The all-star team was selected on the basis of ballots cast by players and fans alike. The leading vote getters were pitcher Greg "Poundcake" "Pound-cake" Winn and rover Dave Peets. Notable by their absence ab-sence were the Brothers, winners of Division II. Loaded with long ball hitters, the squad from Orem undoubtedly un-doubtedly suffered from being out-of-towners, with many of their players' names unknown to local fans. As expected, most of the all-stars came from contending con-tending teams. Joining Winn and Peets on the all-star squad are catcher cat-cher Gary Avise, first baseman Buzzy Johnson, second baseman John "Scones" Rasconi, third baseman Bruce Reid and shortstop Stan "Diego" Cordova. Cor-dova. Voters selected Marty Loft-quist Loft-quist for left field, Fred Marshall in center, Craig "Uncle" Kunkel in right and Peets as rover. Winn, a veteran of the Spencer's squad, has long been acknowledged as the league's premier hurler. His pitching ability coupled with his batting skills put him far ahead of his nearest rival in the balloting. Despite his rotund physique, Winn is also an excellent fielding pitcher. Poundcake's battery mate, Gary Avise, barely edged the Alamo's Kirk Aezer at the catcher position. Avise, Spencer's team captain, is noted for the long ball and large tonsils. ton-sils. His on the field gooning can cause as much damage as his bat. Avise also possesses the strong arm needed by any catcher hopeful of all-star status. At first base, the Mad Jacks' Buzzy Johnson was selected by a surprisingly comfortable margin over the Alamo's Chris Geer and Paul Brown of the Old Men. Johnson, a former member of the Bum's squad, is skilled with both bat and glove. All-star and best dressed honors went to John "Scones" Rusconi at second, the small but talented second sacker for Doc's was chosen over some bigger sticks but knowledgeable Park City gained only five yards in three plays from their 35 and Johnson boomed a punt into the Altamont end zone. Unable to move from their 20 the Longhorns punted on the first play of the final quarter. A roughing the kicker penalty gave them a first on the 29 but they were unable to penetrate the Miner defense and had to go into punt formation. A poor snap from center failed to reach the kicker and the Miners took over at the Altamont 32. But Park City was unable to take advantage ad-vantage of their excellent field position. After Davidson went up the middle for three, Tatomer was dropped in the backfield. On the next play, the quarterback sent a pass over the outstretched hands of Gebauer. The play was noteworthy despite the in-completion in-completion because it marked the first attempted pass of the season by Park City. Tatomer was dropped behind the line again on fourth four-th down and the Longhorns took over. The teams then traded turnovers. Altamont was forced to punt but Park City fumbled the ball away at its own 47. On first down, an at-, tempted pass slipped through the Altamont Ballots players around the league agree he is the best. Perhaps the biggest surprise sur-prise came at third base where Bruce Reid was named. Reid, who edged Scott "Fatback" Richards of the Alamo, did not start for Spencer's at the beginning of the season and was moved to third late in the summer. Reid was always a consistent con-sistent hitter, however, and only the Autos' seniority system kept him out of the lineup from the outset. It was no contest at shortstop. short-stop. Rookie of the year Stan"Diego" Cordova was a runaway winner. Cordova hit for average, hit for distance, made the plays at short and boasts maybe the strongest arm in the league. His acquisition was largely responsible for the great success enjoyed by the Alamo this season. Left fielder Marty Loft-quist Loft-quist was a mainstay for the Mad Jacks all season. His speed and arm prevented many runs while his bat helped lead his team to the league finals. Fred Marshall and center field are synonomous. Spencer's Spen-cer's center fielder is a local Softball pioneer noted for his one-handed grabs on the run. At the plate, he places the ball "where they ain't" and can hit the right field line as well as anyone. In right field there's another pioneer who was a teammate of Marshall's in the early days. Although chosen as a right fielder, the Alamo's Craig "Uncle" Kunkel can and has played almost every position. Perhaps a pound or two heavier and a step slower than in previous campaigns, Kunkel is a clutch player capable of coming up with the game-winning catch or hit. Speed is the trademark of Alamo rover Dave Peets. It's doubtful that there's another man in the league who can get to the ball or the bag faster. Coming off a sub-par sub-par season last year, Peets had a hot bat for the Alamo, especially during the playoffs play-offs and tournament. Although all the players selected are adroit batters, defense is the hallmark of this first all-star team. And it should be noted that the fans and players had very similar opinions regarding who was best at their position. Congratulations to the players selected, you're the best. receiver's hands into the clutches of Davidson. The junior linebacker returned the ball down the sideline to the Altamont 29 but the offense of-fense could do nothing with it and the Longhorns regained possession. In the longest gain of the day, Daniels handed to Stevenson on a draw play. The junior halfback went up the middle, cut to the outside and raced 27 yards to the Miner 46. The Longhorns then moved to the 35 on a pop pass and a quarterback keeper. On first down, Daniels threw a flare pass to Stevenson Steven-son for six yards and then kept for one. Park City then came up with two key defensive defen-sive plays that preserved the victory. Marty Cowin tackled Mike Allred in the backfield for a three-yard loss and the defensive line pressured Daniels into a feeble incom-pletion. incom-pletion. With less than a minute showing on the scoreboard clock, Tatomer went up the middle for four yards and. then fell on the ball for the next two plays to end the game. The Miners travel to Brigham City Friday to face Intermountain. The Miners defeated their opponent 9-0 in the season opener.

