Wasatch Mountain State Park may be the leading site for a cross-country skiing/biathlon course, based on its superior terrain for competition and minimal envi- ronmental consequences But it is not a lock. ‘That's becauseits top challenger, SherwoodHills resort between Brigham City and Logan, has one key elementlacking at the state park near Midway rooms. — hotel The Salt Lake Organizing Committee (SLOC) could face considerable pressure to provide a second village for crosscountry skiers andbiathletes, who like to stay close to their venueso they can hop out of bed in the morning and immediately check snow conditions.

The amendmentreflected the interest that FIS President Mare Hodler, who is overseeing SLOC’s preparations for the 10C, has in promoting a plan beneficial to athletes. “He is interested in flexibility and asked Salt Lake to think about[the second village] a bit,” said IOCVice Presi- dent Anita DeFrantz, a member of SLOC's executive board. “It might be good to do some test runs this winter in various weather conditions to see how long it takes to get up to Wa- satch [from the | |, added Jim Easton, a second IOC member whosits on SLOC’s board, "MIKEGOORRELL SLOCstaff members are well awareof this issue.

NAOC Director General Makoto Kobayashi came away convinced that the IOC will accept So, ofall the unbeatens, which are contenders and pretenders? Skyline football coach Roger DuPaix’s drove to Cedar City on Saturday afternoon to watch his son Joey play quarterback for Southern Utah University. The trip was made morepleasant by the play of another quarterback Friday night Just when it appearedthe Eagies could be in trou- ble, Stillman Clark stepped up andled themtoa 29- 22 win over Mountain View. Clark and two other quarterbacks struggled mightily in Skyline's season. opening 29-7 loss to Highland “We knew hecould doit,” said DuPaix. “Mainly, wetried togive Stillman the confidence that he was the guy, and he did real fine.” The Eagles had just one bad QB-center exchange — they had seven against Highland — and Clark botched just one option play, acceptable in Skyline’s wishbone attack. “Last night was a gut-check game for the whole team and for Stillman,” said DuPaix, whose team opens Region 1 playFridayat Clearfield. Clark ran for 115 yards, two touchdowns and a two-point conversion and Skyline had 3 the ground. While mostof the state was stunned aboutthe twotime defending champion Eagles’ poor openinggame performance, their coaches went to work. They made several personnelchanges, mainly allowing more players to go both ways. Linemen Ross Varner and Andy Selcho, all-staters Josh and Jeremy Lyman and receiver/defensive back Chris Thompson played offense and defense against the Bruins “When the playoffs come, let's see who plays football,” said DuPaix, using uncharacteristically strong words to shrug off suggestions that the Eagles were simply overmatched against Highland. Oo ALSO FRIDAY After two weeks, the list of unbeatensis already downto 27 teams. In 5-A, Brighton and Taylorsville are legitimate threats to go undefeated. The Bengals and Warriors have displayed crucial ingredients — solid quarterbacking, a powerful running attack and strong defense — although Taylorsville has been riddled by injuries. In the “Jury-is-out” category, place Alta and Hillcrest. The Hawks have pounded a pair of subpar teams, Kearns and Viewmont, while Hillcrest owns close wins over teamsusually nearthe top, Davis and Clearfield: Also unbeaten in 5-A are West Jordan and Northridge(winless in 1996). Howlong will that last? There's little doubt in 4-A that Highland, East and Box Elder are for real. The Rams and Leopards won't meet until the final week of the regular season, but both should be unbeaten. Box Elder once again has one of the state’s highest-scoring offenses and top quarterbacks, Brian Cusick. Box Elder’s Region 4 mates Logan, Mountain Crest and Weber are also 2-0. Of those, Weber appearsto be the best bet, based on its 35-0 thumping of 5-A’s Layton on Friday. Olympus is also 2-0 and shaping up to be 4-A’s surprise team. The Titans easily beat Woods Cross and a Cyprus team that upset Granger Friday. The real test is two weeks away, when Olytravels to East. ia) SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT guages. o QO NAGANO(152 Days. ) Strong Quarterback Play Helps Skyline Rebound as Expected ranged for a late-night train to transport spectators to Tokyo after evening events, lessening the demand for Nagano’slimited supply of Western-style hotel rooms.
