Moreover,the point totals between the two teams is about a draw also. At the end of last season the total points stood at 4,573 for BYU and 4,568 for Wyoming. Wyoming’s 11 point victory in Laramie -arlier this year (8-70) has put the Pokes one slim point ahead of the Congars in the point race between the two schools, It’s amezing that after that many games between two schoo's that the point total is so close. Nine Losses To Winning Teams The Cougars have lost to nine teams this season, but each of those teams are in the process oi chalking up impressive winning seasons. Houston (now 21-0), New Mexico (now 19-1), Wyoming (now 15-5), Utah (now 15-6), Sante Clara (at last report 14-3) Oklahoma City (at last report 16-4), Illinois (at last report 9-6), Loyola of Chicago (at last count 10-4), and St. Joseph’s (at last count 12-7) are the teams that have downed the Cougars. Johnson To Turn Pro Bart Johnson, BYU’s sensational frosh basketball player, hasofficially quit school. He was the Jeading scorer for the Kittens and had actually been the top scorer in all six games he played for the frosh. , Johnson hailed from Torrance, California and was one of the top college prospects in the entire nation. He had been scoring 26 points per game when hedecided to check out of school. Johnson, who is married, gave two reasons for quitting school: (1) financial pressure, and (2) his intent to sign a professional baseball contract. Following his senior year in high school the young pitching sensation was offered a huge contract by the St. Louis Cardinals, somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,000 per year. He turned it down to enroll at Brigham Young University, but now has changed his mind apparently. The decision to enroll at BYU will force some delay in the contract signing since there there is a major league rule against signing a college athlete. He will probably have to wait 120 days before signing, but then that is just right for baseba™ season. His loss is a disappointment to hoop coach Stan Watts, but also to baseball coach Glen Tuckett, A suffered a heart-br eaking fal! on Cutter i V 41.46 only come after an event.

While almost all fans have been aware of the closeness of the traditional series between BYU and Utah (which is tied at 55 gameseach following Utah’s win last Saturday) many fans are not aware that BYU hasan equally close series going with the Wyoming Cowboys. Going into this season the two teams had played a total of 82 ball games and each had won 41, Wyoming geined the upperhand at Laramie earlier in the season and so the Pokes now hold a 42-41 series edge over BYU.

A vough task faces the Cougars if they hope to win a share of the Western Athletic Conference title. It's a matter of winning all five games, and even then there is an outside chance that five wins won't be good enough. It’s going to be a dogfight to the finish and almost a sure bet that co-championswill be crowned again this year. Last year BYU and Wyoming won the conference with 8-2 records. If any team could post an 8-2 record this year they would almost certainly be sole champs of the league, but that would mean winning three on the road, which is about out of the question.
