It takes a special breed to be a referee, Hale said. There is something in the personality of a referee to make him like to take control and like to make tough decisions. And perhaps that is why Hale admires eagles. Like a good referee, the eagle has the ability to make a swift, irreversible decision and move to the next decision with no regrets or second thoughts. If an official starts to think about No, when By KENT SOMERS Rviw Sports Editor Ray Hale sits in his office at his job, desk cleared, suit and tie on, talking quietly and laughing G. full-tim- e easily. But a transformation takes place at Hales job. Not that he becomes loud and obnoxious, but his environment does. Unlike the office e at his job, where decisions are made without much noise or argument, Hales part-tim- e job is part-tim- e full-tim- full of controversial decisions, are immediately and loudly which decisions which are criticized made with as many as 60,000 people looking over his shoulder in an i shaped like a strip mine. Back in Hales office as president of Elias Morris and Sons Company, a tile contracting firm in Salt Lake City, the only thing looking over his shoulder are eagles. There are no fans or coaches screeching at Hale, accusing him of missing a call, and no crashing onto each other in front of him. e WAC in 1956 and football in 1958. Hale quit refereeing basketball in 1980 when he reached his 50th birthday, a time when the WAC likes to retire its basketball officials. Hale started officiating and began with Elias Morris and Sons in the early 1950s when he decided to quit the University of Utahs basketball team because he was sitting on the boards instead of playing on them. It was my last year and I wasnt playing enough so I quit and needed a job to get a degree, Hale said. the e Make that jobs. One friend suggested he try refereeing and Hale decided to don a vertically-stripein his shirt, stick a mouth and start calling foul instead of committing them. My first ballgame was for the senior scouts at the Centerville Third Ward, said Hale, who has lived in Bountiful since 1961. After quitting the Ute team, Hale also followed the suggestion of a friend who told him to apply at Elias Mor d noise-mak- past games and mistakes, said Hale, he could be heading for trouble. Basically, its the personality of an official to be more critical of himself than anyone else is, Hale said. You have to forget the bad ones (games) and. remember the good ones. Hale has had a few of both since he started officiating basketball in 250-poun- d, ; er ris, the second oldest business in Utah, Hale said. He started work the next morning, and his first job was installing acoustic tile in the Centerville Third Ward, the same place where he started his officiating career, and the two jobs have held Hales interest since that time. He has flown 850,000 miles on business for Elias Morris and the WAC, and has worked 580 baseball games, 510 volleyball games, 2,510 basketball games and 497 football games, according to a diary Hale keeps after each game he works. And when he was younger, Hale said, basketball games were his favorite to officiate. I love basketball and I knew the floor really well, he said. It was much more of a challenge because 90 percent of the judgment calls depend on the angle you see it. But football is more enjoyable as you get older. The decisions are just as tough but not as frequent. Normally, the WAC allows its officials to work until age 55, which would be three more years for Hale, and he realizes with some regret that his part-tim- e job may be over, and someone else will take his office space. I can remember working a jpme for Roman Gabriel when he was playing and then his son at New Mexico. Id better get out before the grandson comes along. But Hale will stay with his fulltime job as president of one of the largest subcontracting firms in the state, which forced him to resign his job as chairman of the Davis County Planning Commission. Hale joined the commission in 1971 when someone called and said, Ray, would you like to be on the planning commission. More decisions that would not always be accepted graciously by some people. Hale said yes. It was fun. I enjoyed it while I was there. I ended up being on it for 11 years. President of a company, successful college official, who has worked a California Bowl, a Fiesta Bowl, 1AA football playoff games and six NCAA basketball playoff games and a member of the countys planning not bad for a guy who commission started his two careers in a small church house in Centerville. y In the Market for a Bicycle?
