The following 20 questions are designed to help the athlete appraise the offers and choose a college where he can succeed both academically and athletically. 1. Is it a fully accredited, highly rated ever-zealo- us institution?

View from press box Ignorant athletes By Roy Celia Education Good news, talked to Supt. Joe Reidhead Friday just prior to the Payson-SpaniFork game and he assured us that the district would include in the budget for next year, sufficient funds to provide sponge mats along the wall under the baskets in Payson Gym as well as those other high schools that lack them now. Great and a move that should prevent future injuries to players. Better a few dollars of prevention, than months of anguish for students and parents if some one were to sustain a serious injury. The Supt. attended the Spanish game with mixed emotions. He has to walk a tight wire when two of the teams in the district are playing each other, but he was there rooting for both teams with his wife and had a ball. Saw a good game. too. Lots of the Lion rooters were inSpanish Fork for the game as always no matter where Payson goes to engage in contests the fans follow. Now how about putting out a little more effort to support some of the other groups on campus? There is always the distinct possibility that the lessons learned in the so called minor activities may well stay longer and mean more to the students than participation in various games. All of them are important but must be judged in their proper relationship to the total development of sh Fork-Pays- Terry Carter number 50 steals the ball from a Spanish Fork opponent. Helping out is Gary Weight, Payson's outstanding sophomore. Both Terry and Gary are Paysen's high scorers. Payson Lions fight losing battle with S.F. Womans tourney Sid Hansen and the tall Dons proved a little too much for Payson Friday. Led by 6 Hansen, center, Spanish Fork beat a smaller but spirited Lions team by 20 points. Payson never quit fighting and in spite of being down by as much as 14 points, kept up the pressure on the Dons and drew within six points in the late stages of the fourth quarter, before finally falling victim to the Dons. Leading scorer for the Lions was Gary Weight with 14, followed by Terry Carter 6-- Women bowlers are invited to sign up now at the Bowl-MLanes for the annual Womens City Bowling Association Tournament to be held Jan. 31 - Feb. 1.

Gary Weight and Terry Carter had a tremendous job on their hands under the boards Friday night. Big Sid Hansen gave them both fits, but they never gave up and really hustled the entire game. If Gary had a little more beef, 'he might be able to muscle the big centers'like Merrill and' Hansen. After all, he is giving away 80 or 90 pounds and that really puts him at a disadvantage in spite of his great moves and WON Spanish Fork Salem Santaquin Payson A Payson B Spanish Fork B desire. Gary Powell almost blew his top as he had a couple of disagreements with the calls, no one has exhibited more desire in the last couple of games than Powell. He is very intense and dedicated and playing up to his potential. Since the Carbon game, the Lions have been putting out 100, considering they have lost three games to some great teams, should take nothing away from their effort. At least they havent played dead, they have continued to improve their play and actually been very close to winning against Spanish and Provo. 6ld mans league' STANDINGS on ' is a wonderful thing.

He studied hard and worked equally as hard on the basketball court. That year with John towering over all the other players, the freshman team went undefeated. John always the high scorer. At first he wasnt sure how many points he scored in a game even when it was in the paper. But he did learn to count that first year with the aid of tutors. He wondered, but didnt say anything about them being called tutors. Not one of them played a trumpet. The next year John didnt play basketball. He worked out with the team but center still because another seven-fohad a year to go, John was by the coach. John didnt understand this, because although the coach had given him a dozen beautiful white shirts, he didnt give him any red ones. But John was happy and didnt miss playing too much. He would make up for it the next three years. The coach got him a job to help pass the time. He became a draftsman. As a draftsman, it was Johns duty to open and close the windows in the dormitory...at a salary of $250 per month. The next three years were great ones his for John. He was picked sophomore year. In his final two years, on several teams. John made The newspapers were filled with stories of his brilliant career. And John saved every clipping. He still had difficulty with some of the words.

He was a seven foot, ignorant, uneducated fellow. Why did John leave home and go 2,000 miles to school? Well, for one thing it gave hime a chance to try out the beautiful sports car... the one the nice coach gave him He even saved some of the money the man gave him for gasoline and other expenses. because John couldnt read the big letter up on the side of the hill didnt mean that he couldnt pass the entrance examinations.

(Meals, dorms, fellow students, , ' etc.) ed area After youve answered these questions, narrow your choice to two or three tutions, and make some campus visitations. If this can be done at the college's expense, fine, if not, make the trips at your own expense. Be careful not to allow yourself to be sold entirely by the beauty of the campus grounds or to succumb to alumni pressure. Try to be as objective as possible. Be sure not to sign anything until youve talked to your parents and are positive. When you have made your decision, have the college coach put the offer in writing and sign it. Since hell probably ask you to sign a letter of intent, he shouldnt object to doing the same for you. Once youve signed, give the college your complete loyalty and be determined to be a winner in the classroom and on the field.
