Timpview, like all other teams, fell victim to three and four putts on the front nine. Pin placements were tucked behind traps and drilled almost horizontally on ridge-line- d greens. "You could never go right at it because they were so hard," said Eggertsen, who was five over after nine as was Provo ace Steve Seegmiller. "I've never shot over 75 here before in junior golf play, it's an easy course," said Orem's Phil Tucker who was weary of the layout after carding an 88.

St. Louis began the comeback on a single by Ozzie Smith, a double by Lonnie Smith, a walk to Gene Tenace, then the blows by Hernandez and Hendrick. Once the Cardinals went ahead, it was only a matter of time before Sutter entered the game and nailed it down as he did 36 times during the regular season. "It's hard to believe," said Sutter, another key acquisition by Herzog. "I knew it probably won't sink in for a while.

Rick Fehr, Ted Lehmann, John Bodenhamer, and Kent Kluba were absent from the Cougar lineup as Tucker tested other golfers with the tournament experience. The Cougars' next tournament is the Fresno Classic, Oct. 28-- 30. This tournament will be played on the same golf course as the 1983 NCAA BYU's new 65,000 seat football Husky Stadium which has a seating stadium has caught the eye of the capacity of 59,800.

But signing Washington to a football series wasn't the only thing keeping Tuckett busy yesterday. The Cougar A.D. was in Denver to talk about the possibility of a postseason basketball tournament in the WAC. The subject first came up early this year. Tha WAC Presidents team came out game with Haand at least three waii banged up starters are doubtful for the Colorado State game this week. Wide receiver Scott Collie was hospitalized after a collision with tight end Gordon Hudson and was just released Tuesday. Collje, who was playing superb ball for the Cougars, hurt his leg in the crash and will certainly miss CSU and might be out of the Utah State game, too. Guard Lloyd Eldredge injured his knee and was expected to be idle this week, but I was in Edwards' office the other day when the big offensive guard came in and told his coach he thought he would be ready to play Saturday. Edwards wasn't that confident. The other starter out will be linebacker Brian Hansen who injured his ankle and isn't expected to return until the game in Logan. Council talked about it, then passed the ball to the athletic directors. Yesterday in Denver the men who run the conference's athletic departments discussed it, then tabled it until they can meet in San Diego Holiday Bowl week - Dec. They will talk about it again and give their recomendation to the presidents who also meet that week. I don't know how the A.D.s are leaning. The earliest such a tournament could be scheduled would be the end of the 1983-8- 4 season, and many things could change between now and then.
