Three days later, with a big cast on his left arm from the fingers to the elbow, he stroked a pitch during a fast pitch game in the Fast Pitch state tournament for a home run. That home run will never be forgotten. We and confidence," admitted Coach 2 Ted Smith, following the drubbing, last week by Highland Our kids are playing High. hard, he continued, but we just havent put it all together yet." Highland blew into town, and in the second quarter, blew the Royals out of their own gym. The Rams feature Coach Larry Maxwells two sons, who spark the quick Highland team, and make the opposition look bad. Sophomore Robert Maxwell was leading scorer on the floor with 20 points and his brother, Brent, who is a senior, tallied il. The Rams got 21 field goals and 23 of 29 from the line for 65 counters. Roys leading scorer was also from the sophomore ranks. 68 Robb Thomas hit seven field goals and three for four from the stripe for 17 points. He was the only Royal to score in double figures. The Rams were too quick for 65-5- Daren Green, CLEARFIELb CRAIG HANSEN POLICE CHIEF Bike hikes are considered sporting events and Ill never forget the way Troop 384 conducted themselves one year on a bike hike to Antelope Island. (The police department, sponsors Troop 384). The following is a letter that the principal of Bountiful Junior High later wrote to me about that trip. Chief of Police Clearfield City Clearfield, Utah 84015 Dear Sir: Friday, as my wife and I drove toward Antelope. Island, we passed a group of Boy Scouts on their bikes just starting across the causeway. We commented that we probably would have a very noisy weekend. We parked in the campground, settled the trailer down and sure enough - here came the boys and moved in right across the street from us. We groaned a little, but hated to go to the trouble of moving the trailer so decided to brave the boys. It turned out to be a group of boys sponsored by the Clearfield Police Department, and we spent one of the most enjoyable weekend we have spent on the Island. The boys were quiet; went to bed and stayed there bv 10 and we never heard them in the mornings. They were kept busy working on scouting items and did not wander the camp but very little. They hiked but carried litter bags and returned to camp with their bags full. When we left Sunday morning, they were working hard cleaning up their camp. Saturday evening they came into our camp and invited us to their camp fire program where two new scouts were initiated into the scouting program in a very impressive program. The patrols performed skits which were well dope. We spent a very wonderful evening with these boys. It shows evidence of very devoted; interested and concerned adults. We are not certain who these men are of if they are members of the police force, but they need to be complimented on handling a fine scouting program. Your group should also be complimented on supporting a fine effort such as we saw. We are certain this is advantageous to the welfare of Clearfield City. Please convey our thanks to those five men who were there. . DAREN GREEN LLOYD FULLER mono-filamen- Native at that. one-and-o- The Roy Highland, J.V. team also lost to 76-7- 1.

Interested youth in Clearfield who plan to play in the city basketball program should take notice of the Recreation Departments efforts to formulate a new program for the winter of 1980. The program will include leagues for boys grades 3 and 4 !$5.50), grades 5 and 6 ($5.50) and 9 to 12 ($6.50); and basketball skills clinics for boys grades 1 and 2 ($3.50) and girls 1 and 3 ($3.50). All will be assessed $1 extra per league or clinic. Practices, clinics and games will be held Saturdays at both Clearfield High gymnasiums starting Jan. 5 and running each week thereafter through March. Registration will be conducted throughout Dec. at the Recreation Office located at the Clearfield Swimming Pool Building, Monday for through Saturday, 8 to 9 a.m. Call Roger Thomas at further information. Lloyd Fuller Every fisherman will always have that unique experience to tell that sets him apart from his peers. This is one of those stories. Picture if you will, tall stately pines in the California Forests, a deep valley that has cut its way through the heart of this forest. At the bottom of this valley the North of the American River meets its tributary the Middle Fork. White foamy water, riffles, and swirling pools, a mysterious combination of good fishing, that always haunts, invading dreams and the daily work vigil. Such was my case, and being only one hour from home invariably you would see me at the bottom of that canyon almost every Saturday trying to hook the elusive big one. It was not uncommon to catch your limit of 8 12" fish and it sure made excellent fare. Throwing out my line into the clear smooth but fast moving water, the line snapping off rhythmically off the Mitchell Reel as it carried itself further out and down, the little red salmon eggs bobbing along carefree for the ride. It was during one of these casts that I managed to snarl my line on the reel, and had to let more out to see if I could unravel it. The line made its way down the small rift between the rocks and came to rest in a large pool of white water that sprayed the air with mist that was cool and inviting. After feeding more line out, trying desperately to unravel the kinks and loops, which are a fisherman's nightmare, I noticed the slack line being taken up, moving through the water intheopposite direction and WHAM, it hit. I could hardly believe it as the monster dived one way and then the other trying in intrusion of his native world. It vain to escape this wasnt long as I pulled back and reeled in being so careful not to t break die No. 8 test line, that I realized that my dreams were going to become a reality. As I landed my prize, my elation was complete, an eighteen inch Rainbow Trout, a California Roy, and that explains most of their 29 trips to the foul line. They caused a rash of Roy turnovers, and the Royals had a hard time making the ball stay in the hoop. Rylan Wedemeier collected CiezrficJd youth should sfgn-u- p Warm regards, Lewis W.
