One more Falcon came in the third. 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.

Clearfield and Bonneville appear to be regarded as the teams to beat this spring, but Clearfield overshadowed their favored neighbors by blasting the Lakers 15-- 3 in the first region game for both clubs.

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 said Coach mistakes that lead to so many turnovers last season, 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. four-yeOffensively, the only loss was running back Eric Hill, who was a letterman. 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 two defensive fine has graduated along with 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 BOB WALKER of Pocatello, Idaho, speeds downhill in American Pro age 24, his competitors, call him "Bad Bob.
