LmmmJ VA 'm -i JTYi b-- rj Mf7 li mJi s--5? kJb i I "1' OA 7 by DWIGHT HURST Cedar City Editor CEDAR CITY Curry Ancar singlehan-dedly slammed the door on a Western State comeback Saturday afternoon. The Southern Utah State College running back broke loose for touchdown jaunts of 80 and 79 yards in the third quarter on the way to a 36-14 SUSC win over the Mountaineers. Ancar, who won Player-of-the-Week honors from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference last week for a 211-yard performance, had 200 yards on 10 carries Saturday against Western State. It is the first time in SUSC history that a running back has had consecutive 200-yard games.

"Curry was the difference in the second half," said SUSC coach Jack Bishop. "And we finally got balanced play from our offense and defense." The Thunderbirds totally dominated the game in the first half. SUSC departed from its standard running attack at the first of the contest and came out throwing. Junior quarterback Kirk Hafen, who completed 17 of the 22 passes he threw in the first half for 250 yards, hit Gordon Raw-linson'with a 17-yard scoring strike with 10 minutes left in the first quarter, and SUSC led 7-0. Rick Harrison connected on a 25-yard field goal with under a minute left in the quarter to boost the T-Bird lead to 10-0.

Hafen continued his aerial blitz in the second period as he hooked up with speedster Rob Watson for a 16-yard touchdown pass and a 17-0 SUSC lead. Hafen capped off the T-Bird scoring in the first half when he dove over from the one yard line with only 30 seconds left on the clock. Hafen's touchdown plunge was set up by a 30-yard completion to wide receiver Rick Snow. Harrison's kick was wide on the point-after, and SUSC took a 23-0 lead at the Tight end Don Enbody hauled in two passes for 36 yards, and Steve Bullard caught two for 15 yards. Mason made two catches for 19 yards.

A stingy T-Bird defense held the powerful Western State offense to just 44 yards on the ground in the first half and 200 for the game. A pair of Mounatineer quar- terbacks, who spent much of the game on their backs, completed only eight of 22 passes for 146 yards. Seale had 107 yards on 23 carries for Western State. SUSC's Kevin Singleton and Doug Snell teamed up on the defensive line for a fine performance. Sophomore Bob Johnson also played well up front for the T-Birds.

"I was very pleased with Danny Bulloch coming off the bench in the third quarter," said Bishop. Bulloch, a 5-10, 195 pound freshman from Cedar City, made a key contribution to shut off Western State's second-half challenge. "That's the best we've ever handled the option," Bishop said. "We were very physi-cal out there today." Bishop said it was the lethargic play of his offense so far this year that prompted him to go to the passing game early in the contest. "We've been so dead in our early game that I felt we had to get something going right away," he said.

The strategy worked as the Thunderbirds rolled up 524 yards in total offense for the afternoon. SUSC is now 3-2-2 overall, and 2-1-2 in RMAC play. Colorado Mines will come to Cedar City next Saturday for the SUSC Homecoming. The T-Birds will be on the road the following week for a matchup with Western New Mexico. They will close out the season at home Nov.

13 against Adams State. Western State looked like it would stage a third-quarter comeback as the Mountaineers recovered a T-Bird fumble on the SUSC 25 yard line and scored six plays later. The Mountaineer touchdown came with 6:50 left in the quarter on a 2-yard run by Sam Seale, and the SUSC lead was narrowed to 23-7. Ancar dashed Western State's hopes, however, when he ran untouched for an 80-yard touchdown on the first play following the Western State kickoff. Harrison's kick made it 30-7 for SUSC.

The Mountaineers staged a 68-yard drive and narrowed the margin to 30-14 as Seale scored his second touchdown of the afternoon, this one from two yards out with 13:48 left in the game. But Ancar wasn't through yet. On second down, from the SUSC 21 yard line, Ancar reversed his field to avoid being trapped for a loss, skirted around right end and raced 79 yards for his second touchdown in two carries. A two-point conversion attempt failed, and SUSC took its game-winning 36-14 lead. "Curry is fantastic," said Bishop after the game.

"What makes it hard is that Gary Mason is every bit as good. We just haven't been getting him the ball." Mason, a 5-9, 190 pound junior fullback, had 39 yards on six carries Saturday. Ancar, a 5-10, 176 pound junior from Port Sulpher, now has over 800 yards rushing for the season, and with three games left on the schedule, is well on his way to a year. Hafen ended the day with 252 yards passing as he completed 19 of his 23 throws. He had one interception.

