Five of Utahs top seven men are products of Salt Lake junior tennis. And Utah likely is one of the top eight teams in the nation along with USC, UCLA, Young, Rice, Michigan and USC and UCLA are perennially a notch above the others. But Western Athletic Conference powerhouses like Utah, BYU and Arizona are closing the superiority gap between them and the Trojans and Bruins. Utah easily defeated all teams in the Pac 8 ' except USC and UCLA, whom they meet this week. The Utes have won from all the normally I strong tennis schools in northern and southern California, like Stanford, California and San Jose. Arizona beat another national power, Trinity, 4 BYU and beat Michigan twice by scores of at Utah beat Provo, 5-- 7-- 2. 5-- 4. Tough Tennis League Boasting three of eight top teams, the Western AC might well be the toughest league in the nation. It has to be one of the toughest. Since the WAC was organized, the league has had at least two teams each year score among the! top 10 in the NCAA finals. James has often been accused of being over zealous in his approach to tennis. There can be no doubt that he is intense . . . and he admits it. I know of lio other area in athletics where local performers are making a bigger national splash than in tennis, Harry boasts. And as our indoor facilities increase, our national tennis image will grow. We try to orient our tennis athletes toward national exposure. A young man or woman can play in Utah and Intermountain tourneys all their lives and never really know how he or she compares to national talent. We do not want our netters to be the best in the West. We want them to be the best in the nation." Indoor Courts A Boom James is convinced that accelerated construction of indoor tennis facilities has caused a national interest boom in the sport. d It requires a program to be competitive on a national basis. We will likely never have enough indoor facilities to handle the tennis interest. But we now have nine indoor courts between Salt Lake, Ogden and Provo. That certainly helps, especially where our college players have access to them. year-aroun- th Future prospects alwujs have an unselfish adult net ter who is anxious to help develop their talent. This is why our little league is so effective. Jim Osborne, eighth ranked singles player in the U.S., and third ranked in doubles, claims he can find the kind of competition here in Salt Lake to keep his game honed for tough national foes.

Word today that the NCAA committee on infractions has lifted restrictions on its athletic teams except football which will undergo another review at a later date.

Don Megale, head tennis coach at Oregon State who currently is pursuing a doctorate at U. of Utah, commented: I think I have seen all the great tennis programs in the United States. But I havent seen any to compare with the Salt Lake City area . . . certainly not on a population basis. Megale, like other tennis coaches throughout the nation, is impressed that U. of Utah consist- ently ranks among the nations top college powers using snow country natives. The answer, of course, is like Megale pointed out a junior tennis program so supremely organized that any youngster with natural talent and desire has the implement to exploit his ability. No one is happier, or more grateful, for this tremendous program than Harry James, Ute tennis coach. And Harry has done much to help pera dream of David L. petuate this junior program Freed, former U.S. Davis Cup captain. Arizona, Brigham Houston.

The area is rich in scenery' and history, an excellent place to take the entire family for several days. Bait cannot be purchased as yet in Vernal or at the reservoir, so it should be obtained before leaving home. When fishing. Our own party with Brent Checketts and Bill Ewer of Salt Lake City took 15 trout two pounds or better, plus smaller fish, in half a day There are indications it will get even better in the weeks ahead. Now is the time to fish Flaming Gorge! Several reasons are that the water is wanning, fish are growing hungrier, and hugging the shoreline more closely as spawning activity in- crease..
