unfathomable amounts paid to tennis players have brought the professional athlete of the 70s from sports pages to front pages of newspapers around the world At no time in this nation’s history have athletes had more adulation than movie stars or more adulation from film stars In tills day of the modern Gladiator the question which arises in the mind of the Monday morning quartrrbark Is whether money is the motivator Dues the college high school football player think about the big buck or Is he pushed by a another force? Certainly Utah State University has played a major role in producing football players who have won their spurs in the American and Canadian pro ranks There were the brothers— all pro Merlin Olsen and Phil Olsen and Joe John and Tan Furzanl of Canadian pro football fame And there are others A few examples are Tony Adams (World Football taague Outstanding (layer last year) Roy Shivers MacArthur tane Altie Taylor Gomel!
