Others stare into the future and can't see beyond Elvis. As the 49ers approach the halfway point of the season, their quarterbacks are subjects for network debate and columnists' fury, and can anyone figure out what in the name of Eddie DeBartolo is going on? The 49ers have said Young is their man, and they will extend his contract beyond 1997, its expiration date. But that won't happen until after the season. They also said they want to keep Young's backup, Elvis Grbac, whose contract expires in February. Grbac's agent, Jim Steiner, plans to meet with team President Carmen Policy early next week and while Steiner indicated Grbac would be willing to sit for 1997, he also indicated Grbac won't stay if Young's contract is extended. "If Steve extends, it means they're not making a commitment to Elvis," Steiner said. Question: Is two a crowd? Grbac wants to be a starter no later than 1998, which is understandable. And Young.. .well, he won't look beyond the next game which in this case is against Houston saying. "I found that looking too deeply can cause headaches." Young should know. He waited patiently for his turn while the 49ers stuck with Joe Montana. Now, he acts impatiently playing heroically in a game last weekend when he probably should have to keep his job, and stayed out the pressure never quits. "The pressure remains constant, whoever is playing," Young said. "I felt that way in 1988. in 1991 and in 1994.

The Timberwolves closed with touchdowns from John Hecker and Sam Lava Lava before Russ Beck's dash completed the scoring for American Fork. "I thought we played with a great amount of intensity for this 49-ya- time of year." said Caveman coach Davis Knight. "We were in a situation where we knew we were heading to the playoffs, but we still treated the game with a lot of respect." Timpanogos finished its first season with an 0-- 7 record in league and 0-- 9 overall. Despite that, coach Mark McKenney was upbeal. "It's been a great year," McKenney said. "The kids have battled real hard. I don't believe we ever quit." Knight, too, was impressed with the Timberwolves. "You've got to hand it to their coaching staff and kids," he said. "They had a lot of class. These coaches are going to have a lot of success." - 17 pro 13. KSL 1160 AM) a m Equestrian competition (ESPN) NFL. Pantners at Eagles (KISN 570 11 .11am AM) mm play to it." A MVP, four-tim- e league passing leader and the NFL's highest-rate- d career passer. Young has struggled since leading the 49ers to victory in Super Bowl XXIX. Last season he missed five games because of an injured left shoulder, and this year he has fought back from a debilitating strained groin. In the 10 games he has started since returning from the shoulder injury (six last year, four this season). Young hasn't been himself touchdown passes and throwing 13 interceptions. But it's not those numbers that concern the 49ers. It's this one: 35. Young turned 35 two weeks ago, and the 49ers suddenly are decifaced with an sion: Stick with the aging veteran or invest the future in a backup who has won as a starter and is nine years younger. The team wants to keep both, but that might take more money than even the 49ers can manage under the salary cap. "You can't help but learn this is a business," said Young, who has a $4,975 million cap figure. "In team sports, we always try to encourage the ideas of camaraderie and but it's a professional game, and in the end, it's a business. "Talking about 1998 and those kinds of things are not going to change the way I play ball. I don't want it to become a business to me. I want to eliminate that kind of reaction if I can." Sunday. Young courageously fought through the painful groin injury to rally the 49ers from a 21-- 7 halftime deficit scoring the winning touchdown on an improbable bootleg. More than that, however, he gave all of us a glimpse of what it means to be two-tim- e 1 1 rd Steve Young. "Healthy and strong. I can play football for a long time," Young said. "This is not like my arm last something that could affect year this is just a matter of my career getting healthy. I think using the word 'vindication' is too strong a term (for what happened last weekend). I think it was more proving I can play with injury and win tough games." Young might have to do that for the rest of the season, but it's a prospect neither he nor agent Leigh Steinberg finds daunting. For one, Young believes the injury is healing. For another, Steinberg believes Young is not playing for his job. "He's not," said Policy, who pointed out the 49ers already plan on Young starting in 1997. "I feel strongly we can structure contracts to take care of everyone's needs and desires if they let us." Perhaps, but Steinberg conceded that for the first time, he and Young have talked about the possibility of Young ending his career somewhere besides San Francisco a prospect Young would not welcome. "He's already stared in the face of the worst thing that can happen," Steinberg said, "and if you can do that, then everything else is better." As far as serv ing out his career as a backup. Young said. "There's a better chance of me being a lawyer." And as for finishing his career with the 49ers, Young can only hope. "My body will have a lot to say about that," he said. "My commitment is to this team and to the and Super Bowl because they the comradeship are what I play for. The rest are just statistics." in 3A action?

Emery, which had marched downfield in an impressive scoring drive to start the game, seemed to have the wind knocked out of its sails as a seemingly sure scoring opportunity went by the wayside when Wasatch senior defensive back Nathan Hatch intercepted an Evan Stilson pass to swing the momentum toward the Wasps. Wasatch made the most of jts chances and turned the game around after the turnover by scoring three times in a y period and adding another touchdown run by senior Jake Probst just before the half fora. 3 advantag&iat j commanding the break. "That interception seemed ,lo light a spark for us," said an elated Wasatch coach Monte Morgan after the game. "We got that big turnover and really took control, Emery looked so big on their game films, but our lines just dominated them all night." Mair scampered around the touchdown right end for a run midway through the third period to put the game out of reach. Stilson, visibly limping on a sprained ankle, added a late touchdown screen pass to Emery senior Benny Grimm to close the scoring, but the Wasps recovered an onside kick at midlleld and ran the last five minutes of the clock out on a series of successful running plays.

Last year, the city of Orem appointed n special citizens' committee to study Orcm's traffic problems. In March, the committee made the following recommendations: Add a third travel lane to 1300 South between 800 East and State Street. Widen 800 East between 1300 South and 800 South. Widen Sandhill Road from 1300 South to 1450 South. Straighten 800 South between 900 East and Cartcrville Road to eliminate switchbacks. Improve the following intersections by enhancing signal capability, adding lanes, andor other modifications: 1600 North State Street 800 North Palisade Drive 1600 North 1200 West 800 North State Street Why do we need a bond? There simply isn't enough money in Orem's current budget to accomplish the needed improvements. The projects are too big and the urgency is too great. Through the issuance of a genetal bond, the proposed improvements can be made within the next two years. What will it cost? The estimated cost to unplug Orem's arteries and make the other recommended improvements is $10,650,000. To cover the costs, the city of Orem proposes the issuance of a general obligation road bond to be repaid over the next 20 years. For a taxpayer with a $100,000 home, it will cost about $2.78 per month. Saving money is only one of the benefits. Vote FOR the Orem Road Bond. You'll be voting for cleaner air, fewer traffic all for delays, and safer neighborhoods about the cost of a hamburger. Orem is one of the most liveable cities in America.
