Show GRANDSTAND c rr n r ROUCHES r I dalf EM Springs at Springville Dear Jay The only way to settle the argument about the size of the Springville basketball floor is to have some disinterested person such as Jay Ess or Bill Coltrin measure it with a steel tape Why not do it this Friday or Saturday when you go down to seethe see seethe seethe the Cowboy Cougar battles Apparently the idea of taking somebody's word for it who was told by somebody also is getting getting- a bit misleading or or- else they were using using- a rubber tape to measure the floor At the last Utah game at Springville some of us paced the width of the floor and found it to be about 42 or 43 3 feet Of course we did not have steel legs but can certify that they were not rubbery either and of course after you get through measuring measuring measuring ing the floor remember to subtract at least one foot from each side where spectators spectators' feet go because you will admit that it would be quite a feat to stay away from those feet or else you would get defeated A Utah Fan Dear Utah Fan The size of the floor of Springville Spring seems to have affected you a great deal To the best of my knowledge the sizes size that I quoted in iii my last column are corre correct t. t However sir if we are to begin beg subtracting from either side then it would be possible to condense that floor considerably I agree that the matter of human feet and hands protruding on the basketball floor doesn't especially stimulate the situation in the least If you insist then a disinterested party such as myself or Mr Coltrin Collrin can take this measurement However for myself at least I would much prefer taking this measurement following the thc Wyoming series rather than during durins- it Further I dont don't believe that either of us has either steel or rubber legs We Ve shall do our best Jay Ess It Could Be ADear J A Dear Jay Let me ask you a question I read in your paper some time ago that the basketball crowd at Tooele that measured fans was the largest ever to see a basketball game in Utah Is this so Bill Swaner Dear Bill To the best of my knowledge it was the largest I base this on the reasoning that there isn't another gym in the state that can hold that many fans including including- the University of Utah or the fairgrounds coliseum n. n Jay Ess Egg They Still Ask Ab About ut Davis Davi Dear Jay Jay Jay- Did Davis js win both the state tate high school football and basketball basketball basket basket- ball ban championships last year I though that Jordan won the football foot foot- ball championship the year ear that Davis won the basketball cham cham- Gene R.
