His resignation has been accepted for April 1. ' The following letter from Beattie to Earl Walters, president of the U.S. Ski Association, explains our present position in competitive skiing. The letter was sent to us from Beatties office and for this reason we assume it is public information. The letter: . ; As you know I had expressed the desire in 1964, to leave coaching following the 1968 Olympics, which I did. Last spring it appeared that an important transitional period was ahead, which is why I agreed to stay on in an administrative position. I am confident that this period has successfully passed. Our new head coaches are firmly directing their teams. Our offices have now been consolidated in Denver and an executive hired. We have hired a development coordinator who has done a great job of coordinating the USSA with our divisions. vice-preside- nt Eight Couches Hired By NORM SHEYA By GEORGE FERGUSON Assistant Sports Editor LOGAN Utah States basketball Aggies have a bright star or two pn the horizon, but as a team they are a long way off from becoming a Cache Valley milky way.

Divisional fund important are being strengthened and our programs raising eight divisions now share in funds raised for the U.S. ski team program. Supporting committees are being organized throughout the country and hopefully by spring we will have at least 10 strong committees soliciting large donors, corporations and foundations. As far as fund raising We are now in our second year of developing a merchandising program to support the U.S. Ski Team, utilizing the firm of International Management Corporation. Not only have large sums of money been realized from this relatively new form of support for amateur teams, but we also are receiving great publicity and promotional benefits. An example can be seen in the three films recently produced by Pontiac where 600 copies are now being distributed free of charge. Our Bonne Bell friends have supported our team in numerous other ways in addition to our regular agreement with them. The future here is unlimited. Comprehensive Coverage Press and television coverage of ski racing is well- are Our programs comprehensive. documented in daily newspapers, magazines, and on television. Some measure of this can he seen by the fact that at least six of our alpine competitions will be televised nationally this winter. In fact, on January 23, the first prime time ski race, other than the Olympics, will be televised on ABC.
