Show Page 615, Lakeside Review, November 6. 1980 'Cats and Aggies Set For Annual Contest Former Layton e interlude Its a brief for both the Cats and the Aggies on non-leagu- Stars Shine Saturday afternoon at Wildcat Stadium and both teams are ready. Both teams are even at 4 in their 4-- respective seasons. The Aggies currently share a piece of the PCAA leadership with Long Beach State at while Weber State is struggling at in the Big Sky. The Ags have always had success At SUSC 3-- 0 CEDAR CITY An even half dozen Southern Utah State College football players are graduates of Layton High School, and the former Lancers are playing a big part in the Thunderbird drive for a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship. Whoever drew up this years schedule should have written a mystery novel, Jack Bishop, SUSCs third year coach, says. We are going to be kept in suspense until the very end. There are several very key games that come in the last three weeks. All six of the former Layton players have been important to the Thunderbird success to date. Five of the six are at least semiregular starters. Four Lancers play defense and three of them linebacker Wayne Kittrell, comerback Trace are and cornerback Monte Green starters. The fourth, defensive back Sam Gallegos, has seen considerable action this season as the Thunderbirds have rolled to a 1 RMAC record (5-- 2 in all games). Offensively, Curtis Page is a starting running back, and Rick Snow alternates as a wide receiver. And just for good measure, the equipment manager this season is David Arciaga, a 1976 graduate of Layton High. With the exception of Snow, who is a sophomore, all of the former Layton players are juniors. Theres no other high school in the state which has contributed as much starting talent to our team as has Layton," Bishop says. If it werent for the contributions of these players, Im reasonably sure we wouldnt be where we are now. SUSC is among the four teams which still have a are in a shot at the RMAC title. Currently, the ' second place tie with a 1 record. They face a showdown with league leading University of Southern Colorado November 8 in Cedar City at SUSCs homecoming game. SUSC is a charter member of the reorganized RMAC. The conference includes colleges in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. It is one of the most active college division leagues in the nation. The 10 conference schools along with a handful of inadvance to national comdependent colleges petition through the NAIAs District Seven. The NAIA is a federation of college (much like the athletic competition NCAA) which coordinates among college division schools. Over 420 NAIA colleges compete for national football recognition. Talent among the NAIA schools is top flight. Many players in the NFL come from NAIA schools; including Chicagos Walter Payton. Tlie RMAC has several players now on professional rosters, including Leonard Walterscheid, former split receiver and defensive back for SUSC who is now a defensive back and return specialist for the Chicago Bears. We hope that Layton will keep sending some of its football talent our way, Bishop says. The players we have this year have made major contributions to our program. Already we are looking forward to a strong program next season. 4-- FORMER LAYTON HIGH School football players now with Southern Utah State College: Front row (left to right) Wayne Kittrell, Trace Burningham, 3 in Ogden (four wins in four games) but all those wins have come on odd years (1973, 75, 77, 79) and this is the first even year the two rivals have met in Ogden . . .

Magic Murphy is 23 yards away Bob Wicks from tying third-plac- e (1776); hes 45 yards away from number two Mike OShea (1798) and hes 53 yards away from the career leader: Tom Forzani (132 catches, 1806 yards) . . . prior to the Pacific catches game Saturday, USUs running game had not been a consistently productive element in the offense; 110 yards a game isnt much, But, the 215 yards on the ground against the Tigers was a mark for this year, although that is dampened by the apparent loss for the year of tailback Maurice Turner to a recurring ankle injury. high-wat- er 3-- 5-- The Layton players: A physical education major Trace Burningham and business minor.
