They looked like it Saturday When 1 heard that Lloyd Eaton the head coach didn't make the trip becauee of sickness I thought they'll try to win this one for the man back in Laramie And they did hit the Miners like a tidal wave earthquake typhoon tornado or any ocher disasteraiaking phenomenon According to Wyoming coaches however the Wyoming team wasn't fired up because of the sickness of Eaton don't make speeches to get them said Gustafson get themselves ready for each The Wyoming delegation including athletic director Jacoby lost its cool in the press box because of some of those interference penalties against Wyoming in the second half I think Jacoby complained to Wiles Hallock the Western Athletic Conference commissioner who was here From the Miner side complaints are that the officials didn't call enough interference penalties Wanted to Keep Ball Away From UTEP THE WYOMING GAME plan Baker and Gustafson explained was to put on the big rush against the UT El Paso passers and protect against the bomb we wanted to get that ball hold it and keep it away from the Baker said give them the ball and they're going to The Cowboys did on two occasions show a kit of ball control In their two drives one at the opening of the game and one at the opening of the third quarter the Cowboys kept possession for more than 10 minutes The Wyoming coaches said Hampton who rushed for 157 yards had one of his finest games of the season if not his finest They praised also a number of defensive players including linebacker Jim House sure the old man is glad to have this one" said Baker referring to Eaton With their passing pocket vulcanized the Miners did make a last ditch fight that at least kept everyone in suspense Stewart threw three second half touchdown passes The Miners needed only seven more points to tie They couldn't quite catch up They caught up and passed Brigham Young when they were behind 25-3 But pretty herd to catch up against a team like Wyoming when 0-26 Dobbe points out Wind Kept Miners From Throwing Bomb DOBBS POINTED out that a head wind of some force took the bomb away from the Miners in the fourth quarter Normally by the fourth quarter the wind has become a negligible factor in the Sun BowL But it was too strong for any long distance pitching Saturday A Wyoming kick that went out on the one-yard line nailed the coffin lid on the Orange's hopes in the last couple of minutes But they did comeback end make it (Hose With foe eoora 26-0 against them they could have checked it The Cowboys scored with Hampton going over from the nine on the first long drive They counted their second on 32-yard pass from Jacobson to Gene Huey This was set-up when the surging Cowboys kept Tom Galloway from getting a punt off and took possession in fine Wyoming field position Two field goals one of 33 yards and one of 38 in addition to the touchdowns gave Wyoming a 20-6 halftime lead Then at the opening ef the third quarter the Cowboys made their other -long drive Hampton scoring from the three Stewart threw to Dave Millican (13 yards) and Dave Karns -(22) for touchdowns in the third period And he pitched 14-yard pass to Karns for the third touchdown in die fourth quarter Volly Murphy the best receiver on the Miner teem play at all because of a lame ankle There can only be speculation of how much hie absence deprived the Miners of a good chance to get the necessary seven points to catch up or the necessary eight -to past the Cowboys Is Leon Harden defensive backs The Cowboys won 26-18 (Herald-Post Photo by Bill Thotnp- KNOXVILLE Teim
