The first place essay, written j I by Karen Archer, is pub-. pub-. lished this week, and the P other two essays, by Gayle V Tolley and Harlan Anderson, will appear in next week's News. A lot of local residents have been stealing our Main Street I Reporter's thunder and "popping "pop-ping off" about the officiating at last week's basketball game at Parowan, and from where we M sit this is one time the fans and the Milford players have a big howl coming. The dis- m,., trict athletic board reviewed the protest Tuesday evening, and denied the protest. How they arrived at their decision we still haven't been able to KJ figure out, unless they have a special rule book. Here's the facts, as given to The News by a coach, a timer and a score-keeper: score-keeper: With about 10 seconds left in the ball game and the score tied, a double foul was called, on Clyde Turner of Milford and Ray Winters of Parowan. It was Winters' fifth personal foul Q and the officials were so noti-'J noti-'J fied. Winters shot his free throw but on protest of the Milford Mil-ford captain the point was not allowed. Then the official allowed al-lowed Gurr, a Parowan player already in the game, to make the free throw. The Milford scorekeeper protested that Winters' Win-ters' substitute must make the free throw. The official ignored ig-nored the protest, made at the time while the clock was still "dead," and the point Gurr made was the winning point. Rule 8 Section 2 of the offi-es? offi-es? cial high school basketball rules eS;, says that when a player has a free throw coming and must r leave the game his substitute f? must make the free throw, or if no substitute is available any player may make the throw. In an explanation of the rule an instance is cited whereby an ineligible player makes a free throw. If the error is not caught jli.il before the clock starts, the point j, counts, but if the error is called to the attention of the officials 1 j before the clock starts, the point does not count and the ball goes to the opposing team out of e5j bounds. , 'jd If the play had been an over- siKht on the part of the officials ' we wouldn't have grounds for protest, according to the, explain expla-in nation of the rule, but we feel if, even then we'd have grounds j-i for popping off at the official. X But when the official waived --J aside all protests at the time and arbitrarily ignored 'he rule la'd down by the national high school athletic authorities, and 'he district athletic board up ,( held the official in his dic'ator-r,, dic'ator-r,, ial action, what recourse does 0;ii an injured school have? 1 ls If the officials will not call a game according to the rules, and the district board will not uphold a protest when the evi--3 dence is so plain, they'd just as well let the officials make their own rules as they go along. Dear Editor: The "Popping Off" corner in last week's News carried an item about the bike riders of ,nd'' Milford. It's too bad we older keef people have forgotten our child- hod, days, the joy of owning aP' and riding a bike, tricycle or scooter.
