Determining the difference is difficult, even v.lh a pair of good binoculars. So it was at Tucson last week when I spied BYUs Eddie Nichols handing over a Kip Jacksons fumble to field referee Joseph Poulson. The recovery of that fumble meant the difference between tying the score at or losing and a BYU TD was almost a certainpossession d line. ty from the A.U. 24-a- ll one-yar- There was no doubt in the mind of Eddie Nichols and Kip Jackson Nichols had indeed recovered the ball The ensuing A.U. Red ball, Red ball, chant must have set the stage for confusion. As A.U.s defensive team departed the field, referee Poulson was left holding the ball and the decision that A.U. had made the recovery. At first reports, Ray Clarke was credited with the recovery. Then it was changed to Jim Ventriglia, right tackle for the Wildcats. Now the riddle is solved by a young man who knows as well as Coach Tom Hudspeth, Kip Jack-soEddie Nichols and a good share of the 32,500 fans that Nichols recovered that costly fumble.

That injury has placed him on the lengthy Cougar injury list and ended his college Dennis Watford football days. You bet were going to miss Turkey come game time, assistant coach LaVell Edwards said of Watford. Hes one of those steady guys who always gets the job done, but never takes the credit. 0 CARBINES RAC Only consolation Watford has at this stage of the season is that he has plenty of company across the country with the Cougars getting that injury list off to a fast start with a half dozen key hurts.
