Show Sunday, January 17, 1971 THE HERALD,Provo, Utah—Page 11 Williams Utes Wallop Pokes 93-74 ‘Works’ SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) — The final score was Utah's Ken Gardner's 25 points, a rec- biggest margin of the evening. ord for him in conference play, Wyoming's zone defenses colfired Utah to a 93-74 win over heavily on Utah’s Mike Wyoming Friday night. Newlin and he finished with The loss was the first in the Western Athietic Conference for The Cowhoys are now 2-1 and Utah is 1-2 in the wac. Gardner's play, coupled with Wyoming's inability to rebound consistently, led to the Cowboy's at. Gardner had 2 points and 16 rebounds and was an impor- tant factor for the Redskins in the secondhalf. Utah trailed 4140 at helftime but exploded at the outset of the second half as jer scored nine of Utah's first 11 points. Earlyin the second half Utah was gettir.; two and three shots each time down the floor and at one stretch led Wyorning 248. But Wyoming, out-rebounded 66-40 byUtah, rarely got extra shots and slowlyfell behind action.

But, as is usually the case in the George Albert Smith Fieldhouse, the Cougars American players $49%8_s 59**_569°8_5 7988 MEN’S WOOL can get anything straight,’’ another observer laughed. ‘The Cougar “boo birds” were outin force early in the second half as several officials’ calls wentagainst the Cougars. Coach Williams, after the game,said he questioned a call or two bythe officials late in the contest and indicated that they were a big factor in Rams losing the game. Atthe conclusion of the game, Coach Williams went over shook hands with Coach Watts, looked up forlornly at the scoreboard once ortwice and shook his head as he walked sadly to the Rams’ dressing room. Jim probably was having a hard time believing his team had blown an eight-point lead with less than 10 minutes toplay. Kresimir Cosic, the darling of the Cougar fans who can seemingly do no wrong as far as they are concerned, drew thunderous cheers when he bounce-passed the ball between his legs and the legs of an opponent guarding him to Phil Tollestrup, who was breaking for the basket. Tollestrup drovein fur an easy lay up on the play to give the Cats a 22-18 lead with little over seven minutes to playin the first half and it was a fantastic play that would have been credit to the Harlem Globetrotters.It left the Cougar fans cheering for several seconds. Banners carried around the floor by the BYU students just before the start of the game included: “We're No. 1.” “Write in Cosmo for Most Preferred Man.” Cosmo the Cougar mascot. Cosmo,incidentally, spent several minutes just before the start of the game, sharpening up his shooting eye, as he fired away from behind thecenter line. He was close to shorting the ball through the hoop onseveral occasions from that distance and three or four of his shots bounced off the hoop. His shot looked very similar to a player in the preliminary game on the Utah Valley All Star team. I wonder? Colorado aie4,oe its girls and cheerleaders nealte the game and they added a lot of color to the game as did the Sky View High School Girls Marching cu, which performed at halftime. MEN’S WINTER SHIRTS Creighton's, Ponderosa, Wool- closing moments and the Rams’efforts to realize the almost impossible dream went down the drain. Speaking of coaches, during one Cougar time outlate in the game, BYU’s three varsity coaches — Head Coach Stan Watts and his assistants, Pete Witbeck and Glenn Potter — all seemed to be talking a mile - a minute at the sametime. This moved somebodyin the press box to remark: “With all three coaches jabbering so fast at the sametime,I don’t see how those foreign players can get anything straight.” “I don’t see how even the Receives Honor SAVINGS up to 50% and more Once when he was kneeling the Apollo 11 Crew JANUARYSALE during the of the evening.

Jim Willia.as, vociferous basketball coach of Colorado State, as usual, worked as hard or harder than his players during Friday night’s game with Brigham Young University as he skirmed and fidgeted on the bench, kneeled on the cement floor in front of the Rams’ bench and generally worked himself a full lather.

With the score 59-51 in favor of the visiting Rams the Cougars went into their three-quarter court pressure defense and scored ten straight points in a two-minute flurry to grab a 61-69 advantage, However the Rams didn’t completely fold and tied the score at 61-61 and again at 67-67 as they fought desperately to gain an upset victory on the Toad. Kelly Gets Hot They might have done it had not Steve Kelly got the hot hand at just the right momentfor the Cougars. Kelly plunked in a jump shot from the tip of the key, and then zeroed in a hook shot to put the Cougars ahead The Rams countered with four straight foul shots to knot the score at 71-71 with 2:14remaining. Kelly was called with traveling as he drove the baseline which gave the Rams the upper-hand, however the Rams turned the ball back to the Cougars with 1:35 remaining when Rick Fisher let a pass glance off his arm outof bounds. Steve Kelly then hit his third consecutive field goal attempt, this time 2 jump shot from about 18 feet, to give the Cougars a 73Tilead with 1:20 remaining. Rick Fisher, who led the Rams with 27 points, missed the potential tying basket for the Rams, and Kalevi Sarkalahti came up with the crucial rebound for the Cougars with 57 seconds remaining, BYU successfully stalled the ball with a flawless passing game until CSU’s Bobby Caton fouled Jim Miller on a steal attempt with ten seconds remaining. Under Pressure Miller hit both shots on the one and one situation to put the Cougars ahead 75-71, and then the Cougars just kind of let the Rams score the last one as the clock ran out with the Cougars winning75-73.

FoulSituation “The foul situation was 4 definite factor in the outcomeof the contest,” commented CSU coach Jim Williams after the game. “We had both Mike Childress and Rick Fisher with four personal fouls on them with morethan ten minutes to play in the game. That forced us into playing less aggressive defense, and it eventually cost us the game,”he added. However, the Cougars also had twoplayers in foul trouble.
