A preview of things to come in Western Athletic Conference track action happened last Saturday when Abilene Christian's mile relay team edged Brigham Young, 3:10.9 to 3:11.0. WAC relays are on tap this Saturday in Utahs oval. And the 3:11.0 BYU time qualified the Cougars for the NCAA and tied them with Texas El Paso for the best mile relay time of the season. There will be six relay events and six field events Saturday beginning at 1 p.m., featuring performers from host Utah, BYU, UTEP, Arizona State, Arizona, Colorado State, New Mexico and Wyoming. Despite its loss in the mile relay, BYU had an easy time with visiting Abilene Christian, taking 11 firsts to win But there is much to In1 done. It's too bad that we have an outside burning law before the rest of the state's clutter is eonsumed. I would enjoy arson if someone would give me license to burn all the old woodpiles, the abandoned shacks, the weeds and wastes in the abandoned plots of this state.
