Park City is a great place to be in the early spring. Where else can one snowmobile to work in the morning and play golf in the afternoon? Having a look around at the Park City sports scene, credit should be given to the hard-core members of the Silver Kicks women's soccer team. Lord knows, the team has had its fair share of adversity, and it has come through it kicking. Most of the time they are playing short-handed against teams that have had twice as much practice.' Also, the other teams often have coaches. What have the Silver Kicks got? So far, a lot of bad weather interrupting the practice schedule. This group of ladies has hung in there way past the point where the old college try would have gone to the showers. But, in the last game they played they had enough players and lately they have been getting some coaching. Maybe the worst is over. They will begin playing play-ing at home this week. Grab a blanket, a soda pop and your sunglasses and wander down to the high school Saturday afternoon and cheer for the Silver Kicks. If anybody deserves being cheered for, it's them. One group of athletes you won't be able to cheer for at home this year are the Park City High School girls' and boys' track team. You may have seen them out running up Swede Alley or through the subdivisions of Park Meadows. That is because they don't have a track to run on. All that will change next year when the long-awaited track will be installed and Bill Kahn and his troops can host all the meets their little hearts desire. But, that doesn't change the fact that this year the Miners are running in the halls, between cars and on other schools' tracks. The only practice they get in many events is during meets. Despite the handicap, the team is improving steadily and will do well at the region meet. OK, so they aren't one of the top five 2-A schools, but hey, give them time. Last week, the boys and the girls both won big meets. The girls won by nearly 200 points. Imagine what they will do next year. Thank God the golf courses are open. This is the time of year when we snowplow skiers can gloat a little when a hotdog skier four-putts a green for a 16. Just because a person can get down a frozen mountain at the speed of sound while getting a great tan, not putting a hair out of place and looking great, doesn't mean he can golf. Which I find extremely satisfying. The Park City Golf Course is in great shape this year and all those involved deserve a pat on the back and a gin and tonic. The back nine is as pretty as can be, and there are very few places on the front nine where the construction of the past is visible. The greens are as infuriating as ever, and all the ponds are so clear you can see the fish swimming around your lost ball. Golfing in the springtime spr-ingtime in the mountains is something that should not be missed. Speaking of golfing, another group of athletes who deserve mention is the Park City High School golf team. This team is so young they could still get away with hitting hit-ting off the ladies' tees. We're talking freshmen and sophomores here. If they were any younger, they would need an adult to be allowed to tee off. But, the team is steadily improving and Coach Paul Willard is looking forward to the future of the golf team with about as much anticipation as he looks forward to the future of the school's basketball team, which he also coaches. In a couple of years don't be surprised if his two teams are in the top five in the state in both sports. Willard will deserve some sort of prize for doing so well, but I think being the golf coach is possibly reward enough. All those long hours playing some of the nicest courses in the state. Poor guy. I'm not exactly sure what the director of skiing at the Park City Ski Area does, but it is a feather in Craig Badami's cap that he was able to get Holly Flanders to do the job. Flanders will bring international prestige to the Park City Ski Area, something that Badami is constantly con-stantly striving for. The addition of Flanders to the ski area and to Park City Ci-ty itself can only be positive. So what if Badami created a job for her? It's just another in a long list of efforts by Badami to upgrade the ski resort and put it on the international inter-national map. He deserves congratulations for hiring Flanders, and for all his efforts in recent years to improve im-prove the Park City Ski Area. Murnrcraiy hi Spaoirits by Jim Murray Olympian with gloved fist to run again after boycott I guess Tommie Smith was the best pure runner I have ever seen. Carl Lewis may have more power and Jesse Owens might have had more sheer driver. Mai Whitfield may have come close. But no one floated around a track more effortlessly than Tommie Smith. He was like a swan swimming, a bee flying. Something you could paint. Write verse about. As born to run as a 3-year old colt. He deserves to be remembered for that. If Tommie Smith, the runner, had grabbed up the American flag that day in Mexico City in 1968 and done a victory lap around the track, there's no telling where he might be today. The Statehouse is not out of the question. Instead, there are people who thought it should have been the big house. Instead of draping himself in Old Glory, Tommy Smith wrapped himself in controversy. He stood on the victory stand, shoeless, and raised a black-gloved fist in the air while the national anthem was being played and the Stars and Stripes raised. That's the image everyone remembers. As protests go, it wasn't much. Smith didn't hurl his gold medal back in the faces of the presenters. He didn't douse the Olympic torch or hijack the shotpiitters or spray graffiti on the