' It ia amazing what a penon can diacover while cleaning up. I came acroei an early 1980a Univenity of Utah football program, which also contained an article an Utah! baaketball team with players such as Tom Chambers and Danny Vranes. Of course the main topic of discussion was the football team, but years later none of them have amounted to much in pro football. However, aaeistant coach Ron McBride has gone on to become the bead coach at the University of " Utah. " The basketball team now outshines the football team in the program. Chambers has gone onto an excellent pro basketball career which has included stops in San Diego, Seattle, Phoenix and now the Utah Jan. Chambers was the MVP at the Game several ago. Vranes, a hometown product from Skyline, was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers and now is currently playing pro ball in Europe. While in the NBA he waa known as a defensive specialist All-St- ar or course I couldn't throw away something as valuabla as a Univer-ait- y of Utah footbaHbaskstball program, but I considered tossing away a book on "BYU Sports Highlights". However, I decided to hold on to the book to check out BYUi 1984 National Championship and Danny Aingeh "Mad Dash to the Hoop" to beat Notre Dame in the final seconds of an NCAA Tournament game. I did get rid of a few things such as the life history of Doe Gooden of the Now York Mats. Gooden was a superstar pitcher in the early years of his career and he made the right decision to have his stoiy told early because lately the Doe haa needed some real lift doctors to get Ids career back in gear. The book is old news and I put it in dumpster. While going through the piles I discovered a story I wrote years ago in high school that I thought had been gone forever "The Night Sarita Got Hijacked!" Maybe it eras too violentfbr my school's Christmas' Story Contest, but it had a happy ending in that the "Evil One" saw the light and allowed Santa to deliver all the toys in time for Christmas. He waa sentenced to put together a 6000 piece puzzle of the North Pole with only 4,999 parts in the box forever and aver and aver.

At least they got it half right, which earned them a trip to the dump. Now ifI can just find the time in my buey schedule to clean my detk before Mrs. Clean (my sister) shows up.
