The determined Utes reversed tilings this time against the arch-riva- l Cougars, with the Utah seniors making the most of their last shot at the freshman-ladeBYU team.

But he made sure wdth a point and now appears ready to defend his WAC No. 2 singles title. Things stayed the same at Nos. 3 and 4, with BYUs Mike Nissley getting his teams only point by repeating las straight set win over Dave Thornburgh (Nlssleys a tough three." said James.). But Utah's Dave Sberheek, another solid contender for WAC honors at No. 4, whipped Eric Peterson by the same scores he had in Provo, A line-uswitch provided the difference at Nos 5 and 6 for Utah. BYU' a less heralded hut equally important freshmen, Tony Trear and Rick Fought, had beaten Mullin and Derk Wharton respectively in Provo. So the Utes put Wharton at No. 5 against Trear and Mullin at No. 6 against Fought and won both, ft was Mullins idea. I was thinking about it in the shower after practice Friday," said Mullin I had beaten Fought before (in Ogden) and Derk had beaten Trear (at the Sports MalH. Theres more pressure on Derk playing Fought, since theyre both from Utah. And Fought likes to keep the hall in play, like I do, which is the kind of player I like to play.
