Show Sportscape Mustangs Edge Wasatch SPORTS Sorry About That Sir! Oil New Years Day the tulu burned long and bright and a lot of excitement around the country. The top teams in the country were out to attend' to the business of determining the national champ and it was a shame Ohio State had to sit out the proceedings. Arkansas opened the action by blowing any claim they might Archie Mannhave had to No. 1 when they lost to Ole Miss Rebs' was the difference as the he QB, passed for 201 yards ing, and one TD in the first half. He also scored a TD on a run. He had another TD pass called back, but the Rebs got a field goal from Clyce Ilinton to Sugar Bowl record salvage that drive. Bo Bowen had opened the scoring with a G sprint through the Arkansas defense. The Hogs started coining luck with 2 second period TDs, but their rally fell short in the closing minutes of the game when Chuck Dicus fumbled at the Relicl 20 yard line. Bruce Max- well, the Arkansas FB, was outstanding in defeat as he picked up 108 yards in H rushes and caught 9 passes for 137 yards. Bill Montgomery threw for 338 yards, Dicus getting 171 of those on 6 catches, but the Ole Miss defense had it in the clutch and the Razurhacks found out they couldn't catch the Relis. Meanwhile in Dallas, Texas was proving their worth as the nation's No. 1 team. Big, bad Notre Dame came in town hoping to pound the smaller Loiighoms into the turf of the Cotton Bowl. Darrcll Royal had said that the Horns would have to go with what they did best and that meant running right at the Irish giants. The Irish were the 4th best rustling defense in the country, but Texas ground out 331 yards on the ground. Steve Worster pounded inside all day and finished with 155 yards in 20 carries although his two best runs were not really significant to the outcome of the game. Still it seems that nobody sees fit to pay any respect to the passing of one James (Slick) Mark Gecrliugs led the Dugway Mustangs to their eighth win of the season a&iiust a single loss when hejicored 30 points as the Mustangs downed Wasatch Academy 56-5January 1.

The two Headquarters teams resumed their chase for the intramural liaskctliall title Tuesday night after the two week layoff for the holidays. Both teams are locked in a struggle with the Civilians for the league lead. The Civilians unci HIIC No. 2 each had one loss prior to the break while HHC No. 1 had absorlied two defeats. The Headquarters outfits each picked up wins while the Civi- lians were idle, but the big game was Wednesday night as HHC No. 2 met the Civilians. Look for the results of that game elsewhere on this page. In Tuesday's opener HHC No. 1 overcame a hustling Officers Club 62-4Denny Kruse led the HQ attack with 23 points and Tony Vieira added 13. opened up a 10 point lead midway in the first half and the Officers never gut closer than 5 after that. It was a contrast in styles as HQ used a zone on defense and uncorked a potent fast break from lime to time, while the Officers played a tight man to man defense and tried to work a pattern offense. HHC No. l's zone kept the Officers outside for the most part and only Chuck Leppert found the range for double figures with 16; Meanwhile the HHC gang kept breaking men open with picks and screens to lieat the man to man. Actually the score could have lieen higher, but sometimes men open under the basket went unseen by the HHC guards. In the nightcap the Met team put up a strong liattle lefore succumbing to the height and liench of HHC No. 2 in the The game second half was' nip and tuck in the first half which ended with HHC holding a slim 2 point bulge. They broke the game open in the second half behind the inside scoring of Dennis Diuiii' (20) and the outside shooting of John Pleasant (18). Mike Little led the Mets with 16, followed closely by Mike Wolfe and Charley Hamilton with 12 apiece. Oh sure Texas ran 67 times and only passed 1 1 fines, but the running game averaged just a liair under 5 yards per rush while those passes averaged 9.7 yards per attempt. By comparison only two NFL QBs could come up with better than an eight yard average per pass. Street threw for 33 yards in the Horns' first TD drive and for 25 yards on their final drive, into Speyrer on fourth and two that saved cluding the the game. After what Street and Speyrer did to Oklahoma and Arkansas you'd think that people would leam. It is too late now livcause Street is gone and Texas is No. 1. The Rose Bowl had to lie the least exciting game of the as the teams combined for II punts, 2 missed field goals and day 4 failures to get a first down on fourth down plays. This might indicate a great defensive battle, but such is not really the case although both teams did play fairly well on defense. The statistics were produced more by the incptness of the offenses than by defensive brilliance. SC's Jimmy Jones passed letter than he had all year and TD pass to Bob Chandler who scored on a bril-lufired a d individual effort. Still Jones missed a couple of other good opportunities. On the other side Don Moorhcad did pretty well, especially when he threw to Jim Mandich. but he took the pipe when the Wolverines got down close. ' Most of the good plays on Ixith sides were the result of excellent individual efforts rather than gixid team play. Perhaps lxilh teams were burned out as a result of their final regular season games and couldn't regain a sharp edge due to the holiday layoff, although the same situation didn't seem to stymie Texas. Penn State DOES PLAY DEFENSE. If you dim't believe me ask Terry McMillan. The Nittany Lions held him to 4 of 17 passes for just 73 yards and intercepted him 5 times. Eventually he was replaced by Chuck Roper who threw 2 completions and 2 interceptions in 9 tries as Penn State set a new Orange Bowl record for pass pilfering. They did gain 117 yards on the 6 passes they completed, but State picked up 145 yards ret urn ing the interceptions. Missouri ran well against State, especially in their own territory, but slowed down quite a bit when they got to the Lion 25 or so. Two Tiger fumbles didn't help their 1 lead-quarte- rs cause any cither, especially the one State turned into the winpass from Chuck Burk-haning TD. The score came on a (he can't do anything well except win) to Lydcll Mitchell. Senior Jon Staggers was easily Missouri's liest and perhaps the lest individual on the field. He led the Tigers with 09 yards in f) carries and run wild on punt returns. His mad dashes and the interception returns plus Missouri constant threats to the State goal line kept what was actually a defensive battle from liccomiug boring. Penn State finished the game with 22 straight wins and a 30 game unleaten streak. Burkhart finished his career with the enviable record of never having lost a game he started, either in high school or college. Not bad. (JMH) 28-ya- rt 56-- ?2 .

