A AiMess Jack Hannum Selected Layton High Deer Hunts Dates Set In First Round For SLC New Season Four antlerless deer hunts have been set in northern Utah. Three of these hunts are set forth in the 1977 deer proclamation as five day notice deer hunts. The remaining hunt is a conditional hunt that is being called to aid in relief of agricultural damage. Pro Rodeo Circuit Club THIS MAN, who claimed to have 42 years of hockey behind him thus making him an expert, claimed that my story was incorrect. He noted that I should have written the truth which is that without three certain players the Viking hockey team would be nothing. I tried to explain to this man that as little as I know about the sport, I know enough to know that three people dont take a club to a 27-- record without some help. He didnt seem to agree. His main argument was that with these three gone next year, they are seniors, the Vikes wont win anything. That doesnt make those three any better in my eyes, 0 1 WHAT IF the Vikes lose all the hockey games next year? Does that mean these three were the whole team. Not to me. The other teams could be better next year thus the competition tougher. Im not saying these three players arent good, as little as I know, I realize they are good. But to say that without these three they would be nothing is ridiculous. PEOPLE SAID that about BYU when they lost Gifford Neilsen, but in stepped Marc Wilson. A lot of people said Skyline was nothing without Danny Vranes last year, yet they won about ten games in a row without him. Does this man mean to tell me that if Skyline doesnt win the state crown this year then it was all Vranes the past two years? Sporting events are usually a team sport, and a team : effort is required to win. True Vranes, Neilsen and these three players are major contributors but they are not the entire team. . : 7 IVE SEEN the Viking hockey team, true these three players are good but there are also many other players who contribute to their winning season. This man was upset that I wrote that one player was, probably the best defensive player in the league. He noted that this player was the best in the league and that I should write the truth. There is no way as a writer I could ever write that, too many other athletes fighting for that honor. alright to say that a player was probably the best, but evidently it doesnt please everyone. This man also mentioned that if I didnt know that much about hockey, then I shouldnt write about it. I asked him to do it then being the expert and he consent-- : ed, so in the future maybe well have a guest writer. Crawford Mountain - 150 permits Dec.

QUARTERBACKING the elite squad is Bountifuls Chris Davies, who guided the team to a state quarterfinal berth and in Region One play. With Chris in the IN THE middle at the center spot is Bountifuls Steve Rudd. Coach Paul Waite called Steve one of the best centers hes ever coached. All year Rudd was a main stay in the Braves line. Also from Bountiful, big Dean Layton was selected as a tackle. Dean suffered an injury and missed a couple of games but came back strong to open up some huge holes. Layton placed a couple of their big horses on the first team with Wade Gillespie and . Pat Shaw being honored.

Amidan also suffered through an injury prone year but when he was healthy, he was murder on op- college heads. AGAIN THE voting was close and any of the second team members could have been selected to the first team. In some cases only one vote separated the two teams. Leading with the second squad is Layton quarterback Ben Bubak who is joined in the backfield by Bountifuls Bill Wemli and Roys Jon Hanson. The receivers are Scott Pendleton of Bountiful, Shane Smoot of Viewmont and Roger ' ponents. The receivers for the first unit are Rick Snow of Layton, Fred Fernandes of Roy. with Viewmonts Rick Hallows at the tight end spot.

East Layton SS&tS&S&t&XS) first basketball games one thing stands out above the rest; some football players take longer to catch on to the roundball game. BOUNTIFUL just might be one of those teams as the Braves opened last week against the Ben Lomond team. The Scots finished their football season before the Braves, and they dont have near the number of gridders on the club as the Bountiful pre-seas- group does. Not saying that was ihe reason for the Braves' loss, but some of the Bountiful players looked as if it had been a long time since they had touched a roundball. THE BRAVES will come around though so dont shed too many tears for them just yet. The big reason they will be alright this year is iheir center Irvy Williams. To see the improvement this fine athlete has made the past three years is an indication of what dedication and hard work will do. With Irvv in the middle, the Braves have a big man they can go to for some offensive punch. The forwards for the Braves look to bo Scott Pendleton and Brian Slagowski. Pendleton is a definite offensive throat from anywhere inside twentv feet, while Slagowski is a great rebounder who tomes up with a lot of cripples un derneath. BACKING UP these two will be Scott Crowther, when he gets back from an injury, Scott Stuart, the big junior, who is developing into a great athlete. Clair Asay, another senior is also expected to see some action. A fine shooter, Clair is the type of player that can come in and spark a club when down. Junior Lynn Muir could play either forward or guard on any given occasion. A fine outside shooter Lynn gives the Braves a good weapon against the zone. Guards for Bountiful are as quick as anv around in John Hazen aid Chris Davies. LAST YEAR in the junior varsity ranks these two caused a lot of problems with their speed and quickness. Davies is probably the better shooter of the two. Juniors who could give some added help to the club include Rod Kay. Mike Nelson. Blaine Bernard, Jeff Anderson and Wayne Nelson. Kevin Walker, another junior, is currently nursing a back injury but should help when he returns to action. BOUNTIFUL Coach John Robison is still looking for the right combination to work with, and one loss doesn't mean the panic button should be pushed. This team had a good year last year, and they have a lot of pride in them selves. fabrics first quality All frames are Quality Constructed All Upholstering done with expert craftmanship Match fabric samples in your home at your convenience workmanship guaranteed All Furniture should be an investment not an expense we also Reupholster your old Quality furniture finest (We make it good as new. craftsmanship anywhere) 258 W. 1800 N.
