Show Utah Must Make Shots From Foul Line to Win and third shots to the Cats. Most of Raymond's 13 points came after he brought the ball off the glass. A healthy Jeff Ockle coupled with strong performances per-formances from DeWitt Menyard and Lyndon MacKay should even things out in rebounding.

By Greg Fowler Staff Writer When the Redskins take to the hardwoods Friday night against BYU, they will have two basic objectives in their minds. The first will be to score more points than the 62 they got in Provo last week, the second will be to hold the Cougars to about the same or, better still, fewer tallies than the rise and shout men slipped through down south. The homecourt and friendly crowd along with whatever strategy stra-tegy Utah Coach Jack Gardner has worked out during the week should take care of the Utah end of the score. The Utes could use a good night at the foul line, however. In both WAC losses they outscored the opposition from the field but failed to take advantage of the free throw. Hold Score Down The most important and most difficult task to confront the Utes will be containing BYU's scoring power. The main stay for the Cats in Provo was Kari Liimo. Utah will have to close off the 10-15 foot range from the Helsinki Fink, as it was here that Liimo got the majority of . his 28 points last week. Another major factor in holding hold-ing down the score of the Brig-ham Brig-ham Boys is power on the defensive de-fensive boards. In the last meeting meet-ing the Cougars' big men, led by Craig Raymond, out rebounded rebound-ed Utah 41-24.
