Although the game was tight till the fourth quarter Payson continued to fight and slowly turn the game into a win for the Lions. Payson had not defeated the Dons in basketball for 7 years but the jinx now is broken. The game was a defensive battle from the start with both teams having trouble opening up and getting rallies going. The first quarter saw both teams exchanging baskets often and remaining even.

Brad Olson picked up a free throw for Payson seconds later only to have Jim Taylor of the Dons score right back and it was knotted 10-late in the first quarter. Gary Weight then put on the moves and scored for the Lions underneath. Dave Clark of the Dons then closed out the scoring in the first quarter with a pretty basket and the first quarter ended with the score Payson 12 and Spanish Fork 12. The second quarter was almost as close as the first. Clark scored a quick bucket for the Dons and then the Lions ran 6 straight 4.

Changes made for anglers The 1971 Angling Proclamation becomes effective January L Opening day for the general fishing season is May 29; fishing hours remain the same, but changes were made in creel limits and closed waters. The creel limit on grayling was reduced from 16 to eight fish, and the limit on trout taken from the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam was reduced from eight to six fish. There will be no limit on bluegill and white bass during the 1971 season. Other changes for 1971 include reduction of the area where bonus cutthroat or brook trout may be taken, and some additions and deletions to the closed waters list. Chumming and the use of corn as bait will be outlawed on parts of the Green, Strawberry, and Blacksmith Fork rivers, and Koosharem Reservoir. Anglers planning winter fishing trips should pick up the new proclamation and become familiar with it before going Utahs 1970 waterfowl season comes to an end at sunset, January 3, 1971. The goose season closed on December 20. Hunters going afield in the northern portion of the state will find marshes frozen and few ducks remaining in the area. There is still some available along rivers and canals, but most waterfowl have already moved south. Hunters in the southern part of the state may have better success as late migrating ducks move through the state. Wherever you live, Sunday, January 3 is the last day to try out that new Christmas shotgun on waterfowl in Utah. Be sure you have a plug in that new gun if you use it for waterfowl. jump-shooti- ng !

C. 18-1- we had a chance This last week-en- d to talk with Thane Telford, President of the Nebo Cutter and Chariot Association which has members in the Spanish area. He and his wife, Kathy, some interesting background inus gave formation on the cutter races which we think you will find interesting. It would be almost impossible to credit any one area with beginning cutter races because of the spirit of competition among horsemen of all times. Afton, Wyoming, receives the honor of beginning the cutter racing association. In the beginning regular bob sleds were used. As the competition became keener, the outfits were streamlines until they reached their present status. At first work horses were used, but later saddle horses were introduced to the sport and now race horses are Last year the man who won the World Finals held annually in Pocatello, Idaho, paid $50,000 for one horse on his team and $10,000 for the other one. These races are extremely close with only a nose difference in the horses. Last year the local association was Races were run for a while formed. in West Jordan due to the mud on the track at Hughess. This year, however, the members have banded together and improved the area. Starting gates have been installed, a rail has been added, and sand has been hauled in. As a result they have a beautiful track with parking available to spectators on top of the hill. This provides an almost unobstructed view of each race from start to finish. Programs are printed up each week and sold to spectators for 10? each to pay for their printing. Ads are included on these programs which have been sold to local merchants. These races are held each Saturday beginning at 1:00 p.m. Eleven races are run each afternoon. There are no long waits between races, which means they are finished in approximately an hour and a half. These fellows are working toward the Utah State Finals the last of February in West Jordan where they will compete with the other 13 associations in the state. From there they will go to the World Finals in Pocatello. How about going over and supporting this group each week in Spanish Fork.
