Quite coincidentally, these two Clearfield residents are brothers, Kenny and Terry Gardner. Both starred at Clearfield High in their teens. Kenny helped the school to their only state basketball title ever and Terry was a member of a consolation crowned team. The two spent some time at the University of Utah in one era or the other. As Kenny was being the final player cut by the Phoenix Suns of the NBA, Jack McGregor from New York City was looking for young American players to fill spots on a touring USA team thatwould visit Europe. While playing in several European countries, Kenny came in contact with a small country team in France, Berck. He played before top officials of the foreign team and they liked what they saw . Big Kenny, looking toward the future, signed with the France national league team and continued the tour with his fellow Americans. He spent two years in the town and brought widespread fame to the people. Berck was crowned the national champs two years straight with Kenny figureing as the more or less Most Valuable Player. He later played for another small France team, Nice, and nearly accomplished everything he had in the town before. Terry, after some sort of a dispute with management and coaches at the U of U was encouraged by his older brother, Kenny, to come to the Land of Enchantment and try to make it big. 1 he two basketball talented brothers say that losing in France and all of Europe for that matter, is like turning bums. "For the into Americans it not quite as bad as what some Europeans a have to go through. I guess we are just liked more and are treated with a little more politeness, says Terry. And then the point always arises, Are the Europeans becoming more interested in sports than Americans?" Well, the Gardners think not as Terry expressed, Sport in Europe usually is associated with one game: soccer. And when the season is over, in the early summer, there is a mass and scramble before another season begins. Bicycle racing and boxing, and sometimes golf and tennis, take up the main spotlight for the interval. But the appeal and zest found among excitement hungry soccer fans is not there. In the United States the and complicated enthusiasm never comes .Hft jx i FUTUREI) HERE is the Utah ASA Womens State Champion softball tram.

Between to a the professional seasons, college and individuals sports, how could it? Oh, and when you lose, you'd better take cover in most parts of Europe. The people overseas are hungry for winners. One year the Italian World Cup Soccer Team was eliminated early in play. As team members left the train, they were bombarded with tomatoes. This on goes experience throughout any season. Kenny says, "Despite the variations in dress, food, travel, among people in Europe, everyone likes less than what he would make with the Stars. For Terry, he'll sit it out a year because of a new ruling $25,000 that officials have imposed. states that small can only be teams league one by represented American. But as he put it, "It will always be there and Im grateful that the Frenchmen gave me a chance to play. I like the leisure and solitude feeling." He, along with Kenny, commented the French love to eat and the food is unsurpassed. The rule The two also say that when you come talk politics, the French can't stand Americans, so whats new! And as for the judging of sports enthusiasm compared of Americans and Europeans, itll have to be left up to you to decide. It seemed at one time that if the people overseas football, were playing basketball or baseball, then it couldnt really be too much to talk about. But with television, radio, jet airlines, and atomic power, most of that is being changed. thing is sure, the people overseas will always for be remembered numerous old time, One competing tour- naments, such as the Wimbledon tennis matches, famous road races, the hates and winner, British losers. open golf tourney, But throughout the Gard- several Olympic sites, and ners stay overseas, they many more.

Weber county baseball playoffs draw to close the Weber County Junior Baseball playoffs As were drawing to a close and only the superior teams still remaining in competition, Roy's Junior B city champs, the Roy As, were catching memories of the past two years in the playoffs. The team was composed of boys who nad been playing together for several years and were hungry for their first County Championship. One year the squad finished fourth and last year it was a second place finish. So all they had to do was polish the team that had been battling them all season long for the city crown and they would be proud county victors. The As were confronted with the Roy Lions at the championship pause. The latter team had a Big record compared to the champs slightly better 13 2 mark. Ted Rich and Stewart Murdock coached the As all along and vs ill never forget the games and the final tournament At times the A's would drown opponents by whopping margins, 231 and 12 3 15 4 in two cases The red hot Lions burst open for two runs in the early going of the contest. The A's Mont Adams scored his teams only run as the op 1 ponents went on for a 11 smear and the county trophy. Troy Burns ripped out a grand slam for the victors. The A's in their sharp yellow, green and white uniforms had blown their chance again and it was the nt talent woth a steady desn-wi- the city title. Bert P and Cort Murdock rotated the mound throughout season. And the infi probably the strongest tribute ot the team, composed of Greg Bos' Jeff Gorder, Toby Phill Rich and Murdock.

A few weeks ago, the Big League All Stars returned from Las Vegas where they fared so so in a trial campaign The team clobbered Cedar City in the opening round of action behind the strikeout pitching of Curt Christensen. He fanned 13 in the fairy tale affair. But Cedar City, less to be forgotten, ruffled up their sleeves a little more and laid two losses across the Clearfield team and thus sent them sprawling from the tournament. |
