Awaiting the World Champion for 1978 is a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond, with other Savings Bonds and prizes, such as Gaines dog food, being awarded at all levels of competition. Competition format for local, state and regional finals will be as follows: Each animal will be required, within a time limit, to complete as many catches as possible at a minimum distance of 15 yards from the thrower circle. One point is awarded for each catch where one or more paws touch the ground. Two points are given for each catch where all four paws are off the ground. The same thrower (no age limitation) must compete with the dog throughout, and a special K-9 Frisbee disc wiil be used at all levels of competition. There are no age or breed requirements for competing dogs. Leash laws will be observed during all levels of competition. Each dog entered will be required to have valid license and proof of rabies vaccination, where required by local ordinance. Co-sponsor of the event, along with participating Parks and Recreation Departments, is the maker of Gaines dog foods. Park City will hold an area Catch-and-Fetch contest on Saturday, June 24th at the Tennis Tips asiest To f ! By Debbie The forehand volley is probably the easiest of all the tennis shots to learn! Why? Because the ball has very little distance to travel before it crosses to your opponents side of the net. Now before you rip the article up in total disbelief, try this the next time you're practicing forehand volleys. Always keep your racket in front of your upper body while you're waiting for the ball; in a center position with the racket head above your wrist. When you go to hit the ball step out with your left foot (toward the net) and just punch or block the ball keeping your wrist very firm on impact. The key to a good volley is not to swing at the ball. This way you won't be picking up those easy shots from the bottom of the net, because all your volleys will be going over! SOFTBALL MEETING All girl softball commissioners, captains and coaches. There is a mandatory meeting at the Memorial Building at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, June 15.

A perennial entry in the Heber League, the Provo team is new to the Park City circuit. They bested the Park City Players (a.k.a. Totora . Paint) and Doc's Back Door.
