32 Star-Tribune, Casper, Wyo. Sunday, October 22, 1978 Wyoming Cowboys defeat Utes 34-21 in the second half and played well. I So did Bob Davis, a bread-and-butter back who seems to have a nose for the goal line. Fantetti was brilliant. He stood out like a beacon on a defensive unit that was already glowing.

The 230-pound Portland, native had six solo tackles, and countless Intimidating hits. Utah, which is still alive for the conference title, will take next week off, then play contending New Mexico in two weeks. Wyoming goes to Fort Collins on Saturday to meet struggling CSU. By CHUCK HAIKINS LARAMIE Here in Craggy Cowboy ville there Is more than a little discussion on athletic facilities. The University of Wyoming's athletic facilities, at least those taking place in War Memorial Fieldhouse, suffer from misnomenclature.

The creaky edifice, built as a memorial to the school's World War II veterans, no longer has the capability to facilitate any thing. Rather than an athletic facility it would be more accurate to bill it as an athletic impediment. All-American mention should go to Everett Denzin, fieldhouse superintendent, for keeping the airplane hanger from collapsing. But Denzin and his crew have accomplished about all they can do with War Memorial Fieldhouse. It's like the responsibility of making up Bette Davis' face.

It takes a lot of pancake makeup and dim lights to hide the wrinkles. The old World War II Memorial has gone about as far as it can go on a broom, sweeping compound, sander, wax, tanbark and a can of paint. It has been a great investment, surviving a couple of decades longer than those Butler huts which used to grace Utes to a touchdown, capped by his second TD pass to Folsom from five yards out. Hucko split the sticks and Wyoming's lead was down to six points with about seven minutes left to play. After the next exchange, Utah got as far as the Cowboy 40 before they surrendered the football.

Fantetti created a five yard loss when Utah had fourth and one. Gomez recovered his own fumble on Fantretti's savage charge but the Pokes had the ball. On the next play, Cousins hit Baginski on a 45 yard pass over Washington's head. The play carried to Ute 12 and it took Wyoming just four more plays to score the clincher with Cousins diving over a stack for the touchdown. Christopulos hit the PAT and the final score was Wyoming 34, Utah 21.

Christopulos kick. Attendance 1. Ahead lie CSU and BYU In the next two weeks. A heart-wrenching Injury to Myron Hardeman marred the victory. The splendid speedster from Texas went down with a knee Injury.

He will undergo surgery and be lost for the year. He is a senior. Ironically, Hardeman tore up his knee when he was Just 12 yards shy of breaking Frosty Franklin's career rushing record of 1,834 yards. Hardeman went down shortly before the end of the first half while pass blocking. Earlier, he had been taken out of the lineup but returned after movement in the knee was checked.

Wyoming won both Saturday games the football contest and the physical contest. A year ago, the Utes had the best of both contests, however the Cowboys delivered the most potent belts in this contest. Led by linebacker Ken Fantetti, who played a brilliant sideline-to-sideline game, the Poke defense came through with three more of their typical goal-line stands, along with some medium assaults. Marc Cousins, often maligned for his errant passing arm, put on a beautiful display of overhead fireworks. Cousins completed eight passes for 203 yards, Including some biggies.

Cousins and tight end Vic Baginskl teamed up to burn Utah safety Derek Washington on several key plays. Bob Davis scored Wyoming's touchdowns in the first half on five and eight yard runs. Dan Christopulos hit both conversions as the Cowboys appeared on the edge of a blowout, 14-0.

Christopulos, the nation's fifth-leaaing kick-scoring specialist, hit a 23 yard field goal in the third period to regain the lead for Wyoming, 17-14. Cousins then hit a blockbuster by firing a touchdown pass to Baginski from 27 yards out. Christopulos added the conversion and Wyoming had a 24-14 lead at the three-quarter gap. Christopulos then hit a 38-yard field goal to widen the gap to 27-14. Gomez, a 5-8 supercharged bundle of energy, then drove the By Chuck Hartlns Sports Editor LARAMIE The late General Patton would have enjoyed Wyoming's 34-21 victory over the Utah Redskins.

