Show Sun Chronicle, July 29, 1 976, Page 0 1 SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS Hail Achieves Quality Mark s Olympics Special - The best of many interesting match-upin Olympic swimming competition was the striving battle of the sexes. Who would win the most gold medals: Americas men or the East Germany women? Before the first gold medal had gone out, though, swimming had a winner. Gary Hall was a hero to most of the youngsters on the current U.S. Olympic swim team in the olds. And Gary was the days when they were 10 or athlete picked from Americas hundreds to carry the U.S. flag in the Montreal Games opening ceremonies. It was the first time a swimmer got the honor. Captains of all the U.S. teams met to pick the flagbearer. Hall, who will turn 25 a week after these Games, was the selection. 1 think the other captains were conscious of the impact our swimming has had on the Olympics, Hall said. In 1972 at Munich, the U.S. won 33 gold medals, and 19 of them came in swimming and diving. Hall dropped out for two quarters of medical school (University of Cincinnati) to make his successful comeback bid and win a spot on the 1976 team. He won a silver medal in the individual medley as a high school senior in 1968 at Mexico City, then won another silver in butterfly in the 72 Games. By qualifying in the butterfly for this yeras Olympics, he became the second swimmer in U.S. history to and the first in more than 50 years. The go to three Games late Duke Kahonomoku did it in the freestyle at the 1912, 1920 and 1924 Games. Almost the first thing I thought of when I qualified for the team this time was, Hey, maybe theres a wild chance now I could carry the flag, Hall said. Things are really going my way. I feel it's the greatest honor an American athlete in the Olympics can receive, because you represent the entire body of American athletes. Hall was a sound pick. A Phi Beta Kappa as an honors physical education major at Indiana, he had a swimming career that in some ways topped the one compiled by his three-yea- r teammate at Indiana, Mark Spitz. From 1968 through 1972, they were swimmings two biggest names. In that period, Spitz won national championships in 18 AAU or NCAA events. Hall won 25. But in contrast to the seven gold medals Spitz won at and he left Munich frustrated Munich, Hall never won any after missing out in the two individual medley events that he had dominated for 3'2 years. I look back I lost a lot of sleep over that meet, he said. on it now as a valuable experience. I just wanted to win too bad, I had a fear of losing and I panicked. But I made up my mind that I would never go through another day like that as long as I live. And I havent. Im enjoying the Games this time, whatever happens. Meanwhile, John Naber, who said he would rather improve his time and lose than win a gold medal with a sub-pa- r time, went out on the first day of Olympic competition and set the meets first world record backstroke). Other top U.S. swimmers are John Hencken, Jim Montgomery, Brian Goodell and Bruce Furniss, world all. When Naber and butterflyer Mike Bruner opened the performances that erased the Olympics with world-recornames of East Germans Roland Matthes and Roger Pyttel from the books, they gave U.S. men an unprecedented monopoly on world marks. Only one was outside the individual medley, the American family then held by Hungarian Zoltan Verraszio. Naber ended the longest reign in modern swimming. He took the 100 backstroke record away from East German Roland Matthes, who had held it for eight years, nine months and 28 days. How long is that, in swimming terms? Naber, probably the sports top star right now, hadnt even begun swimming when Matthes, then 17, set the record.

A traveling squad of 44 men will leave the Salt Lake Airport, Saturday, Aug. 7 at 9:15 a.m. and play against a group of Law Men from the Lakewood area that night at 7:30 p.m. It all began in 1972 when a group of policemen banded together to accept a challenge from Salt Lake Citys law men to play football. They chose a name given them by the lawless hippy movement of the 1960s, but with a different meaning to PIG. To them the word stands for Pride - Integrity - Guts. The Pig Bowl is a name used by law ' , IPDG Bowl v 9-- 8, 6. 28-- 6. ' ROYS KVIN HALL, who wil play I the center position, calls offensive huddle. Coach Dick Gwinn gives instructions. 22-1- Pig Bowl with a 1 record. Coaches for the team are Dick Gwinn and his staff of footballers of Weber State College. These coaches donate their time and talented in fostering this worthwhile program. Weber State furnished facilities and equipment at no cost to the team. Proceeds of the contest go to youth programs in both Lakewood and Ogden to help promote baseball, football and other sports for 3-- boys. n The teams boasts Weber State Alumni footballers, on their roster. The rest of the men were stars in high school, but went no further with their football prowess. These men are in their twenties, but some are older. They work hard to get into shape for this one game every year. And they hit hard. Already in practice they have lost four men to the injury list. Lets meet our men from the Roy half-a-doze- 400-met- age-grou- p area who are on the PIG squad. Runback Wayne Carpenter is a sargent in the Patrol Division of Roy City and is a five year veteran at Rcy. He also has two years experience with Ogden City. Wayne and Joan have four children. (Heres a sad note, just tonight Wayne tore a ligament in practice scrimmage and wont be participating in the 1976 Pig Bowl.) Ron Haas is a Corporal in the Patrol Division of Ogden City Police Department. He has six and a half years. Ron is the only bachelor of the Roy bunch. Barry and Elaine Christensen live with their three children in North Roy. He has five years with Ogden City and is a Narcotics Detective. Pat McGuire tips the scales at 240 and plays defensive tackle. He has served Ogden City for five years, and spent two years with the Armys CID. Pat and his wife Peggy have two children. ning Jon and Joanne Griener were married just six months ago.

He is a detective in the Narcotics Division. Merv and Rae Lynne have two children. Kim Hall works for the Utah Highway Patrol, and has six years of service. Prior to that he was with the Davis County Sheriffs Department for one Announces Slate year. Kim and Beverly have four children. These men should be commended for their contribution to the Ogden Pig Skin Team. They practice on their own time, and arrange their schedules to be able to play that all important game in the PIG Bowl each year. Its fun for them, but isa n awful lot of work too. Why do they do it? I guess its because they have Pride - Integrity and Guts. Thats why they call themselves PIGS. Four Outdoor Categories There are four categories of outdoors men: deer hunters, duck hunters, bird hunters and nonhunters. These categories have nothing to do with sex or age, or accoutrements; they represent four diverse habits of the human eye. The deer hunter habitually watches the next bend; the duck hunter watches the skyline; the bird hunter watches the dog; the nonhunter does not watch.
