Show Page 6B, Lakeside Reiiew, October 30, 1980 Lancers Handle Sky View : Layton Loses In Tournament Contest SALT LAKE CITY By BOB BULLOCK Review Correspondent LOGAN It was a cold autumn afternoon under an overcast sky as the Layton Lancers travelled to Logan to face the Skyview Bobcats in their last scheduled game of regular season play. Layton with a 2 conference record against a strong Region 1 schedule came into the game heavily favored but a strong performance by the Bobcats gave the Lancers enough problems to cause wonder as to how the Layton team will fair in post season tournament play. Skyviews a good football team, commented Layton coach Gary Hansen as he evaluated their underrated Bobcat foes. We started out tough against them and just let up. We started to drop back instead of blocking and tackling. According to Hansen it was this inability of the Layton team to stress the baslcs that led to his teams problems throughout the season. That seemed to be the biggest problem weve had all year, he continued, playing fundamental football; blocking and tackling. In addition to the inability to stress the basics though, Hansen also pointed to inconsistency as being a major source of the Lancers difficulties. Were tough and then weak. Were just not consistent, Hansen stressed. Despite these difficulties however, the Layton coachlooks optimistically to the future. The potentials there if we can just get at it, he remarked encouragingly. And potential will have to serve strongly to make up for the relative inexperience of the youthful Layton team. For many coaches this inexperience might serve as a handicap but not for Hansen, who stated, we do have a lot of new kids playing this year that didnt play last year but theyre ' coming along well. Based on their overtime victory over the Clearfield Falcons earlier in the season, the Layton Lancers assumed third place in Region 1, pitting them against defending state champions, Skyline, in the first round of the State 4A playoffs. What is Hansens strategy for Skyline and other tournament opsaid Hansen ponents? To win, simply. And if this basic game plan holds true, the Layton Lancers may be a force to be reckoned with, throughout the playoffs and in seasons to come. 21-2- 22-2- 1. 3-- The .Weber County District also uses the pay to play method to subsidise athletic programs in its schools. Roy High charges $23 to play football and $20 for basketball. At first we had decided to cut out our reserve and junior varsity teams to cut down on costs, said Roy High Athletic Director Ted Smith. But some of the parents said theyd rather pay the fee to see their kids play so we went with that, Both Smith and Carter admit inflation is the worst enemy of their respective athletic budgets for the coming years. In the past five years, equipment replacement costs, payment of officials and transportation have caused both budgets to inflate at abnout $1,000 . two-poi- nt 22-2- 14-- 0 per year. Our budget is about $20,000 this year thats $5,000 more than' in 1976, said Smith. We used to be self supporting with our gate money and student activity fees. But now that costs are so high along with changes in the system like Title Nine, we need the district to help us out. Our largest expense each year is paying the officials and that amounts to about one quarter of our budget.

Swans Flock to Utah Wa'terfowl hunters out this past week have been finding some of the best shooting of the season. Some additional good news is that whistling swan are showing up on Utahs marshes.

But rather than cut the smaller programs when money gets tight, we simply increase the fee for students to play them. Both coaches and administrators agree the athletic programs on the high school level are an important part of the total learning process and if cut would result in a lesser education. No principal in his right mind would say student morale wouldnt change for the worse if sports were cut, said Gary Hansen, Layton High football coach. A lot of kids are able to perform better in the classroom because of the training and discipline they get in athletics. We just have to be flexible and accept the changes the best we can. victory over Sky View last Wed nesday. BRUCE G. PARRY ports Fate With Voters From Poge 4B conversion.

Day and we try to find a receiver in the costs about $200 for one varsity football game, he stated. Equipment costs have gone up over 200 percent in the past five years, said Cook. Especially the plastics made from oil products. Leather has gone way up top. A standard leather football costs $35 today and one football helmet runs close to $60. That makes it rough when you have to replace 70 or 80 of them at one time. To help cut costs, Davis County coaches have been certified as bus drivers and can legally drive the bus on a road trip. This saves the six dollars per hour they normally pay a professional driver. Also, the Layton High athletic program has invested in video tape replay equipment to cut down on the cost of filming football and basketball games. Provided proposition A and B are defeated, most school officials feel the future of prep athletic programs is not that grim and that community action will eventually pick up the slack when funds are needed. Our students have sold everything from lightbulbs to candy to candles when we needed extra money for the program and I think the local public is getting pretty tired of it, said Cook in opposition. The best way the public can help us is by coming to the games. Money is really tight right now and more cuts are coming. Changes in regions to localize travel would help right I now. dont think the situation will get any better right now, but I dont see it getting much worse either, said Smith. Davis School Board Precincts and ft It used to cost us about $80 to film a game with super eight film equipment, said Cook. To get set up now, all we have to do is buy an $18 tape of which we can film four games on. The only problem is that some schools arent equipped to show video tape and that makes it hard to switch films with them.
