It was a typical first night-eBYU tried to run for the full 40 minutes and didnt have the runners. Stanford changed the BYU pace successfully and got the shots, but missed them when points were most precious.

Utah State was No. 9 in one of the rankings and proved it against Ohio State. Then it met West Texas, which hardly gets its name in print, and the Aggies take the gas! And if the Aggies dont wake up theyll find out that Utah can beat them easily unless Utah also doesnt wake up. There was gloom around the Fighting Farmers foM this week; I jnst happened to be on campus the day after that embarrassing defeat. Gloom around the basketball bin was thicker than the valley fog along the bottoms of Blacksmith Fork River. Maybe the Texans uTere that tough. Weber didnt think so and surely the Weber win lulled the Cache kids into a false sense of security which is the way with basketball when the games come around so quickly. Its very possible that Utah State is stinging from a stint with the stales. College Could Be A Reversal Marvin Roberts must have read where he was candidate and a surefire finalist. If Roberts shows no more spunk than hes showed in his first two games he wont get. a vote. Roberts doesnt bother very often to go to eihe sort of loiters for the ther end cf the court long shot. He has the talents to be the nations best. But unless he plays his best hell miss his mark by a mile.

Jeff Tebbs is suffering a little with junioritis a disease which sets in when you think that everything is rosey posey and some sonhomore bunch like Ohio State comes up with a little fire and flippancy to scare the socks off you. Coach LaDell Andersen will have to scan the ranks for the other two players. Its going to take some great fill-i- n talent to make this machine go at the gait it can go. Utah State has the makings of a champ. But someone better light a firecracker in someones hind pocket before its too late. And 1 for the first two games makes.it almost too late.

From the mailbox : Mr. Miller, did you know that the reason BYU students turned hack tickets to the Ute football game in Salt Lake Citv was because of the hih price of $4.50 each seat? We couldnt afford them. Dont you think that this price is unjust? Of course I do, but your own officials decided that visiting students should nau the retail price. e ticket for Conference rules permit a can students. schools But visiting agree on a higher price, half-pric- BYU was alloted 3,000 seats to its Utah game. It turned hack 1.000 of them. As it turned oat the stadium was only full and there was room for another 9,000 or- so. At $2.25, the conference price, the game might have made as much for the two schools as the $4.50 tab. two-thir- ds Students Pay Twice It's all so paradoxical. Someone keeps telling us that college football is primarily for students. Football exists as a boost for the intercollegiate spirit. Is that true? Look at the proportionate ber of seats allowed for students and num- off-camp- public! Students should complain. They dig deep in their pockets to heln the athletic funds pay quite a bit of the athletic load usually finance the places athletes play in. Then they have to pay their students fees on ton of that. To follow their team to the neighboring stadiit um they are dunned for the down-tow- n price seems a bit steep. Now, what to do about it! You students have a voice in your campus doing3. There is a way to vote, your preferences. This is a matter for you to ' manage. You tell us that our generation is always goofing things up. Lets see your generation handle this one.

University officials were in closed-doo- r sessions Friday and scheduled a press meeting for Saturday afternoon.

Deseret News Sports Editor Take M; Aggies The Gasser! i- Snaps Up Coral Lead By DAN PATTISON Deseret News Sports Writer If the Utah Stars players would have listened to Dick Nemelka before the game, they would have had no worry about the outcome against Kentucky Friday night at the Salt Palace. Nemelka dreamed that he would end the ball game with a three-poin- t play and win it for the Stars. Strange things but the former happen Brigham Young University did just that.

I was restless the night before and couldn't go to sleep, said the smiling former West And when I High great. went to sleep I finally dreamed that I would make a three-poin- t play to win the game against Kentucky. Coach Bill Fharman said in the time out that the guards should screen for each other and get off a free shot or try to hit someone down deep. I thought I just had the shot so I let it fly. It was not the first time the guard made the right play at the right time Friday night. He swished a r with :01 left in the first quarter to give the Stars the lead, And he did it again with :04 left in the half to close the margin to one point against Kentucky, The first period was a little unusual as Kentucky meshed four three - pointers and Utah had two. The Colonels guards Darel Carrier and Louis Dam-pie- r had two apiece and for Utah Mike Butler had one and of course, Nemelka found the range. Nemelkas shot seemed to overshadow such a great performance by Zelmo (Big Z) Beaty who equaled a Stars team record of 47 points and had 16 rebounds.