Wyoming's keyed up defenders were running over Utes much like Patton's tanks would do. It looked as though the Cowboys and Utes took pre-gaine transfusions of fumbles, but it was really the hitting that did most of the damage.

Wyoming's 13-point victory came before 20,758 fans at Memorial Stadium. It was a disappointing Band Day turnout, 5,000 less than anticipated. The victory moved Wyoming, once written off by its own fans, into second place in the Western Athletic Conference race. BYU leads the league with a 3-0 record while Wyoming stands 2- the campus. Believe it or not, the Ole Gal still has a pretty good body It's her innards that are shot.

Her insides are Tilcerated. She's beyond a Coaches' Comments LARAMIE The Wyoming Cowboys finally gave their fans what they wanted a balanced attack. Quarterback Marc Cousins, again engineering a gutty victory, split the Waddie attack right down the middle. The Cowboys had 203 yards rushing and 203 vards passing. "This rain won't hurt Wyoming's passing attack," came snide retorts when it started to sprinkle before kickoff.

Cousins, who entered the game with only 224 yards passing in the previous five games, came close to matching that total against the Utes as he hit the big pitches, particularly to Vic Baginski. "We did not work on passing anymore than we ever do," said head coach Bill Lewis. Still, there wasn't any doubt it was working much better than the previous passing attacks fared. Meanwhile, Randy Gomez found his aerial range after a slow start and kept the heat on the Pokes throughout the contest. Gomez hit 20 of 38 passes for 225 yards.

Cousins averaged over 25 yards a completion, opposed to the 11 plus average for Gomez. Gomez had his best luck on curl patterns and to tight end Steve Folsom down the middle. Cousins had his best luck to Baginski, who entered the game with one reception this year, and left it with three big catches for 79 yards, including a vital touchdown against the Utes. "It was a disappointing loss because it was a game we should have won," said Utah coach Wayne Howard. "We will have to win every game now if we are to stay in the WAC race." "One of our problems today with our rushing game was that we were down to the nubs in the offensive line.

Guard Tom Krebs and tackle Rich Ayres left the game with early injuries." Fantetti was oozing with confidence after the game was over. "We kreally got after them today," he smiled. "We were having a lot of fun playing football and we intimidated them." It had nothing to do with last year's loss to the Utes in Salt Lake City, according to Fantetti. "It was due to our position in the conference," he said. "We know we can't lose another conference game and we don't intend to." The way Fantetti played, he meant it, too! daily potion of Maalox.

She needs an operation. She'll get that operation if the Wy oming Legislature approves the expenditure of around $22 million dollars for the erection of a brand new basketball plant-student center, along with support facilities. Most of the support facilities would be tied to redoing the innards of War Memorial i. UCLA stays unbeaten his bench and even then Cal was unable to score. The Bears crossed midfield only four times.

cornerback Bobby Hosea also had two interceptions each. After the Bruins went ahead 35-0 early in the third quarter, Coach Terry Donahue cleared Lobos win by 15 James Owens ran 34 and 1 yards for touchdowns and Freeman McNeil added 22-yarder while defensive tackle Billy Don Jackson rambled 16 for a TD with another pass Interception and Peter Boer-meester booted a 28-yard field goal. Five of UCLA's TDs came as a result of Cal mistakes and Boermeester's field goal was set up on a roughing-the-kicker penalty. UCLA picked off five passes by Rich Campbell, four by Eric Anderson and one on Gary Graumann. Safety Mike Molina and BERKELEY, Calif.

'UPI) Cornerback Brian Baggott returned a pair of intercepted passes 61 and 62 yards for touchdowns Saturday to help 12-ranked UCLA score a 45-0 rout over error-prone California. The Bruins, 4-0 in the Pacific-10 Conference and 6-1 overall, set a conference record with 10 pass interceptions as Cal suffered its worst defeat since a 66-0 rout by Alabama in 1973. Cal, which went into the game with a 2-0 league record and a chance to take over first place, also contributed a pair of fumbles and never seriously threatened to score. CSU loses, 33-6 out by an injury to quarterback David Spriggs. Spriggs guided the Aggies into the early lead with touchdown passes of nine and 11 yards and Jeff Evans and Joe Hixon, but suffered a possible concussion early in the second period and left the game.

