Last weekend in Logan LaVell Edwards saw one streak broken as his Cougars downed Utah State, 24-7, for their first win over the Aggies in Edwards' four years. Today he hopes his record won't be broken. He has never lost to the Utes as head coach. BYU shocked the Utes in Salt Lake City three years ago, 16-7, en route to a 7-4 season. Two years ago BYU upset Utah once again, 46-22, and last season in Provo the Cougars belted the Utes, 48-20, en route to a 7-3-1 year and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. This is the 51st meeting beween the two rivals and the Utes hold an incredible edge with a 38-8-4 advantage. But in the last decade the Cougars have won six of the 10 games to gain some respectability against Utah. A BYU win today would give the Cougars the Beehive Boot which Utah State has held all four years the trophy existed. And a victory would keep the Cougars' hopes alive for back-to-back seasons of seven wins which hasn't been accomplished before. That would give Coach Edwards seven victories in three of his four seasons as head coach. BYU comes into the game with a 4-4 record and remaining road games at Texas-El Paso and Southern Mississippi (Jackson). Utah is 1-8 and ends its season next Saturday night at Arizona. Coach Tom Lovat, burdened with a rebuilding situation, enters the game with a 2-18 record as a head coach while Coach Edwards is 23-18-1. Today's game marks the end of college careers at home for 13 BYU seniors but it will be a junior who will be in the spotlight early. Tailback Jeff Blanc picked up 63 yards in one half plus one carry early in the second half last week. He now has 889 yards this season and 1.992 for his career. So by the end of the first quarter the energetic product of Boise's Borah High School should become the third runner in BYU history to pass 2,000 yards. The others are Pete Van Valkenburg (2,392) and John Ogden (2,376). If Blanc's sore ankle presents a problem against the Utes Charley Ah You and Roger Gourley could be pressed into action. Ah You gained 70 yards in less than a half against Utah State as the Cougars got 133 yards from the tailback position. Fullback Todd Christensen has blossomed as a pass receiver and now leads the team with 24 catches. Quarterback Gifford Nielsen continues to complete more than 61 per cent of his passes and is keeping pace with Gary Sheide's Western Athletic Conference record of 60.3 per cent. Under Nielsen's guidance the Cougars were seventh nationally in passing offense last week. Blanc was 10th in rushing and 12th in all-purpose running. Offensive tackle Brad Gates rated an 89 per cent for his performance against the Aggies, the best grade for an offensive lineman since Gordon Gravelle scored 91. Defensive tackle Mekeli Leremia had 12 assisted tackles and a total of 23 defensive points for his effort against USU. Coming up with'interceptions were Craig Jensen, Dana Wilgar and Tim Halverson. Halverson also had a key fumble recovery and Chris Crowe blocked a punt near the goal line to set up another score. Utah's star player is linebacker John Huddleston who has five fumble recoveries and twice as many tackles as anyone else on the team. He is one of only seven seniors on the traveling squad. Eight freshmen have been listed on the two-deep roster the last few weeks. PRESIDENT OAKS The President of Brigham Young University is 43-year-old Dallin Oaks, who assumed the responsibilities of the nation's largest church-related institution of higher learning Aug. 1, 1971. President Oaks, a former professor of law at University of Chicago, replaced Dr. Ernest L. Wilkinson who served as president of BYU for a period of 20 years (1951-1971). President Oaks was born in Provo, Utah, on Aug. 12,1932, a son of the late Dr.LIoyd E. Oaks and Stella H. Oaks.

A year later he entered private law practice in Chicago (Kirkland, Ellis, Hodson, Chaffetz and IVIasters). In 1961 he became associate professor of law at University of Chicago, and was associate dean from IVIay 1962 to Jan. 1963, sen/ing as dean during the last three months of this period. He was also Assistant States Attorney of Cook County (1964) and visiting professor of law at University of Michigan Law School (1968). From January through June 1970, he was on leave of absence to serve as legal and research adviser to the Bill of Rights Committee of the Illinois Constitutional Convention. He became executive director of the American Bar Foundation (1970). Pres. Oaks has been co-editor, co-author, or author of four books dealing with subjects of church and state, trust law, operation of criminal courts in Chicago. He has also authored about thirty articles in leading periodicals and other magazines.

