All games will be played at City Park beginning Saturday Satur-day at 9:30. Sides competing in the tournament are Santa Cruz Rebels, Lake Tahoe, Flagstaff, Denver Barbarians, Barbar-ians, Queen City (Denver), Zebra Touring Side, Dead Goat and Park City. The Denver Barbarians, who made it to the finals in last year's Challenge Cup, and the Rebels from Santa Cruz, a side that has played impressively in recent California Cali-fornia tournaments, would ' have to be picked as the favorites. Yet Park City Mucker Coach Dave Mueller said any one of the eight sides playing this weekend could take the crown. "It should be pretty even," he said. Park City is bouncing off a first place victory at the Zebra Rugger Festival held Labor Day in Pocatello, Idaho. The Muckers' morale is probably also boosted as a result of their impressive second place finish during the Ski Town Tournament held here not long ago. Park City will be competing compet-ing without the talents of Rocky Collins who injured his knee during the Ski Town Tournament, but Mueller said the rest of the team is in good physical shape. "We've been playing much better lately," said Muller "We've won six out of our last seven games."
