Show The Salt Lake Tribune, Thursday, September 20, Y A f w stj'pY Ralph Parish Weber Punter, Safetv Pllfitpi Star on Trial Basis By Steve Wilson Tribune Sports Wnter , OGDEN Prior to Saturdays gajne against Utah State, Weber punter Ralph Pansh had never felt the lone-- I Liness of standing 15 yards behind the offensive center, receiving the snap, braving the charge of onrushing linemen and then putting foot to football. Oh, I used to play around practice and kick the foot- in ball sometimes. Ralph said But I had never loosely. punted in a game before last Saturday." So what did Parish go out and accomplish in the Aggie game? All he did was punt four times for a 44.0 average, good enough to give him the Big Sky Conference leadership. Although statistics for college division teams were not published this week, it is known that Parish is among the national leaders. Parish had kicks of 56. 47, 25 48 yards with the a squibber off the side of his powerful right foot, severely reducing his average. Throw that one out, toss in a more respectable effort and the Weber punter could swell his chest and boast of nearly a average. and d Actually Parish was used on trial basis Saturday as Gary Childress, a starting flanker for the Wildcats, also punts. But it seems that unless an epidemic of poor punts seizes Pansh, he will continue as the man who enters the game on fourth down and sends the football skyward. a Parish doubles as a punter and strong safety for Weber. He was credited with three unassisted tackles in the opener and also recovered a fumble. Naturally, this question is just begging to be asked: All right, Ralph, what would you rather do, lead the or nation in interceptions punting? but he quickly replied. There might be a greater future for me in punting, though, because of my speed. It would be an awful nice job to walk on, punt, and then walk off in pro football someday. Interceptions, I think, either one would be nice, So far, Ralph insists, he isnt bothered by playing defense the game and then moments later to punt. When our offense takes over, I get a rest, he noted. And Im usually fresh when I go in to punt What Caused By Mike McGrady Newsday Wnter There is a chill in the air these September mornings that has nothing whatever to do with changing seasons. Liz and Dick are suddenly phffffft; Debbie Reynolds is reportedly back on the road to SplitsviUe, and now it looks as if John and Martha Mitchell have agreed to disagree. The trouble with all these amatory bustups is that the news accounts never tell us quite enough. For example, I have yet to read a story revealing just how Elizabeth Taylor squeezes a tube of toothpaste, or whether Richard Burton was the one who had to get out of bed to plug in the coffee maker, or which one of them had to drive the kid to the orthodontist to get the braces tightened.

Historians still are blinking speed with which this bill went through Congress. Those same legislators, who at the spent 10 years debating the wisdom of ending a disastrous war spent only hours deciding that they should double the amount of televised football. And for once President Nixon was not talking veto in fact, he managed to sign the bill just hours before the official opening of the new season. Before his signature was dry, the President had hailed a helicopter to Camp David where he would spend the weekend working and where, as luck would have it, the television reception is so good that a man could choose from four possible football games this past Sunday. John President Nixon, Mitchell and a hundred million others now can retreat every weekend to a far simpler world. When Martha asked John to choose between politics and herself, he did the gentlemanly thing and moved out of Washington. However, when she asked him to choose between football and herself, he d;d the only possible thing and moved out period. Reporters spent much of this past Sunday trying to track down the former attorney general. Well, I can tell you where he was. He was approximately six feet from a color television set.
