The Big Eight once again is bragging that it's the toughest football conference in the country and the statistics after three weeks of play would seem to indicate exactly that. The Big Eight teams stand 22-2 in non-conference games thus far. Last Saturday the Utes got a look at the Big Ten and Indiana University and left impressed after losing 31-7 for their sixth straight loss and 15th in the last 16 games. The discouraging factor in that first road trip was the fact that the Utes moved the ball consistently throughout the game (321 yards total offense), ran more plays (79 to 69 for Indiana) and moved inside the 20 yard line six times and failed to score a point. "They haven't stopped us yet," observed a dejected Ute head coach Tom Lovat after the game. "The problem is, we haven't stopped them either." The Utah defense gave up 471 yards Saturday, including 291 passing, and after three games is allowing an average of 416 yards per game. 'We'll be taking a long look at our defense this week and perhaps some changes will be the result," said Lovat. "Offensively, we need to stop the fumbles and we really don't need to look much farther. The offense did a fine job of moving the ball last week." Sophomore quarterback Pat Degnan (6-1, 185, Whittier, Calif.) had another strong performance against the Hoosiers with 11 completions in 28 attempts for 155 yards. At least six other passes were dropped by Ute receivers. After three games, Degnan's totals are 41 completions in 75 attempts (.547 per cent) for 495 yards. Last week Degnan ranked fifth in the nation in passing and was tied for 13th in total offense. Sophomore tailback Steve Peake (6-0, 175, Salt Lake City) had his second straight 100 yard plus rushing performance with 144 yards on 24 carries against Indiana. Peake now has 280 yards on 61 carries in three games (4.6 yards per carry). Fumbles continue to be Peake's No. 1 problem . .if he can end that tendency he appears destined to become one of the school's best tailbacks in recent years. The Cyclones will come to Utah highly favored. The Ute coaches this week were warning that Iowa State has more offensive thrust out of its veer offense than any of the Utes' first three opponents. Iowa State lost its opener to UCLA 21-37 and has won a pair against Air Force (17-12) and Florida State (10-6). In the three games to date, Iowa State has amassed 1,084 yards (365 per game average). A pair of superb runners-senior fullback Wingender (6-1, 204) and halfback Mike Williams (5-11, 191, Jr.)-both are averaging over 100 yards per game. Quarterback Buddy Hardemann (6-0, 181, So.) prefers the run but has been brilliant when he needs the pass by completing 13 of 21 passes for 167 yards. This will be the third meeting between the two schools- Iowa State leads 2-0 after wins in 1970 (16-13) and 1972 (44-22). Tom Lovat Head Football Coach It's a long way from Bingham Canyon to the head football coach's chair at the University of Utah, but Tom Lovat has bridged the gap across the Salt Lake Valley with relative ease. When the 36-year-old Lovat was named to head the Ute program in January of 1974, he became the first native Utahn and the first Utah alumnus to ever fill the post of head football coach at the University. Lovat is a native of Bingham, Utah. He graduated from Bingham High School in 1957 where he earned nine letters in football, basketball, and baseball. He was an All-State selection in football in 1956 and the next year was named to All-State teams in both football and baseball. He entered the University of Utah in 1957 where he graduated in 1961 with a B.S. degree in physical education. Lovat also holds a M.S. degree in physical education with an education administration minor which he received from Utah in 1968. During his career at Utah, Lovat played both football and baseball. He was a two-year starter in football as a guard and linebacker and was an All-Skyline Conference selection his senior year as a catcher on the Ute baseball team. He received the James Moss Award for outstanding scholarship and athletic ability and was elected a member of the Beehive Honor Society. The popular Ute coach began his coaching experience at Mt. Eden High School in Hayward, California in 1961 serving as offensive and defensive line coach. The next year he moved to Jordan High School in Sandy, Utah where he served until 1964 as offensive and defensive backfield coach. That year he was named Head Football Coach at Salt Lake's Hillcrest High School where he remained until 1967. In 1966 his Huskies posted an 8-1-1 record in winning the Region III championship. Lovat moved on to the college coaching level in 1967 when he became the defensive line coach for Mike Giddings at Utah. The next season Lovat moved north to Idaho State where he served two years as defensive backfield coach and one year as offensive line coach. In 1971 Lovat decided to give the pro ranks a try moving to the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League where he served as a defensive coach until returning to Utah three years ago as defensive line coach under Bill Meek. Lovat and his wife, the former Sylvia Lyn Boren of Bingham, are the parents of a daughter, Johna Rae, 11, and two sons, James Matthew, 7, and Mark Andrew, 5.