Hafen threw to eight SUSC receivers, but Snow was his favorite target. The senior from Layton caught five passes for 89 yards. Rawlinson had three receptions for 48 yards and Watson caught three for 36 yards. CEDAR CITY Wide receiver Rick Snow goes to lessly. Snow's catch set up a touchdown that put the ground to haul in a 30-yard pass from South- SUSC on top 23-0 at halftime.

Snow had five ern Utah State quarterback Kirk Haf en in the T- catches for 89 yards in the T-Bird win. (Spectrum Birds 36-14 win over Western State Saturday as Dwight Hurst) Mountaineer defender Steve Beck watches help- NFL strike talks break off BYU triumphs PROVO, Utah (UPI) Steve Young ran for a pair of first-quarter touchdowns and then threw two TD passes to Gordon Hudson in leading Brigham Young to a 34-18 win Saturday over Western Atheltic Conference opponent Colorado State. The win gave six-time defending champion BYU demand to have a fixed percentage of receipts placed in a fund each year that the union would administer on the basis of salaries and bonuses. "He (Kagel) told them the idea was Donlan said. "He talked of a recess last weekend, but they never budged." Members of the union negotiating team denied that Kagel ever attempted to get them off the wage scale demand: Kagel out of town with its impossible demands and of refusing to bargain seriously on wages.

"No one could have done more, and few could have done as much as Sam Kagel did here the past 12 days," Donlan said. "Ed Garvey has written a textbook here the past 12 days on how not to bargain. "They never budged off the wage scale, but worse, their list of non-economic demands was never completed. The first day, they gave Sam a list of non-economic issues for the agenda. Two days later, they changed it.

As late as yesterday (Friday), Garvey changed the pension demands." Donlan and union officials exchanged accusations about the mediator's opinion of union demands and their feelings on whether the 1982 season will be resumed. Donlan said Kagel was opposed to the NFLPA Utah prep playoff slate Here are the pairings for the first round of the Utah State High School Football Playoffs to be held this week.

(UPI) Mediator Sam Kagel, realizing both sides are unalterably solid in their stances on the crucial wage issue, Saturday recessed indefinitely the talks aimed at ending the 33-day-old pro football strike. Kagel, 73, headed back to his San Francisco home after trying unsuccessfully to get either the striking NFL Players Association or the firmly entrenched owners 'to alter their positions.

He said he is available, should both sides desire his services, further. Kagel's pullout made it is obvious that the negotiations, which have solved few disagreements in eight months, are stalemated beyond immediate solution. Neither side would predict when they would resume trying to reach a settlement in the strike that has called off 70 NFL games and almost certainly will wipe out games for next weekend. Jack Donlan, executive director of the NFL Management Council, said he sees no reason to resume talks unless the union changes its stand. "It makes no sense to get back when we are hung up on conceptual issues," Donlan said.

"Some day this strike will be settled, but we won't go back without a change in stance by the union." Ed Garvey, executive director of the NFLPA, said, without much conviction, he expects talks to resume as soon as the NFL owners realize the solidarity of the union. "When Jack Donlan hears from the owners after they hear from our player representatives (who will meet Sunday in Washington), I think they'll take a different approach," Garvey said. "We could meet again as soon as Sunday night." That seemed unlikely, however, since Donlan is reluctant to meet without the mediator who will be in San Francisco Sunday. Donlan called for mediation of the dispute more than a month ago, but the union agreed just two weeks ago. He accused the union of running Betley defends title atDisie Four Seasons sole possession of first place in the WAC standings, a half game ahead of New Mexico.

The Cougars and Lobos are the only teams left in the league race with just one conference loss. Young gave BYU the lead for good in the first quarter when he dashed 13 yards on a quarterback draw and 21 yards on a broken play for his touchdowns. The junior then guaranteed the win with his TD passes of 21 and seven yards to Hudson both in the second half 1 Young, the NCAA totat offense leader, completed 19 passes for 259 yards and rushed for 90 yards in leading BYU to its fourth straight win. Running back Casey Tiumalu gained 81 yards to help balance Young's passing. Hudson, the No.

2-ranked receiver in this year's NCAA standings, had only three catches for 38 yards in the game. Neil Balhom led all BYU receivers with five catches for 123 yards. Despite piling up 516 yards in total offense, the Cougars failed to score twice in the second quarter after marching inside the CSU 10. One drive ended on an incomplete pass on fourth down and the other was halted by a Ram interception in the end zone. Colorado State opened the scoring on a 32-yard field goal by John Poole.

