North Summit Paced by Brad Goff's 17 points, the Miners had little trouble disposing of the North Summit Braves, who were hapless victims to Park City earlier in the season. The Friday evening contest was the inaugural game for North Summit's new gym. The Braves proved to be surprisingly tough in the first quarter and a half court trap defense employed by Park City coach Bruce Reid was ineffective, allowing several easy buckets. The Miners fell back into their accustomed "rubber l$and" switching zone defense,, de-fense,, however, and took a 22-14 lead by the end of the first period. It was all Park City in the second quarter. Taking advantage ad-vantage of breakdowns in North Summit's man-to-man defense, the Miners pumped in shots from all over the court. They also converted numerous fastbreaks coming com-ing off steals and outscored the Braves 25-6 for a 47-20 halftime lead. The Miners padded their margin in the third quarter, scoring 12 points to the Braves' 4. jwith Park City substituting heavily in the final period, North Summit managed to qutscore the Miners 21-11 but this effort fell far short of compensating for their earlier inadequacies. Park City was effective in keeping North Summit away from the basket all night, forcing them into long sjporeless stretches. Offensively, Offen-sively, every Miner player except one scored.

Both teams were cold early in the game and more than two minutes elapsed before Park City broke the scoring scor-ing drought with the first two points of the contest. Piute answered immediately with two baskets but the shooting of point guard Brad Goff took the Miners to a 10-8 first quarter lead. Two free throw conversions by Howard Davidson at the beginning of the second quarter extended the lead to 7 four points but a layup' fcy: Kim Dalton, the games' high scoreer with 24 points, and a Miner turnover converted to a basket knotted the score at 12 all. Park City was able to exploit numerous Thunder-bird Thunder-bird fouls but they were troubled by Piute's full court press which caused several turnovers. Steals and bad Miner passes compounded by the hot hand of Dalton allowed Piute to take a 20-16 lead with three minutes remaining in the period. After Davidson tapped in a rebound, Piute's Kenny Coons responded with a jumper to make it 22-18. Davidson came right back, however, connecting on two consecutive jumpers of his own to tie the score at 22 all. Brighton. Utah! (I for a layup against Piute Saturday Night.

The Development Team currently consists of 25 women and 37 ' men. To qualify, potential Olympic. . skiers are chosen by age and. seeding point criteria. "Downhill has not been the strength of the American ' team," said Development Team coach ' Doug Smith. "We are trying to rectify the , situation by, taking young-? sters and giving them the right kind of training so that when their generation takes over the racing berths, they will be proficient on an international scale."

"It's difficult and even dangerous to do high speed skiing under the conditions we were faced with on those days." The group, as a whole, according to Smith, made very good progress.
