They took advantage of it last year by winning the state championship in the Class A Division, and this year they are again battling for the state trophy. Orem wasn't expected to breeze through the playoffs quite as impressively as they have done, and because of their brilliant showings in the past two games those prognosticators who had earlier predicted that Skyline would be a shoo-i- n for the title are stepping back and taking another look at the situation. Certainly the Tigers were impressive Friday Li their 34-- rout over Granite.

"He's our most improved player," Charlie Dine says of Cheesman. "He'll make some college a fine dropback quarterback." Cheesman is 4 and 175 pounds. His height gives him a chance to look over the entire field without his vision being blocked by oncoming linemen. He executes well at the quarterback spot in all phases of the game. He is deceptive with his handoffs and his extra long arms seem to add to the deception, which is a big aid to the Orem running game. He has two excellent receivers in Mark Hansen and Garth Kenney. They run good routes and the timing between the receivers and Cheesman is quite remarkable for high school performers. Cheesman also occasionally throws to his backs and tight end, Duane Allen. Just prior to halftime Cheesman had thrown nine passes, had completed seven for 126 yards, including one touchdown bomb of 45 yards. rd 1. 17-1- rd onds left. OSU Gets 6-- SPOKANE, Wash.

The Cougars lined up with quarterback Rick Jones 10 yards behind the center and with two ends and two flankers split wide. There were only two running plays in the game, both on direct snaps to a halfback lined up behind one of the guards. One was with Dave Coon in the first quarter, which was nullified on a penalty; the other was with Bill Glatch for no gain. Jones, Brian Gunderson, and Don Griffin were dropped for a total of minus 96 yards, which is a school and WAC record for the least yards rushing in a game. Halftime Lead New Mexico took a 16-- 0 halftime lead in a wild half marked by 95 yards in penalties to each team, four fumbles recovered by BYU, and four passes intercepted by New Golden Richards, but the drive bogged down on the Lobo 17. Joe Lilienquist attempted a 35 yard field goal, which was long but went wide to the right. Chris Farasoupolos got things rolling again earty in the second quarter when he returned a punt 50 yards to the New Mexico six yard line. However, the play was called back due to a clipping penalty. The teams exchanged in- for punts and terceptions fumbles until the final minute of the half. Houston Ross picked off a pass at the BYU 47 to give the Lobos a scoring threat.

The appearance by Orem in the championship finals this year will mark the fifth time in the past nine years, which is by far the most impressive record of any school in the state during that period of time. The Tigers have won two state titles in that period, in 1962 with a 3 win over Tooele, and in 1968, a 28-- 6 win over Provo. The Tigers also have lost twice in the finals, in 1965 to Davis and in 1966 to Ogden Charlie Dine, the head coach at Orem, has been with the Tigers during all those glorious years.
