We beat Roy twice, last year, he said, but we have only one letterman, returning one starter from last years squad. The Coach was referring to his 65 super-staKelly Johnson, who has been doing most of the scoring this year at Weber High. The rest of the team is basically made up of inexperience and to Warrior basketball. Ted Smith of Roy was well aware of Johnson, and his basketball prowess. Hell get his points, said Smith, but weve got to score more. We could go into a zone to stop Johnson, he continued, but Weber . has some guards that can burn you. Well try to hold Johnson under twenty-fiv- e points, and play it from there. The Royals played tenacious defense and held Johnson to just 15 points. Thomas and Hadley did a job on We said Coach Smith. Johnson, and hurt inside their game, stopped them on the press. We caused them to make mistakes, and disrupted their offensive patterns. Rob Thomas led both teams in scoring with 20 points, and in rebounding with 13. He also blocked three Weber shots. Steve Scholtec ripped in 16 points and pulled down six boards. Robert Kirkwood added 13 to the Royal coffers. As a team, Roy had 24 field goals and converted 13 of 21 from the the foul line. They Warriors 32 to 24, and had 11 turnovers to 14 for Weber. Kelly Johnson shared scoring honors with Wade Beus for the Warriors with 15 points each, and Monk had ten. Weber chucked in 19 field goals and hit r, new-come- With OT Win 8 of 17 from the stripe. At halftime, Weber was down by only By PHIL KIRKWOOD Sports Editor It was bound to happen sooner or later Layton winning a basketball game, that is. After all, when a team only wins one game in 12 tries, the law of averages has got to be in their favor. But when your first region win comes against the league leading team, maybe its not averages, or, luck, or anything supernatural. Maybe its talent. LAYTON eight, and had Roys three big men in foul trouble. Bart Hadley was tagged with three quick fouls in the first quarter, and stayed on the bench for most of the first half, and Scholtec and Thomas each had two infractions. We talked of nothing but how we were going to go inside in the second half, moaned Coach Connely, but we didnt do it. Be aggressive on defense, cautioned Roys coach Smith at halftime, but dont foul. The Royals were able to finish the game with all their starters, and they still the Warriors 3 in the final sixteen minutes. Weber was a little flat, conceded Coach Smith, but I would like to believe that our defense had something to do with it. We tried to front Johnson on every play, and I guess it worked. Bonneville Next In what Ted Smith terms the biggest game of the year, Roy goes on the road to Bonneville, Friday. Bonneville was picked as the team to beat in the n poll, but lost to Clearfield and struggled to get past Layton. Laker star, Cory Sylvestor has been on the injury list and is just now getting back He was out of action in the to Bonneville Classic, when Roy beat the Lakers but that might give them added incentive for Fridays I hope Sylvestor is healthy, said Ted Smith. If we beat them, I want to do it when they are at their best. The coach did not think that his earlier win over the Lakers would make a lot of difference. They might be up for this game, he conceded, but so will we. Sophomores and J.V. Teams Are Undefeated ' The Sophomores and Jayvees of Roy are keeping pace with their Dig brothers in league play. Each team is undefeated in three games in Region One. Coach Fred Thompson has the sophomores, and Van Hadley has the junior varsity. out-scor- Maybe the team which has been the states doormat for all these weeks is finally making its move making a move towards a state play-of- f berth. Maybe? . . . Look Out Utah, here come the Lancers! And the folks from Clearfield will be the first to admit it especially after watching the Lancers beat 5 in a double overtime thriller last the Falcons Friday night at Layton gym. With the win, the Lancers bettered their Region-- 1 record to 2 and actually moved out of the cellar as Weber fell to Clearfield dropped to 1 and stands tied for second with Bonneville. , Playing As a Team Were starting to play better as a team, explained Coach Doug Moon after the first league win. Its obvious we dont have much of an inside game and its taken us a while to develop a patient play making offense. I think weve learned what we can and cant do and thats made the difference. Moon also says that the win has given his team confidence and he expects them to get better before the season is over. Were shooting very well right now and this win really gave us a big lift, said Moon. Our region record could easily be 1 or even Weve had the tough part of our schedule at the beginning and I think we played it very well. Against Clearfield, Moon was particularly pleased with the way the Lancers came from behind in both the regular and overtime periods. "They had us down late in the game, but our guys, didnt give up, said Moon. Our defense in those last minutes was super. We put full court pressure on them and that allowed us to run off about ten straight, points and get back in the game. Leading the scoring for Layton were Jeff Pearce with 22, Layne Sackett with 12 and Brian Cunningham added 11. For Clearfield, guard Fred Cook posted a game high 23 points while Troy Nye added 19 and Dewey Pratt had 16. The Lancers next game will be against Weber on Friday while Clearfield hosts Skyview the same night. Skyview at figures to be a breather for the Falcons, and although Weber has the same record, Moon says it will be a tough game. 4-- A . 76-7- 30-2- 2-- 0-- 3. . pre-seaso- full-stea- 2-- h.

With this new winter activity came a remarkable growth in snowmobile clubs, groups of avid snowmobilers who banded together to ride trails, trade advice, and throw parties. According to the International Snowmobile Industry Association, there are now 10,000 snowmobile clubs in the U.S. and Canada. Snowmobiiing is a group sport, says Edgar .

Hetteen, who has worked closely with clubs since they began, credits these organizations with constructing and maintaining thousands of miles of snowmobile trail and with successfully applying political pressure to open public parks and forests to snowmobiles. Gubs enhance the social aspect of snowmobiiing. Most clubs organize parties, cookouts, weekend outinp to nearby snowmobile areas, and sometimes even summer activities. Most clubs belong to a state association, which usually publishes a newsletter that goes to all club members. For the beginning snowmobiler, the club is an invaluable source of advice about where to snowmobile, what sort of equipment to buy, and how to maintain the machine. A club membership often saves a snowmobiler money, too. Clubs usually manage to get discounts at motels when they go on weekend trips; some clubs get discounts from snowmobile dealers. Snowmobile clubs are also active in the political battle to keep public lands open to the snowmobiler. Snowmobile organizations have in participated government hearings, initiated legislation, and mounted mailing campaigns to governors, congressmen, and even the President. If it werent for the snowmobile clubs, the sport would never have become so accessible, says Arctics Hetteen.
