Show Clearfield Courier, December 5, 1979 Royals ffiiinidliiirDgj ftouglh) tiesfts By Bliss Fullmer Roy committed 35 turnovers in at Olympus a comedy-of-error- s last week on the road. The Royals were ahead by two after one quarter of play, then the Titans on them employed a zone-pres- s and Roy came unglued. Final for Olympus. score was The Titans hit 36 of 59 shots from the field for a fantastic 61 per cent, behind the shooting of e nominee Wright, their from the guard line in Coach Ted Smiths words, He was Mr. Automatic, anytime he got within 20 feet. Wright canned 15 field goals and made his only attempt from the four line to lead all scorers with 31 points. He was the only Titan in double figures. The Titans were successful on 12 of 13 from the charity stripe. In a 84-4- 7 all-stat- Dennis Adams and Rylan 14-1- ppe-seasoi- ro Holiday Bowl game played at home, the Royals fell behind the Tigers in the second quarter and trailed all the way to a 12 point defeat. Ogdens heighth and control of the boards, coupled with Roys turnover problems and inability to capitalize on key baskets in the fourth quarter, spelled the difference in the games outcome. Otis Dockery, who is 63 tall, combined with his 66Little" brother, and Dave Hoggan, who is 65 to the Royals and the Tigers committed five fewer turnovers. Ogden was also more accurate from the field, with 27 of 61 shots for 44 per cent. The Royals put the ball up 59 times, but hit on only 21 for 35.6 per cent. Ogden's Otis Dockery made ten field goals and a foul pitch to claim the scoring victory over Roys Rylan Wedemeier, who had four field goals and 12 of 16 from the line. Hoggan added 17 and Greg Dockery ten points to the Ogden score. Bert Rich hit on five field goals and 2 for 2 from the stripe for 12 points, and Dennis Adams made five baskets for ten points. Roy led by two in the first eight minutes, but trailed by seven at halftime. The Tigers were still ahead by nine at the three-quartpoint, when Roy made its charge. The Royals made some key steals, but couldnt capitalize on them to get back in the game, and Ogden won, going away. Coach Ted Smith admitted Olympus bested the Royal Juniors by 25 points in a preliminary battle. y Dim should be easy for BVU, maybe By Bliss Fullmer Cougar fans booed, during the Utah game, when it was announced that Indiana was extended an invitation to the Holiday Bowl, to be played, Saturday, December 22nd in San Diego. The invitation was given to the Hoosiers, just prior to their loss to the Boiler Makers of Purdue, and Indiana was dropped from the list. nations In an interview attheB.Y.U.-Sa- n Diego game, one of the Holiday Bowl officials told their side of the dilemma. He explained that many of the top teams had been plucked off for the other bowls, and that they were afraid to let Indiana get out of their grasp. The Fiesta Bowl in Arizona, picked up eleventh-ranke- d Pittsburg, and had its sights set on Southern California, Alabama and Brigham Young, should any of them lose their last game. B. Y.U., with its win over San Diego claimed the WAC championship and was obligated to play in the Holiday Bowl. Southern California, beat U.C.L.A. and won the right to play in the Rose Bowl. Alabama, by virture of its win over Auburn, went to the Sugar Bowl. In desperation, The Fiesta Bowl Committee picked up Arizona University, after its win over Arizona State. Its too bad there cant be a trade-of- f between the Fiesta and Holiday Bowl people. A contest between BYU and Pittsburg and Arizona and Indiana might be more realistic. There was a rumor on the Y campus that the team might allow San Diego to upset the Cougars, so that they could go to the Fiesta Bowl. It was no secret that the team would have preferred to play Pitt. But the Cougars had too many other things going for them. They wanted to finish the season, undefeated, and it meant the W.A.C. championship. The temptation to Blow the game with the Aztecs, was there, but Coach Edwards and his footballers have character and good horse sense, and put on a fantastic football exhibition on national T.V. Meanwhile, back at the campus, there are still som grumblings about the "Inferior" team the Cougars must face just before the holiday festivities begin. A lot of people have no doubt that the Cougars will eat the Hoosiers alive, but some of the thinking people aren't so sure. Coach Lavell Edw ards has a lot of respect for Indiana. He knows that the Big Ten Conference is one of the best in college football. So what if Indiana did lose four games this season. Who were their losses to? They lost close games to Michigan, and Purdue, and were blown off the field by Ohio State, who is Rose They were defeated by Colorado in a big s record could be very upset. Their 4 deceiving, so dont get too uppity, Brigham Young. You just may have to eat crow, should the Hoosiers shock you with an upset. B.Y.U. has a potential offensive attack, with a defensive line that has made believers out of a lot of teams, this year. Quarterback, Marc Wilson can deliver the ball on target, and those junior-colleg- e tailbacks have kept the opposition honest. Wilson throws to a lot of receivers, and thats what makes B.Y.U. hard to defend against. The real hero of the team has to be the Offensive Coordinator, Doug Scovil, who calls most of the plays. The Cougars are rated in the top ten for their first time ever, and could go higher, or they could take Indiana too lightly, and get the tar kicked out of them. Well find out on December 47-4- 1, Weidmeier shared scoring honors for the Royals with 13 points each. The Royals cast off 46 times from the field and hit 19 for 41 per cent. They shot a dismal 9 of 22 from the foul line for another 41 per cent. 2 after the first Roy led eight minutes, but Olympus shifted into high gear, and scored 23, 20 and 29 in the next three quarters of play. Turnovers killed the Royals. They coughed up the ball 35 times, and with the Titan 61 per cent accuracy, thats a surrender of 43 points; They lost by 37 counters. Olympus lost the ball eleven times on turnovers, and with Roys 41 per-ceshooting, of nine thats a counter-attac- k the turnovers Take away points. from both sides, with the points the teams were able to realize from miscues, and you have Olympus winning by three points. Oly J.V. 81 Roy J.IV. 66 Brad McCaulley canned seven field goals and hit 2 for 2 from the line for 16 points, while teammates Kirkwood and Hadley each contributed a dozen points, but Ogden Sun Times, December 5, 1979 Ben Lomond Beacon, December 6, 1 979 56 top-twen- that his passing game was horrible.

Weber State did get in the winning column however last weekend, with a convincing 9 victory over another rival, Utah. Coach Neil McCarthy said his Wildcats played near their potential in the Saturday night contest, so the contest really sees no favorite, at least some would like to think so. Rod Tueller, beginning his first year as head coach of the Aggies, helped Utah State keep intact its remarkable streak of home opening victories by downing the Wildcats. The cool and persistent Aggies, who have won 11 straight home openers and tasted defeat only twice in 21 years while opening at home, relied on its players in the overtime session to eliminate any hopes Weber had of winning its second straight affair in Logan. The Utah State catalysts juniors Brian Jackson and Keith Hood, and seniors Dean Hunger and Rich McElrath each called upon their experience to pressure situations to elevate the Aggies to high-spee- d, g, game into overtime. Once the extra five minute session began, Jackson, Hunger, and McElrath took charge.
