Absent from photo: Pat Carley and Kon jonnson. High Rollers goalie Garry Moore looked as if he had Pan World Shuffles The High Rollers just lost a fight with Mean Joe Green. His right forearm was encased in a plaster cast. The little finger on his right hand was taped to a metal splint. The index finger on his left hand was secured the And all this was the result of a soccer game? Moore's injuries were the most visible manifestation of the beating the High Rollers took Saturday in their first game of the fall season. Facing a young, aggressive Pan World "C" team, the Park City squad gave up three goals in the first half on its way to a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of the visitors. Moore's medical problems, ranging from a torn ligament liga-ment to the aggravation of an old wrist injury, came as he tried in vain to keep Pan World off the scoreboard. Meanwhile, at the other end of the field, the High Roller forwards were hardly a threat. "We got hardly any shots off," Moore said later. "They probably had maybe 25 for the game, and we probably had 10. And all 10 of ours went right to the goalie." Park City held its own for about the first 20 minutes of the game. But the tide started to turn when fullback Herman Stuivenvolt was sidelined with a pulled muscle. mus-cle. To make matters worse, winger David Raubvogel had to leave the game at half-time. half-time. This left the High Rollers with the bare minimum: mini-mum: 11 men. There were a few bright spots for Park City. Fullback Bob Wargowsky and halfback half-back Jordan Swenson both played well in their own end of the field. But, as Stuivenvolt Stuiven-volt was heard to say, "You can't win a game if you don't score a goal." The team hopes to get a boost with the addition of a little scoring punch on the forward line. Pat Carley and Ron Johnson both are expected ex-pected to rejoin the squad this week. Show Off Your Service in the Bartenders Tourney Getting ready to hang up your tennis racquet for the season?

You've bellied up to the bar in the lodge after an exhilarating day on the mountain when you see over at the corner table that Rick Sylvester is getting that wild look in his glacialblue eyes. The self-described skiing "misadventurer" is up to something again. It might be that he's dreaming up another illegal ski jump off 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park; or maybe it's rapelling off a cornice so he can ski down Squaw Valley's precipitous "Main Chute;" it could be another hike up Mt. McKinley fdr 30,000 vertical feet of skiing in trap-crust snow conditions. Could he be mulling over a tip drop above the Gates of Hell? Who knows? This is Rick Sylvester, whose $250,000 leap into the void for the James Bond flick, "The Spy Who Loved Me," is the most expensive stunt ever done on skis. And right now a lady wants to know if he's really the James Bond stand-in who escaped SMERSHagents by skiing off a 3,300-foot cliff on Baffin Island and popping that 'Union Jack-illustrated parachute para-chute at the beginning of the film. "Yeah, that was me," Sylvester says, craning his neck around and scizzoring some of those sun-bleached locks off his brow. We waited 10 or 11 days before the weather was right to film that one and I wasn't too anxious to do it again." There was this little matter of his contract. "They had a good lawyer," Sylvester said. "They wanted to know what if the first jump didn't work on film. What then? So I told them I'd do the first two jumps for $30,000 and any additional jumps would cost $10,000 each." But the problem was Sylvester didn't exactly want to go up there on top of Mt. Asgard 40 miles north of the Artie Circle and put his life on the line again. For the moment, he was stuck up to his knees in glacial snow at the bottom of the cliff after the first jump and he was talking to the physician the movie people had brought in just in case-well just in case. "I'm glad I don't need you right now for anything more than to pull me out of this snow." Sylvester told the docter as he pulled up. Sylvester was thinking that since he'd signed the stupid contract and since it wouldn't cost the producers any more money to get two jumpsrfor the price of one, that he was looking at another leap into the voice. And he didn't much care for the idea. He remembered moments before when the guy on top of the white needle of a mountain had waved the little red flag signalling it was time to come down the 160-foot in-run. Beneath the lip, the clouds shrouded the glacier below. And, sure, it made a terrific backdrop for the camera shot but even a man with 100 parachute jumps to his credit likes to know where he's going. When he hit the edge it was like a dream. "The transition can be really terrifying," he said. "It was not at all like skydiving where it's just you and the abstract space. You're leaving the ground and falling down the face of a cliff and that basic primal fear of falling grabs you immediately." You have to keep your cool. If you panic it's a ball game. But, of course, Sylvester made it. Sylvester always seems to make it. Like at the Park City Ride and Tie. He'd decided that since he'd been in six national Ride and Ties that he'd try the Park City race. The problem was he didn't have a horse and he didn't have a partner. So what? He showed up five minutes after the race and ran the first two loops. "It was really pretty," he said. "I'm glad I didn't run that last loop 'cause they say it was really dry." And what for the future? Rick Sylvester is going to keep on keeping on. His family is wealthy and that sometimes helps, he admits. "I often wonder if I would have had the guts to live this lifestyle if my family didn't support me occasionally with money and just you know-standing behind me." he said. There's a TV stunt show starting and Sylvester and his wife, Elizabeth, and the one-year-old magic girl-child, Cheyenne, may be involved in that. There's the time Sylvester left the hospital and took Cheyenne on her first climb when she was 28 hours old. "I couldn't do it the first day because she was in an incubator," he said. "But on the second day she got out and me and my wife were on the way home and I bundled Cheyenne up and we climbed up a 30-foot rock. "It was just an idea I had," he smiles. "I wanted her to come into the world the right way." |
