BLVD. (upstairs) - V ' ' ..... - S I ' I I R' mmmw Farr Lower Prices Moses lead the way to the promised land, while Washington crossed the line to get the battle under way. Last Saturday, the Weber Wildcat football team fell to the hands of the fine San Diege State offense. The game was played at San Diego, final score, 58 to 12. In an interview with coach Sark Aralanian, he explained that he felt the boys played a "pretty good game." However, their secondary effort was somewhat less than they have proven it could be. San Diego has a fast, powerful team. Coach Arslanian beleives that the game was lost to the fine passing ability of the Axtecs. Their (the Aztecs) rushing yardage was held to a minimum by the Wildcat line. Coach Arslanian is confident that this weeks loss will have no effect on the future success of the team. When asked about this, he said 'We try to forget about our losses the less said, the better." He went on to say rRight now we are gtting ready, and looking forward to the game with the University of Motana." Weber has some fine material, this year, with three veterans-Lee White, Jim Schmedding, and Steve Hanrahan contemplating professional bids, offered them, upon graduation. The Wildcat team has proven, in the past, to be the kind of team to snap back and show the fans just what kind of stuff that they are made of. This Saturday evening, we can expect to see some fine football. The team is up and ready for this game, and will be in there fighting for one thing a victory. Let's all come out to the game, at Weber stadium, 8:00 p.m. There will be an after game dance immediately following the game. It will be held in the Union Building. DIAMOND RINGS O CAPRI 2342 Wash. Blvd. 3 Doors North of New Z.C.M.I. Weber State's green and inexperienced football team aged considerable in the 29-28 come-from -behind win over Northern Arizona. The great comeback win did much good for th Weber State club. Trailing 21-8 at halttime, the coaches made a few adjustments and then let the team work out their first half problems. Coach Sark Arslanian said that desire" made the difference in the second half. "Our players had too much pride to show that they were not a good football team. They felt so terrible at halftime, they didn't need to be told about it," said Arslanian. ' 'I was vry proud of the way they came back and scored three touchdowns in the third quarter to gain the victory," Coach Sark commented. After a thorough look at game films, the coaches all agreed that Ogden Fight Fiasco The Don Frllmer-Ted Wright fight held at Weber State College was described Sunday as a "financial Fiasco-' by the sponsoring Ogden Lions CluL. Max E. Kosof, boxing committee chairman and promoter, said only 638 persons paid a total of $4,368 which resulted in a $2, 200 loss for the club. Fullmer, of West Jordan, beat Wri9ht of Detroit, Mich, in a 10-round unanimous decision Fri. "We were counting on a $2o,000 gate to help pay for a $14,000 organ for the college's fine arts center, but we'll have to dip into our treasurey just to pay for the expenses," said Kosof. He said major reasons for the loss were former unfortunate boxing shows, conflicting athletic acitivites and poor scheduling by FROM $145 7 mi the first half problem was not pulling together." Bad mistake; which usually plague inexperienced players, was wuite evident, enced players, was quite evident. All of the above explanation, however, cannot distract from a team. The Wildcats were lucky to slip by the Lumberjacks, why outplayed them badly in the first half. This is Coach Andy Mac-Donald's finest team at Northern Arizona and the Axers shouldn't lose manv eames this fall. Coach Sark and staff must come up with some answers if they hope to combat successfuUy the surging University of Montana Grizzlies. The biggest item that has the Weber team and coaches mumbling about is the breakdown of the defensive secondary against San Diego State last Sat urday night in San Diego when the Aztecs "bombed" the Cats for six touchdown passes and 449 yards by air. the Utah State Athletic Commission."I blame the Commission fo sanctioning a fight in West Jordan just a week prior to our own f;ght, when they knew a full two momiis in advance of eur date," he said. Fullmer fought in Bozeman. Mont, a month prior to the Wrighi bout and had attracted a crowd of more than 6,000 people. "Ogden used to be a good fight town," Kosof said, and I think it can be again." The Ogden promoter said if more people hadn't "pre-judged" the fight, a larger crowd would have attended. A challenge will be issued to the winner of the ameal Griffith-Nino Bevenudi fight Thursday i New York City to fight a title match in Utah next summer," said Kosof, who will promote the fight.