DAVID P. GARDNER, President - one of the most articulate authorities on higher education in America - became the 10th president of the University of Utah, August 1, 1973. The 41-year-old educator developed his administrative expertise in the University of California system, moving rapidly from alumni field and scholarship director on the Berkeley campus in 1960 to vice president of extended academic and public service programs for all nine UC campuses in 1971. Born March 24, 1933, in Berkeley, California, Dr. Gardner attended public schools in his hometown, and was graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelors in 1955. He returned to California to earn his M.A. degree in political science and Ph.D. degree in higher education from UC Berkeley in 1959, and 1966, respectively. Dr. Gardner became assistant chancellor at the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1967, at the same time launching his scholarly career with a faculty appointment in education and the publication of his widely acclaimed book. The California Oath Controversy. As a top UC administrator he was also responsible for overseeing University of California Extension programs, which in 1971-72 involved 330,000 persons. In becoming the 10th president of the University of Utah, Dr. Gardner pledged himself to "excellence, distinction and vigor in the academic program." Dr. Gardner is married to the former Elizabeth Jane Fuhriman of Piedmont, California. They have four daughters. JAMES R.

Cherkas Lends Experience To Front Four Although Ute defensive tackle Ron Cherkas is a senior, was a second-team All-Western Athletic Conference selection at his postion last year, and is rated one of the top defensive linemen in the area this season, he feels he is still learning about the game of football. "I feel that I am improving every game," he says. "Right now I am much better than I was last season and I hope by the end of this season to be much better than I am right now." Cherkas thinks that his improvement is not going to end with this season. "I figure that I won't reach my potential during my career at Utah. If I get a chance to play pro football I think in three years I'll be a lot better than I am right now." If Cherkas is better in three years than he is right now, the offensive linemen and backs in the Canadian Football League (where Ron plans on spending his pro career) better watch out. Last season the big (6-4, 240) tackle was fourth on the team in total tackles with 57 and was one of the most feared defensive tackles in the WAC. This season Ron is the leader of a defensive line that features noseguard Kevin Harrison and tackle Brett Norseth. Harrison, like Cherkas, is a senior while Norseth is a sophomore. The two seniors have the experience on the sophomore but Norseth has been doing extremely well. One of the reasons for Norseth's success is the fact that Ron tries to teach the younger players by example as well as by passing out a few pointers. "All the younger players look at the older players," explains Ron, "and if they see that I am working hard in practice or in a game they will follow my example. Being a senior I can't believe how much influence I have on the younger players. I try to calm them down before a game and help them with techniques in practice." Cherkas is the first one to admit, however, that he is not perfect in his own techniques and tries to improve them every day. "The biggest trouble I have is finding the ball once the play has started." He explains: "Unless the play goes right over my hole I usually end up in the backfield after I have beaten my man, looking for the ball. If the play is going away from me I have to read the block and determine which way to move. Sometimes even when you figure out which way the play is going it is still hard to determine who has the ball. If it is a triple option play, for instance, anyone of three players could be handling it." Ron credits experience with helping him overcome this problem and thinks he is improving on it every day. One of Ron's problems in gaining football knowledge was the lack of expertise of his high school coaches. He is from Kamsack, Saskatchewan, Canada where his father runs a large grain farm, and at Kamsack High School football was not the number one subject. "The coaches took the plays and techniques right out of a book before they would come to practice," remembers Ron. "About the only thing I learned in high school football was how to put on my pads." After graduation Ron played one year of junior league football where he perfected some of his game. Present Utah coach Tom Lovat, who was coaching in the CFL at the time, saw Cherkas and recommended him to Bill Meek at Utah. The Utes were interested in the big tackle but his grades weren't good enough to make the entrance requirements so Meek and his staff sent Ron off to Gavilan Junior College in Gilroy, California, to play under a former Ute player Ed Johnson who was the head coach there. "After my last year at Gavilan," says Cherkas,"there were several other schools interested in me and since they were in the process of picking the new coach at Utah, I figured I would consider all offers until I found out who got the Utah job. When Coach Lovat was named as the head coach there was no question on coming to Salt Lake City." The decision, as it turned out, was right for Cherkas and certainly right for Utah because it's better to have someone of Ron's quality perfecting his technique for you rather than against you.

