Show Rugby ' With seven you get. Thursday, May 14, 1981 The Newspaper Page H3 Seven is enough. No, that's not the name of a new low-budget family sitcom. sit-com. That's the message the Park City Rugby Football Club was given when the time came to pick players for last Saturday's tournament tour-nament in Idaho Falls. Seven-man rugby? Yep. Park City was one of eight area clubs to send representatives represen-tatives to the Idaho Falls "sevens" tournament. And for most of the players, it was a learning experience. "It was the first time we'd ever played seven-man rugby," admitted Rick Phaler, one of Park City's magnificent seven. "But everybody played really outstandingly." out-standingly." Top prize in the tournament tour-nament went to a side from Utah State University. The host Idaho Falls Zebras were second. The Muckers finished fourth. The games were played on a regulation rugby field, but used less than half of the regulation (15-man) rugby side. Instead of eight men in a scrum, there were three. The rest of the side was composed of a scrum half and three backs. According to Phaler, the seven-man game is great for practicing the fundaments. fundamen-ts. "I think I made nunv tackles in one day than I did all last year." Mercifully, each game was only 20 minutes long. "That was about all it took," Phaler said. In the opening round, the Muckers faced the Mud Ducks, a new side from the Provo area. As the game ended, en-ded, the Muckers were two points behind. "As it turns out, they used a player that wasn't on their roster," Phaler said. "So we lost, but we won (by forfeit)." for-feit)." The second round pitted the Muckers against the Zebras. Phaler said he couldn't remember the exact score, but that the host team won convincingly. The Muckers bounced back to win their third game at the expense of the Salt Lake Griffins. John Sund-quist Sund-quist scored two tries for the winners. Then, in game four, the Muckers fated Utah State, the eventual tournament champions. "They killed us," Phlaer admitted. "We had a major breakdown in the tackling. "But we did score the last 10 points of the game, so we didn't give up." The Muckers are scheduled to face Utah State May 23 in Logan. "We're just going to have to get them when we play them at their place," Phaler said. Then, in their final game of the tournament, the seven-man Park City squad lost an 8-6 decision to Sun Valley. Phaler scored all his team's points on a drop kick and a penalty kick. Also representing the Muckers in the tournament were Blacky Jones, Craig Haren, Bob "Furry" Lewis and Jim Black. "Most of the team is anxious to go back and do it again," Phaler said. "Next year we're going to try to take at least one team and a few subs." He predicted that future seven-man Mucker sides would concentrate more on speed. "We didn't take any real fast guys," he said. For their fourth-place finish, the Muckers were given T-shirts and six-packs of beer. Refreshments were provided by Micheiob. "We thought we won the party," Phaler said. "But we had to leave." The Muckers are not scheduled to play again until their May 23 trip to Logan. Track team has long distance to go Here's the fantasy. Park City High School's fledgling track team, training train-ing without a track and without any equipment, goes to the Region 11 track meet in Coalville with a skeleton crew of 10. In spite of these tremendous 'handicaps, the Miners sweep to the region championship, shattering records along the way. Now here's the reality. It didn't happen. Park City's volunteer track coach, Bob Burns, did take a 10-man crew to Coalville last Friday to compete in the Region II championships. But the most the Miners came home with Clinic to be held for umpires Bob Reschke, who has conducted softball clinics for the American Softball Association As-sociation and who also has been a league commissioner and league umpire for ASA for more than 20 years, will be conducting two softball umpire clinics at the Memorial Memor-ial Building.

"We are limited by our facilities and by our lack of equipment." The Miners did manage to qualify athletes for the final round in two events. Shawn Packard made the finals in the long jump, and Darrin Lawless reached the last round in the discus, but neither placed in the top three. North Summit took first place in the meet, followed by Duchesne and Dugway. "All the schools have had track programs for years," Burns said. "Our team will get better next year, but it won't be great. We just hope to improve each year." Park City High School does not have a track budget Burns said that the discus and shot used in practice were borrowed from John Newland. "Track's an expensive sport to initiate," he pointed out. "There's a big front-end cost... but after that, it's relatively inexpensive." He said one of the most costly items would be the track itself.
