Rollers Tie Apollo in 'Hot Game' It was a showdown between be-tween the gamblers and the gods. Park City's High Rollers travelled to Salt Lake City Saturday to take on the namesakes of the Greek God Apollo. And when the dust had cleared, both the gamblers gam-blers and the gods had rolled threes. High Roller captain Garry Moore sounded more than satisfied with the tie with the all-Greek (rather, all-but-one) team. "I think it was one of the hottest games that Park City has played in quite a while," Moore said. "It was a rough game, but everyone held his ground." The game marked the return of Russ Coburn into the Park City goal and allowed Moore to resume his old position as a halfback. Moore gave Coburn much of the credit for the win. Apollo opened the scoring in the first half when a mixup between the Park City fullbacks gave an opposing op-posing forward a clear shot on the goal. The ensuing chip shot dropped into the net just out of the reach of Coburn. The High Rollers evened the score before the half. Center forward Mike Sullivan brought the ball down the left side, dribbled past several Apollo defenders, defen-ders, then booted a centering pass to John Harvey. The Apollo goalie was beaten cleanly. Sullivan put his team in the lead early in the second half with a shot from the edge of the penalty box. Assisting on the play was halfback Jordan Swenson. Then Apollo went ahead with two quick goals. The first was a clean header by Richard Barnum-Reeee ports Journal Utes Need Boost! The University of Utah held a football game the first of the season but the team decided not to come. "I don't know exactly how we're going to do it," said Coach Wayne Howard, "but I know we've got to battle back." Indeed. The Utes were humiliated 27-7 in the worst defeat in modern Utah football history by Boise State. And worst of all, the University of Utah has the talent to be one of the best teams in the Western Athletic Conference. In fact, they were picked to finish second in the WAC conference this year by the honchos who are supposed to understand these things after going on the football writers tour of each campus. There just wasn't any fight in our people," Howard said after the game. "It seemed like they thought the game was going to be handed to them somehow; like the good fairy was going to come out of the stands and give us the game on a platter. "I could be ridden out of town on a rail if this was to keep up," Howard said. And so now the ugly black funk comes down on the University of Utah football team. Practice Monday morning after Boise State was real interesting. Coach Howard is an easy-going, coach qua buddy guy. But when it comes to lying down on a football field and dying, he gets to looking ugly with his brow furrowed and his eyes pig-red and mean. He says he tries to appeal to the players' pride, but you know at the same time he's appealing to their sense of survival. As Dave Jenkins, the old Ute Booster, has said time and again, "You get all good, mean, hungry football players and that's all you need. These people out there on the field are getting to uppidy these days." Howard likes to talk about being a friend, a pal, to the guys on the team. In fact, he's only kicked one player off a team in his life, and that was after the guy punched out one of the coaches. You can't have the students beating hell out of the teachers, and you can't have athletes punching coaches' lights out, either. Which is about the toughest element of Howard's world-view. He isn't the type to turn on his own people, even when they lie down , like ducks on a pond out there and let Boise State maul them with abandon. So then the Utes went out to Lincoln and tried to take on the state of Nebraska and the Cornhuskers. You know you're in trouble when the captain from the other side congratulates you at half-time for putting out a good effort. It's like the story of the young toughs cruising State Street and pulling over a big guy in a car with two other guys, both smaller. "Don't worry," the big guy says to his buddies after he gets out of the car in preparation for the gang fight. "You guys just stay inside and watch, there's only three of 'em." Nebraska is a little like that. They don't play football at Nebraska; they manufacture football teams and bring out new models each season. It's a dynasty. So it was obvious that Utah was going to get creamed by Nebraska. And that's exactly what happened. After thinking that Utah was going to have the best year since 1964 when they were ranked in the top ten and beat West Virginia in the Liberty Bowl, they lost the first two games. "Our backs were up against the wall. It was a must win, we knew we had to have it," Howard said after his team came back and beat the University of Nevada at Las Vegas last Saturday. "It's one of the best wins ever." Howard said the team responded "so well" with the pressure on them last week. They established a new record for total offense. They picked up five turnovers on defense. "In the first part of the game I thought Las Vegas didn't run the ball," Howard said. "They had the ball in the air all the time." Four hundred and forty-eight yards of rushing for Utah against Las Vegas. Del "Popcorn" Rodgers picked up 180 yards and a touchdown. He looked like the freshman star of old before a knee injury took out his promising start. So what of the University of Utah football team? "We're going to get better," Howard said. "We've just got to keep the momentum up." Indeed. Utah now is the Western Athletic Conference leader. And BYU, the favorite, is down one game after being surprised in Albuquerque by New Mexico. "We plan to win this whole thing," Howard said after the game. "That's what it's about right now " The Ultimate Addition to Your Home: Custom glass structure design, production and installation.

The second was less of a classic: a slow-roller slow-roller which somehow slipped under Coburn's reach. Although they trailed 3-2, the High Rollers didn't lose their momentum. "The enthusiasm en-thusiasm was still there," Moore recalled. "It was great." The enthusiasm paid off. when John Harvey recorded his second goal of the game late in the half, beating the Apollo goalie from directly in front of the net.
