Tooke Developments. The project is located at 995 East Center in Provo near the entrance of the proposed Heritage Mountain ski resort. Owner financing of the units runs counter to current market trends by featuring fully amortized contracts at the fixed annual rate of 11 and one half percent. "A longer term with lower interest makes Heritage View affordable for almost anyone," said Tooke. Seventeen units priced at $38,000 each are now available for immediate occupancy. Each home includes 40-ye- carpeting, drapes, . range, per mile per sponsor, and then rides 50 miles would earn $100 for Cystic Fibrosis research. However, an eight year old, who gets 15 sponsors at 30 per mile per sponsor, and then rides 25 miles would earn $112.50 for Cystic Fibrosis. The key is the number of sponsors and the amount per mile pledged. Anyone interested in participating can pick up registration forms and sponsor sheets at any of the following y businesses: Schwinn, 650 East State, American Fork Shopping Center; McDonalds, 405 East State, Am.

S Tricks Of The Trade 995 condominiums East Center, Provo, Utah A spitball can be a very effective illegal) pitch if thrown correctly. If not, the pitcher may say goodbye to one more homerun. A spitball is thrown by lubricating the ball, the fingers, or both with saliva, Vaseline, oil or any other slippery substance and throwing the ball in a normal motion until the final seconds when it should be released like squirting a watermelon seed. (and The principle behind the spitball, once again, is not something mystical it works because of a very real law of physics. The unusual release of the ball allows air friction to work more on the seams of the ball, causing it to dip and drop. The spitball, however, -- ' unlike other pitches - takes literally years to learn. A pitcher might practice three years before his first successful spitter. Because of the unusual release, a great deal of strain is put on the arm. For this reason (coupled with the illegality of the pitch), young people should not experiment with the spitter at all. 40-Ye- ar Fully Amortized Contracts At 11 - By JOHN EIGENAUER Several years ago during a college bowl game, I witnessed one of the of all time. With the great shang-hai'- s game on the line in the final minutes, the offensive team was down by a mere four points. A field goal wouldn't be enough only a touchdown would win it. On third down and short yardage near the 30 yard line, this running team would surely go with their strength: the quarterback option to the right side. The team lined up in ordinary fashion as the center snapped the ball to the quarterback who rolled to the right. The backfield followed and the front line pulled to lead the sweep. All eleven defenders eyed the quarterback and followed the offense to the right side of the field. But something was missing: the ball. - On the center snap, the center had lighly touched the ball to the quarterback's fingers and then laid the ball on the ground. While ten players swept right and eleven defenders followed, the offensive right guard sauntered over, picked up the ball and trotted in with the winning touchdown. Ole! The announcers missed it, the cameramen missed it, the fans missed it and most importantly, the defense missed it. Sports often involves deception. The more that one can do without the opposition knowing, the better. Football has legal deceptions. With backs pretending that they have the ball and defense constantly trying to make the offense think that they are doing something they aren't, football becomes very much a thinking man's game. The amount of cheating is limited because of penalties that can nullify a play and the number of officials on the field during a game. Baseball, however, is a different story. There cannot be any penalties assessed on a play in baseball. Once a play has reached its completion, there is no nullification of the play despite the infraction. If one is caught cheating, one's hands are slapped with the caution that that is not to be done again; but the penalty ends there. The most classic and well known example of cheating in baseball is what we know as the spitball. Most people think that a spitball is thrown by merely salivating on the baseball and throwing it, thereby causing some magical power to take over and cause the ball to be unhittable. No so. Another trick in the art of pitching is cutting the ball. This practice has almost become widespread on the professional level because of the ease and effectiveness. A sliced ball will simply catch the wind on the cut, causing the ball to move in practically any direction. There is no the special delivery or release pitcher just throws and lets nature take over. Most major leaguers who practice the fine art of butchering the ball do so with their belt buckles or hidden metal objects. One pitcher, Whitey Ford, is rumored to have let his catchers, Elston Howard or Yogi Berra, do the dirty work by cutting the ball on their shin guards upon returning the ball to the mound. Despite the illegality of spitters or cut balls and their widespread use, only three pitchers in the last 60 years have been ejected from a game for doctoring the ball, the most recent being Rick Honeycutt of the Seattle Mariners. Before Honeycutt, it was 1944 when the last pitcher was caught. Honeycutt, a pitcher, had taped a thumb tack to his left index finder and was cutting the ball when he needed a good pitch. The umpires did not take kindly to his antics and Rick was suspended for ten days. No Closing Costs No Points Heritage View Condominiums are located less than a mile from BYU and only 400 feet from the entrance of the proposed Heritage Mountain Ski Resort.

On Provo's beautiful Center Street, you'll be within easy reach of parks, downtown shopping, restaurants, entertainment and much more! - right-hande- d Besides illegal pitches, batters also try to get away with little advantages. Batters have been known to drill holes in the ends of bats to insert lead, cork or even superballs. The result has almost always been successful. After the batter is caught, the bat is thrown out of the game, but the hit will stand forever in the box score. Another effective batting aid (also illegal) is the flattening of one side of the bat to allow a greater surface area for the ball to strike. Others put ridges in their bats to grip the ball as it hits. Both these methods will bring a most assured ejection from the game of the player's favorite bat. The list of tricks in baseball can go on and on with shineballs, managers having the basepaths watered before a speedy team comes into town, making batter's boxes bigger, making them smaller, moving the fences, sending midgets to the plate and a thousand other antics that only serve to make more rules at the end of the year.