The list includes a quarterback, tailback, defensive end, kicker, two defensive backs, three linebackers and four offensive linemen. Heading the group are Ail-American candidates Orrin Olsen and Brad Gates. Olsen, a 6-2, 245-pounder from Orem, has played defensive end, linebacker and center for the Cougars. He was the only unanimous choice on the All- Western Athletic Conference offensive team last season. Orrin is assured of all-conference honors this season and is the most likely Cougar for national hours. Equally as deserving and a player who could go very high in the pro draft is tackle Brad Gates, a 6-7, 250-pounder from Albany, Ga. Brad has started for three years and been a captain for two seasons. He is strong and quick and has been a big help in opening holes so that Jeff Blanc can lead the league in rushing. Linbacker Phil Jensen, one of BYU's four captains this year, has started since he was a freshman. The 6-1, 210- pounder from Centerville, Utah, attended Viewmont High in Bountiful. He had the second best defensive statistics on the team last year when the Cougars were among the national leaders in rushing defense. A third captain has been safety Gary Shaw, a 6-0, 185- pound graduate of Cottonwood High in Salt Lake City. Shaw has been a three-year starter and has led the secondary in defensive points each season. The fourth captain was Clark Carlson, who headed the specialty teams. He also played behind Jensen was weakside linebacker for the Cougars. He stands 6-1 and weighs 215. Clark is from Thornton, Colo. A key man in BYU's defensive prowess in recent years has been Stan Varner, a 6-4, 245-pound alumnus of Skyline High in Salt Lake City. Stan was the member of BYU's front four in 1974 who didn't get any awards or post-season honors. But he ruined a lot of plays for opposing quarterbacks. This season Stan has had to play both defensive end and defensive tackle and has responded very well. The B'YU leader in defensive statistics this year is middle linebacker Sid Smith. Sid sat out last year and went into this year with little playing experience. But he caught on fast and has been all over the field for Cougars. Sid is 6-2,225 and hails from San Jose, California. Two-year starter Mark McCluskey has played an important role in the BYU secondary despite nursing a foot injury this season. He has been the left cornerback most of the year. Mark, 6-1, 185 is from Redlands, California. Mark Giles has made big contributions to the BYU team both as a quarterback and punter. He ran the team well until being forced out of the fourth game with an injury. And Mark has handled the punting for three years and been among the league's best. Mark is 6-0,190, and comes from Columbia, S.C. Kicker Mark Uselman has provided some timely points for the Cougars with his foot in the last two years as well as starting on the wrestling team. A native of Farmington, N.M., Mark is 5-10, 190. Reserves work as hard as the starters with a lot less credit, except from their teammates. But their competitive effort makes the starters try harder. Three players who have made contributions often behind the scenes are tailback Charley Ah You, offensive tackle Chris Crowe and offensive guard Julian Smilowitz. Ah You, a 5-11, 195-pounder from Laie, Hawaii, has played behind Jeff Blanc for two years, filling in mainly when Blanc was hurt. But Charley performed well and his two touchdowns against New Mexico led the team to its first victory this season. Crowe, from Tempe, Arizona, is 6-3, 225. He played on unbeaten junior varsity teams the last two years in playing the same position as Oates. Although his playing has been limited, his attitude and desire has been a big factor in team morale. Smilowitz, a 6-0, 220-pouner from LaMirada, California, showed his determination in battling back from knee surgery to serve in a backup role his final year. So 13 Cougars will receive blankets from the Provo Elks Club today and they deserve a big hand. The starting lineup lists five seniors on defense and two on offense. They will be missed. But as is the case with a solid program and consistent recruiting, there are a number of undergraduates, redshirts and returned missionaries anxious for a chance to prove themselves in spring practice. Kickers Mark Giles (11) and Mark Uselman (9) are among the BYU seniors closing out their home careers today. 1875 • A FRUrmjLTREE • 1975 CENTENNIAL BRIGHAM VDUNG UNIVERSTTY LOCATION: Provo, Utah (estimated population 50.000) ENROLLMENT: 25.000 (estimated) FOUNDED: October 16, 1875. by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) PRESIDENT: Dr. Dallin H.

