Show Cougars Traveled Too Far Too Fast Watts Cookin’ The And it will be traveling again as much as 14 points in the first this week for the Cougarsas they pair remain on the road, meeting rival Utah State Wednesday The split at Lawarence, Kansas, plus a victory over night in Logan. Oklahoma State earlier in the As a membei of last week's week, pushed the Cougar season record to 6-1. to 1Ith in the poll s due “Really, 1 was very disaptoamltin the JayhawkCase pointed in our team's perin Kansas. The Mountain vantage because of the very vocal and active crowd, andir that respect BYU might have been homered, but the officiating wasn’t bad. Sure, there were a fewcalls that could have been called the other way, but it happened for both Q. How the Cougars react to the crowd? A. It seemed to me that the Cougars were intimidated by the crowd morethantheofficials were. They seemed tolose their poisc, not only from the offensive crowd, but also from the defensive Jayhawks. It was a typical type road gamethat the Cougars are going to have to get used to in the Western Athletic Conference games ahead. Q. How good is Kansas? A. I don’t feel they are as strong as the KansasState team that BYU beat here in Provo.It will be interesting to see how the teams iare during Big Eight competition. Kansas seemed to have only one good shooter, Bud Stallworth, and he hadhis best night of the year against BYU. According to some observers, had Kansas played as well all year as they did against BYU they would have won themall. On the other hand, BYU played its worst game of the year against Kansas. Q. How good is Cincinnati? A. Cincinnati has some pretty good individual players, but they seemed to lack the desire to win. They should have beaten USCthefirst night, and they very easily could have beaten BYU the second night. Either they are out of shape, or don’t have enough competitive spirit. Q. Howgood is Southern Cal? A. Plenty good. Paul Westphalis a brilliant guard. He drives to the basket with great authority andability, and is a good team leader. Ron Riley is learning the forward position very quickly, as shown byhis 20 for 31 from thefield for the tourney, and Joe Mackey, the other forward, is also an outstanding player. The Trojans are weakatthe other guard,and only soso at center. The two centers, Billy Taylor and Mike Westra, are both about equal in ability. They give good board strength, but neither are effective offensively Riley was MVP in the tourney, and Westphal and Mackey were both on the team,in addition to receiving one MVP vote each. Southern Cal looked very sluggish and slow against Cincinnati and was lucky to.win. The Trojans cameoutof their zone defense just in time to pull the gameout of the fire. However, against Kansas they looked muchsharper. Whether they can beat UCLA is another question. At any rate, the Trojans have three first class players and seem worthy of a high ranking nationally.

Tennessee Nips Arkansas 14-13 in Liberty Bowl MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI)—It all boiled down to a battle of talented toes and a cisputed fumble in the heart-stopping Liberty Bowl Monday night. Tennessee's George Hunttied on the mantle of hero when his extra point kick defeated Arkansas, 14-13, with only 1:56 to play following a 17-yard run by fullback Curt Watson.