Tfie decision to revive tfie band was made jointly by President David P Gardner, tfie Alumni Association and University Relations in response to widespread campus and community interest. The former marching band, which was discontinued in 1971, was completely student funded until the Associated Students of the University of Utah (ASUU) voted to eliminate its budget. The new band will be supported without student or state-appropriated funds. Dr. Charles Bestor, music department chairman, is heading a five-member search committee for the band director. Other members are: Dr. Forrest D. Stoll, director of bands; James R. Jack, director of athletics; Arnie Ferrin, assistant to the vice president for University Relations and Neal Hancey, director of regional programming for the Alumni Association. A student is now being named to the committee to represent ASUU. Dr. Bestor said the committee hopes the new director will be on campus in time to assume responsibility for the pep band during this year's football and basketball season. Organization of the marching band will begin this year with its public debut scheduled for the 1976 football season. Initially, Bestor envisions a 100-piece marching band, but he says it could "ultimately become a 150-200 piece size." The band will change its format for performance at basketball games. The University will have been without a marching band for five years when the group returns next fall. During the interim period, high scool bands have been invited to perform at U games, but Athletic Director Bud Jack says calls and letters have been increasing from students, faculty, alumni and community spectators asking for the return of the U Marching Band. "A marching band creates tremendous enthusiasm for the team," says Mr. Jack. "It boosts the morale of our athletes and generates a feeling of esprit de corps." Avery L.

Dr. Bestor says "the addition of the marching band to an already strong wind and brass program will add a significant new dimension to the University of Utah music program, particularly in the area of music education.' In the late '50s, the University of Utah Marching Band received rave notices after appearances in such places as the Los Angeles Coliseum, the University of Washington at Seattle, and the University of Missouri.

Cal and Jim are the men responsible for the Ute equipment for all the sports and it has to be one of the biggest jobs on campus and also one of the most important ones. As you can see by the cover, the two men had quite a job putting the new Ute decals on more than 60 football helmets this fall, but as you can see for yourself by looking on the field,; it was worth it. Although they are the unsung men of the department, their job has to be done right before any team can take the field or the court. Because of their close contact with the Ute athletes they have spent uncountable extra hours helping athletes with problems other than equipment, and there is not a person who has passed through the Ute equipment room who would trade his association with Jim Syndergaard and Cal Woolly, probably the two best at their jobs in the country.

Layton, Utah Dallas, Texas Fiesta Bowl The question was always being asked-Would the Fiesta Bowl survive if a non-Arizona team would win the WAC championship and the Fiesta berth that goes along with it? It took Brigham Young University to prove that a non-Arizona team could produce a sellout crowd last year, when the Cougars and 10,000 of their Utah fans came to town after winning the WAC championship in 1975 and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl. The Cougar's first appearance in the Fiesta Bowl was a losing one (16-6 to Oklahoma State), but not until quarterback Gary Sheide was forced to the sidelines with a separated shouler in the first quarter. Up until that time the Cougars had dominated the contest and held the lead. This year the Cougars will once again be one of the eight teams vying for a berth in the Fiesta Bowl again and a chance to play in America's fastest-growing bowl game. Since that first game in December of 1971 the Fiesta Bowl is already boasting a $200,000 payoff, sellout crowds every season, unequalled hospitality for visiting teams, a CBS Network television contract and the Rocky Mountain's largest festival. In 1970 the Fiesta Bowl was merely an idea. Many conference officials were noticing that WAC teams were being shunned by major bowls, despite good records, and thought perhaps the WAC should have its own post-season classic. That idea, nurtured by former WAC commissioner Wiles Hallock and present commissioner Stan Bates, became a reality in 1971 when the Fiesta received NCAA sanction. And all of a sudden, a 1970 idea has turned into a well-established, fast-growing post-season classic with the following credentials: -The Rocky Mountain area's largest festival. Besides the game, 25 events are staged in the Phoenix area, including a parade which drew 84,000 spectators and featured spectacular floats, equestrian units, speciality entries-and bands. The bands came from all over the nation for the first Fiesta Bowl National Pageant of Bands and played in the Parade and provided a massive halftime show with almost 2,500 musicians on the field making the pageantry as an important and enjoyable part of the "show" as the game itself. -Sellout crowds watched the last four years. The Rose and the Fiesta are the only bowls to claim that distinction. -Increased