Show Sunday. October 24. Marion Dunn, perti (titer - Page THE HERALD, Provo. Utah. 1982 7 r'V V I'm Entitled to My Opinion I get VI letters... Dear Marion Dunn After reading your article in Monday's paper its quite obvious why your not coaching baseball. To begin with, you seem to have forgotten that baseball is a team sport. Whitey Herzog uses his players the way he thinks they will help them win. I would say that so far he has done a pretty good job of it. Over the last two years the Cardinals have had the best combined record in the National League, now does that sound like a team that has had bad coaching. I'm sure that Dane Iorg would like to see more playing time but he would also like to see the Cardinals win. I'll tell you why Whitey does not play Dane so much, its because he already has the fastest and best defensive outfield in baseball. True Dane is a good hitter and' Whitey will be the first to tell you that, but he is not as good as all around player as the rest of the starting outfield. Every manager wouid in the league would use Dane the same way Whitey has. Has it ever to you that maybe the reason Dane has such a good batting average is because he hasn't had to hit off lefthanded pitching. You are right about one thing, Dane Iorg is a class man, who probably hasn't criticized Herzog. He will also probably be embar-asse- d by what you wrote about him. I've been a St. Louis Cardinal fan ever since I can remember, I follow them everyday in the papers. I think you should use the Cardinals record for proof when you start second guessing Whitey. The Cardinals got to where they are by playing team ball, and Dane Iorg has been a big part of their success. oc-cur- So, quit writing biased opinions about something you don't know anything about. If the St. Louis Cardinals had hired you as manager they would probably have finished with the worst record in the history of baseball. The only second guessing I'm doing is why The Daily Herald ever hired you as a sports editor. Jim Ray burn Springville I've been a St. Louis Cardinal fan ever since Pepper Martin went on a rampage in the 1931 World Series. I don't need any special dispensation to second guess Whitey Herzog. And the only incentive I need is to realize that if it hadn't been the year to use the American League's designated hitter rule, Dane Iorg, who batted .530 in this series, might not even have had an at bat. could be allocated for USU fans so e that USU could keep its home attendance average intact. In fact, it would probably increase their home attendance average. I expect some Aggie fans will be upset initially; however, eventually they will be only too happy to travel to Provo to see their boys play BYU versus a steady diet of Fresno, Fullerton and scheduling of BYU athletic teams should involve two major considerations: (1) Schedule so that LDS Church members not living in Utah can see BYU; and (2) Schedule in high visibility markets so that large Church populations of non-LDmembers can either see BYU or read about BYU's great programs. Neither of these objectives are obtained by playing Utah State in Logan. per-gam- Cal-Irvin- S I suggest that the game be dropped from the BYU Usu-Loga- Dear Marion: I am in general agreement with your Oct. 11, 1982, article relating to WAC scheduling. Certainly if the WAC championship is to have integrity, all teams must play an equal number of games. However, one area of BYU football scheduling that you ignored is the continued scheduling of Utah State University. Please do not give me any nonsense about "tradition" or that "BYU has an obligation to USU because it did not get into the whacky WAC." The central significant fact of this issue is that there is no (I mean absolutely no) good reason for the BYU football team to play USU in Logan every other year. If this tradition needs to be continued at all, it can be continued in Provo every other year. Fifteen thousand of the 65,000 BYU Stadium seats n football schedule and be replaced with one game played somewhere along the Pacific Coast or in Arizona. There are over 30 million persons living in these areas and over 750,000 members of the LDS Church. Accordingly, this game would satisfy both of the objectives, whereas the Logan game does not. In fact, the only publicity that BYU gets out of the Logan game is vitriolic abuse from the Cache Valley fans. It's time for a change, Marion. Why don't you use your influence and let's leave the "wagon wheel" back in the 19th century where it belongs. Yours very truly Richard K. Circuit. above-referenc- respect for von ?'' wir Mpa. But I don't think that BYU should drop Utah State from its schedule unless the request came from the Aggiei. I agree that your points are valid, but there is another factor. Utah State is for all practical purposes a "sister school" to BYU. It is a great rivalry for those of us who live in Utah. It is an exciting game, almost without exception. I think the fans in Cache Valley are the same as fans in Utah Valley. And I think the fans in both valleys enjoy the rivalry. I can also remember back to the early years of the WAC when, shortly after it was formed, there was a lot of talk from a lot of people who thought BYU should be dropped from the conference. These people based their belief on two things: (1) BYU was the only private school in the conference, and (2) The Cougars gained more from their affiliation with the WAC than the WAC did from having BYU as a member. That reason No. 2 wasn't valid except in the minds of those who spoke it it, but they believed it. Utah State has befriended several schools in the WAC when they needed it most. BYU and Wyoming spring to mind instantly. Wyoming repaid the Aggies by dropping them from their schedule for a long time. They came back, but Cache Valley has a long memory. BYU is in the process of signing games with big name foes in big population areas as witness the word this week that Washington and BYU have agreed to a series. home-and-ho- Let's welcome those new friends.

Dennis Shirley, conservation officer with the DWR, reported 2285 hunters through the Spanish Fork station as of 7 p.m. Saturday. Of those, 12 percent had taken deer.

The Cougar women had four finishers in the top ten with Janell Neeley second, Carey May sixth, Carolyn Smith eighth and Sheila Rogers ninth. Lisa Larson finished the scoring by placing 16th. UCLA's men also had good grouping throughout the race. The Bruin runners were seventh through 12th at the halfway point. They spread out somewhat over the final 5,000 meters, but not enough for anyone to seriously challenge them. They finished in third (Steve McCormack), fifth (Jon Butler), eighth (Steve Webb), ninth (Matt Ebiner) and 11th (Ric Rose) for 36 points. BYU finished second with 48, followed by Idaho State 55, Weber State with 104, Utah State with 138 and Utah with 175. "We're very pleased with the way the race went," said UCLA men's coach Bob Lar-se"Because of the altituide we ran as a group, stayed together and made sure we were in position to score well as a team. We fan more conservatively than usual, but it worked out well. BYU has proven they have a good team and we respect them. We know they're capable of beating almost anyone, and we were concerned about meeting them at this altitude. We were expecting a close race, and essentially it was."

"Most of the hunters I have talked to are very happy with the hunt so far. Most hunters have seen several head of deer." But not everybody had a success story on Saturday.

(UPI) Craig Johnson threw touchdown passes to tight ends Jay Novacek and James Williams Saturday to carry Wyoming to a 3 victory over Utah. The win boosted the Cowboys' and dealt a severe record to blow to Utah's Western Athletic Conference title hopes. The loss dropped the Utes to 2 in the WAC and 4 on the season. Wyoming's winning touchdown TD pass from came on an Johnson to Williams with 5:48 left in the game. The score capped an drive and was Williams' first touchdown catch of the season. Steve Tobin's point after kick was blocked, leaving the Cowboys with lead. a But the Wyoming defense stiffened, and the Cowboys got the ball back with 5:33 left in the game on an interception by cornerback Darnell Clash. The Wyoming offense then used two key first downs to run down the clock. The Utes were unable to move the ball past their own 26 on their final possession. The victory for the Cowboys was their second conference win of the season. The game had been tied at 3 at halftime. Both teams offenses had success moving the ball up and down the field in the first half, but neither could capitalize with anything more than a pair of 16-1- 4-- 4, 2-- 3-- 80-ya- 3-- field goals. Utah had taken a 0 lead early 's in the fourth quarter on Tim second field goal of the day. The Cowboys got their first lead touchdown of the game on a pass to tight end Jay Novacek with 8:30 left in the third quarter.
