Show STUDENT Re-evaluat- ects This - of the possible scheduling of Weber State for a home game September 10 in Romney Stadium the prospsuch a contest now appear poor at most corner recently had a chat with Utah State University " athletic director Frank ‘Buss” Williams re garding such a game and Williams was of the opinion a footb'all contest with Weber State next year is not feasible Ilis main reason for not wanting to schedule Webe State this fall in football is that he believes the Wildcats are not jet advanced enough in their football program to compete favorably with the Utags The congenial athletic director said that Checketts toward scheduling Weber State in Utah State is moving both football and basketball in the near future but that next to start pear is not the time His main reasoning went thusly: (1) When USU starts an athletic rivalry with Weber State it should be a previously considered matter not just a coincidental contest that came about because of some last minute schedule cancellations on both school’s schedules (2) If the two teams play this fall it would hurt the possibility of future scheduling because Weber State would not be ready to compete with the Utags The result of this would probably be an overwhelming Utag slaughter of the Wildcats which would make fan interest ebb and therefore start the rivalry between the two schools off on the wrong foot altogether According to Williams the way things are being planned now Weber State will probably be on USU’s basketball scheduand football schedule around 1970 le by This corner can appreciate William’s feelings on the matter and they definitely seem derived from sound reasoning On one point we disagree however and that is his idea that a game with Weber State next year will hinder possible athletic relations between the two schools instead of help them well-planne- d Saturday A scheduled doubleheader is lined up for 1 pm Saturday against the University of Utah Eyes will be in an upward direction to se if the weather will cooperate with USU sports The Utah Indians bring a record into town however they are stronger than their record seems to indicate In an earlier meeting this year they came back from a shutout at the hands of Bill Lugo to give the Utag nine 4-- 0 a 12-- 2 blow The batting slump of Steve Radulovich first sacker has proved to be a sad story to Utah as well as losing two first-rat- e pitchers John Noriega signed a pro contract in February and Dave Duncan pulled a muscle in an early game Both all-WA- C these pitchers were count- of ed on to be starters for the at Righthanders Bill Lugo and a very fine head coach in Sarkis Arslanian and some assistants such as former USU grid aid Tom Ramage the WSC football program seems to be doing very well We think this is pointed out by their fine victory over Steve Musseau’s strong Idaho team last fall and by their outclassing of Big With opponents chances of USU drubbing WSC seem remote from here Utags would be prohibitive favorites for the contest but We believe the Wildcats could stay within two or three touchdowns of the Utags It doesn’t seem likely that such a victory margin by USU in the initial game would hurt the fan apThe The peal of a football rivalry As far as the financial rewards of a game next fall there seems no argument from any corner that the game would be a success Reasons for this would be the close proximity of Ike Weber State fans and the newness and uniqueness of such a USU-WS- C contest There C on opener with Hawaii It is almort §ame came about next fall there least 12000 game drew penses for a foregone fact that if would be a crowd of 7 u This would be 4500 more than the this fall In addition Weber State’s traveling exsue ha game would be almost nill as they could as up the day of the game Every since our first column suggested possible future majathletic or relations between US Uand WSC we have a 00t deal comment regarding the matter Most l°cal comment has been This is fine but nev negative mneless we still feel major athletic relations between the 0 schools in the near future would be a good bet thfl!r talkinS with director Williams we can see that for °S he feels the same way The only question is hm S00n the step should be taken tli?!?
