Show Lions begin basketball season The Payson Lions under Neil Roberts opened their basketball season Friday night against the North Sevier Wolves at Sauna. The Lions had only 4 days practice before this game due to the Lions championship game with Judge Memorial in football Nov. 19th. The Lions came out on the floor led by captains, Curtis Burton and Brad Olson. Payson started Burton and Terry Carter at forward, Gary Weight at center and Olson and Mark Etherington as guards. The Lions had their problems from the opening tipoff. Gary Weight picked up 3 fouls in the first 4 minutes of the game and was replaced by Robert Warren. The Lions hustled well and rebounded well but were left with no time to get ready for the game and it showed. Curtis Burton did shoot quite well for the Lions in the first half and got 6 points early in the game. Both ball clubs were plagued with fouls throughout the game and played a major role in the Lions Loss, The Lions fell behind early in the game and never quite recovered. North Sevier had some fine players in Steiger, Shaheen and Kiesel, who came up with big points and fine defensive plays throughout the game and have been practicing for nearly a month which was a disadvantage for the Lions. Payson showed alot of spirit under their new coach and are coming along quickly. The Lions did show some very fine defensive plays at times on the part of Brad Olson, Mark Etherington and Jim Durrant. The Lions did a good job on the boards with Terry Carter and Robert Warren. Curtis Burton was high man in the scoring department with 17 points. Its a matter of time and the Lions-havthe material to be roaring when the Region competition begins.

The Lions although still showing they were a little rusty were very aggressive throughout the contest and carried the action to Morgan in the first half. The rebounding of the Lions was well done as the Lions out rebounded the Trojans 2 to 1. Gary Weight was putting on some fine moves for the Lions throughout the game. The Lions took a halftime lead 5. to the dressing room of The second half saw the tide turn back to the Trojans as they quickly scored 2 goals from outside and then they put a rt zone press on the Lions. The Lions had trouble with the press and lost the ball coming down the floor on turnovers many times. The 'Trojans made steals and Gary Peterson and Bruce Odle went in for layups and scored well the rest of the game for the Trojans. Coach Roberts called timeouts to try and break the press and the Lions started moving the ball late in the game but the Morgan team had the momentum and they continued to make the big plays and force the Lions to make turnovers and Payson found themselves down 17 points late in the game. Still the Lions didnt give up and hurried the ball down the floor and Terry Carter and Gary Weight made some fine moves and rebound baskets. It was just not enough and to late in the game, however, and the final score was Morgan 63 and Payson 50. The zone press was the key for the Trojans and the Lions have just not practiced long enough to cope with it. The Lions were extremely tough on the boards and Gary Weight hauled down 19 rebounds, Terry Carter got 17 rebounds and Curtis Burton had 14. Turnovers were another mid-cou- story as Payson turned the ball over to Morgan nearly 40 times and Morgan only turned the ball over to Payson about 10 times.

Many thanks to all who particpated in providing this service to our team. NEBO LEAGUE For those of you who dont have youngsters around to remind you of the fact. There are just twenty-thre- e days until Christmas!! Now Im not talking about shopping days, I am just talking about aU kinds of days. That doesnt leave much time if you havent already done something to get ready for the holiday. Already the stores are looking somewhat picked over in most departments and some folks cant find the exact items they had planned to buy because they are no longer in stock. Perhaps youU have to do like Uncle Frank is doing this year. He says that so many times he forgets to get the right size or the favorite color or the right amount or some fool thing so a few weeks ago he got all of his shopping done in about an hour at one store and has the gifts all gift wrapped and ready to send and he says its the easiest time hes ever had and hes sure that everyone on his list will love the items. He is sure he wont have any worries about size, or shape or color or anything and if you can imagine it he is giving every person on his list the very same thing. I could make a game of it by making you guess what his gift is but I guess Id better tell you. It is money. He says he is just sure hell have no exchanges to make this year, and I just believe that Frank is right. When his kith and kin see .his check they are bound to give him nothing but praise. Grandma Birt has a good idea. She says that so many people dont bake homemade bread any more so she got busy during the summer making choice jams and jellies and storing them in attractive jars and just a few weeks ago she spent some days baking loaves of fancy bread and storing them in her freezer so that she is all prepared to give those on her list breads and jams and jellies to enjoy during the holiday season. Many ladies I know have been busy for weeks making fancy cookies and candies for their freezer so that they only need to pack them into containers and have gifts which will be welcomed by everyone. It takes time and forethought to get prepared for Christmas and often we let the time slip up on us but this year just remember that I warned you today that there are only twenty-thre- e days left so before your mate starts to nag you about it too go and get started. Increase rates American Telephone and Telegraph Company last week asked the Federal Communications Commission for an increase in long distance interstate telephone rates. The increases are centered on calls requiring operator assistance such as credit card, collect and coin telephone calls, which are more costly to provide.

In the same period, the consumer price index rose nearly 47 percent. The rate changes, to become effective January 19, 1971, are designed toproduce an additional six percent ($385 million) in total interstate revenues, Johnson said.
