Show n PAYSON THE CHRONICLE Thursday, April 17, 1969 Track meet Lions ball team loses two games Payson Lions ball team lost two games week. Tuesday, after leading 6 to 2 going into the last inning, Payson had a fielding lapse and opened the gates, Pleasant Grove had the game won by a score of 10 to 6. Poise in a team is almost as important as ability and when you lose that very necessary asset, things go from bad to worse. However, there seems no sense in dwelling on a bad play, after it is over, nothing can be done about it, no use crying over spilt milk, just try to shake it off and go about your job in the best way you know how. In their second game bf the week, the Lions tied into Provo, one of the Northern Division powerhouses. And true to their billing, Provo won 9 to 1, in what was recorded as a no hitter by Provos pitcher Thompson. The Lions are now even with 2 wins and 2 loses in the Southern Division of region 4. Games this week: Thursday, Springville at Payson 3:30 last Participants in Jr. High Gymboree These are but only a few of the more than one hundred participants in Payson Jr. High Gymboree to be held Friday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m. A program of various activities has been in rehearsal for the past several weeks, included will be skating, polynisian dancing, gymnnastics and tumbling, square and social dancing, marching, and many more.

Four years ago, the Fish and Game began neck collars and ear streamers on elk trapped during the winter to get year around visual observations on these animals for studies on elk migration patterns. Before this time, only metal ear tags were attached to elk trapped during the winter operations and reports came back only after an animal was harvested by hunters and they returned the ear tags. Data on migration patterns of elk herds can be compiled in a relatively short time because of the increased number of reports received due to the bright collars and ear streamers. More animals are now wearing these collars and the visual observations of collared elk will continue to play an important part in the management of Utahs elk herds. Anyone who observes one of the tagged and collared animals should report the location of the animals and the color of the collar to any office or iofficerofthe Divison of Fish and Game. Spring Games next week: Tuesday April 22 Carbon at Carbon Thursday April 24 Spanish Fork at Spanish Fork Final week of the season Tuesday April 29 Springville at Springville Thursday May 1 Carbon at Payson Future leaders Ever get fed up with all the talk about the modern youth and their problems? Do you wonder just where we as a nation are heading, considering what we read daily about the kids of today???? If this has bothered you, may I suggest a remedy? Last Saturday, it was my pleasure to cover the Snow Invitational Track Meet in Ephriam. Assembled there, were hundreds of the finest track and field men from both class A and class B schools. From appearance , every school was represented. The color was reminiscent of the jousts in King Arthurs Court. Reds, oranges, blues, yellows, every hue of the rainbow. Hundreds of young men, who had spent hour upon end, getting in shape and sharpening up on their specialty for this meet and others to follow. It was really a riot, a riot of color. A demonstration of 4good clean sportsmanship. The warm spring sun turned the faces from light pink to a bright red as the day moved on. Spectator and participant alike, enjoyed the competition, old friendships were renewed and many of the states college and university coaches were looking around for future track men. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and one recommended for anyone who has reached a feeling of disgust at the stories you have been hearing about the youth of today. They are the greatest, they break records every day, they show the highest degree of sportsmanship, they are training their bodies to the finest edge. These are the future leaders of our community and surely deserve the combined plaudits of all of us. THINK UTAH!

Ranger Evans stated that the Palmyra recreation site will be kept closed just as long as possible because the ground vegetation needs to have a rest from the many feet that fall on it. He pointed out that Palmyra is a very heavily used site and the ground is getting compacted. If it can be given a chance to rest from such compaction, then the grass and other vegetation will become more vigorous and better able to take more foot pounding.

He reminds the public that the areas are a part of the federal recreation fee program or Operation Golden Eagle and require entrance fees or the Golden 1 .. The Lion Track Team traveled to Ephriam Saturday and showed up exceptionally well. After Saturday, the impression was left that the only way to beat the Payson athletes, was to break a meet record. The events started off early in the morning and before lunch the first record was set. Mark Lafferty took a third in the Javelin, behind a record shattering performance by Steve Alger of American Fork. Next, Gary Powell dueled with Golden Richards of Granite and took a second as Richards set a record in the long jump. These two will have a couple more chances before the end of the season and Gary is getting ready. In the afternoon, Gary Powell took a fourth in the 880 behind another record breaking performance by Daryl Moss of South. This was a very fast group and Gary really moved in placing. The medley relay, however, was the real heartbreaker. Orem and Payson runners were even the entire race and finished in what appeared a dead heat, setting a new record. However, after almost an hour of deliberation, it was officially awarded to Orem, with Payson taking a second. Many observers felt that had there been movies of the finish, Payson may well have been declared the winner, it was that close. Congratulations to the medley team of Dave Ter-voGary Powell, Dennis Wall and John Ballard, as well as Mark Lafferty for the impressive results they achieved against the finest track and field men in the states high schools. Much credit is due Jim Durrant, for his tireless effort in preparing his team for this rugged competition. This Friday, the Payson Lions will have a meet with Springville here in Payson. Lets hope some of the students are able to tear themselves away from their books and drop over to see what track is all about. On April 30 the Sectional meet will be held here in Payson.
