Show . THE REAL DOPE y till COITIIN We have a hunch that this business of giving Carbon high school , tha srtishoff Is about to and-tha whole county seems to be upset about tha football situation down there and tha Utah High School Activities Assn. will bar to do something mora than toss a few crunfbs this yesr. . There art 19 class A high schools is tha state and all except Carbon ar eozily fixed up in a league with regular rivals and no troublei. But poor Carbon high school, for no other reason than thai-act that it is a MUe further away from tha big center of population, must gather its grid games whera it may. Chlof Argumatrt The chief arguments used by the power that run tha high school athletic setup are that Carbon doesn't drsw good is game away from Carbon county and that tha trip through Spanish Fork canyon is too tough., ... V As for tha argument about how tha game with Carbon draw, "especially around Salt Lake City, who can seyT Carbon hassl 1 had ' mack of a chairs to prare haw It coald draw sp hare. Tha Dtoa-saurs Dtoa-saurs ksveat bees allewed to play Is Salt Laxa eesnty man than six r eight times la tha last half rears. I we saw mar of Csrbes's football teams, we might Ilk what w saw sag really patresiss tha club. ; 1 Anvhow. art gate receipt the only thing that count! As for the long trip to Carbon, that shouldn't be drawback so far as Using tha team are concerned, although it might be a problem prob-lem whn on considers the fan following tha team. On old-timer pointed out to u to other day, though, that the trip through Spanish Fork canyon doesn't Involve any more dangerous atretch of road than the old Sardine canyon road used to be. Teams and fans went back through that terrible stretch of highway for yars in regular region one play involving Weber and Box Elder on the " couth of tha canyon and th Cache county school to the north. : RMktfswa SHwcrHen ' This year Carbon wu forced to play two team from region one to even hive a chance to get to th football finals. That is ridiculous. ' There is no reason why Carbon shouldn't be playing Provo, Jordan, 1 Granite and at least on of th Salt Lak City schools each year. ' Surely ft is mar sensible to plsy thes schools than it I to go ail th way to Cach county to find someone to play. : Of course, th whole das A picture seeds stralghteaiag eat : Th Idas at baring th tw schools f Ogdea la different teagaea I silly. Asd It If possible that seat f the B schools aroarsd might be classed as A schools without stretching th S-arU-sent Agar toe far. Carbon is now forced to play funny schedule. All of its games ar nta! to Carbon, but mean nothing to th ooposition. That causes 1 poor ball game and puts too much pressure oa Carbon, not enough n it rivals. ' ' , . ; They develop good football player down there. Two that com to mind quickly this yesr ar Jo Tangaro of Utah and Rex Berry of Brigkam Young, sloe is on of th top linemen la th conference this year; and Berry is a terrific sack. And both ar about as likable ss any kids you would ear to mac . . .. . , '.. ' .-' .;.. TlWIr Tsjwm- : t ' Carbon fan lor their team probably the, fan down there are! more loyal than any others In th state but It is tough to keep the enthusiasm up whea good game ar a few and far between. We trust that . the activities association will realised fnloatlce of the situation and do something mora than ha baca dona in th past1 Whenever w have mentioned this subject to any high school official, offi-cial, th answer has always bees Just about th saaa: "Yes, I know . . . isn't it too bad?" Sympathy is getting Carbon high school nowhere. |
