(AP) -Obscure John Schroeder, a career straggler, pulled one of the major surprises of the season when he turned back graying DeWitt Weaver for the title in the U.S. Professional Match Play Golf Championship Sunday. Schroeder, who scored his first victory in five years on the pro tour, upset Lee Trevino in the morning to gam his place in the final against Weaver, winner of the inaugural Match Play Championship LARAMIE, WYO. The Cowboys pulled the upset of the year by beating Arizona State and knocked over Arizona at the end of the season, but still finished fifth in the Western Athletic Conference in 1972. Coach Fritz Shurmur saw Wyoming wind up a disappointing 7 for the season. 4-- Meeting with the WAC Skywriters on the fust leg of their journey Sunday, Shurmur nr.ade no bones about why Wyoming lost to Air Force, Kansas, New Mexicio, Brigham Young and Texas-E- l Paso. We played Idaho State in the opening game and won Fritz confessed. but nobody hit anybody, Then, we played Air Force Academy and lost, and Kansas beat us 4 and we found out what hitting ' ' was all about. 30-1- 45-1- 52-1- When we got to Arizona State, the coaching staff and players knew what hitting meant, but we werent consistently tough enough to win the games we should have won. most experienced offensive lineman, probably for the season, and we will miss Mike VanDiest at split guard. But if you have to sacrifice hitting, if it means none of your players is hitting because you dont work on hitting in your drills then youll have to sacrifice a man here and there and lose him to make a good football team, We already have lost our Shurmur explained. Which means Wyoming is going back to the trench warfare which characterized Wyoming teams urtder Bowden W'yatt, Phil Dickens and Bob Devaney before the trouble wrecked the program. " The trouble was the racial problem which disrupted, the athletic program and may have forced the coaches to their discipline until they found out how the athlete of today would react. soft-pedd- Tighter Controls never used to have a bed check," Shurmur explained, and you can say we will be a little tighter in our discipline and a little tougher.

How do the players react to the more stringent We the-pas- rules? Dan Fedore, senior linebacker and admitted most of the players wiU go along with everything, but they hate the idea of a 10 p.m. bed check. I think its the mental outlook which is making the difference, he added. I dont think the attitude as a whole was bad last year, but maybe tw'o or three undisFedore ciplined players sapped the teams- morale, said. Mike Lopiccolo, a junior offensive tackle, added in defense of the more rigorous training rules, we know how we finished last year with a more relaxed approach and we want to be winners this season. No more of that 7 disappointment after we beat the best team in the league in Arizona State. 4-- Devils Knew Attitude Siiurmur admits the attitude means so much in foot- - baU. Ill teU you this before Frank Kush does. The reason we beat Arizona State was because the Sun DevUs were not prepared mentaUy for us. We are going to be ready physicaUy and mentally to play tough against any opponent this year. And that means playing our. No. 1 offense against the No. 1 defense in scrimmage. I dont believe building confidence in players by having the starter manhandle the No. 3 or No. 4 player in his position. W'e want our best to play against the best we have so theyll know how' when theyre playing for keeps in a game. Shurmur continued we need one quality offensive lineman and one top receiver. Our running game also needs Charlie Shaw, who was hurt all spring and is injured now, at tailback to give us a breakaway threat. short by our We know opponents wont option threat this year as Arizona State was, but we hope to improve our power sweeps and passing to offset the soft corner play against the option. Steve Cockreham at quarterback should be better. Shaw, plus sophomores Andy Dixon and Bruce Williams at tailback and veteran George Lockyer and sophomore Lawrence Gaines at fullback gives us strong runners and big backs. Our defensive line will be lacking in experience, but we have quality people at all positions. Randy Gallu, a sophomore, may be the best linebacker we have had in years at Wyoming." Wyoming may have two freshmen playing as receivers, a freshman at backup center, two or three offensive linemen as reserves as frosh and the fourth comerback will be a rookie. However, this is the most impressive physical squad of freshmen I have seen at Wyoming, Fritz adds. There are problems in depth and experience at pussyWyoming. But you wont find the Cowboys footing" into battle this year. Theyll start fighting you as roon as vou leave the dressing room. - Observation Ward When a football coach finds a player loo biff for his britches, he knows he'll have a player whose shoes will . iymffi,-- Tough Team Tucson is without question the best team in the East Division of the PCL.