payoffs to competing teams each season. In 1971, $168,000 went to the competing teams. That figure has grown steadily to the $200,000 milestone reached for the 1974 game. The key to the success of the football game has been a happy marriage between the WAC and the Bowl. 18 "Because of our conference tieup, we are almost assured of a high-ranked team and we are getting a conference champion every year," 1975 Bowl President George Isbell said. "And we are making sure that the exciting, wide-open style of WAC football is getting exposed to a large nation-wide audience," said WAC Commissioner Stan Bates. - A national network contract. CBS signed on with the Fiesta for the 1974 game to televise the Fiesta before a large nationwide audience, the Bowl's most important milestone since receiving NCAA sanction for the game itself in 1971. -Unequalled hospitality. "The most wonderful reception and hospitality ever extended us during our athletic experiences," is what Stan Watts, Director of Athletics at Brigham Young said after the 1974 game. And from BYU's opponent, Oklahoma State, President Robert B. Kamm had this to say after the 1974 event: "Mrs. Kamm and I have enjoyed the hospitality of several bowl organizations through the years, and we've never been welcomed or treated more cordially." Dr. Kamm and Watts joined a long line of officials who have applauded the Bowl for its hospitality. It's all because the whole state of Arizona believes in giving competing teams first-class treatment. 'The Valley people-bus drivers, hostesses, officials-outdid themselves making us feel welcome and at home,' said OSU Coach Jim Stanley's wife Sylvia after the 1974 visit. The Stanleys were among 16,000 visitors who hit the Valley last year during Fiesta week, creating the biggest festival atmosphere the Rocky Mountain area has ever seen. Many of them took in some of the other events outside the game, including the Parade, Kickoff Luncheon, Plaza Fiesta and various other Fiesta sporting events. Last year over 2,000 athletes competed in 14 Fiesta athletic events. Among them are a national junior tennis tournament, which brings many of the top junior stars in America to Arizona, and a 26-mile marathon race which saw three world records set in 1974. The impetus behind the Fiesta comes from the Bowl's policy-making Board of Directors, led by President Isbell in 1975. Following the lead of the Board, the entire state of Arizona has joined to back the phenomenal growth of the Bowl. The Bowl boasts 3,140 corporate and family members, whose annual dues provide the revenue to keep the Bowl operation going. And another $32,690 is donated by the state's businesses to sponsor various events and awards that surround the classic. The bowl, aided by the community, is supporting a worthwhile charity, too. Thus far, $50,000 has been donated to the NCAA for its drug fighting program aimed at high school and college-age youth. This year the Bowl flew to Phoenix 12 of the nation's top athletes and National Football Coach of the Year Grant Teaff to film anti-drug television spot announcements which will be seen both regionally and nationally.

No gently rolling hills or grassy knolls here. This is canyon country with a four-season climate and ready access to the outdoors. Six world-famous resorts within 45 minutes of the campus become Winter and Spring quarter classrooms for the largest college ski program in the nation. Salt Lake City, a progressive urban and industrial center (population 565,759) at the crossroads of the West, is five minutes away. Campus and community are complimentary. Students relate to the social, political and cultural life of a growing metropolitan area, and citizens share in the varied activities of the "city within a city." The University of Utah perpetuates the state's tradition of excellence in education - in innovative rather than conventional ways. Although it is the oldest state university west of the Missouri River, it is invigorated, not encumbered, by this heritage. It is free to experiment - to implement new ideas in structure, curriculum and policies. The University functions as a participatory democracy. Decisions which affect its course are cooperatively made by faculty, student and administration representatives. This open communication, tempered by sound dedication to rationality, makes the University of Utah a good place to grow. University of Utah life is as diverse as the 24,000 individuals who live it. Students from Utah's 29 counties, all 50 states and 71 different countries make their own happenings in an atmosphere of responsible freedom. Within a world as personal as their circle of friends and chosen outlets of self-expression, students contribute individually in student government, sports, theatre, music, dance, art, political and social groups and religious programs. The Utah student body enjoys traditional events like Contemporary issues, weekend stomps, football cheering sections and Sunday concerts - jazz and otherwise, and is intrigued by the here-and-now-world of Ralph Nader, Bernadette Devlin, Maxwell Taylor, Coretta King, Burt Bacharach, Dionne Wanwick and scores more news makers. In a climate of dynamic independence, strongly supported by staff and faculty interest. University of Utah students work in individual ways toward the goals of self-reliance, economic self-sufficiency and the critical judgment crucial to the decision-making life ahead of them.

