WVU Aims to Contain Taft as Marshall Visit Looms
West Virginia coach Butch Haswell says containment of Marshall star John Taft is crucial for the Mountaineers in Huntington where WVU trails 13-5 all time but leads 0-4 in Marshall’s home city. Taft averaged 23.4 points last season as Marshall went 15-13, with Cunningham Vincent Phillips and Cornish aiding. WVU seeks rebound edge after Maryland defeat and faces a tough foe at Henderson Center, then Pitt on the road.

NASCAR cookie races to stores in 1991 rollout
Piedmont Biscuit Co. plans to release NASCAR cookie in early 1991 as a private label snack. The Charlotte bakery, with 110000 square feet and 225 employees, aims to capitalize on niche markets rather than compete with Nabisco Keebler or Sunshine Biscuits. The 12 inch by 2.5 inch cookies, shaped like a race car and Goodyear tire, will hit wholesalers first and supermarkets by January.
