Show WEEKLY REFLEX-DAV- NEWS JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 18. 1976 IS Clear Lake What Goes On At Football Games? By DAVE WIGHAM Have you ever stopped and just listened to what goes on at a football game nowadays and wondered what a person who has never seen a game would think of what was happening? SUPPOSEDLY, I know a little about what is going on and some of the things I hear are a mystery to me. But try to picture someone who has never seen a game sitting through this sequence. The home team crowd is sitting there yelling to their team, Holdem team, hold them. The visiting team throws a pass which no one catches, but wait a minute, one of the four men in the black and white shirts has a yellow dropped handkerchief on the ground. THE ANNOUNCER forms the crowd that the home team has been called for holding. That seems a little strange to this person, the players were just doing what they were told to do by the crowd and now theyre penalized for their actions. The one thing that really gets to this newcomer to the sport is when the men in the striped shirt throw the flag. One time a player tries running through the line and almost gets his head taken off and nothing is said; but then in- Kevin Hamblin, 16, bagged this nice four point buck opening weekend while hunting with his father, Duane Hamblin. They were in Cottonwood Canyon above the Browning Arms plant when Kevin got the deer with the first shot of his first hunt.

Just before the end of the half and the end of the game when the big scoreboard clock reads 2 minutes remaining, these men in the stripes go over and tell the poor coaches that there is two minutes left in the half or the game. Just think of those poor coaches who must be blind not to be able to see the clock and how much time is left. THEN COMES the question that most people who are witnessing a football game for the first time ask. If only 11 men are allowed on the field, and there is a defense and an offense which adds up to 22 players, what do the other 50 players standing on the sidelines do? They are then'informed besides being an offense defense there are also that and the kick-of- f team, the kick receiving team, the punting team and the punt return team. All these for the purpose of resting people, but why do they need rest when after 15 seconds of action they are allowed 30 seconds to get DEVELOPMENT began in on this 4,700 acre marsh.

Heggen explained that one reason for eagle populations remaining consistent the last was the several years jackrabbit population, a primary food source for eagles, has remained essentially the same for that period of time. BY WAY of contrast, Heggen also' noted that the Swainsons hawk and the prairie falcon showed marked increases over last year.