CUTRUBUS CHRYSIKKl inLayton T'lymoutu 843 WEST RIVERDALE ROAD Utah's only dealers . . .Paul James The Man Behind The Face His father was fifty when he was born. He contracted rheumatic fever when he was in junior high school and his exposure to sports-of any kind-was zero until after he got marhed. He was introverted and bookish. This capsule profile of Paul James' early life is hardly the setting for the personality which has since emerged. In this second in a series of reports, Paul speaks for himself. Question; As a child what did you want to become? Paul: / didn't really know. When Scarlet Fever left me with a rheumatic fever condition I was, frankfy, at a'loss.'. .My father was a carpenter and had to work darn hard to keep foodin.the house and every night he'd lie exhausted on the floor. I knew I had to find something less grueling to protect my heart. To compound the problem, I was a terrible introvert when I was young. I had fallen from my bike and broken off my two front teeth, so I went around for years never smiling or talking. If you had told me at 15 that I was going to make my living in front of a microphone, I'd call you crazy. The turn-around came at Ogden High School when I registered for a shop class. But when J got my. schedule back, shop was crossed out and.speech had beeh written in. I told the Dean of Men that in no way was I going to get up in front of a speech class. But he said the shop class was filled and that I would have to take speech. .like it or not. So I went. Mary Wooley was the teacher and stie just happened to be one of the greatest speech teachers in the world. In fact, I also had a great English teacher. And these two women-Mary Wooley and Lucille Chambers-probably did more to Influence my life than anybody. That's why I think oft times I would like to be a school teacher because I would like to do for someone what those two ladies did for me. Anyway, I ended up on the debate team and in the school play each year. And my debate partner promoted and got me elected student body president. That accident of getting Into that speech class just turned my whole life around. And I found out I was the biggest ham in the world. Question: When did sports enter your life? Paul: Not for a long time. When I was ten, my father was 60 so I didn't have the traditional parental boost. In fact, I never did anything in the way of sports until after I was married. I had never bowled, golfed, played tennis-had done very little fishing and no hunting-and certainly no footbaH and basketball. 4 O Paul's first job in broadcasting was for a radio station in Brigham City. (Ask him about the first day.) Later, as he was finishing up at the University of Utah, he was offered and accepted a job for two hours a day, seven days a week in the announce booth at KCPX-TV. When the station terminated the sports man, Paul stepped in until a replacement could be found. As it turned out, Paul became the permanent replacement. After several years, he was given an opportunity to do the play-byplay for the University of Utah. Question: Had you ever done play-by-play before? Paul: No, but it was something I had always wanted to do. My first game was between the U and Oregon at Eugene. It was also my first trip on a plane. I got so sick that the players were making book on when I would next throw up. Flying made me sick for about the first five years. Question: How did you feel about your early play-by-play? Paul: Well, I used to tape all my games, then go home and listen to them, trying to find the mistakes and repetitions and determine not to do them again. All sportscasters should tape their games because we ail pick up speech habits and patterns we're not aware of. .1 haven't taped mine for a couple of years now, so I think it's time to start again. Question: What are some of your frustrations when calling a game? Paul: / become frustrated with the fans at basketball and football games who know nothing about the rules of the game yet get angry with an official who makes a proper call against the home team. There are many subtleties in both the game and the rules and if the fans woUld take the time to learn them, they would enhance their own ehjoymentof sports generally. Question: How do you feel about commercials in your broadcasts? Paul: / really can't say that on a college level there is an over-commercialization. These people who buy college sports and make the broadcasts possible are performing one heck of a service. They spend a lot of money. Without sponsors, the college program would suffer. I remember the days when BYU broadcasts were not all sponsored and KSL