They participate in the action and roar their approval and shout their disapproval. They have reason, though, to be proud of the Pokes. Last year, Wyoming went through a horrible season.

Ragtime Cowboy, talk about your cowboy, Ragtime Cowboy Joe. Maybe I garbled the lyrics, but nobody, nobody, misses the tune. You could see Shurmur sort of rise on his toes and that red head had a challenging tilt as the young Cowboy coach made his exit. There is something about Wyoming football that brings out the best in the fans. And it should. Cowboy football did more to unify the state than any sin- gle movement. And those Cowboy fans are loyal. They may grumble and complain when they lose and they can cuss out their representatives who have let them down.

But the Irishman was just as emphatic. We will, he said, give em hell. The Pirates will count on doing that with their bats. But as much an the playoff victory was a result of their big bats, the Pirates could not have accomplished what they did in game No. 4 without relievers Bruce Kison and Dave Giusti. Their pitching, as much as anything, was the big difference in the marathon three-hou- r game, replete with 21 hits and a couple of strategic moves by Fox that backfired. Kison. a stringbean ioles.

That brought a change in coaches, with peppery Fritz Shur-mu- r replacing Lloyd Eaton as the head man. Fritz is leading the Cowboys back, but he isnt kidding himself, you cant get out of a deadfall like the Cowboys fell into without time and effort. Just a couple of weeks ago, these young Cowboys were humiliated by a powerful Colorado U.
