Gifford worked out in shoulder padsfor thefirst time during the regular season Wednesday and his injured right snoulder cate through the workout in great shape. But Oiler coach Ed Biles said he will start John Reaves in place of the injured Kenny Stabler Sunday. Nielsen will remain ontheinjuredlist if Stabler is healthy enough to play a backup role. Otherwise Giff will be removed from thelist and be available if needed Robison as host Nielsen was the Oilers No. 1 coach Robbie was a world class runner and he is a world class coach Next week fans from this area will have a chance to honor Robbie, Silvester and the others at the Hall of Fame Banquet.

However, Wyoming's defense wasevenstingier against the Rams, at least against the run. CSU managed a minus 49 yards rushing but had 272 yards passing. And pass defense has beena sore point for the Cougars muchof the year. Almost all of BYU'splayers who = former BYUplayers now in the NFL the chances are you would name Wilson and Todd Christensen of the Raiders; Nielsen and tackle Nick Eyre of Houston; linebacker Glen Redd of NewOrleans; offensive tackle Glen Titensor of Dallas; running back Eric LaneofSeattle; offensive guard Paul Howard andtightend Clay Brown of Denver But if you stopped there you missed three others. Running back Bill Ring is with the San Francisco 49ers. Ring is returning kickoffs and getting in someball carrying time with the 49ers after just missing with the Steelers. Offensive tackle Brad Oates Was just signed by Cincinnati and defensive back Bill Schoepflin is on the injured reserve list with Baltimore.

Theyinclude Robert Allen, Provo, a bestselling author and real estate counselor; Terry Jeffers, Provo business consultant; Tom Moore of Alpine, and Howard Ruff of Provo. PITTSBURGH (UPI) — Larry Holmes won't have Gerry Cooney to worry about tonight when he defends his World Boxing Council heavyweight title against Renaldo Snipes. Cooney, the No. 1 challenger from Huntington, N.Y., who faces Holmesin a multi-million dollar bout in March, was expected at ringside but decided to stayin his training camp at Kiamesha Lake, N.Y. The last time Cooney (25-0) was at ringside for a Holmes bout, Holmes threatened to punch Cooney in the mouth if he came near him. That was after Holmes defendedhis title against Leon Spinksin June. “Hejusttryed to get in on mytime,” says Holmes of the incident. “He should show respect. I was still all pumped up from thefight and I didn’t wanthim in my face.’” Cooneyis training for his December tuneup against former heavyweight contender Joe Bugner. “We have nothing to gain by going down there,’’ said Cooney’s comanager, Dennis Rappaport. ‘We don’t feel we have anything more to learn about Larry Holmes. We don't feel there will be any surprises. They'll be nothing to see that we haven't seen before." Snipes isn’t given much chance of disrupting. the plans for the March showdown, He knowsit, the Las Vegas oddsmakers know it and so do most boxing observers. Snipes, however, is the only one that doesn’t believeit. The undefeated Yonkers, N.Y., fighter, ranked eighth by the WBC, says he'll win the nationally televised (ABC 9 p.m, EST) bout at the Civic Arena “Most champions went into their fights as underdogs when theyfirst foughtfor the title,’’ said Snipes after weighing in at 215% Thursday. ‘The underdog label doesn’t bother me.I'm used to it. After Friday I'll be champion. I knowit.”” After weighing in first at 213%, Holmesturned to Snipes and told him he would knock him out. ‘ “We'll see Friday,” said Snipes with a sneer. ‘We'll see who gets the easy payday. You got all your flunkies laughing at you now, but they won’t be in the ring with you.’” Holmes, pointing to Snipes’ 2¥-pound weight advantage, said, ‘That's all right, you'll just make a louder sound when youhit the floor.” With both entourages shouting at each other, Holmes, 38-0 with 28 knockouts, declared, “I will remain champion'’ as he held his WBC title belt over his head before exiting. It will be Holmes’ third defense this year tnd 11th since he wonthe title from Nortonon June9, 1978. In his last fight, he scored a third-round knockout of former heavyweight champion Spinks on June 12. On April 11, the Easton, Pa., fighter went the distance with Canadian Trevor Berbick, snappinghis record-tying knockoutstring in title defensesat eight. Snipes’ trainer, Fred Spry, says his fighter has the style to beat Holmes “He has his own style,” said Spry. “They can talk all they want. He’s ready and he's got the determination. There's no way he's gonna getbeat, no way. Holmes’ trainer, veteran Eddie Futch, disagrees “Larry simply has too muchskill for him,” said Futch, who has trained many champions, including Joe Frazier, Ken Norton and Alexis Arguello, “He's (Snipes) “awkward and Larry's been working very hard, so much so that I've had to cut him downin training a few times |
