He wived my "wrong way walk" by taking me to all the contests at the old diamond in Roosevelt Years later when I was an adult I covered a basketball game involving local members of various police departments such as Utah Highway Patrol, Vernal City Police, Uintah County Sheriffs Department They engaged in euch a rough tough batde that I thought reinforcements would have to be called in from Roosevelt City and Duchesne County. I recall several players charging to the basket at speeds estimated at over 65 miles an hour, and several being called for fouls due to failing to yield the to the hoop. Some iff the police- were involved in high speed chases to the basket in a game that featured a fast break attack where the athletes had the green or light to attempt driving layups. The coaches didnt flash any red lights to try to stop the fast scoring show. Carlos Reed scored a few hoope and eo did Merv Gustin of the Utah Highway Patrol as well as many other officers.

I wished I could have invited Mr. Cartwright to our family reunion where he could have sampled fried chicken, con on the cob, salad and bunch iff tasty Italian treats, but of course he was on duty in the streets of Price, Utah. . i right-of-wa- y officere-tumed-hoopste- ra A Review of Local three-pointe- rs BUSINESSES' im Til You Can Shop police-hoop-eve- Uintah Basin Standard Don't Let Your Business ss ou Icall Robin At The Uintah Basin Standard For More Information 722-513- 1 '! si H- A Americans TOTAL HARDWARE Store Coming Soon To: tort's Thrifto West Hwy-4- 0 Roosevelt, Utah 722-5(- 50 I Automotive Lawn & Garden Appliances Hardware Electronics Sporting Goods Plumbing Housewares Electrical Tbys & Wheel Goods nt Li i |
