"We were very pleased by some aspects of our performance," Coach Dick Gwinn commented about last week's 25-13 conference win over Northern Arizona. "But to really compete against a team the caliber of Fullerton, we have to get a more consistent performance from everyone." Cal-Fullerton is a big, well-coached ball club that brings a 2-0 record into this week's clash. The awesome Titan offense has rolled up nearly 800 yards in the first two outings. Sparkplug of the Fullerton attack is little Dwayne Sims, a 5-8, 165-pound tailback. In two games Sims has scampered for 340 yards and two touchdowns. His scoring plays came on runs of 78 and 80 yards. Blasting the holes up front to make those long runs possible are a pair of mammoth tackles, Paul Gardikas, 6-5, 250 pounds, and Al Millender, 6-4, 260.- Two top quarterbacks, Tom Madigan and Glen Cardarelli, are fighting for a starting position. Three top receivers in Terry Lindsey, Grady Richardson, and Mike Churchward provide excellent targets for a passing attack that has thrown three touchdowns in the first two games. Defensively, the Titans boast a big strong line and a speedy secondary that Coach Gwinn feels is equal to any his team may run up against this year. The Wildcats had moments of WEBER STATE quarterback Blaine Church (14) is expected to be calling signals for the Wildcats tomorrow night against Cal State-Fullerton. Church, who was converted from tight end to the QB spot in spring ball, has helped guide the 'Cats to a 1-1 mark thus far this season. brilliance in their victory last Saturday, and Gwinn was pleased with many individual performances. "Brian Gladwell looked good, and we were very impressed with Jim Larson's performance," Gwinn beamed. "Blaine Church is improving every game and showed good leadership ability Saturday." The Cats, 1-1 on the season, anticipate making a few more changes in the offensive line after some extensive experimentation during last week's game. The performances of Ed Spann, Jerry Staley, Randv Gangwer, and Kim r Peterson drew special praise the coaching staff.

The other major concern of the coaches was the secondary, where the absence of senior safety Brad Hawkins is surely felt. It is still not known whether Hawkins will play this year. Physically, he may be able to play as early as this week; but if he appears in another game this year, his full year's eligibility will be used up. The defensive highlights of the game were the two blocked punts by Ken McEachern, one of which rolled through the end zone for a safety. "We had scouted Northern Arizona and noticed that their kicking game was weak," said Gwinn. "We had practiced that play all last week." Offensive back Brian Glad-well moved to the front of the Big Sky individual leaders with a sparkling 140-yard performance. Gladwell, a Bonneville High athlete, now has a 108-yard rushing average for the two games played. On the Weber State injury list, tight end Dave Wheeler missed much of the NAU games as a result of a very bad hip bruise he received when he was attempting a reception. Wheeler, who has caught three passses for 54 yards in the early season, will miss most contact work this week; but he is expected to see action against the Titans. Lineman Paul Poole, nursing a knee injury suffered last week while lifting weights, is nearly mended and should be ready for this week's game. Luther Parker, bothered by a pinched nerve, is not severely hampered and is expected to return to normal contact work this week.
