Show The DESERET SAMPLER, Fri., Dec. 12, 1969 Dugway Downs U Tech Sportscape The Post Basketliall Team 5 in a defeated Utah Tech game at the Post Gym Monday 'HOI Horns-Hogs-Hairrai- 78-3- STOVE .CORNER night. Take Care Rocket The game was tight in the first half as laitli teams were the victims of sloppy passing and cold shooting. Cuming out for the second half, the tnxips had a 29-1-9 advantage and they stxm pulled away with gixxl relxnmd-in- g and a blistering Tile troops the There could have been no better contest to close out college football's first century tlian last Saturdays bit shootout between Texas and Arkansas. Texas won a bitter struggle between two of the liest colever seen. Tlie hitting was ferocious and lege fixitball teams there were several great individual performances that stood out in the midst of the spectacular efforts of Ixith teams. Certainly tlie finest individual effort on the field came from Arkansass fine middle linebacker. Cliff Powell. Powell turned iu an effort reminiscent of the work done by Tommy Nobis a few years ago. lie was in on nearly every running play Texas tried and even caused a fumble by Cart ton Speyrer on a completed pass. It's a shame to see a fine effort like Powells spoiled by defeat, but when a team can turn the Isall over six times on interceptions and fumbles, fall 1 1 points behind, and then come hack to win; especially against a team that is their arch-rivand the second or third liest team in the country, that team deserves all the credit and respect iu the world. Texas rightfully will lx voted the national championship and will receive the McArthur Bowl. Any one who says they don't deserve it either didn't see the game Saturday or suffers from the constricting bonds of prejudice. Perhaps Texas' defense seems vulnerable to the pass, but one must remcmlicr that Ixith Bill Mixitgomery and Chuck Di-care of calibre and 1'exas made two interceptions at crucial points during the game. Tlie first, liy Danny Lester, came at the Texas goal line und prevented a touchdown. h Tlie second, by Tom Cainpliell, stopped Arkansas' drive to pull the game out of the fire. The Arkansas miming game was stymied through most of the game, with only Bill Burnett, an excellent lull carrier, sulviug the Texas defense for an occasional short burst. No one individual stood out for the Texas defense al-mugh 1 felt it was the work of the three linebackers, Clenn Halscll, Scott Henderson, and Mike Campbell, that held the defense together. They filled holes to shut off the running game and helped put a good rush on Montgomery when they were culled on to blitz. Meanwhile the Texas offense was wearing down the Razor-back- s defense with the incesseut pounding of their fine runners, especially Steve NYurster. Admittedly the Hogs did a fine job on defense, lmt when the Homs needed a big play they came up with it. Tlie first was Jim Street's brilliant individual effort for the Homs first toudidown. Texas then went for two (a good move by Darrell Royal) and Street ran the option inside for two big points. Tlie second was the play of the year fourth down pass from Street to senior tight end Randy Peschel which netted forty yards and set up the tieing touchdown. Happy Feller, a young man alxmt whom many laid puns have lieen made, calm- l'e fast-brea- k. The Kids Know Where Its At It is certainly great to see all those youngsters out playsoccer every Saturday morning. ing I shudder when I read headlines highlighting riots, fights and other disorders involving soccer matches. It almost seems that is the only time the game gets any decent space in the press. While many Americans still may not recognize it, the people south of the border have the outstanding international sports event and the one true World Series when they stage the World Cup soccer matches. The competition which will lie held late next spring in Mexico will undoubtablv cause the jamming of many hotels and cause many a traffic jam. Dont expect to hear about the World Cup troops unless there is a ruckus between some avid hooters or boosters. Soccer is the most popular team sport on earth hut how sports' fan even know how the game is many of you played. The game produces more continuous and violent action Ixith on the field and among the and more torrid feeling than any other sport. The problem is that some spectators spectators cannot help feeling and reacting to the constant tension that prevails on the field. With few exceptions there are unsportsmanlike incidents at many athletic events. No one likes them and they are to lie deplored. But I question if soccer is the main cause for arising the beast in mankind. This game is exciting, and troops, you will see it grows by leaps and bounds in the States, mark my taller Technicians consistently, allowing them only one shot most of the time and coiitnilliug the offensive Ixiards to the point that they were able, at one point, to put up six shots in one tlinist down the court. Denny Kruse lead the team with 23 points, followed by Lloyd Kelly with 17, George Douglass with 11, and Vic Dean with 10. ...

I have to feel sorry for Penn State liecause they just can't seem to get the recognition they deserve. Any team that can go through any major college schedule and a lxiwl game without a. loss or a tie has achieved a truly high degree of success.

The Oakland Athletics strengthened their pennant chauces with the acquisition of outfielder Felipe Alou and pitchers A1 Downing, Jim Mudcat Grant and relief artist Diego Segni. The Mets could have picked up the key to another flag when they obtained Joy Foy. Foy is a New York lxiy with unlimited potential salted with no desire, but playing back on the old block could motivate Joe to superstar status. Jim Nash is certainly a shot in the arm to Atlanta and Johnny Collision will he a big hit with the Bleacher bums in Cub land, but Richie Allen has to be the question mark of the year. St. Louis blew it in my opinion when they picked up the Philly badboy. The Cards had a lot going for them but they panicked and now they are playing with a loaded deck. I wish St. Louis the best Maloney, Rich and Denny could very Blues be the long after the hockey pucks have singing possibly been put on ice for the summer.
