Show ougar Receivers Could Be xBest 1 ver By DOROTHY KNOELL Herald Sports Writer fall mostly to "about six guys that we'll really count on." The six include juniors Glen Kozlowski, Scott Norberg and Richard Orr, senior Adam To put it simply, the Cougars have a wealth of talented hands just itching to latch on to all those passes that Robbie Bosco, Blaine Fowler & Co. will be tossing into the wild blue yonder this fall. Those hands belong to what could be the most talented corps of receivers the Cougars Haysbert and sophomores Mark Bellini and Jim Edwards. And brother, can they catch. Kozlowski is to Cougar fans. He is one of the very few players to ever start as a freshman at BYU and is known for his acrobatic grabs in heavy traffic. While he has been slowed by a chipped bone in his elbow during fall drills, he looks to be ready for Pittsburgh. Haysbert is also familiar to fans because of an injury that starter Mike Eddo suffered in last year's Utah State game. When Eddo left with a broken collar bone, Haysbert moved into the starting rotation and made some big grabs for the Cougars. One of the speediest receivers on the squad, Haysbert is able to run under those long bombs that are Bosco's speciality. Bellini's name is new to d many fans because he last year. But he is a gem. The pass catcher walked on two years ago from San Leando, Calif., well-know- n have ever assembled. And that's saying a lot if you think back to all the great groups of pass catchers the Cougars have had. "I'd say this is probably as good a group as we've ever had." is the assessment of the man who should know, receiver coach Norm Chow. "They are very, very ented." tal- The tight end position, which also falls under Chow's leadership, gets another enthusiastic response. "Tight end was a real concern when we came into fall drills, but it isn't any more," he said tirmly. "We're very happy with our tight ends now." First, then, let's look at the wide receivers. Chow said the pass catching duties there will 6--0, Fray i Stay in Philly 1 Army-Nav- y To red-shirte- - PHILADELPHIA (UPI) The city and officials ot two U.S. military academies have signed an agreement to assure the Army-Nav- y football game will be played m its traditional Philadelphia home for eight of the next nine years. As long as there is an Army-N'av- y game. I hope it will be played in Philadelphia," said Mayor Wilson Goode, who 175-pou- " Ofe and made the freshman team before coaches, seeing a topflight receiving corps already assembled last year, decided to save his talent for another year. Norberg, another one with a little extra speed, is in his second year of playing for the Cougars after transferring to BYU from Nebraska, while Orr is another transfer (from Snow Junior College) who brought lots of ability with him. Edwards is a returned missionary who attended Provo High and played a lot with the junior varsity in 1981. Orr suffered a separated shoulder early in fall drills and was forced to miss practice for a while. However, the early diagnosis was that he would be available to play this season. So, who will start from among the talented group? "Starters? That's not important. We only designate start- ers for the news media," Starting doesn't really mean much at wide receiver." The depth chart as of now lists Kozlowski, Haysbert, Bellini and Norberg as the top four, but Chow said all will see action. The Cougars also brought in some freshmen wide receivers Andy Boyce from Alta High and Kirk Holle from Kenne-wicWash. and Chow said both will be good. Gary Costar and George Tav-it- a who have been the focus of a lot of interest. Of Lindley, Chow said, "Lance really worked hard over the summer. He's always - - been too heavy. We told him we wanted him to come back at a certain weight this fall and he came back a few pounds lighter that that, so we know he was serious about playing." k, "Right now, they're typical freshmen, learning the system and the pass routes. It takes a while. But they'll both be good," Chow said. As for tight end, the inevitable question is, "Who's going to replace Gordon Hudson?" That's a tough question, since Hudson was a two-tim-e Chow admits the coaching staff was concerned coming into fall drills, but said what he's seen there has dispelled his worries. "David Mills has stepped forward and played very Chow smiled. "It doesn't really matter who starts, because of the way we rotate players. I tell the receivers, If you're in for the first play, you're out for the second and if you're out for the first play, you're in for the second.' Lance Lindley, and three freshmen Trevor Moiini, well," Chow said of returning senior. "He has played in the shadow of Gordon for the past few years but he has played well this 6-- 4, 211-pou- fall." Besides Mills, the Cougars have another returnee, junior Then there's the freshmen, and Chow said they are living up to their billing. "Of course, they're still just freshmen and are trying to adjust to our system," he said cautiously, "but they are fine players. "Trevor has stepped forward and played very well. He'll see quite a bit of playing time on the varsity, I think. Gary will too. George is another fine Player but is still adjusting. But I think all three will contribute," Chow said.
