Salt Lake Citys Bonneville Golf Course was and it saved that horrible excursion lip nearby slow Emigration Canyon to whatever snowmobile courses were available. Most of the snowmobilers seemed to be sensible in their ways of play. All went well until some of the souped-u- p race machines came upon the layout and roared in and out among the recreationists. One lad was injured in a crash with a racing-typ- e machine. There was unnecessary noise for the neighbors. It didnt take long for the racing machines to bring about a closure of the golf course to all further snowmobiling. To patrol that small percentage the whole of the sport had to be restricted. I mention this because it is the pattern of things sure to come. Racing machines are roaring up and clown the quiet canyons. They buzz the areas where there are winter homes where people have picked their place tor the peace and quiet that wintertime affords them. By GEORGE - u Snowmobile people are aware of this and trying to do something about it. They might accomplish their goals before the sport is spurned by the cit:zenry.

In other words, the members are people who believe that there are good things to come from snowmobiling if everyone knows that it is expected of him. One of the best things they do is to warn othto mark danger areas, petition ers of dangers for help for new trails, assist in providing public lands for winter recreation, and assist private interests in the protection of their premises.

Coach Jack Gardner of Utah doesnt think of Coach Ned Wulks Sun Devils in that way, however. Gai clners scared stiff every-tim- e he goes to Arizona country. Nothing is standard unfavorites seldom win less they own the boards they play on. Utah is ready for the tun. But the Ute coach hopes for another effort like his men played in the second half ol the Caliioniia game. That was the best offensive and demn-si- e effort of the Utah jear. All players are healthy at Uteville and following that BYU win last Saturday there is a certain amount of happiness around the new Wigwam. Utah has scouted Arizona State seveial times this year. Jerry Pimm, assistant to Coach Gardner has seen ASU in two games. He says ASU has the makings of a master machine. Jerry says they have some talented personnel and Coach Wu'k is waiting for the tune when it clicks. The fact that ASU lost the first eight games and won the last three indicates that the Devils are on the Drive. Utah's concern is with three or four men in particular. Gerhard Schreur is an old timer at ASU a senior. Sealiern Hill was their candidate the past two seasons, has some conference honors. all- Ron Johnson, a third senior, has been in the WAC spotlight for three seasons and one of the most respective men in the league. All three are inside men forwards and centers. Coach Wulk, in his effort to find the first force, has stinted 12 men in the 11 games hes gone right down his list. Wiih three straight victories the Sun Devils seem to have found the force. The Arizona games will be played at 8 p.m. South Highs scrappy Cubs will be looking up this year and it is like coach George Souvall put it following the West clash at South Tuesday a pat on the back for people who continually make our sports pleasureable. But it is a note to warn the abuser that the majority is the frowning upon him and that if he doesn t join sensible society hes going to cwn a snow machine and no place to put it. night: Its like I told you.

Arizona is a deliberate offense team by historical pre-seaso- n choice of Coach Bruce Larson. BYU may become a deliberate offense team . . . but not by choice. r The early offence patterns which usually helter-skelte- typify Stan Watts-coache- d Cougars, have not paid of in high tallies for this seasons crew. BYU is scoring at an 80.0 point clip per game. The Cougars have not yet hit the century mark and have scored in the 90s three times. There is one thing about it, though. Arizonas patient style of play should not bother the Cougars as much as it has in the past. The Cougars will be slowing down from a trot, instead of a run. And the shock should be less.
