Best Club According to Coach Stan Watts, the Sun Devils are; thej best club the Cougars have met this season. "They just hacl too much of everything for iis.'l said Watts. BYU's problem may ease somewhat this week with the return of star forward Bob Skousen. The 4 junior missed both Arizona games' because of an ankle irijury. He should be ready for the Montana trip, however. In Skousen's absfencd, the Coug ars were given a fairly consistent performance from BrUce Burton on the trip south; Burton, a 4 forward, hit in doubl figures in all three games, Near Halfway Mark With the season hearing the halfway mark, the Cougars are still an enigma. Individual performances have been spotty, and the team has yets to jell. New Mexico 6-- 6-- 4 campus. The other two coaches Dye says are in the running are Ray Nagel, of Utah and John Ralston of Utah State. At Omaha, a sports columnist stated flatly that . "the Cowboy mentor's shift to Lincoln hinges merely on whether he can, get his release from Wyoming." But in other quarters the guesses were not so firmly put.: Devaney was not available for comment Wednesday, and Wyoming Athletic Director Glen (Red) Ja- coby said he and Devaney had not had a chance yet to hold serious talks on Devariey's future. Asked whether Devaney would be released from bis contract if he were offered the Nebraska job, Jacoby said "until we talk to. Bob I think it would be very unfair to him or to us to say anything about the contract." - f NEW YORK (UPD Bill (The Hill) McGill, Utah's 9 scoring i machine, 'is .throwing in points at 36.9 a game clip en route t the national scoring leadership among major college players. McGill, who looks like the bes bet to succeed Gonzaga's Frank Burgess for the scoring title, has poured in 443 points in 12 games on 170 field goals and 103 free throws, according to the latest N.C.A.A.

Scintillating Stars BY High's Wildcats, sparked stars as by' such scintillating John Paxman, Kent Bunker and Phil Swenson, are expected to have an even tougher time than Provo Friday night when they travel to Lehi.' The Pioneers, led by Jerry Jacob, were quite impressive in preseason play and are getting a lot of backing from the experts as the title run near&. In fact, they'll be a solid favorite to whip the Wildcats Friday night with the game being played on the Pioneer floor. The title scramble in Region 7 is expected to be one of the closest ever, since there really isn't a weak team in the circuit. Even Tintic and St. Francis are expected to put topflight teams on the floor this year. Could Prove Troublesome For that reason, Tintic is ex- pected to give Pleasant Grove a lot of competition, while St. Francis could prove troublesome for American Fork.
