But Bryan Rowley's interior pass to Randy Rhees was tipped and Justin Buttars finally managed to come up with it. Rhees was called for his fifth foul and Buttars went to the other end and drained both free throws for a 3 Bonneville lead. The Tigers still had a chance, but missed two shots the next trip down the floor, the second one being partially blocked by 7 Quinn then apparently Woody grabbed off the glass by Beard. Sheide just shrugged his shoulders when asked about that play.

High-score- WAC honors Toolson for 72 point week Herald Sports Editor the people at BYU who nominate Cougar players to the Western Athletic Conference for player of the week honors were a little perplexed after BYU whipped New Mexico ending a three-gam- e win skein. Almost every week this season they'd nominated star center Michael Smith only to have the league pick somebody else. But this weekend Smith capped an incredible week with an impressive Saturday night, finishing the weekend with 82 points and 29 rebounds. Things were complicated because of the outstanding play of teammate Andy Toolson, who scored 72 points in the same period and set a school record for consecutive free throws. Who to pick? BYU decided Toolson would be nominated because he not only deserved it like Smith, but his opportunities have been more limited. Toolson, a player who people told Jan. 5 he may be out for the season with a broken hand, today was named the WAC player of the week Monday. "We'd like to have nominated both, but they don't like that," said BYU assistant SID Ralph Zobell. a junior, scored 32 points against California and put in 20 points apiece against Texas-E- l Paso and New Mexico. Against California, Toolson also went 14 for 14 from the Toolson, line. During the three games, he hit 20 of 33 attempts from the floor, connected on 26 of 31 attempts and had 17 rebounds.

Schembechler, one of the guest coaches taking part in the NCAA College Football '89 Preview involving the coaches and about 60 invited sportswriters from across the nation, really teed off on the television mo' guls. "I think the college game is in good shape," Bo said. Then added, "The problem as I see it Marion Dunn SPORTS in college football, is that sooner or later we have got to have people who have the guts to stand up to television. Right now we don't have anyone who wants to do it. "It's particularly true in con- ferences where revenue sharing keeps some of the teams alive. "The time has come when we've got to stop television from dictating to us what time we are going to tee the ball up.' "We've got to tell them we are going to play the game at such and such a time and if they want to televise the game, fine. "College football was designed to be played in the early afternoon. Television moves it back to suit its desire and instead of kickingoff at 1 p.m. we find ourselves kicking off at 3 p.m. That works a hardship on those fans who must drive a long distance to and from the game and it makes a difference in the quality of the game. We Have to stand up and be counted." Boy, does that hit home. You BYU fans remember what happened last fall. The BYU vs. Wyoming game not only opened the season, it would be the biggest game in the WAC. It was originally scheduled to be played at 1 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon. Then along came television. At its demand the game was moved back to Thursday night and scheduled as the nightcap of a doubleheader opening with Southern Cal vs. Boston College. The Cougars and Cowboys went along. The kickoff eventually took place shortly before 9 p.m., under temporary lights. What was supposed to be a titanic battle between WAC giants went down the tube, so to speak, a poorly played contest that didn't do either team any good. And we were left to wonder what nught have been had the game been played as originally scheduled. Schembechler also said he believes too many college games are being shown on live television and predicted this could kill the goose that lays the golden egg stopped. unless it is "It is too easy for people, to stay home and watch the games," he said. "The pros can't touch the college game for loyalty. We have those great battles: Michigan- State, -Ohio Army-Nav- USC-UCL- Oklahoma-Nebrask- y, a. They are big games. "I'm not going to allow television to trample that." Asked how he would solve the problem of making it possible for those who want to see the game but can't get tickets, or or can't afford are shut-intickets, Bo answered, "By tape delay." Hey, I'll drink to that. s, |