But, Young's two touchdown runs gave BYU the lead for good, 14-3. The Rams then cut the gap to 14-10 at halftime. Bulldogs nab 17th straight INDIAN SPRINGS, Nev. The Virgin Valley Bulldogs clinched a host spot for the zone playoffs Friday night with a 42-8 Southern Nevada A Conference victory over Indian Springs. The win was the 17th in a row for the Bulldogs and boosted their season record to 8-0 and league record to 6-0.

The defending state champions vaulted out to a 35-0 halftime lead as they were never threatened in the game. The Bulldogs scored twice in the first quarter and three times in the second stanza to grab the big lead. Scott Hardy opened the scoring with a 1-yard pass from Scott Brotherson and Brent Leavitt added the PAT. Willie Frehner made it 14-0 when he dashed in from four yards out and Leavitt added the PAT. The second period scoring had Scott Lee scoring two times from one yard out and Leavitt once from the same distance.

Richard Bowler caught a pass from Brotherson for the 2-point conversion on the first score, Leavitt kicked the PAT on the second score, but the run failed following the third score to make it 35-0.

4 SMU tops Texas By United Press International While the top two teams struggled Saturday to remain undefeated, No. 4 Southern Methodist used a bizarre play to capture its 11th straight victory, the longest current winning streak in major college football. Top-ranked Washington, behind Jacque Robinson's 204 rushing yards, edged Texas Tech 10-3 and No. 2 Pittsburgh defeated stubborn Syracuse 14-0. The odd play came at Austin, Texas.

A 79-yard touchdown pass that ricochetted off the shoulder pads of a defender into the arms of SMU receiver Bobby Leach broke a fourth-quarter tie and helped the Mustangs to a 30-17 triumph over No. 15 Texas. The frantic victory, which included a 37-point fourth quarter, helped SMU equal the school's longest unbeaten stretch in 35 years. SMU ran its Southwest Conference record to 4-0, staying apace of No. 6Arkansas, which earlier blasted Houston 38-3.

SMU clawed its way to a 10-point advantage and appeared to have the game in hand early in the fourth quarter after recovering a fumble at midfield. Pokes nip Utes LARAMIE, Wyo. (UPI) Wyoming quarterback Craig Johnson threw touchdown passes to tight ends Jay Novacek and James Williams to lead the Cowboys to a 16-13 win over Utah Saturday. The win boosted the Cowboys' record to 4-4, and dealt a severe blow to Utah's Western Athletic Conference title hopes. The loss dropped the Utes to 2-2 in the WAC and 3-4 on the season.

Wyoming's winning touchdown came on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to Williams with 5:48 left in the game. The score capped an 80-yard drive and was Williams' first touchdown catch of the season. Steve Tobin's point after kick was partially blocked, leaving the Cowboys with a precarious 3-point lead. But the Wyoming defense stiffened, and the Cowboys got the ball back with 5:33 left in the game on an interception by cornerback Darnell Clash. The Wyoming offense then used two key first downs to run down the clock.

The Utes were unable to move the ball past their own 26-yard line on their final possession. The victory for the Cowboys was their second conference win of the season. The came had been tied at 3-3 at halftime. Both But the Mustangs turned the ball over to Texas on a fumble and with 13:57 to go Longhorns' quarterback Robert Brewer threw a 51-yard touchdown pass to Herkie Walls. Texas tied it five minutes later on a 41-yard field goal by Raul Allegre and the Longhorns appeared ready to get the ball back again when the Mustangs faced 3rd-and-9 at their 21.

Mustangs' quarterback Lance Mcllhenny scrambled before hitting Leach. The ball was headed, however, toward a seeming interception because Jitter Fields was cutting in front of Leach. But the ball skipped off Fields' right shoulder pad into Leach's hands. The SMU flanker outran Texas' Jerry Gray to the end zone for the Mustangs TD with 7:37 to play.

Weber falters BOISE (UPI) Sophomore quarterback Gerald DesPres threw for 181 yards and two touchdowns and tailback Rodney Webster added 142 yards on the ground to power Boise State to a 41-21 Big Sky Conference victory over Weber State Saturday night. Both of DesPres' scoring throws were to split end Kim Metcalf who finished the night with 82 yards on offense. DesPres completed 16 of 30 passes and threw one interception to boost the Broncos league record to 3-2 and the season mark to 5-2. Despite 217 passing yards from quarterback Tim Bernal, 72 of them to flanker Gerald Bradley, the Wildcats' mark fell to 0-3 in the Big Sky and 2-5 for the year.