It's not like tennis or skiing where you're constantly moving and building a rhythm as you go. You have to learn how to start a brand new rhythm for each set. The best way to overcome this is to play decisively and feel aggressive. What we want to do in golf is, see the target, see the ball and swing. So many times I see a player step up to the ball and then spend too much time over the ball before they start their swing . When you play try to pick up your mental pace.

Now leading the league, Park City fought back from a 2-1 first half deficit to upset the perennial champion Eagles. With the Eagles ahead 2-0, Alexander Holmsen scored Park City's first goal on a shot from his halfback position. In the second half, Germania scored a goal on itself, as Park City had done in the first half, to, knot the score at 2-2. Scott Williams went from goat to hero in the second half. Williams had scored a goal for the Eagles in the first fir-st half but his score with less than ten minutes remaining in the contest proved to be the winning margin. The Park City defense stiffened in the final period, with goalkeeper Paul Mawhinney making several fine saves and Park City held the visitors scoreless. Saturday's game against the Titans at City Park was played under more favorable conditions and Park City took a quick 2-0 lead on goals by Shawn Glieden and David Hoffer.

Enough pleasantries, let's go right to the good stuff . We've all been waiting seven months for the rematch between Muhammad Ali and Leon Spinks and on Friday nite "The leather is gonna fly in the Superdome." Of course, Ali has been up to his usual pre-fight promotional poetry: "Leon pulleeese stay out of jail Cause on Friday night I'm gonna whup your tail." Rhetoric alone won't do it and Ali is well aware of that fact. Two weeks ago he sparred 13 rounds without resting in between and his camp predicts he'll weigh in just under 220 pounds. He cannot afford to carry too much weight and stay mobile against Leon's aggressive and relentless relen-tless attack. I predict Ali will be the first man in heavyweight history to win the title three times. I project a T.K.O. around the 12th round, here are my reasons: First and foremost the key to the fight will be concentration. Regardless of Ali's role as a clown-prince he is a master technician when the bell rings. He will not give away the first five or six rounds as he did in February using his rope-a-dope routine. Instead, he'll throw punches, stick and git, thereby adding up points that he knows the judges will be counting. If he's in as good a shape as his handlers say, he'll be able to score those points and stay away from Leon's barrage. Secondly, Leon is not an intellectual human being. He has been caught up in the "high livin', I be the champ," syndrome and has not prepared himself physically or mentally to defend his crown. When it's gone, he'll realize what he had, but of course he'll be going down the road with a cool million in his suede jacket. He's not as hungry as he was last February in Las Vegas and I believe this will be his downfall. Somewhere around the 9th or 10th round Leon will realize he is a confused man . Thirdly, Ali has more heart, he's been there before, and more than for any other reason he Wants to retire as the champ. Just remember, when the bell rings for the first round there is no champion, the crown is up for grabs. It will go to the athlete who wants it the most. It will go to Muhammad Ali. 0 raniiM Beef - Lamb - Seafood Salad Bar OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK 6p.m. 'TIL CLOSING' Top of Main Street. Park City.