It wasn't because the 187 pound sophomore couldn't make the varsity lineup. Instead, Luther was ineligible to play due to a technicality resulting from his mistaken signing of two national letters of intent out of Valdosta, Ga., High School. "I was depressed about being ineligible," Blue recalls, "but I knew my time was coming and, besides, I was having fun beating the regular defensive backs on the scout team." Blue's ineligibility was lifted for Iowa State's third game and the rest is recorded statistically. He finished second nationally to USC's Anthony Davis in kick-off returns with a 32.8 average and was fourth, despite missing those two games, in Big Eight receiving. Few athletes have gained a reputation as a game-breaker faster than Blue, whose dazzling runs and catches have made him a home crowd favorite. His 83-yard touchdown return on the second half kick-off was a key to Iowa State's 23-18 win over Kansas State last year and he also provided the bulk of ISU's offensive punch in several other contests. "I think I am going to break all my runs,' Blue admits, "but there are a lot of things that enter into a big play. Blocking is the most important and last year I was fortunate to have the best. Then there is a certain amount of instinct involved when you see a hole develop. Lots of times it's those 'little things' at the end of a run that are the difference between breaking it and being stopped." One such "little thing" that Blue refers to is a tackle-hungry defender; another would include his speed and quickness. He admits to a 100-yard dash in the 9.7 area and a 40-dash in 4.5 seconds. Don't mistake Blue for a self-impressed athlete, he's probably the farthest thing from it. Any mention of his personal statistics or success draws a bashful smile. Blue will be adding to his responsibilities in 1975. Last year he played at split end and returned kick-offs. This year he will move to flanker where it is hoped he will handle the ball more and also return punts along with the kick-offs. "There is a lot more to returning punts than kick-offs," he says. "When returning punts you have to watch the tip of the ball to see if it will fall short or carry deep and then you have to mesh quickly with your blockers. With kick-off returns you don't have to judge the ball as much and there is more time to watch the blocking develop." Blue's responsibilities with the Cyclones are similar to another former Valdosta High School star-Willie Jones of Iowa State's 1971 Sun Bowl and 1972 Liberty Bowl teams. Both were wide receivers, returned kicks and were big-play specialists. Luther knows things will be different for him in 1975. No longer is he a secret weapon, instead he is a marked man. And no longer will he challenge Cyclone defensive backs from the scout team. He's on the varsity to stay. Earle Bruce won his 100th career victory during the 1974 season, but the third year Cyclone coach could well be on the verge of even better things. Iowa State will dedicate its beautiful 50,000 seat stadium this fall and that, plus the totally new office, training and locker facilities could be just the boost the Cyclones need to turn the corner in the rugged Big Eight Conference. Bruce's first two years at Iowa State had their moments-including a 17-7 victory over Missouri in 1973 that Earle still remembers as his biggest coaching win-but there has also been the frustration of near-misses. The Cyclones have lost no less than seven games during Bruce's tenure by a total of just 21 points, which would have turned both years into winning campaigns and possible bowl bids. Bruce came to Iowa State in 1973 after coaching the University of Tampa for one year-that a 10-2 campaign and a Tangerine Bowl victory. Prior to that, his coaching experience was in Ohio. Earle was an all-state gridder at Allegany High School in Cumberland, Md., and graduated from Ohio State in 1953. He played freshman ball there but an injury ended his playing career and he spent three years as a student assistant. His fist coaching job was at Mansfield High School as an assistant for three years. His head coaching debut was at Salem, Ohio in 1956, and in four years he produced a 28-9 mark. From there it was on to Sandusky High where in his first year he was named Ohio's "Coach of the Year." In four years there he was 24-3-3 and in 1963 again was named the state's top prep coach. Bruce's final high school assignment was at Massillon High School, and in two years he compild a perfect 20-0 mark and won his second straight "Coach of the Year" award. He became an assistant at Ohio State in 1966, coaching the defensive backs for two years and the offensive line for four more. Earle, the father of four daughters, received a master's degree from Kent State in 1963.
