By Bill Roland Tony Dorsett, Pittsburgh's superb running back, was voted unanimously as college football's best player as he became this year's recipient of the Heisman Trophy. During his spectacular season, Dorsett either broke or tied 14 NCAA records. He has run for a total of 6,082 yards during his elite career at Pitt, scored 5 9 touchdowns, rushed for 100 yards or more in 33 games, and scored a record breaking total of 356 points. On top of all that, his Pittsburgh Panther team is undefeated, ranked number 1 in the country, and faces fourth-ranked Georgia in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. In Dorsett's last regular season game on Friday, He rushed for 224 yards, scored 2 touchdowns, and let Pitt to a 24-7 victory over cross state rival Penn State and the Panthers' first undefeated season since 1929. NFL Contenders in Stretch Drive The Pittsburgh Steelers kept their championship hopes alive Sunday by edging the Cincinnati Bengals 7-3 in a grueling game played almost entirely in near blizzard conditions. It was Pittsburgh's seventh straight win while the Bengals had a five-game winning streak snapped. Two of Cincinnati's three losses this year have been to the Steelers. In order for Pittsburgh to make the playoffs Cincinnati must lose to either Oakland or the Jets in the next two games while Pittsburgh continues to win. Elsewhere, New England kept their hopes alive for a wild-card berth to the Playoffs by defeating the Denver Broncos 38-14. Cleveland also remained in the picture by defeating the Miami Dophins in another snowstorm contest, 17-13. The San Francisco 49'ers shocked the Minnesota Vikings Monday night 20-16 in a thriller. Thus, the 49'ers also have a slim chance for the playoffs. The Dallas Cowboys edged the St. Louis Cardinals on Thanksgiving Day 21-14, thus putting the Cardinals in a precarious position, tied with the Redskins, who will get the wild-card berth in the NFC since they have defeated St. Louis in both encounters this season; This week's key encounter will be the Monday night game between the Oakland Raiders and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Golden Eagles Win Three in a Row The Salt Lake Golden Eagles shrugged off a dismal scoring drought by restoring some scoring punch and registering three big wins in successive nights. Friday night against Oklahoma City, right wing Jim Moxey celebrated his return to Salt Lake as he pumped in four goals to lead the Eagles to a 5-1 victory. Goalie Larry Hendrick made his first appearance since an October injury and kicked out 16 Oklahoma City shots. . Saturday night the Eagles continued their scoring spree, crushing Oklahoma City 7-2. This time winger Bob Girard and defenseman Bjorn Johansson, both also just in from the parent club, the Cleveland Barons, led the attack with two and one goal respectively. Big Frank Spring paced the Golden Eagles Sunday night with a hat trick en route to a 6-2 victory over the Fort Worth Texans. Spring's three goal effort was his first appearance in the goal column since he suffered a shoulder separation Oct. 27. The Golden Eagles have four days off before facing the loop leading Tulsa Oilers Friday and Saturday in Tulsa. Their road swing moves on to Dallas Sunday night, and then to Kansas City Dec. 8 and Dec. 10. They return to Salt Palace ice Dec. 11 against Fort Worth.

