Defending No.l Challenge It's going to be tough for the Brigham Young University Cougars to match their football record of last year where they went undefeated, won the Western Athletic Conference title, Holiday Bowl crown and the 1985 National Championship. The only on-ly way they can surpass it Is if they go undefeated by beating much tougher teams such as Boston College, Col-lege, UCLA, Wasington and others, w in the Western Athletic Conference title, beat a top ranked team in a bowl game and snare another national na-tional title. The professional faam-batl team, Detroit Timers, won it all by winning the World Series last year and they were at the top all by themselves, The Tigers had two choice, down or up, Thry could maintain their L """"""" .fr , - - - - -v - ,i 1 ',, ;.

Detroit could turn things around and regain the top position, since there is still a month left in the season, but right now they are buried in a deep hole. For years and years and ye. :$ an athletic team has a goal of becoming a high school state basketball championship cham-pionship crew, NBA champ, NCAA hoop title holder, Super Bowl winner, World Series champion or national collegiate football champ and once the number one goal is reached many times the competitive drive drops off a bit because it's difficult to do belter than being the national or world champ. The main focus point of the season for Brigham Young University is to defend their national title and prove to the world they can do it all over again and win two in a row. Many teams have a let down the next season after being number one the previous season, but BYU"s cum is different as th y still have to prove to the norld they deserved la be number one bit year. There are iitli profile who refer to BYU a BY Who? or a Hnnham Yourg t'nienily from UKe Ci- ty where as in fact the correct city is Provo. BYU had a game with Boston College, Thursday and has two contests con-tests against top teams, UCLA and Washington. Wins over Boston College, Col-lege, UCLA and Washington would change BYU's name to BY Wow. However, losses to the big three would destroy any undefeated hopes and could wipe out a second national title. I'm a University of Utah football fan and I'm glad I am because I can walk up to the ticket booth five minutes before a game and get one of the best seats in the stadium, but if I did that at BYU in Provo the only seat 1 would be able to get would be in my car listening to Paul James screaming out the BYU game on KSL radio. A Discovery A few days ago I came across a 1973 copy of the Utah UTEP football program. The program had an article about UTEP's top wide receiver by the name of Crittenden. The speedy Crittenden didn't do the El Paw team any good as the Utah team slaughtered UTEP, 62 to 6, for the mt points scored by a University of Utah fooiball tram. I al-.o came am on article ileal the ffrOtinan f!h.ill trsm Thf t'Uh t'-dffl w g'firg inta tbe tt t. V with a perfect mark of 19-0 and the writer' of the article stated that after the season ended the Utes could very well be 23-0. f BYU and Utah played a freshman game in 1973 and I covered the game. The Utah team had a 9-0 halftime lead, but BYU's quarterback rallied his team in the second half to a 14-9 win over the Utes and destroyed any Utah hopes of going 23-0. The BYU quarterback on the 'freshman team happened to be Cif-ford Cif-ford Nielsen, who went on to great things on the BYU varsity team and as a member of the Houston Oilers in the National Football League, but in 1373 he was just a talented freshman. Wild Games The Uintah-Union football games have usually been exciting contests. Sometimes there have been some slaughter wins, but most of the time the games have been wild football encounters. en-counters. One game that stands out took place in the 13 season.

Thirty-two girls turned out for volleyball tryouts at Uintah High School and Ute volleyball coach LoaKay Bowthorpe had her athletes work on skills mostly and the girls began taking part in game situations, Thursday.
