South Summit's Jim Kirkham. Break 11-Year Jinx Park City Matmen Edge Braves Since Wayne Carlson began be-gan the wrestling program at Park City High School 11 years ago, the Miners had never beaten the North Summit Braves. Until last Thursday, that is. Park City finally broke the 11-year drought with a 35-30 victory at Kamas in a double-dual meet involving the Miners, the Braves and the South Summit Wildcats. Carlson was obviously pleased with his team's performance. "I was really impressed Thursday with the kids," he said. "They are starting to do some of the things they are supposed to do." Giving the Miners all the points they needed were pins by Rob Maloney, Greg Bair and Ken Eley, decisions by Jess Sieverts and James Meekins, and a default win by John Newland. Particularly satisfying for the Miners was Sieverts' 15-7 decision over Steven Pace at : 105 lbs. Pacfl had "tealen 3 j Sieverts 8-0 in the last meeting between tffe two. " Two other Miner wrestlers gave strong performances, only to lose in the closing seconds of their matches. Bill Reed, at 126 lbs, was leading Sandy Osborn 4-1 before giving up five points just before the end of the third round. And Tom Tebbs was ahead 10-9 when a controversial call by the referee cost him the advantage. advan-tage. He finally lost 12-10. In spite of their showing against the Braves, the Miners still ended up in third place when total tournament points were calculated. The Braves took second place by battling the South Summit Wildcats to a 30-30 tie while the Miners wre losing decisively, deci-sively, 45-24. The Miners managed only four wins against the tough Wildcats: pins by Sieverts, Reed and Meekins, and a forfeit victory by Newland. Meekins pinned Ted Pres-cott, Pres-cott, who finished second in the state in his weight last year.

On Friday the Miners travelled to Roosevelt for a tournament against Union, Duchesne and the Union Jayvees. Park City finished in third place with 83 points behind Union (150) and Duchesne (92). After facing nothing but forfeits the day before, Park City heavyweight John New- b Richard Barnum-Reece Sports Journal Old Blood and Guts Gen. George Patton once said that war was one of the most notable spectacles in which the human race could ever be engaged. That, any private will tell you, is easy for a general to say. But, still, Patton wasn't the sort to stay back in the rear. He had a perverse delight in swinging toward the front of the lines, pearl-handled pearl-handled .45 at the side, and shocking the holy crap out of the dog soldiers. "There goes old Blood and Guts," the soldiers were supposed to have said. "Yeah," another reportedly chimed in, "My blood and his guts." But there's something to be said about living your life out there on the line. If you happen to read any of the recent Vietnam books, like, say, Michael Herr's "Dispatches," "Dis-patches," you get the feeling that the line can extend in more than one direction. Living en extremis seems to bring out the best and the worst in people. And it happens that one of the most extreme things you can do with your life, aside from kissing it off and starting a condominium village, is jumping into a downhill race. For those who are over the hill, (we're talking about more than 30 years) there used to be a downhill race at Sun Valley, the Ski Patrol Downhill, that brought in sickos of the Gen. George Patton type from far and wide. But word is that the Sun Valley Ski Patrol Downhill is no longer an official event. Earl Holding isn't the ty o to support such a f . -tic ( f p. .. - . ;;.wr ' .-.. if i : mtothe red! tK. ...iles an hour at Sun Valley you u ... have to do it right before sweep so the patrol can pick up your remains in the vicinity of the Rock Garden. But there are other things you can do. You can for example, try ski teaching seven or eight Venezuelan midgets without, at the same time, have any true command of Spanish. The midgets, between the ages of 6 and 11, are trying to refashion the Sun Valley Ski Patrol Downhill on Hidden Splendor and you happen to be in their way; trying to avoid those crash landings the little buggers are so fond of. But no ski teacher would begin to put himself up against the young people who have recently gone through the Park City Ski Team's dryland training program run by Bob Marsh and Viki Beck. It is not, as the racers will tell you. that the program was so difficult in itself. It's just that when you start anything in September and take it out as far as April you've put yourself out there on the line again. And, of course, there are the downhills. "I felt like we didn't utilize our time as well last year," Marsh said recently during an interview. "So what we're going to do this year is spend more time on specific training and less overall time on the hill. I've decided that it's more important to keep the kids in school. This year we're going to take them out for the last period only and then, when we think it's necessary, we'll even do some night skiing." So ski racing isn't all fun and games for these local racers who could show the Venezuelan midgets a thing or two about going from A to B at a zillion miles an hour. As one racer says, "I got into ski racing because I like to ski a lot and I thought it would be fun. But there are times when my friends are all going to a movie or something and I can't and that's kind of hard." Park City is the hottest ski team in the southern division of the Intermountain area. In the north, there's Sun Valley where a long tradition of excellence continues (there are two members of the U.S. Ski Team's A squad who are from Sun Valley). "Last year we won the divisional crown with more first, seconds and thirds than anyone else," Marsh says. "Right now we've got a really young group that's especially "solid." . of 'h ' t-pound i H ".-.ded .. .1": ' . ,.m.

Team tell me that I'm ahead of where they were at the same age but now what I have to do is start moving up." Indeed. Hazelrigg isn't much of a downhill threat because he's so light. Although he stands almost six feet, he has little weight to support his downward glide. A virtual airfoil on the loose. But, when it comes to slalom and giant slalom, the blond-headed former Californian is a threat. Which brings us back to old Blood and Guts. "Put yourself on the forefront of human endeavor and all else follows," the general is reported to have said. That, he would maintain, is exactly the direction thrse Park City Ski Team racers are moving. land finally got a chance to show his stuff. He pinned his two opponents in times of 19 seconds and 1 minute, 35 seconds, to win first place in his class. Newland also was named the outstanding wrestler at the tournament. The Miners also got another an-other first place, from Neil Clegg at 145 lbs. Winning second place in their respective respec-tive weights were John Howard, Rob Maloney and Ken Eley. The Miners will return to action following the Christmas Christ-mas break with a tournament tourna-ment at home against Duchesne Du-chesne and South Rich.