Spriggs had been averaging 313.8 yards per game to lead the nation in total offense and the Aggies, now 3-4 this year, were the national leaders in passing with an average of 292.2 yards per game. New Mexico, now 4-3, also got touchdowns on a 7-yard run by tailback Jimmy Savers and a 71-yard interception return. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (UPI) Fullback Mike Williams exploded for three touchdowns and 170 yards to power New Mexico over in-juryriddled New Mexico State 35-20 Saturday in the 69th. meeting between the intrastate rivals.

Williams, the career rushing leader at New Mexico with 3,515 yards, broke out of a season-long scoring drought with a trio of 1-yard plunges that enabled the Lobos to erase an early 14-0 New Mexico State lead. New Mexico State, which came Into the game as the nation's leading passing team, saw its offensive punch knocked Coke ville earns state berth UNLV 32 until Mark R. BeU scored on a 44-yard pass from quarterback Steve Fairchild in the fourth quarter. In the first half, the Rams lost r0 the ball once on a fumble 11 four times on pass interceptions, two of which set up Rebel scores. UNLV's defense allowed the Rams past midfield only seven times, but only once Inside the 30, as CSU was guilty of nine penalties, lost two fumbles and had six passes intercepted during the game.

The game was a non- I conference contest. The Western Athletic Conference membership of UNLV, now 3-3 s. on the season, is pending a final vote by the WAC's president's council. The Rams are now 2-4. This is the Rebels' first season as a Division IA football 1.

Tub Bradley and Kenneth Ollie, perhaps, might see a new plant in their senior seasons of 1980-81 same goes for Margie McDonald's Wyoming Cowgirl hoopsters and a my riad of other sports that are play ed in War Memorial Fieldhouse.

jSj LOBBY LOTION There are some close friends to the university who firmly believe the school would have had a new basketball plant and a bionic transplant on War Memorial Fieldhouse twoy ears ago if the university had an effective lobby ist. UW Board of Trustees will deny it, but that is why the school is now looking for a president. It is why they talked President William D. Carlson into taking an early permanent leave, then got his written resignation just in case he might later change his mind. The trustees are committed to bigtime athletics.

That means the new president must be bullish on bigtime athletics and he must also be a bigtime lobby ist. Twenty two million smackeroos is a lot of bread. It takes salesmanship to milk that much out of the legislature. Also, inflation being what it is, the figure will grow by an average of $220,000 each month until the money is on the mahogany. But the immediate problem for the university is to find a president with the credibility to go to Chey enne and do some professional selling.

As it is, the University of Wyoming is without leadership in this capacity. It will not be an easy, or pleasant job for the next UW president. Most academicians detest huckstering for athletic facilities. The bottom line is that they really believe athletics are counterproductive to academics. There are some, though, who believe otherwise.

That's the ty pe of president being sought. Naturally he must have substantial credentials in the academic world. Wy oming's situation is compounded because it doesn't have an athletic director to promote the very facilities he will be in charge of. Football coach Bill Lewis and basketball coach Jim Brandenburg campaign for new facilities as best they can. They mention the need whenever the occasion arises, but what they have to say would be better off said by the guy in charge of the department.

In Wyoming, it seems as though head coaches are charged with the responsibility of promoting facilities. Perhaps they 're hired with that understanding. Coaches, of course, must have excellent facilities or they are not going to be coaches very long. At least not head coaches. But the schools with the best facilities alway have live-wire athletic directors.

They guide and steer athletic facilities to a reality Wyoming is forever sending somebody off to tour excellent facilities. But a building can't talk. It is unable to discuss strategy on how it became a reality They ought to go out and talk with some of those live-wire athletic directors. Wy oming could use one. KICKER Cancer cures smoking.

Lingle wins FORT COLLINS, Colo. (UPI) Junior reserve halfback Bobby Batton scored two touchdowns to lead Nevada-Las Vegas over the error-prone Colorado State Rams 33-6 Saturday.