The Park High basketball team, playing true to last week's prediction by Coach Ron Stepan ("I think we're going to take them"), returned, return-ed, from Coalville Friday night with an impressive 66-60 come from behind overtime victory against North Summit. Hosting Tabiona the following follow-ing night, the Miners jumped out to an early lead and never trailed as they downed the days. , Although clearly not play-j ing up to their potential, the Miners used a scrappy zone! defense to control the game, " if only tenuously, from) beginning to end. H Benefiting from some fine outside shooting from-: Berriocha, Howard Davidson j and Brad Goff, and aided by -some aggressive rebounding by Alvey, the Miners foundj I) ii u The local cagers, now sporting a 2 and 1 mark on the season, started their successful weekend on a dubious note as they dropped 19 points behind North Summit in the first half. Starting out in a man-toman defense, Coach Stepan switched the Miners to a zone when the Braves started to pull away. Hoping to force the red and white back into a man-toman, North Summit went into a stall. But instead, "They started to throw the ball away and they lost their momentum," Coach Stepan explained. Down by ten at intermission, inter-mission, the Miners came out from the second half in a 1-2-2 half court trap defense as they battled their way back into the contest. With only seconds remaining remain-ing in the game, Park High went ahead by 1, only to have North Summit knot the score at 56 when the buzzer sounded. ' Smelling victory, the Miners came out hungry in the extra period and streaked to a 65 to 60 victory. When the smoke cleared the Park High scoring results were tallied. Chuck Berriochoa had poured in 17 points while Mike Alvey had pulled down 16 rebounds and collected 15 points. Tabiona Saturday Night "We were worried we wouldn't be up after Friday's game," Coach Stepan observed after his team hung on to down Tabiona for their second victory in as many advantage-at the encTof the' first half. In the third period Park High threatened to blow the visitors out as they widened their lead to 11. Unable to find their knockout knock-out punch, the Miners confronted with a late minute Tabional surge. Ahead by only three wit! two minutes left, Goff hit from the top of Ihe key and Davidson went to the hoop for two more as Park High met the challenge. Tabiona, failing to convert on a Davidson technical foul, was put away for good when Alvey converted for a three-point three-point play'. The Junior varsity, apparently getting into the mood of things, also notched two wins over the weekend as they downed North Summit, 51-45, Friday, and then came back Saturday to nip the Tabiona j.v.'s 45-41.

By Jim Miller White Pine Touring Center It seems pretty strange to see and feel the sure signs of winter the streams freezing up, the low temperatures, frosty beards, trucks that won't start. Even the eagles are back to their Wasatch-Uinta mountains winter range. Yet incredibly, there is not enough snow to ski on. Oh sure, I did see John Elwell skiing on the Golf Course last Sunday but for sure he was using green wax to match the green grass he was skiing on rather than the cold snow. But for the most part, we have had a skiless winter so far. There is an old saying, "Hike every winter ski tour, and ski every summer hike." Enjoy the mountains in all seasons, as they are constantly changing. There is no doubt that a hike up a favorite ski run will amaze most folks. Such change is always a pleasure to observe. This late fall has given us all a chance to hike trails' that we would ordinarily be skiing now. And the uniqueness of observing bare ground in November is quite enjoyable. For those eying a distant peak or never-been-skied snow slope for new skiing terrain, now is the time to check them out. In winter, most virgin snow slopes look the same but a close fall or summer inspection might reveal one slope with a comforting coat of three foot sage brush, while another slope is covered by downsloping rock or grass, offerings 4ittle in -the way of anchoring a snow slope. ; . v . ; . . : T . , " V - An avalanche prone, death" trap gully is obvious in the autumn nakedness. Yet it might be hidden by blowing snow in mid-winter. Taking mental notes of where the snow stays after the first few storms (and where the snow melts) will help indicate which slopes will offer the best snow in January. And, of course, you can't check out these areas by sitting in the Alamo complaining about the lack of snow. You've got to get up there now to see what it's like. The traditional ski to Salt Lake and Thanksgiving dinner was, of course, a hike this year. Quite enjoyable to see upper Millcreek without any outstanding color, no super white, or bright green of summer, rather an earthy brown in, a rarely seen November bareness. Lower Millcreek, and the scores of people driving up and down the roads, trails and streams gave a sudden realization of how "wild" Milcreek is when protected by unplowed roads and how "domesticated" she is when -automobiles can get up the canyon trails, f One really positive attitude we can all concentrate on for our future skiing pleasures is our desire for good health. Diet plays an important part, exercise another. Four outstanding young ladies in the Park City area make it their business to see to our health. Gaye Erickson will be running a natural food service here at White Pine. Nothing better than to exercise 'the body by skiing up here, then replacing the energy reserves with good food. Kathy Caufman and Pat Constable have opened up a Natural Food Store on upper Main Street. Good quality food is hard to find, but they have it up in their store. I hope Park City will look after their diet and shop these establishments. Jane Catlin will take care of another body need exercise and stretching by conducting some great yoga classes on Tuesdays, in the Memorial Building, starting at 7:30. Yoga can do more for the body than any one form of exercise, including skiing. - No doubt a great year ahead for skiing and Park City. Enjoy what we have now to the fullest, because it won't last long. "When you're sick or hurt, I can give you some old-fashioned attention?
