And with fewer TV and fan revenues, the money pie will continue to shrink, compounding the existing problem even more. It was not too long ago the NCAA men's basketball tournament was played in relative obscurity. Or since the television networks doled out relatively small bucks for broadcast rights to the NFL and NBA. But players like Dr. J, Kareem, d Magic, Larry Bird and in off a fan explosion the sports world that made watching and going to sports Michael-touche- events the "in" thing to do. With more fans coming to games, owners charged more for tickets claiming their costs have risen. They could do it because it was what the market j could bear. But all this bickering is destined to turn off the fans and the owners and players both stand to lose money in the long run if fewer people pay to see the games played, Even universities are not exempt from criticism from their studcnlalhletes, whom they pay a meager stipend each month, but inexplicably, keep them from earning an honest e day's pay by working at a job while they play for the school. The school gets all the revenues, and the players get the privilege to play and cam an education while they're at it. They just ban them from working, which can be hard on a married athlete with children.

The win propelled the Dinos into the top spot in the 3A football rankings d Cedar City after previously lost its opener. Carbon had beaten the Wasps on opening night last year in Heber City 25-- 6 and Dino coach Jeff Jorgensen wanted to leave nothing to chance this pounding the ball over, through and around the Wasatch line with running backs Pagano and Kenny Manzanares. We went with the run so (Wasatch) would gear for that, said Jorgensen. That let Dustin (Rich) go out and do his job and he did everything we asked him to do. Richs job in his first varsity start at quarterback included handing the ball off 33 times to his backs while throwing the ball just eight times. Rich was intercepted just once on the night when Wasp defender Greg Wal top-ranke- d, 22-yar- 15-1- tilt could play with them, It was probably a case of nerves. The Carbon girls volleyball team stumbled in its season opener last Thursday in the Dino gym against 5A power American Fork, 15-The loss showed coach Alayne Carrillo where the weak spots are in the Dino attack, and it showed the players they could play well against a taller veteran team. It was a good opener for us, Carrillo said. It gave us several things to work on in practice. Carbon lost the first game against the Cavegirls before they knew what hit them. We just had poor communication in the first game, the coach commented. Carrillo and assistant coach Betty Banning were encouraged with the Carbon effort in the second game. The Dinos put together good defense and good passing in the second game to lead the entire game until a couple of untimely service errors. 1, 15-1- 3. ' y in Carbon's Ban- ning said. The Dinos will be preparing for their Region 11 schedule which begins next week. First up, though, is a home match Wednesday against the Uintah Utes out of Region 10. Carrillo said she expects the Utes to be tall and scrappy, in other words, a worst-cas- e scenario. She said the Dinos will be working on better communication and passing and moving the defensive blocks in a bit to cut down the hitting angle. We also need to get our tips down quicker, she added. They were hanging in the air too long. The JV girls lost a tough match to American Fork 15-Banning said the team led most of the first game before succumbing to the 16-1- 4, Pagano and Manzanares, 6.

Dino pressure, sacks and Wasatch penalties forced the Wasps to punt out of their own endzone on their next possession, only to have the punt fumbled uu k to the Wasps in good field position. The Dino defense held again and a fake punt around the left side by Wasatch on fourth and eight was stopped cold by David Pulsipher and I rd gain.

In the second half, they put what they learned to good use, mauling the smaller, less experienced Wasatch line for gainer after gainer. Pagano carried the ball 14 times for 172 yards on the night while fellow runner Manzanares churned out 60 yards on seven carries, including a touchdown run late in the first quarter. Their front six just dominated us, said Wasatch coach Monte Morgan. Our inexperience showed tonight. Wasatch was fired up to start the game with the Wasp defense holding Carbon on its first, rather conservative offensive series. Wasatchs offense got the ball and took the momentum and ran several successful plays, but killed itself with three straight penalties. Dino strong safety Manzanares put the hurt on Wasp quarterback Mark Pitts on third and long with a huge hit n as Pitts was releasto the ing a pass that flew high and out of bounds. It knocked Pitts out for the rest of the first half. It did not get any better when the Wasatch punter dropped the snap on fourth down and Carbon recovered.

West Fork of Duchesne River artificial flies and lures only. Fcrron Reservoir The reservoir has been drawn down for dam repair. No further stockings have been scheduled for this year. Huntington Creek The creek will be replanted during the week of Aug. 22. Good fly patterns include the double renegade and grasshopper, although good success has been reported with a variety of dry flies. Huntington (Mammoth) Lake Troll-er- s have done best with rainbow-colore- d spinners, or with pop gear and night crawlers. Fishing from shore is rated as fair. The U.S. Forest Service has asked that no vehicles drive down to the shoreline. Anglers are encouraged to pack all boats to the water. Kro-codi- le Lake Powell Striper boils are anticionce water pated temperatures dip into the 70s. Smallmouth bass can consistently be caught lakewide. Catfish and bluegill fishing is excellent. For more information, call the Lake Powell hotline at Success at Manti Mountain lakes i many high elevation waters is expected to improve with cooler fall temperatures. Until that happens, the catch will continue to be modest. Strawberry Reservoir The algae is coming on strong making fly fishing and trolling a little more difficult. Rainbows, cutthroats and kokanee salmon are all beginning to concentrate near inlets to the reservoir. Kokanee spawn will occur shortly. Anglers are reporting that fish have a mossy taste. It will help the flavor of the fish if anglers bring a cooler with ice rather than dragging fish on a stringer. If you troll, be prepared to release fish. There is a one cutthroat limit, but please release all cutthroat trout to help the cutth- roats become self-sufficie- nt with reproduc- tion populations. Cutthroat trout can be differentiated from the rainbow trout by the bright orange fins along the belly. Strawberry River Reports of good fishing. Closed to the possession of cutthroat or trout with cutthroat markings. Deer Creek Reservoir Gishing is slow to fair. Best success is by trolling pop gear. Utah Lake Channel catfishing fair. Use shrimp or stinky bait. Provo River Fishing pressure is moderate to heavy along the artificial only section. Good fishing success using various d hares nymphs and dry flies. Try Griffins Gnat, Midge pupa nymph patear, terns or a Pale Moening Dun Dry fly; sizes Terrestrials (grasshoppers) should be effective by now.
