It was the fifth inning that Clearfield did most of the damage. Before Bonneville could ever get three Clearfield men out, the Falcons had managed eight runs. The Lakers finally got on the scoreboard in the sixth inning with their only three runs. Rich Blackburns triple and 2 RBIs gave Coach Gardner something to smile about on a day when nothing seem to go right. Bybee and McFarland were the only other Lakers to gain a hit. Preps around Region One dove into another .season of baseball last Tuesday with plenty more action on tap for the week. Clearfield and Bonneville appear to be regarded as the teams to beat this spring, but Clearfield overshadowed their favored neighbors by in the first blasting the Lakers 15-- 3 region game for both clubs. Brook Hicks, a talented senior showcase, nearly thwarted Bonneville single-handil- y by pitching a three-hittand blasting a grand-slahome run. er m Hicks gave up three hits and three runs in going the distance for Clear- field.

The cold weather took its tool on both benches, but both teams shovvfeci moments of professionalism. The 7-- 2-- left-fiel- Warriors made two double-playu- s in the game, and Roys catcher, Ken Huddleston picked-of- f several Weber runners, and cut down two at the plate. The loss was very dissappointing for Coach Fred Thompson, who now is 4 in season play. For Coach Lee Dickamore, of Weber, it was a big win.

There are 20 practice days scheduled, but each day will depend on what mother nature brings in the form of weather. Head Coach Pete Riehlman, entering his fourth season at Weber State, looks to greet 56 players this Saturday, a rather high number for Spring hall. There will be four or five scrimmages mixed in with the practices, those scrimmage dates have not yet been set but will be announced through this office when they are firmed up. What is the coaching staffs number one priority for the upcoming season? Our number one goal will be to eliminate mental and physiucal mistakes that lead to so many turnovers last season, said Coach Riehlman. On the other side of the coin, we want our defense to create and get more turnovers from the other team. We just cannot win football games the amount of turnovers we had last season (48). Out of the 56 players reporting for Spring camp, 37 of them are who at one time or another last season, saw action as a starter. Only six lettermen will be missing from last years team, so there is plenty of experience, especially along the offensive line. First Team members in Weber does return two Big Sky free safety Mark Massey who led the team in interceptions with five, and offensive guard Tim Small who became only the second freshman in the history of the Conference to achieve First Team. Offensively, the only loss was running back Eric Hill, who was a four-yeletterman. A pair of Bills, Kelly and Tantillo, are the only two quarterbacks listed. Kelly has trimmed down to 225 pounds and should be much quicker this season. e First Team linebacker Defensively, Otto Ribary, a has graduated along with two fine defensive tackles, John Houser and Mike McLeod, so the defensive line is the main concern in filling those two voids. Although many defensive starters return, the problem will be depth, hopefully, six junior college transfers can help ease the situation. The kicking game should be very strong with Roger Ruzek back to do the placekicking and Bill Kelly to punt. Ruzek tied the school record twice last season for the longest field goal, 51 yards and was listed as the seventh best kicker in Division Kelly carried a 40.3 yard per punt average. A more detailed and updated Spring football guide will be printed and distributed by this Sports Information Office later this week. ar I j' V1 , ; v OGDEN-P- ete Riehlman, head football coach at Weber State College, has been appointed to serve on the Selection Committee to select the Team.

Now Money earned is spent wisely All revenue collected horn the sale of hunting and fishing m :. s is spent on projects and services that benefit wildlife. The revenue remains in the wildlife account and is not diverted to other state government, according to Mike Earl, budget and accounting officer for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. During the 1979 fiscal year, 67 percent of the total revenue collected by me from the the Division came from license sales. Fourteen pei state General Fund, 14 percent from the Federal Government and four percent was from miscellaneous sources. Of the total $9.6 million collected, 100 percent of the money went back into managing Utahs wildlife resources. The Division of Wildlife Resources does pay for services rendered to them by the Office of Personnel Management, Department of Finance and other state departments, but the total expenditure for these scr.ces are less than one percent of the total revenue received, stated Mr. Era i a t A new hunting and fishing license fee schedule ben April 2, 1980. Many hunters and fishermen in Utah know their license dollars are spent to benefit wildlife.