Both the Haorhacks and the Irish showed plenty of class and they have nothing to lie ashamed of. The Minnesota Vikings certainly hail their own way in the NFL championship name. As for the AFL. well it looks like neither leam was too anxious to meet the Vikings in the Super Bowl, as Kansas City fumbled their way to the AFL championship. Joe Kapp. Minnesota's fine quarterback, might have made of the AFL when he refused to accept a trophy as the Vikings' Most Valuable Player. In explaining to newsmen Kapp said, "There is no mot valuable Viking. There are 40 valuable Vikings." This nationwide sports gambling investigation should blossom into the largest in the history of sports in the United States. Subpoenas are suppose! y lieing drawji up for leading sports figures in baseball, basketball, football and liorse racing. BC, of course, has already jumped the gun in announcing that football figures Joe Nainath (Jets), Bill Mimsoii (Lions), and Iav Dawson iChicfs), aiming others, would lie subpoenaed to appear liefore the grand jury investigating the nationwide sports gambling syndicate. Professional football commissioner Pet Rozelle said though the Justice Department told him that "no decision has liecn reached as to whether any professional athletes will be called liefore a grand jury." Nice going NBC! Huntley and Rriuklcy very rarely ever devote any of their newscast to any sports topic including World Series' games or championship games iu other sports. Yet, they were quick to broadcast the latest developments in a (what they called) sports scandal. David Briuklcy couldn't even name his source saying only il was "an unnamed federal official." You know maybe it is about time we (as a nation) got down to the heart of this gambling matter. First of all, lets .'

A big third quarter for the winners spelled the difference as the Mustangs held a 5 lead at the end of the first quarter and a 30-2advantage at halftime. But after a basket by Mark Geerl-ingwho led the Mustangs with 27 points made it 32-2the Miners tallied nine straight lead with points for a three minutes gone in the third quarter. Then after the Mustangs had tied it at 38 all the winners got seven straight points to make it 45-3- 8 and led at the end of the third quarter by a 47-4-2 margin. The Mustangs rallied in the opening minutes of the ' final quarter and only trailed 55-5- 3 but an offensive foul and a turnover gave the Miners a chance to pad their lead. The winners 63-5- 8-- 3 s, 5 34-3- 2 got their final ten points on free throws as the Mustangs had to foul iu an attempt to gel the ball. Bob Allison had six straight successful free throws and Bent Fields four iu the final minutes for Tintic. In addition to Gcerling's 27 points on six baskets and 15 of 20 from the free throw line the only other Mustang in double figures was Rory McCullough with II. Seven points by Kenny Vance, four by Mike Donnelly, Steve Brother's 3 and one each by Monte Rudd and Chauncey Kendall rounded out the losers scoring. The Mustangs were able to garner only 15 field goals and made good on 25 of 34 charity tosses. Brothers with 10 and Gecrliugs and Donnelly, with 8 apiece led the Mustangs in rebounding. The Dugway JV won their third game in the last four with a convincing 55-2- 5 win over the 'two-faced- of all underground 'industries' such as extortion, prostitution, and drugs. Just think what legalized gambling would mean in dollar and cents to our economy, not to mention the effect it would have on other underground operations. Is gambling immoral? I'll agree that players involved in no sports shouldn't lie betting on games they participate in one should ever be in a position where he could shave points or throw a game. But what is wrong with an NBA star lictting on the Mets to win the pennant? Each of us gamble in different ways daily. Gambling is part of life. Il isn't supposed to Ik a dirty game or immoral. If that is the case today, well, we the people made it that way. Many of us aren't too proud of the situation as it stands right now, right? So let's do something almut it! It is estimated that this syndicate now under investigation has somewhere around a $1(X),(KK) a May business.

'1 The DESERET SAMPLER, Fri, January 9, 1970 Hoop Hotline KSL and KUTV sports departments really blew it this week. Their respective sportscasters, in an effort to fill up the Salt York Knicks Palace next Monday night for the Phoenix Suns-Negame, made the mistake of comparing the Knicks to the Boston On top of that, they concluded that this year's Knicks squad has more stars than any Celtics' team in the history of the National Basket I mil Association. Now really who are they trying to kid? New York is definitely a great team but this team hasn't won a championship yet, never mind II out of the last 13. One sportscastcr even went so far as to say that when the Celtics were winning all those titles, it was because a superstar, namely Bill Russell, dominated the league. He continued that the NBA has changed now and every team has got its superstar, hut the Knicks have five or six of them. Ix--t me ask you. Who would you choose as the most talented team?
