Show Orem-Geneva Times Thursday, Sept. 20, 1962 Sports - Seeing With Dean It's amazing how many of today's colleges and universities universi-ties are discovering the pinch of professional sports. It isn't even necessary for the . pro teams to share the same city with the schools ... TV does enough of a job to pull fans from the stadiums barck to the comfort of big chair and small screen. But now the Athletic Association Ass-ociation of Western Universities, Universi-ties, known as the "Big 5" on the Pacific Coast have decided to do something about the menace. They are going to give college athletics the 'hard sell' to help survive. Over the years,' professional sports have killed such schools as Foijdharm, University of San Francisco, C olumbla, New York University and so forth. Big city schools, yes, but that's , where professional sports got It's big start, where the big money was. Now, the pros are moving out across the countryside, country-side, into medium sized citie3 like Denver and Houston, and Into Big cities never before bit Roller Skating at Riverside Skating Rink 551 West 12th No. Skating: Evry Night Except Tuesday and Sundays Matinee ' Sat. 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday Specical 35c Monday Night $2.00 (all the family) Tuesday Nights Private Parties By Reservation Special Party Rates Phone FR 3-9187 HE'S GOT YOUR NUMBER or hat hat) If the telephone you use Is listed under another's name, chancesare you've been missing miss-ing some important calls.

' Do you realize the competition competi-tion for the sports dollar in a city like Los Angeles? A pro football team' (there were two until last year), 2 pro basketball basket-ball teams, two major league baseball teams, minor league pro hockey, USC and UCLA, the smaller schools like L.A. State, Pepperdine, etc., the high schools, which will draw very big crowds to all games for football even on into December, De-cember, plus the amateur teams like Kirby's shoes, etc. Then there are enough schools- on the fringe of Los Angeles to really make for a headache. ' For years the colleges sal back and watched the dollars roll in. No work, not much publicity needed. The fans were ready made by the graduation grad-uation lists and everyone enjoyed en-joyed the old college spirit. But then along came professionalism. profess-ionalism. First toaFeball, theii football, and finally basketball. basket-ball. Then came two leagues iri each of the sports, and an attempt at-tempt at a third in baseball Suddenly with v?ar around selling, organization of booster groups, bus tours from out-lying areas, the college stadium crowd became smaller and smaller, te pros crowds grew. Surprisingly, it took the college officials a long time to catch on. They somehow couldn't see the wave of professionalism pro-fessionalism spreading westward. west-ward. They weren't preparen to f'ght for their crowds when professional sports invaded a once all-college area. But gradually the recogniz-ation recogniz-ation of the problem has gained gain-ed life. The BIG 10 learned to live with professionalism, now other areas are learning the lesson of getting along. Watch for the hard sell in college athletics in the future more than ever before. roiession- . .

It cduld come suddenly. It's our hope that our schools will be prepared to meet the invasion wisely. When tragedy struck at the Bonneville Salt Flat argain last ' week, it was the second time a high speed attempt has been made without the outstanding out-standing and c o m p 1 e tely thorough preparations t h a-t marked the runs of John Cobb and others of his era. Glenn Leacher, who died In the flaming explosion of his let car was attempting speeds that were too great for his under-inflated tires. He was making the run without his pit crew and the timing of ficials knowing he was going after a 400 mile hour mark. The sad ending told just how unprepared he really was to attempt speeds of 300 MPH and up. It also makes us wonder if let cars are the -proper vehicle for ' attempting such speea runs. In our books, a car with a jet engine should be put in a completely different and new category than the piston engine en-gine records-which -have been set on the flats for a half cen- ,19 vi VJi. 9 Ull'li t i By Ruth Louise Partridge Army's Top Award For Valor ARMY'S MEDAL OF HONOR EXHIBIT Is viewed" by Vice President Presi-dent Lyndon B.

The men on the radio kept saying over and over that the "turn out would foe light. Always was light for primaries etc. etc. Well, as often happens, the experts ex-perts were wrong. J began to think they -were wrong when they first said it. It seemed to me people were very interested interest-ed in this election. Then, when we went to vote, we found several sev-eral people there. This is not usually the case. We generally vote in solitude. Did you vote?j If you didn't, I'm ashamed of you and I don't care who you are. If my ninety-passed-year-old-mother can get out and vote, so can you darnit. My mother has never held an office of any kind or description, de-scription, or aspired to but she would no more think of not going to vote than of not getting up in the morning. I wish everyone could make this sts'ement. Death cheated the law at the Point of the Mountain this morning. I shudder to think of the barrage of invective and accusation, THAT will bring. I foresee the abolishment oi capital punishment, for better or for worse, because of the screams of a minority who always al-ways bleed for the criminal and not the victim, somehow. But they are voca-1. They have a Cause and they make themselves them-selves heard. That is the dit- tury. It's a completely new idea. There can really be no comparison. The engine does not drive the wheels. The wheels are simply there to hold the jetoff the ground. Put wing3 on the craft, and even the wheels wouldn't be necessary. ' We hope the Bonneville Association As-sociation will ta-ke due note of some of the incidents that have happened at the Salt Flats in past couple of years. Certainly there's a lot that can be done to standardize the procedures at the Salt Fla-ts. Only trouble seems to be that it takes money which isn't available.

Millions of years ago nature fashioned a proving ground . for trucks that man can never duplicate. Today it is known as the Baja (bah' hah) California Peninsula, Mexico. These pictures give you only a bare idea of the place. The road is fine for 140 miles below the U.S. border. Then the beating begins. Rocks and hard-baked ruts bang, jab and jerk the trucks from stem to stern. Loose sand makes them struggle and strain. Dust chokes them. Heat roasts ' them. Rivers drench them. The Baja Run took this Chevrolet Chev-rolet truck caravan 17 days to go the 1,066 miles. All the trucks performed magnificently. magnifi-cently. Not one was forced to drop out because of mechanical difficulty. Trucks that can take this kind of beating can take on your toughest tough-est truck jobs.