had to foot the bilL n hurt. Question: If someone approached you for advice, how would you resond? Paul: Sit down and put values where they belong. Find things that make you happy. Simplify your life. 13 BYU Basketball Schedule 1975-76 Nov. 28 Nov. 29 Dec. 4 Dec. 6 Dec. 12 Dec. 13 Dec. 17 Dec. 19 Dec. 20 Dec. 22 Dec. 29 Jan. 2 Jan. 10 Jan. 16 Jan. 17 Jan. 24 Jan. 30 Jan. 31 Feb. 6 Feb. 7 Feb.13 Feb. 14 Feb. 21 Feb. 26 Feb. 28 Mar. 5 Mar. 6 Yugoslavian Provo Australian Nationals Provo University of Pacific Stockton University of Pacific Stockton BYU "Cougar Classic ' Tulsa vs. St. Johns Provo (7 p.m.) Long Beach vs BYU Provo (9 p.m.) BYU Cougar Classic (continued) Consolation Provo (7 p.m.) Championship Provo (9 p.m.) Utah State Logan Nevada-Reno Provo Weber State Provo New Mexico State Las Cruces 30 Old Dominion Tournament (Cornell, Texas, BYU, Old Dominion) Niagara Utah State 'Arizona :•'• "Arizona State "i- "Utah *New Mexico •U.T.E.P. •Wyoming 'Colorado State 'Arizona State 'Arizona 'Utah 'U.T.E.P.

University Ave. PROVO we 11 "Imp you get engaged Coaching Staff i6 There was a time when LaVell Edwards must have had some second thoughts concerning the coaching profession. The Cougars had lost their first three games, then saw a fourth game, a sure victory, slip into a 33-33 tie that left the Cougars with a 0-3-1 record. But in one of the great comebacks of any college season, LaVell, his staff and the Cougar players clawed their way back into contenton, winning the WAC championship and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl in the process. Jhe comeback brought the 45-year old native son coach-of-the- year honors in the WAC (second time in three years as head 'coach at BYU) and nomination for national honors. He also received the coveted Dale Rex award at BYU, and was named Utah's Sportsman of the Year by the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce. In a capping honor LaVell was named to the coaching staff of the West squad for the All-America game this summer at Lubbock, Texas. In a nice-guy contest, even one involving opposing coaches, likeable LaVell would draw a lot of votes. .He's been in the coaching business long enough-more than 20 years-to know the pitfalls of the profession. Yet he remains well received in all quarters and is a comfortable person to be around. Born in Provo and raised in nearby Orem, Edwards comes from a fairly large family. He won all-conference honors for two years and was team captain (center and linebacker) at Utah State before graduating from the Logan school in 1952. After filling a variety of football coaching assignments (military and prep), Edwards joined the staff at BYU in 1962. LaVell served under two different football regimes-as an assistant, and as a specialist in defense His efforts produced notable success. Three years ago last January, LaVell Edwards was named the 11 th head football coach in the school's history. In the three years he has been at the helm. Cougar teams have posted an overall 19-14-1 record. He will be entering his fourth season as head coach this fall. In his first season - in 1972 - he took a team that wasn't given much of a chance for any kind of returns and guided it to a 7-4 record and a tie for second place in the WAC. As a result, he was named coach-of-the-year in the WAC. His second campaign proved to be a slow starter, but the team bounced back to win four of its last five games by large margins. There followed the very rewarding charge of last year. Offensive coordinator is Dave Kragthorpe (Utah State '55), former head coach at South Dakota State who is now in his sixth season at BYU. Serving as coordinator of the defense is Dick Felt (BYU '58) a veteran of seven seasons in pro football, who is now in his ninth year with the Cougars. Defensive Line coach Tom Ramage (Utah State '57), coached at Weber State and Dixie College before joining the staff. Dwain Painter (Rutgers '64), one of the newer members of the staff, joining the ranks last year. Fred Whittingham (Cal Poly '62), played ten seasons in professional ball, and came to BYU in 1973. IMel Olson (BYU 70) will coach the receivers this year after putting in five years as head jayvee mentor. Coaching the running backs is Garth Hall (Utah State '68), who begins his first season with the Cougars after leaving the offensive coordinator's position at Wake Forest. Norm Chow (Utah '68) is the newest member of the staff, joining the Cougars this year to coach the junior varsity team. WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH GOOD LUCK TO THE TEAM AND THE EXCELLENT COACHING STAFF FOR THE COMING SEASON!

