Though the Lakers won only four matches, all four were of the variety; they finished with a respectable 24 points, while Roiy finished with 32. Roy had no contender in the 98 pound bracket, and Bonnevilles Scott Wilson won by default for six big points. From that point, the Royals won all matches except for pins in the 145, 167, and heavy weight divisions. Greg Hipwell, in an epic 105 pound exciting Bonnevilles Dave Terry moved out advantage over Val Sanders in the 1.45 pound match, and then pinned his Royal opponent to break a string of to a struggle, defeated Lakers Brett Mark Housely got Roys first pin of the night.

Next victory for the Royals came in the 126 pound division. Both coaches had expected their man to win, but Bruce Odow trounced Ron Baxter 2 to add points for Roy. Roys Jeff Gorder Ray Bowcutt were in a scoreless tie, after two periods in their 132 pound match, but Gorder rallied to beat Bowcutt 2 to add valuable points for his team. In the 138 pound weight division, Roys Terry Wheelwright had a comfortable lead over Shaun Smith, but almost got pinned in the last minute of battle. Smith got a last The Royals were leading going into the 185 pound match, with only the heavy weight match to go. The dual meet was still up for grabs; Two pins could win it all for the Lakers, but the Royals had only to win one for the team victory. Shane DeHart pinned Dennis Jeffs to seal the victory for Roy and the fact that Bonnevilles Alan Watson pinned Roys John Cummings had no bearing on the final outcome.

It was a rewarding evening for Coach Ryley Summers and for Roy High School after two consecutive years of wrestling supremacy, the Royals emerged the victory against the Lakers. It was Coach Summers first win over Bonneville. Coach Dan Slaugh would not concede any match going into his dual meet with the Royals but he was wary of them and knew they were hungry for a win. Both coaches are to be . commended for their wrestling programs at Roy and Bonneville. poinMaKEcJaiF shorts Sports realignment the A WEBER S RICKY TANNER puts his Clearfield opponent to the mat and pinned him in less than 40 seconds of the first round. It was the first d match been he ', involved within over two months. wrestling j j , l , , , Lancers hawe tight grip on Region One It may appear to most that Layton has the top Region One wrestling squad and that appearance may be true. But anyone who knows anyting about wrestling will understand that anything can happen in a region meet when everything is brought together. Now that you understand that the sport of grappling is an everything, anything, and anyone sport, we will proceed. The Layton Lancers cleared up a lot of questions about the 1980 dual meet championship last week by pinning Sky View for their first dual meet loss of ths season, 5 The Lancers probably wont lose anymore in dual meet competition 27-2- though the Warriors of Weber could give them the best battle. But if predicted on the way the Lancers have wrestled so far this season, the Coach Hansen team would have to have the edge. In other dual meet competition last Thursday at local high schools, Weber got their first Region One victory of the season by demolishing Clearfield 5 and Roy earned a good victory over Bonneville 32 to 24. Weber crushed Clearfield Coach Scott Tennis knows his program is lacking in comparison to the squad he fielded last year at Clearfield, but he says his kids arent giving up and that was shown true last 44-1- Thursday. The Clearfield team is extremely young with really only one senior with any varsity experience at all. The future looks a lot brighter than the conditions that surround the next few weeks. Steve Ulibarri of Clearfield is a good surprise for Clearfield. Steve won both of his matches last week and both of them were pins. Steve pinned Wilson of Bonneville and Song Pak of Weber. d Ricky Tanner, Webers wrestler, hadnt hardly touched the mat all season long till last Thursday in Clearfield. Tanner, a junior, came out aggressive and pinned his op ponent in green in less than 40 seconds. It was a good victory for Tanner who two days later claimed the championship in the Bountiful tournament for the second straight year. Bart Bushman defeated Perez of Clearfield Manuel 13-1- 0. Scott Van Orden of Weber then edged Simon Perez of Clerfield Cliff Vaterlaus, Clearfield; Brad Story, Weber; Andre Malan, Weber; Blake McMcllian, Clearfield; Eric Burton, Weber; Dennis Singleton, Weber; Danny Eastman, Weber; and Brian Harris, Weber all were victorious in the remaining matches. 5-- 4. of NFL? Theyre talking abourt realigning the NFL and Sportstacular got hold of some of the possible realignments. It will be interesting to see what takes place in the next three years. How about this one? AFC WEST Seattle, Oakland, San Francisco, Loss Angeles, San Diego., NFC WEST Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Denver (with room for Phoenix). AFC CENTRAL Pittsburg, Cleveland, Cincinatti, Detroit, (with room for Birmingham or Memphis). , r , NFC CENTRAL Minnesota, Green Bay, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis. AFC EAST Miami, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Baltimore, Washington. NFC EAST Giants, Jets, Buffalo, New England, Philadelphia. That, obviously, is radical, and a complete jumbling of present affiliations. But it would work very well. Suppose, on the other hand, one wanted to minimize switches from one conference to another. By moving only Houston and Denver into the NFC and only LA and SF into the AFC, one could get the following pattern:' AFC WEST and NFC WEST-Sa- me as above. AFC CENTRAL Pittsburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City. NFC CENTRAL Minnesota, Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, AFC EAST Miami, Baltimore, Jets, Buffalo, New England (Same as it is now). NFC EAST Giants, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Tampa Bay. This wouldnt be quite as compact as the first plan, but a great improvement over the present system, say some sportswriters. r This week among Utah colleges The schedule among Utah college teams this week starts this Thursday with more heated action in the PCAA and Big Sky Conference.

According to Don Andriano, fisheries chief for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, the bill, if expanded, could bring an additional $250,000 to Utah for fisheries management. The Dingell-Johnso- n Act currently imposes a 10 per cent federal manufacturers excise tax on fishing rods, reels, creels and articicial Hires. During the 28 years since the Dingell-Johnso- n $268 enactment, million has been collected. Utah receives about $500,000 each on a 5 year matching basis (75 per cent federal; 25 per cent state). The money has been spent enhancing the fishery resources throughout Utah The proposed expansion would add fishing lines, tackle boxes and other accessories to the list with a 10 per cent excise tax and add a 3 per cent tax on boats (25 feet or less), motors and trailers. Kayaks, hydroplanes sailboats and commercial craft would be exempt from the tax The expansion would generate nearly 100 million new fisheries dollars per year Utah coidd receive an additional $250,000 per year should the legislation be adopted. According to Don Andriano, the additional funds are needed to keep up with inflated costs and increasing pressure on fishery resources Organizations backing the expansion of the Dingell-Johnso- n Act include Fisheries Society, International Association of Fish and wildlife Agencies, Izaak Walton League of America, National Wildlife Federation, Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, American League of Angers Federal of Fly Fishermen, Trout Unlimited, Northwest bteeineaders and other groups interested in saving the Nations fishery resources. 75-2- DeHart's pin secures victory for Royals .
