Show nov. 3, 1972 signpost page 9 T h S r Tm 6 --Kill rt.' rild 11 14 r Weber State takes on the role of giant killer this weekend when they entertain the league-leading Idaho State Bengals on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The Bengals currently are perched atop the Big Sky grid standings with a perfect 3-0 mark. The ISU squad captured the lead with a come-from-behind 20-16 win over Montana State last week. Montana State now finds themselves a notch behind the Bengals at 4-1 in league play, with Montana right behind in third place at 3-1. Also at stake in Saturday's WSC-ISU encounter is the Bell Trophy, a revolving symbol of football supremacy between Weber and Idaho State. Weber currently possesses the trophy, which is an authentic railroad bell symbolizing the link between the railroad towns of the two schools. Last year, the Wildcats traveled to Pocatello and came home with a 28-21 victory. The 'Cats rolled up 471 yards in total offense against the Bengals, including 131 yards rushing by fullback Terry Bulych. A stingy Weber defensive unit held Idaho State to just 44 yards rushing for the game. The Wildcats have a long list of questionable performers for the ISU battle. Defensive end Gordon Baxter, split end Jerry Bond, and defensive backMarzell Fairman sat out last week's win over Nevada-Las Vegas; and it is still unknown if this trio will be fully mended by Saturday. Linebacker Jonnie Knoble is also doubtful for the ISU contest. Knoble suffered an injury during the second half of the UNLV game, and he will not be able to go full speed during this week's practice sessions. Saturday's battle marks the final Big Sky war for the Wildcats this season.

The race will begin at 11 a.m. and will be run over a five mile course around Utah State University's golf course. The schools competing at the meet besides Weber include Idaho State University, the College of Eastern Utah and Utah State University. Weber State is favored to win the team title in this meet, but Idaho State will be a close competitor. In last week's meet, the 'Cats totaled 39 points in scoring an 11-point upset over Idaho State University in the Bengal's own invitational meet. This win was not only Weber State's first victory ever over Idaho State in cross country, but also gave Weber State College its first cross country trophy ever. Yet, all this was accomplished without the help of Weber State's premier runner, Al Yard-ley, who was forced to quit half-way through last week's race due to a severe side ache. Yardley shouldn't be troubled by anything this race and should win it, but first he must outdistance teammate Jerry Miller and Idaho State's Vance Capell who may offer strong opposition. Weber's constantly improving Dan Dean, who displays the potential for becoming a sub- four minute miler could possibly challenge for first place in the race as he is just now getting into tip-top shape. Dan Walker and Larry Thor-derson are other fine Weber thin-clads who should place well in today's race. Walker is just now fully recovering from an injury he suffered at the first of the season, while Larry Thorderson (who holds the school steeplechase record) is finally using steeplechase strength during the cross country races to place well. Super-Freshman Lynn Strong and Dan Price who have each been one of Weber's top seven runners all season long, are now being challenged by another freshman, Scott Steele who has been plagued by injuries all season long. Adding to the 'Cats important team depth, are Gary Harris, Pat Bennett, Lynn Arave and Mike Hein. They will also run in the race today, but all have been suffering from injuries during the course of the season and have never ran up to their potential. This meet today will be a very important one as it will be the 'Cats final tuneup race race before the Big Sky Conference Meet to be held Nov. 11. Weber's cross country coach, Chick Hislop will use the results of this race to determine who the top seven runners will be and who will represent Weber State in the all-important conference race. rently at 2-3 in league play, and the 'Cats would like nothing more than to finish at 3-3 in the conference.However, Idaho State has their eye set on the Big Sky title; and if the Bengals can maintain their fine 5-2 pace for the remainder of the year, they would have a good shot at a possible post-season bowl bid. The Bengals will definitely "come to play" on Saturday, and Weber State will have to come up with a supreme effort in order to thwart the ISU pennant express. (f yl .
