Show i Y Cougars Face Tough Cowboys Saturday Oct. 12 Provo It's homecoming at BYU this weekend, and the Cougar football team is faced with an identity crises. The Cougars, who will meet Wyoming Saturday afternoon in Provo, are having a tough time believing they are the same team that is winless in four starts. They know they are better than that. They didn't give up a touchdown touch-down in their first two games. Until last Saturday they were ranked first in the league in team defense. In their last game they scored 33 points, held a six-point lead, and had possession of the ball with just six seconds remaining on the clock. And yet, there it is no wins in four starts. No wonder they are looking in the mirror with that is-that-really-me question about themselves. Not much relief in sight, either, since the Cougars draw a very stubborn Wyoming team as a homecoming opponent this weekend. The Cowboys gave the WAC's defending champion, Arizona State, a real battle before dropping a 10-16 decision de-cision to the Sun Devils in Laramie. Big task for the Cougars, of course, is getting the team morale back up, following the 33-33 tie with Colorado State. BYU had a 13-point lead with less than three minutes remaining, re-maining, then saw the Rams score twice. They were saved from defeat by the slim margin mar-gin of a missed PAT kick, thus producing a tie. It was the Cougars' first tie game in over ten years, and Coach La-Vell La-Vell Edwards' first as head coach. BYU 's offense is starting to move again with the return of tailback Jeff Blanc, who is getting back into the lineup following a pulled muscle. Blanc carried the ball 19 times last Saturday, and added needed speed and spirit to the Cougar attack. Also, there's a good chance that Jay Miller may see action at the split end position for the first time this season.

Evaluated By USU Poll The overall performance of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources deserves a "good rating,1' according to a recent survey of 1,100 Utahns taken by the Bureau of Government and Opinion Research at Utah State University in Logan. The survey, taken for the Division, showed people with no active interest or concern in the actions and policies of the Division gave it a higher performance per-formance rating than did those exhibiting an active interest. Demographically, the survey showed women gave the Division a higher performance rating than men; persons in upper income groups rated the Division higher than persons in lower income groups; blue collar workers did not assess the Division's performance as highly as did those in other occupation subgroups; and residents resi-dents in the Cache-Box Elder county areas gave the Division the lowest rating. Division personnel received an exceptionally high rating from Utahns in the survey. Both residents and nonresidents non-residents were asked what they liked least and what they liked most about the management of fish and game in Utah. Both questions received a high pro-portion pro-portion of "no comment responses. Among Utahns, fishing . policies and regulatins received more compliments and fewer complaints thandidhunting policies and regulations.

Morton, Department of thelnterior Secretary. "This is a revenue stamp required of all duck hunters 16 years of age or older. Conservationists Con-servationists of all persuasions can make a solid contribution to wildlife preservation by buying buy-ing a duck stamp for five dollars at their local post office," Morton Mor-ton said. "I am especially proud of the progress in wetlands wet-lands acquisition from these funds. Since 1971 over 300,000 acres have been set aside for wildlife." The revenue for the sale of these stamps, which have been issued each year since 1934, goes directly into the purchase of lands for waterfowl nesting, resting, and wintering. More than 160 species of birds, a number of mammals, and fish are directly dependent on wetland wet-land habitat for their survival. Some two thirds of the fish species important to commercial com-mercial fisheries industry are directly dependent on wetland productivity. Since 1934 over two million acres of land have been purchased pur-chased with duck stamp revenues. Average annual receipts re-ceipts from the sale of these stamps now total about $11 million. "The diversity of wetland wet-land values, to hunters and non-hunters non-hunters alike, is so great that all conservationists and people interested in the environment should share in the opportunity to preserve these vital natural resources. I urge all citizens to take the time to go to their local post office and vote to preserve what's not only beautiful beauti-ful but also ecologically important impor-tant in America by purchasing a duck stamp," Morton concluded. con-cluded.

