By WENDELL RIGBY Herald Sports Writer Weather conditions have not been conducive to the best results in the Spring Sports program in Central Utah the past few weeks. Each of the teams in the Region Five and Region Seven areas have tried to get in some practice sessions, and some meets in baseball and track have been scheduled, but generally they have resulted in cancellations, and few competitive events have actually been 1 v completed. Provo High School did manage to get in one baseball game; a practice affair with a Salt Lake County team, which they won, but most schools are merely marking time and waiting for the weather man to show some signs of cooperation. The mammoth BYU Invitational Track and Field Meet is an affair scheduled for April 17, 18 and 19; and the Regional Track and Field Meet has already been set up for May Mr. Risby 2 in the BYU Stadium.

' inter-communi- ty Provo once had a Twilight League, where Lob Collins and other players had their start, and they served as fine feeders for the Industrial League before the coming of Hooks Iott, and the military boys of the war period that introduced high priced players and spoiled the game for the "average baseball fan. When Little League, Pony League and Chief League graduates have come in to their own, maybe some of that old time fire and enthusiasm can be regenerated, but it may take a Utah County League in place of the Industrial League with its outside teams, to get people thinking again of the rivalries that featured contests between Provo and American Fork; between Spanish Fork and Springville, and such other contests to make people fill the ball parks in support of their favored team.