halls of Montezuma. He was just trying to remind everybody that the land of the free had also been the home of the slave. It was something he had to do. But white America was scandalized. Tommie Smith had desecrated a sacred movement. He moved into the spot in the public mind with the guy who shot Lincoln. They called for retribution. They demanded quarantining. quaran-tining. The recollection of what he had done trailed him wherever he went. There were stints with a pro football team, the Cincinnati Bengals. There were stints in the car washes and car lots. He had a master's degree in sociology but he was like a man without a country. It wasn't as if he needed a presidential pardon. Tommie Tom-mie Smith had never knocked over a liquor store or stolen a hubcap in his life. He had never done anything outside the law, not even double-parked. But he came into public view so ostracized that people who didn't know what he had done assumed he had taken the Lindbergh baby or poisoned aspirin bottles. Tommie couldn't understand it. "Hey!" he protests. "People thought I hated all whites, that I was of an anti-honky frame of mind. I hated the system, not a people." He feels as if he deserved to be remembered for his race the one on the track, not the one he was born into. For, if the home run belongs to Babe Ruth, the knock punch to Lee Louis, then the 200 meters belongs to Tommie Tom-mie Smith. His race at Mexico City that October day in 1968 was more than historic it was epic. It didn't deserve to be drowned in politics. Tommie Smith swept down to the finish line that day so far in front that he was able to throw his hands into the air 10 yards from the finish and exult as he went across the line almost with the brakes on. He broke the world and Olympic records, but there's no telling what his time might have been if he hadn't stopped to gloat. His 19.83, which stood for 16 years, might have been a 19.6 or even 19.5 if he had been healthy and blase. But he was so elated at having overcome a severe groin pull and the best sprinters in the world that he finished like a boxer who has just won a 15-round decision deci-sion for the championship of the world. Hardly anyone remembers that Tommie Smith. It's Tommie Smith, the angry young man, who comes clearest into focus. Tommie Smith never was that angry. He was carrying coals for demagogues like the sociology professor Dr. Harry Edwards and for his own firebrand ex-wife, Denise, who thought he hadn't even gone far enough. They wanted total boycott of the Games, not a symbolic sym-bolic wave of a glove, and it was only narrowly, in a pre-games pre-games meeting in Denver, that Smith and John Carlos, his fellow victory-stand protestor, had talked some of their fellow athletes out of withdrawal from the Olympics Olym-pics altogether. The son of Texas cotton farmers, Tommie Smith, who grew up in Lemoore, Calif., could never forget what running run-ning had done for him gotten him out of a lifetime of stoop labor. He was not about to throw his gold medal up for grabs among some European plodders who couldn't have come within tenths of a second of him on a track. Tommie Smith got the approval where it counted most. When he came home from the Olympics, his father, who had spent a lifetime picking cotton in the broiling sun, greeted him gravely. The Smith family, which had never done anything to society but give it a day's work, had been recipients of hate mail, to say nothing of envelopes of manure in the mail box. "Son, they tell me you done something down there, that you shook your hand in the air," the father said. "Is this right?" Recalls Tommie: "When I said I had, my father just reached over and shook my hand. 'Well,' he said, 'you done right.' "I was kind of choked up because that was the first time I remember my father touching me. We were not a very touching family, and my father never hugged me. But I could tell he was proud." The racing Establishment was not so understanding. Tommie Smith never ran another race. He will run in one May 17, during the Pepsi Invitational Invita-tional at UCLA's Drake Stadium. He will compete in a special Legends 100 against Olympians like Randy Williams and Leon Coleman, and politicoes like Sen. Alan Cranston. Smith, now 41 and the track coach at Santa Monica City Ci-ty College, is shortly contemplating shifting careers again to join the Sports Medicine, Education and Research Foundation, known by the acronym SMERF. Does he regret not cloaking himself in Old Glory at Mexico City and leaving the protesting to street crowds in the nation's capital or the sloganeers on campuses? "No," says Tommie Smith. "I wanted to make a statement, state-ment, and it seemed the time and the place for it. I'll say this: It got noticed." Indeed it did. So much so that it overshadowed the achievement that made it all possible. Doesn't Tommie Smith sometimes wish that somebody, instead of calling attention to the gloved-fist tableau that set off a spiral of Olympic protests and boycotts and worse, would also note, "Oh, by the way, this young man also set an Olympic standard thai would last for 16 years and a world standard that would last for 12?" "Yes," admits Smith. "And also that I once set 11 world records and held records in every distance from 100 yards to 400 meters and jumped 25 feet in high school." He would like to get to the point where, when someone would mention Tommie Smith, the observation would be: "Oh, yeahl He ran the greatest foot race ever seen I" rather than "Tommie Smith? Didn't he burn the American flag or something at Mexico City once?" (c) 1986, Los Angeles Times. Distributed by Los Angeles Times Syndicate. s