The approach of the Centennial Year finds the gridiron sport in a very healthy condition with good potential for future growth. True, it wasn't until late fall that the Cougars could claim any kind of bowl participation. But definite inro.ads have been made in putting the game on a level with the best in the country. Although football-or what was known as football-was played at the Academy around the turn of the century, it was not recognized as an intercollegiate sport until 1922. It had been played on campus prior to the 1900s but was discontinued because of a player fatality. In the 49 seasons it has been on campus since its resumpton in 1922, the Cougars have had a total of 11 head coaches and played over 400 games (no official competition during World War II). The Cougars haven't had any undefeated seasons, but Ott Romney had an 8-1 season (1932), and Tom Hudspeth logged an 8-2 record in 1966. However, several of BYU's players have received national recognition of one kind or another, and many are listed in the national record books. Those of recent vintage include Eldon "The Phantom" Forte (whose number 40 jersey has been retired) who was named to several All-American selections in 1962. Forte, a single-wing tailback, was among the national leaders in total offense for that year. More recently, quarterback, Virgil Carter (1964-66) won a host of honors as an outstanding player from BYU. During his tenure with the Cougars, Carter set three major offensive records. One of those NCAA marks-most yards rushing and passing in one game (599 against UTEP)-still stands. In all, Virgil accounted for 6,354 yards total offensive and was responsible for a total of 68 touchdowns in his three-year career with the Cougars. Carter was also named to the Academic All-American selection for two seasons. One of Carter's favorite targets was Phil Odie (1965-67), who ranks among the top receivers in college ball in receptions, receiving yardage and touchdown catches. Phil ended his career with a total of 181 receptions for 2,548 yards and 25 touchdowns. 4 Y Chris Farasopoulos (1968-70), the Galloping Greek from BYU, led the nation in punt returns and set two NCAA kick-return records in 1969. Kick-returns were also the specialty of Golden Richards (1970-71) who also led the nation in punt returns (1971). Richards is stil listed with three existing NCAA kick-return records. Three years ago Fleet Pete VanValkenburg (1970-72) was the nation's leading rusher, setting several WAC and school records in the process. Pete was named to second and third team All-American selections and played in three post-season games. Linemen of special note in recent seasons include defensive end Jeff Slipp (1969), offensive guard Gordon Gravelle (1970), and offensive lineman Paul Howard (1972). The Cougars win claim two Western Athletic Conference football championships 1965 and 1974. More recently quarterback Gary Sheide finished second in the nation (for the second year in a row) in passing. Last year's defensive linemen Paul Linford and Wayne Baker won special recognition during the 1974 season. Cougar Coaches Coach A. G. Twitchell C.J.Hart G.

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. Shiede fades back during action in Fiesta Bowl " 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.

Tom Lovat Head Football Coach It's a long way from Bingfiam Canyon to tfie head football coachi'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 vvas 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.
