Eight Ute turnovers in one game is a lot, even in basketball. In football, its suicidal. And, yet, even with all the Ute generosity, the Aggies trailed 4 going into the final period, despite some brilliant passing and running by quarterback Tony Adams of USU. Adams completed 25 of 48, with three interceptions, for 307 yards and three touchdowns. He also carried 13 times for 63 yards to keep Aggie drives alive. 21-1- t Sunday Morning, November 14, 1971 1 t Tribune Sports Editor gfibme y$tt$ N 21-1- 1; Page One 17-1- Sports Mirror John 162 Mooney I Tribune Sports Editor The Western Athletic Conference, one the leaders in the successful fight to allow freshman competition in all varsity sports but football and basketball, will be amcng the vanguard of the conferences asking that frosh be allowed to participate in football and basketball at the NCAA meeting in January. of the Many coaches, naturally, using freshmen in the arguments have The big one is that it isnt fair to put lads against the more mature upperclassmen. are alYet, these same lowed to vote and serve in the armed forces. If they are mature enough to vote and fight, they certainly wont be out of place on the varsity. Some will argue the pressure of varsity football, plus the transition from high school to college, will put too much strain on the study habits of the football and basketball players. But swimmers, who have a longer and tougher training schedule than football or basketball, are able to maintain grades under this pressure. Swim Coach Don Reddish of the Utes has charted his swimmers and found they did their best academic work under the pressure of the competitive seascn, when they budgeted their time better. And, if a boy hasnt matured sufficiently to compete on equal physical terms with the upperclassmen, he can be held out of varsity competition as a red shirt.

Tribune Sports Writer PROVO Brigham Young University broke the one stadium record the Cougars had hoped would stand forever six and Arizona was pass interceptions quick to rub it in here Saturday as the WestWildcats rang up a stunning ern Athletic Conference win. The Wildcats of Tucson, who hadnt won here in two previous tries, rolled up 20 points in a span of the fourth quarter to shock a crowd of 27,109 who had turned out for the Cougar homecoming. The fourth quarter frolics duplicated the Arizona effort of one week ago when the Wildcats roared from a 4 deficit in the final stanza to hang a 2 loss on Oregon State. 27-1- 4 Mike Desylvia missed his only conversion attempt of the day and it was easy to sense that the momentum had shifted. Arizona had put two touchdowns on the board in less than eight minutes and BYU was struggling, behind at Moments later, reserve quarterback Snatches Aerial Jackie Wallace latched onto the aerial his 10th theft of the season for an Arizona record and a potential tie for the but he fumbled at national leadership the line where teammate Greg Boyd picked up the pigskin and lumbered for the score with 1:47 left. The Wildcats had scored first in the opening period when Demory found Mark Neal on a scoring pass.

Texas-E- l Paso, as the prime example, has only football, basketball, track and cross country and baseball as its varsity sports. Colorado State doesn't have tennis or golf; Wyoming doesn't have tennis. And several schxils who list coaches of all in varsity sports have representation name only. Expenses have to be cut and while most coaches would like the idea of having the freshmen for that year or .caching, plus frequently a year as a red shirt before turning tlmm loose as varsity players, it nlny come to the place where the budgets will call the shots.

The final staustics read six pass interceptions and four fumbles lost. And to think BYU kept Arizona pinned to the Wildcat goal posts the entire third period and still lost it is almost beyond belief. Arizonas Charlie McKee believes it. With the Wildcats backed up to their eight-yarline and with a third down and an acre to go for a first down with only 3 minutes to play, McKee pulled the play of this or any otl er season for Arizona. Quarterback Bill Demory faded into the end zone and heaved one of his 24 aerials toward McKee, but it appeared both Dan Hansen and Bennie Smith of BYU were in the way. McKee, a lithe senior from Phoenix, leaped high above the defenders to tip the pass. Feathers Out With as frustrating.

Phil Wrigley, owner of the Cubs who eliminated Banks as Durocher's possible successor earlier in the week, cleared the way for the managerial change by already announcing he would have "a talk" with Durocher shortly. To expedite matters, coach Joey Amalfitano, long a Durocher favorite, resigned wiih the Cubs Tuesday and joined the San Francisco Giant: as a coach. Similarly, Ixirry Jansen, a former Ernie Banks, mate of Lockman's and a friend, left the Giants Wednesday and was hired as the Cubs pitching coach. long-tim- e Lowrey Out Before the manager goes, the coaches generally do and that little matter has been taken care of already. The Cubs already have announced that the contract of Harry Peanuts Lowrey will not be renewed. Lowrey also was a favorite of Durocher. Simultaneously, AI Spangler, another one of the Cub coaches, accepted a position in the clubs farm system as a manager. When Wrigley eliminated Banks as Durochers successor a few days ago, he a diny job called the managership and implied he did not wish to saddle Banks with it.
