The participants are rewarded by fame, fortune, endorsements, en-dorsements, and other residual benefits. Professional football seems to be reaching a competitive equality where spreads are closer, routs are becoming less frequent, and excitement ex-citement has returned to the game. How refreshing to see both the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers emerge victorious this past Sunday. Los Angeles put it to the Dallas Cowboys due primarily to a great defensive effort by the Rams. One reason professional football has become so competitive is that great football factory known as College Football. Just look how many veterans retired before the season and how many others are fighting for their jobs. This is healthy for the sport and for the fans, especially when a ticket costs at least $10. For that money, a fan should be entertained by talented athletes and teams that are competitive in their division. The draft system seems to be fulfilling that function as well in the last few years as I can remember. Pro football is so much better when the old cliche "on any given Sunday, Sun-day, any team in the NFL can whip another" is true, and hopefully that will be the case this year. A few other significant events took place this past week. One of the more surprising was Seattle Seat-tle Slew's stunning victory over Affirmed. It was the first meeting ever of Triple Crown winners and Slew flat got out of the starting gate and said,"Good Bye." The race was over in one and an eighth mile and Seattle Slew crossed the wire three lengths ahead of Affirmed. In 1964 Phil Hill won the Grand Prix World Championship and since that time no American race driver has won the championship or even come close. By virtue of his finish in the Italian Grand Prix, Mario Andretti has ended the drought and become the first American in 14 years to reign as world champion. Throughout this championship season, Mario has been driving a Lotus-Ford designed by the remarkable Colen Chapman. Mario's victory was greatly saddened by the death pf his team mate Ronnie Peterson, who was in second place Peterson died of severe burns in his chest and throat. By becoming world champion Mario has fulfilled his dreams and accomplished one of ' sport's most difficult tasks. Speaking of championships, Muhammad Ali's victory last week may have been his sweetest ever. For the third time he has become the world heavyweight champion. Ali, please retire gracefully while you have the chance. Mucker Bruce Reid goes high for the ball during a lineout.

The Park City Ski Team has been dry land training for just ten days, but already the enthusiasm and stamina among the young racers is building toward another successful season. With a qualified coaching staff headed by program director Bob Marsh, the team is working hard toward making this the third year in a row that Park City has garnered the most first, second and third place trophies in the . southern division of the Intermoun-tain Intermoun-tain Division of the United States Ski Association. The nearly sixty ski team members who appear at fhe Park City Resort on Saturdays Satur-days for a hard days' workout are broken into four classifications: Pee-Wee competitors are ten years old and under; Novices are eleven or older, or any competitor com-petitor who has advanced from the Pee-Wee classification; Intermediates Inter-mediates have advanced from the rank of novice, regardless of age; and Experts Ex-perts have stepped up from the intermediate ranking. The racers range in age from 7 to 16, and because of the difference in physical and emotional maturity, their training programs vary. "The key work is fun," Marsh said, diligently balancing a soccer ball on his big toe. "You can't make a seven-year-old run six miles during one training session, so we play a lot of soccer and build up their eye-foot coordination." The fun was apparent as screams of laughter echoed across the resort plaza while kids chased the ball and dodged around each other like so many bamboo poles down a race course. - The weekly dryland training sessions focus on physical conditioning and body coordination, and in elude soccer, volleyball, hiking, dryland slalom and basic conditioning exercises. There are five sessions held weekly Mondays and Wednesdays Wed-nesdays in Park City, Tuesdays and Thursdays in ' Salt Lake, and Saturday at the Resort. Each ski team member is expected to attend at-tend twoj)f the weekday sessions, and everyone shows for Saturday. On the off-days, off-days, Marsh said he encourages en-courages the racers . to do exercises and run. "Anyone who wants to make it as a racer needs to be highly motivated," Marsh noted. "I demand respect 1 from my racers and we work hard. I'm a nice guy, a good friend, but I let them know that we're here for a reason, and that's to train hard and learn to be strong competitors." com-petitors." The Park City Ski Team members are not only local racers. They also come from Salt Lake City, Heber and Provo, and some are transplants trans-plants from Snowbird's ski team. Competition in the In-termountain In-termountain Division is stiff and encompasses teams from northern Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. The experts will travel to races throughout the division, with some race trips lasting three and four days. The peewee, novice and intermediate (PNI) racers compete in the southern sector of that division, with their trips lasting one day, or occasionally oc-casionally overnight, while they travel to Snowbird, Nordic Valley, Sundance and Alta. All racers will compete Continued on Page 8 i LATE BULLETIN The United States Ski Team reached an out-of-court settlement Tuesday afternoon af-ternoon with the American Broadcasting Company, Com-pany, executive director Bill Traeger announced. announ-ced.
