in and year out as far as the Wildcats are concerned. The Cats trimmed Idaho State in Ogden earlier in the season by 99-84. A loss to the Bengals at Pocatello, no matter what happens tonight and Saturday, could kill Weber's championship hopes. cv7 sweeps WUinto ofspeed and spectacle! 1 !MVr v. 1 , .i.'S:i:K4ii'fe S Xt&Mitiv., METRO-GOLDWYN -MAYER PSESEKIS FRANKENHEtMER FILM (Smsumdl IPousz M'OMAM) WORLD person or by mail your ZCMI charge - Salt The Weber State Wildcats held off a late surge by a stubborn Northern Arizona team to gain a 78-76 victory in the Wildcat gymnasium last Saturday.

The Lumberjacks closed the score to 74-72 late in the game, but Wes Jessup stepped to the foul line and threw in two points to make the score 76-72. Northern Arizona came right down the floor with less than a minute to play and scored, but fouled Jessup again. Jessup stepped to the line and sunk the Lumberjacks with two more foul shots.
