Show 6 Forget 0-1- 6; They're Those Cougars finally did it. They finally went out and won a game. But at Kearns high as head career. coach, he was A two career that had spanned a brief years. Brief if youre someone else and didn't have to suffer through them. A career that saw his team take some pretty good teams into overtime last year before losing. If there was a creative way to blow it, the Cougars found it. You could talk about moral victories if you wanted to, but Larson would not buy it. We need a victory. A real victory, he would say. Week after week. It finally came Thursday. And it felt oh so good. You only had to be on the Cougar Was Be-Good-To-Et- And he took a few moments to reflect on how good he felt for the players. Despite that record, Tom Larson had few detractors in his community. Or among his peers. Most people knew he and his dedicated staff (as had Bruce Takeno before Larson) worked as hard as any coaches around. Maybe even a little harder. For darn few rewards. But perhaps only those close to the Kearns program know that Tom Larson is the same kind of influence on young men as is that man who coaches those Cougars down south who have won so many games. He runs a positive program. One designed to build a young mans selfesteem. Larsons a quiet sort Hes but he coaches. 0-- -- . Now 0 But he cant help but feel that he now has a fighting chance. So big deal, youre probably saying. Theyve won 25 in a row. Ho hum. Itll be news when they lose one. Not those Cougars. Were talking about the breed of cat that resides out on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley. In Kearns. While LaVell Edwards is the antithesis of the nice guys finish last syndrome, Tom Larson may be the perfect embodiment of that adage. Larson was on the Kearns sideline when wins werent all that hard to come by - in fact he knew the joy of winning it all while wearing the green and gold back in 1972 when Gifford Nielsen could do nothing against a fired-u- p Cougar squad in the state finals on the BVU turf. Larson was an assistant to Frank Klekas. ' Later on he was a highly-value- d assistant coach at Granger as the Lancers turned in some pretty good seasons. 1-- sideline for a few moments to apto the young men who have toiled in the shadow of that losing streak. They were playing West Jordan, the team that put that 16 in the loss column. The last team to lose to a Kearns squad. preciate what it meant And as usual, the Cougars were favored. To lose. As time ran out, senior Robert Smith commented to a teammate, The Tribune picked us to lose. It probably wont hit us until tomorrow that we didnt. Smiths body was bruised, but his eyes were shining. I couldnt tell him that I thought West Jordan was going to make it three in a row. As is his style, it was the kids that Larson was thinking about as he basked in the glory of the win. He was already thinking ahead to tomorrow when he takes his team to Cottonwood. He knows the Colts could deflate the balloon in a hurry. soft-spoke- n, His frustrations were rarely, if ever, directed at a player in an offensive, vocal manner. He teaches fundamentals. And while victory was as much a burning desire for Larson as for any other coach, if a player failed to meet his standards of conduct, teamwork and school responsibility, he was gone. Scratched from the line-uThursdays win does not a season make. Kearns still faces an uphill battle. The ranks are thin. Injuries could be devastating. The team is young. The schedule is tough. The Cougars may not win as many times as they lose this year. West Jordans program is a struggling one too. But for Kearns, the step in the right direction has been taken. And you cant take Thursday away from those kids. Or from Tom Larson and his staff. p. Week hel of water and one pint of fruit juice one day and the next day one pint of vegetable juice.

Tuesdays vote was simply a delay, not a defeat. That was a comment made here yesterday (Wednesday) as proponents of an effort to incorporate Holladay assessed the results of the previous days ballotting. Bucking the tradition of special elections, more than half the eligible voters here turned out Tuesday and rejected a proposal that would have created Salt Lake Countys 13th city. Incorporation was soundly defeated - 57 percent to 43 percent in a day of heavier voting than would be anticipated for a special election. Of the areas 8,848 registered voters, 4,634 of them turned out, a hefty 52.4 percent. The unofficial vote total was 2,604 1,964 opposed to incorporation; favoring the issue. On the ballots secondary issue, selecting from among three forms of government, the council-managform won handily, favored by 58 percent of the voters. About 27 percent showed a preference for the council-mayo- r form, while only 14 percent favored the city commission form. When compared with our starting point, 1,964 residents voting for incorporation in the Holladay-Cottonwoo- d area is a substantial victory, Vibert Kesler stated following the election.