The Division last year began a lead poisoning study on ducks on Utah's marshes, finding that redheads picked up lead shot at a greater rate than most other ducks. Biologists this year wish to determine the seriousness of the problem among redheads. Sportsman participation is important to us, because most redheads shot in Utah were raised on the state's marshes," explains AlRegenthal, principal waterfowl biologist. "Earlier this year, we banded 500 of of the birds. It is extremely important to our understanding of the lead poisoning situation that we retrieve as many of the bands as possible." Hunters are asked to bring banded redheads either to waterfowl refuge personnel or Division offices, so band numbers can be recorded and wings and gizzards canbe taken for the study. The gizzards will be examined to determine whether the birds have eaten lead shot, and lead levels in the wings will be analyzed to learn how much has been absorbed into the bird's tissue. Age of birds banded is recorded and will be important in determining the lead uptake rate among the population. Regenthalis interested in finding whether birds hatched this yearare among those with lead problems. The answers from this study will have-an important influence in deter mining whether lead shot will be banned from use on Utah's marshes. Hunters are reminded that only two redheads may be taken daily, with four the possession pos-session limit. The hunt will open October 5 and continue through January 5.

Wayne was the top all around qualifier intheWorldGames Trials recently. BYU Gymnast Wayne Young Top In Nation Brigham Young University's Univer-sity's all American Gymnast, Wayne Young, was the top all around qualifier for the U.S. Team in the WorldGames trials September 27-28 at the University Univer-sity of Texas. This made Wayne eligible for the 1974 world games in Varna, Bulgaria on Oct. 21-2 7th. In preparation for the world games he will leave for New Haven Connecticut on Oct. 9th to participate in a week-long training session. The training train-ing camp will be at Southern Connecticut under the direction of Abe Grassfield, a former U.S. Olympian and Olympic coach. The U.S. World Game team will leave for Varna,' Bulgaria Bul-garia on Oct. 15. Wayne will be attending an international meet after the World Games in Montreal, Good Hunt Predicted On Birds Utah's waterfowl biologists predict a good hunt this year, especially if mild temperature conditions continue to prevail. Division of Wildlife Resources Re-sources Waterfowl Supervisor Al Regenthal says, "There are a lot of birds here now. The two factors that generally prompt them to move out-water out-water and foodare adequate this year. Of course, if a northern front comes through the area, the birds will begin to fly south." Regenthal noted good numbers num-bers of pintails, greenwing teal and gadwaUs are on Utah's marshes, and that redheads and cinnamon teal will be heavy in the bag on opening day, Oct. 5: Pintail numbers are high, as was predicted and reason for the two bird bonus on that species. A bag and possession limit of one has been set for canvasbacks and two daily, four possession for redheads. Regenthal stressed that hunting hunt-ing on opening day is set for 12 noon. Hunters will encounter several sev-eral problems this year, one of which is the high water on the Great Salt Lake. "Even though the water has receded considerably consider-ably since the high mark earlier this year, areas such asFarm-ingtonBay,Howard'sSloughand asFarm-ingtonBay,Howard'sSloughand Ogden Bay where marshes west of the dikes were inundated are pretty well gone. So, again this year, hunting will have to be on developed areas," said Regenthal. "This will mean more crowded hunting conditions," he continued. "Hunters who want more elbow room will find Locomotive Springs, Public Shooting Grounds, Desert Lake and Timpie Springs more to their liking." Another problem is that because be-cause of the extra dry summer and continued irrigation, it is possible that water from the Weber River will not be available avail-able to flood Pintail Flat on Ogden Bay early in the season, sea-son, noted Regenthal. Hunters are reminded to bring banded redheads they take either to Division offices or waterfowl management area superintendents, so data for research on lead shot poisoning among the birds can be collected. col-lected. Wings and gizzards will be needed from these ducks. Bear Kiver Refuge will again be on a program restricting use of lead shot to odd numbered days. Steel shot, which will be used on even numbered days, is available for sale at Refuge headquarters. Canada, Nov. 5th. One gymnist from each participating country has been invited, which includes many European Countries as well as Japan. Another invitation from the United State Gymnastic Federation Federa-tion for a five week tour of South Africa had to be turned down because of his expected student teaching assignment. Wayne's wife, Carol, is a sixth grade teacher at Orem Elementary School. Orem-Geneva Times Goose Hunt Looks Good Utah's scattergunners should find a lot of geese on Utah marshes when the general season opens Saturday, October 12.
