Jordans last play of the last game. When even youre excited when the seayou go 0-- 9, For awhile two weeks ago, when Davis High had the lead and the ball with six minutes to go in the state championship football game with Weber, I knew how good it felt to be able to cover a team all the way to a title. Its a feeling we all shared here last fall when B YU won their national championship. Of course, as things turned out, the Darts didn't win the title. But the 1985 football season still provided lots of thrills for all of us who follow prep sports. FROM THE end of August to the end of November, here are the highlights and for me this football season: low-ligh- ts s BEST FIELD GOAL Matt Bombard, who hit a against Weber that could have gone 70 yards. unWORST FIELD GOAL EFFORT-A- n identified (for good reason) kicker in Salt Lake who's effort from 50 yards hit the center in the rear.

Sports understanding chances offers worldwide travel Program Over 250 American teenagers spent a month overseas last summer on an unusual exchange program. Some were taken by their hosts to tie their fortunes on a wishing tree in Japan; some walked through the breathtaking ruins of Rome after participating in a basketball meet; some took a breather from a hectic diving schedule in England for an exciting day in France; and others tasted a delicious smorgasbord at a reception in Stockholm. ALL TRAVELED to Europe, Australia, Japan or Latin America under the auspices of internaSport of Understanding, a tional sports exchange program, living with host families and training in their favorite sport. r old sports program is an The offshoot of the older, established Youth for Understanding, reflecting the national fascination with sports and a growing awareness of the tour, available outside world. The month-lonin over 20 sports, affords teenagers a chance to satisfy their curiosity, through the familiar medium of a favorite sport. Unlike the strictly non-prof- four-yea- g competitive tours available to the athletic elite, SFU is geared to the average or better athlete; sport is the vehicle, a building block to international understanding and cultural awareness. WE TRY to split the time overseas three ways, says Executive Director Richard S. Willard, with a third spent in sport practices and competition, a third spent sightseeing, soaking in the countrys culture, and a third with the host family. We want our participants to have a chance to live their host country's lifestyle, not just see it as a tourist might. game, it doesn't seem to matter what language don't! you speak--o- r WILLARD, LONG involved in student exchanges and with extensive personal experience in living abroad, has been overwhelmed by the reaction to this new version of the traditional exchange. The enthusiasm generated by the combination of sport, culture and host family living is unbelievable," he explains; It simply cannot be compared to that of straight sports tours or even conventional educational programs. it The cultural experience is just as important to SFU as the chance to train and compete with foreign teams. If you want five competitions in three days, explains Chip Zimmer, SFUs Associate Director, our program is not for you. This doesn't mean that the sport component is unimportant, however. Obviously its a major part of the trip! Participants on the hours a day. program train or compete Sport is the universal ice breaker," avers Willard, it puts everyone at ease. After a good 2-- 4 The obvious satisfaction with our coaches is very gratifying, says Willard, "The coach selection is vital to a program's success. It's a very demanding job, requiring a lot more than just technique! Coaches must attend a three-da- y workshop before taking a team abroad, where the emphasis is on group dynamics, cultural adjustment and SFU's philosophical goals. Former SFU coaches help lead many of the woikshop sessions, drawing on their own experience. APPLICATIONS are now being accepted for 1986, when 51 teams in 18 sports will leave the United States for an exciting month overseas. New' country offerings include Denmark, France. Israel, Spain and Yugoslavia.
