Weber State got high as a kite for its first game with Utah State last year and nearly pulled off a big upset. There is little question that the Wildcats will be keyed higher than the Cougars for this contest too. Mike Preston, Doug Adams, and Sid Smith will also see plenty of action. The defensive backs will be Dave Atkinson, Mike Russell, Gary Shiw, and Dana Wilgar. Weber State and BYU are both floundering through losing seasons. The Cougars are with wins over Oregon State currently and New Mexico. The Wildcats are 6 with wins over Northern Arizona, Cal and Idaho State. The only common foe the two schools have faced is Utah Stae, and that score indicates the game could be close.

Ben Crenshaw Shoots Hot 64 PINEHURST, N.C. (UPI) golfing youngsters, one blazing away with everything from an eagle to a triple bogey to retain the lead and the other surging from 16 strokes behind to grab a tie for second, have taken the spotlight going into today's seventh round of the $500,000 World Open Golf Championship. of Leader richest golf's tournament after six rounds was Tom Watson, 24, winless in his second year on the PGA tour. He stood at 423, three under par, -T- wo after a 76 Thursday that included an eagle, a triple bogey, six bogeys and two birdies. "The pack has moved closer to me," says Watson. "But it's a consolidation to still be six strokes ahead." Lurking six strokes back in a three-watie for runnerup was rookie sensation Ben Crenshaw, who grabbed his first tour victory two weeks ago in San Antonio, after a blistering 64 that included nine birdies against two bogeys. Still in Contention "I'm still pretty far back, but I'm in contention," says Crenshaw. "I don't believe I'll shoot two more 64s, but I'd like two rounds in the 60s." Tied with Crenshaw at 429 were veterans Jerry Heard, who had an eagle, two birdies and five bogies for 72 Thursday, and Miller Barber, who carded a 73 after a round with four bogeys against two birdies. Watson, who missed a dozen greens as his iron and wood shots went astray in a gusty wind, wasn't happy with his showing Thursday, which came one day after he tied the record for the No. 2 course at Pinehurst Country Club with a y seven-under-p- 7,007-yar- 62.

Together, the two teams set a record for combined passing yards 954. Several streaks will be on the line in Saturday's showdown. Utah has not lost at home this year and Utah State has not lost on the road. So something has to yards last week at New Mexico State to push his total for the year to 985. Only Tom Larscheid (1,044 in 1960) and Roy Shivers (1,138 in 1965) have gained more in a single season for the Aggies. The USU offense, sluggish in the early going, has come on strong with Tom Wilson at the controls. Wilson is nearing the passing mark with a completion percentage of 52. His chief target has been Crait, Clark, who is averaging nearly 18 yards per reception. Last year against Utah, Clark set a school with 224 yards in record receptions. Another top player for the is punter Gunther Aggies Gutierrez, who is averaging 42 yards. Fullback Jerry Cox leads the team in scoring with 10 touchdowns and kicker Al Knapp has hit 20 of 23 extra points and 10 of 18 field goals.

The Utes appear to be in good shape physically for the Aggies. Utah's lines will be bigger than the Aggies but maybe not as quick. The Utes have shown good pressure against the run in recent games and should provide a stiff challenge for USU's running game. Don Van Galder leads the Utes and has been offensively responsible for 19 touchdowns. Ike Spencer with 672 yards is the leading rusher. Steve Odom has been the top pass receiver and is fourth in the nation in punt returns. Lance Robbins has caught 24 passes this year and his first catch against the Aggies will set a school career record.
