It is aiso homecoming for offensive backfield coach Les Miller who coached at Tulsa's McLain High Schoolfrom 1960-63 and at Memorial High School from 1963-64. Two Cougar players will also be returning home, Flanker attended Jerry Dugger The 12:30 p.m. (MDT) kickoff is homecoming for Coach Tom who guided Tulsa to the Gator Bowlin 1952. Hudspeth was a quarterback and defensive safety for three years during which the Hurricane compiled a 26-5-2 record Coach Hudspeth was on the Tulsa staff as freshman coachin 1957 and as backfield coach in back road wins after crushing wyoming last week 35-17. ButTulsa is not only hoping to bounce back from a 51-21 shellacking last week at Wake Forest but also the Hurricane will be out to improve on its League-leading 2 mark in the Missouri Valley Conference. Tulsa had only three legitimate games against MVC opponents prior to the start of the season so two of its home games, Virginia Tech and BYU, were designation as ‘conference” games by the MVC. The Hurricane beat Virginia Tech 46-39 at Skelly Stadium two weeks ago and now would like to dispose of the Cuugars. Coach Claude Gibson’s quad enter the game with a 3-2 record which includes a 21-20 victory over Arkansas at Little Rock. The other win was 17-13 over West Texas State. The other loss was 19-10 to Kansas State. Theoffensive leader for Tulsa is quarterback Tord Starks who is expected to be back after sufferias a broken nose last week. Starks, who played at Foothills J.C. (Calif.) against BYU's Bill August and Logan Hunter, has hit on 55 per cent of his passes (66-121) for 857 yards aad six touchdowns. But he had also had seven intersepted. BYU goes into the contest with hopes that Tulsa is looking ahead to next week's game at Tennessee. The Cougars would like to pick up win number four and increase the chances of a Sophomore Dave Terry (at quarterback) and Steve Stratton (fullback) will again be in the starting lineup. Both were instrumental in the win over Wyoming. The other running back will be Pete VanValkenburg who leads the WAC in scoring with 42 points. The rest of the lineup should be the same. Reserve quarterback Brian Gunderson and fullback Dave Coon are the only doubtful players. Theonly serious injury over the past few weeks was to defensive back Craig Crompton from Orem. Crompton underwent a kee operation Monday and will be out for the last half of the season. Tulsa experienced a rash of minor injuries in the loss to Wake Forest but the Hurricane is expected to be a full strength by game time tomorrow A crowd of some 20,000 is expected for what is Parent's Dayat Tulsa. KSL (1160) wil at carry the game beginning 12:15 p.m, (MDT) tomorrow.

By SCOTT CANDLAND Herald Sports V’riter SPANISH FORK — The Payson Lions proved it. They are the new Class AA champs and Region 4 co-champs, and they deserve it. Even the most skeptical observer would have been convinced after watching the mighty Lions thoroughly outplay the Spanish Fork Dons Thursday afternoon 24-0. If it wasn't Payson fullback Dick Armstrong breaking loose for a long run, then it was halfback DonOlson,or the other halfback Tim Durranteating up only five offensive plays. Things like that are why American Fork is in the state quarterfinals. Carbon had an excellent opportunity to score late in the second quarter. It was set up on an interception at midfield by Ernie Sandoval.

Payson lead 6-0 and it was obvious that Thursdaywas nota good dayfor Spanish Fork to be playing football. The Don's are a gutty bunch however. They ran the kickoff back to their own 39 and began an excellent offensive drive. Quarterback Ray Newitt surprised the Lion’s with a 29 yard sneak upthe middle. This moved the ball down to Payson's 33. From that point on, the two excellent Spanish Fork halfbacks’, Doug Taylor and Craig Beardall alternately carried the ball down to the Lin nine, whereit was first down and nine yards to go for a touchdown.But, because it was Payson’s day, Spanish Fork fumbled in the endzone. Payson recovered and took over possession on their owt 20 yard line. The Don ¢cfense toughened, and the Lion’s hadto give up the ball. Second Verse ...
