Show THE DIXIE SUN SIX September 22, 1959 Rebels Drop Opener to Mesa Mesa College of Grand Junction, Colo., used a grinding ground in the first game of the attack to defeat the host Dixie Rebels, season for both teams. The Mavericks punched across tallies in each of the first three quarters. The game was played under the lights in the beautiful Dixie Sun Bowl. The Rebels are now preparing for their next encounter against Eastern Arizona on the home field September 26. Coach Sarkis Arslanian has had six lettermen and three other who saw limited action last season to mold his team around. The squad of 36 has displayed ample spirit to make up for their lack of experience. Last season Dixie finished second to national champion Boise in the record. The Rebels have consistently finconference race with a ished in the first division of the strong Intermountain Collegiate Athletic Conference (ICAC) under Arslanians direction. They shared the conference title in 56. During his stay at Dixie Arslanian has compiled a overall record. league record, and a Score by quarters: 19-- grid-der- From the Bench By JEFF HOLLAND Autumn in Dixie to sports enthusiasts doesnt mean the birds are flying south, or that the leaves will soon be falling to them it means that an oval pigskin filled! with hot air will be kicked, thrown, and squashed, along with a few boys, to officially start a new school year and usher in the exciting American game of King Football. For grade school kids football means a few torn shirts, dusty pants, and an occasional bloody nose. For the Dixieite, be he businessman, farmer, rancher, or student, it means meeting old friends at the stadium, enioving a hot dog and soda pop, and cheering hi.4 lungs out. And, for some even, it means doing a little hindsight quarterbacking the next day in a downtown barber shop. But for one highly individual, idolized sect, football means sweat, hard work, and a weariness which doesnt seem to be realistically linked with a sport. This group consists of boys who, after a long week of fundamentals, scrimmages, and skull sessions, don their pads, uniforms, and helmets on Saturday to take on all comers in defense of Dixies athletic prowess. The indescribably exhilaration that comes from nowhere to swell in a player and coach alike (and a few thousand hushed spectators) as each awaits the kick-of- f makes every bruised bone and aching muscle worthwhile. So goes the life and events of the school-bogridder; and win, lose, or draw during the season (wins definitely scheduled on the Rebel and Flyer slate) every hard block, good tackle, and ground gaining run should be appreciated by townspeople and student alike. Two losses to start the season (Mesa over the Rebels and Henderson, over, but it only leaves Nev., over the Flyers)) isnt anything to one direction to go up. Both coaches gained valuable! insight on their resoective teams strengths and weaknesses, and (he separate evening encounters are not to be considered total losses. for the various Dont think that this column intends to cover-uteams if they fail to produce.

For the past three weeks, Sarkis Arslanian. assisted bv Doug Hunt, student teacher from the Utah State University, has been putting the boys through their paces in the swimming pool. Now (like a proud mother duck) he reports that all but the four in the class have progressed to the point where they are doing, with all kinds of ease, the side stroke, crawl, breast stroke, and back stroke. Bv the end of the third week all the boys knew enough about the art of swimming to at least save themselves if necessary. Following the swimming course, the bovs will be taught touch football; soccer, using the trampoline, ropes, rings, and mats: volleyball, basketball, wrestling, archery track, and the fundamentals of a variety of social dances. This phase will necessarily involve a few girls. The final part of the year will be devoted to badminton, golf, and outdoor activities such as theory of camping, hiking, and outdoor rec- Backs: Richard Hafen, 165, 6.
