T-- " - i 1 V cV" v 1 vrr A I j . - f i at Meet Names, Numbers Important At Football Games-. Last week we attended the Orem football game at Provo, and we must say we enjoyed every minute of it, the day was beautiful, weather perfect (a little warm) ana our favorite fav-orite finished on the long end of the scoring. We cannot help but feel the game would of been much more enjoyable for the largest crowd we have ever seen at a high school game in this area for many many years., if they had been able to distinguish one player play-er from another. It was the first game of the season and every spectator was looking for some sort ot a program with names and numbers on it. The sheet issued had the names and numbers of the Provo players, but not the Orem players. This to the average av-erage spectator was a glaring example of a lack of cooperation cooper-ation between the two schools. The people responsible for Issuing the roster of Provo certainly must of known Orem was going to be represented with football players at that game and people would be interested in-terested in knowing who they were. . ..... We hear the cry every year from the school executives, that the public does not support sup-port the games as they should. We cannot help but feel the school administrators should consider the spectators a little and at least issue a mimeographed mimeo-graphed sheet of paper with all names and numbers on, so as to help the spectators enjoy the game. The cost of such a sheet would be about $3.00 per game at the most, which every school should be able to eke out of their budget as they are now charging the public $1.00 for admission. "- " Another example of lack of planning and organization, was the way the fans were allowed al-lowed to swarm on the sidelines side-lines especially on the Provo side. The fans seated in the bleachers view was limited to the middle of the field. At one time the referee actually stopped stop-ped and ordered one man off the playing area. As far as we could determine Provo did not have an usher or officers present to keep the people in the stands. Solution. Each home team should be made responsible for some type of program for each game. Assign a student as his special duty to get the names and numbers -and weights of the visiting school, from the coach or athletic manager. We are sure this would eventually pay big dividends, if the average av-erage person could be able to tell who is participating. Safety Lesson With a Difference Coming: to OHS Orem high school students will be taught a safety lesson with a difference, soon Carl S. Pike of Grand Rapids, Mich., Will be talking to tnem.
