If you want to see some really cutting for the post position take a look at the recent doings r By DAN PATTISON Deseret News Sports Writer Las Vegas golf. Howard Hughes has bought the Paradise Valley Country Club fiom Hank Greenspun for $2.25 million (and at that figure Greenspun was able to keep 4,000 acres of land near or around the country club). And this is the country club which was started by Utahs Rube Jolley, former member of the Salt Lake County Club. Rube sold to Greenspun several years back and one would suppose that if Rube had to do it over again he might have waited until a Howard Hughes came along. The way leaguer Jay Van Noy puts it: Little League programs are great because the whole family gets involved. You get the picture. Johnnys father buys new glove and suddenly the kid becomes interested in something besides his dog Spot." With Johnnys interest in his new sport, mother and father want to see what he can do. Sister, Sally, doesnt want to be left out, either. What Johnnys new interest has become is a Family Affair which is depicted by Deseret News artist Charles Nickerson. Little League programs bring out the best in people. There are the dedicated people, like: York Nielson, Cedar City, and Ed Beard. Sunset, who accept no pay for their district administrative positions and want nothing in return. Nielson and Beard are administrators of the Utah area for Little Baseball Incorporated.

NEWS, of the golf club that this will urge the return of the Tournament of Champions to Las Vegas. That wont be easy to do. The former Desert Inn owners, who sold the hotel to Hughes, kept the Tournament of Champions and moved it to their own premises at LaCosta, California. There they staged it this year and resolved to have its permanent home there. If there is a solid contract in this matter the Hughes people will never get it back. If, however, there are no options, etc. it is very possible that the TOC will return to Diceviile. Propose PGA Move 4 er With the Hughes purchase of the Paradise premises it has been proposed to make Paradise Country Club the home base for the PGA headwhich is now at Dunedin, Florida, quarters where the PGA has its own golf course with their own tour academy. If Las Vegas could move the PGA to the West it would be quite a mark. Paradise Valley course has been approved by the PGA and has hosted the rich Sahara Invitational Tournament. With Hughes buying Paradise Valley it was necessary that Del Webb and his Sahara cohorts find a place they could call home for the Sahaia Invitational. This explains to some degree the reason for the Sahara purchase of the Stardust Country club recently. Golf remains big business. And one of the great benefactors in this course of events is Hank Greenspun. Family Affair Price-Helpe- American and ganization is also split in two National Leagues.

But there is one charter season ticket buyer she will not soon forget. About two weeks ago, a young man called Sherri to inquire about price of a season ticket. Why dont you come in and let me point out the seating arrangement and the various prices," Sherri replied. That way youll know exactly what you are getting and where your seat will be. Well, it took the young man a couple of weeks to convince his mother and dad he should withdraw $60 from savings, but Lawrence (Laurie) Hansen showed up in the Eagles office the other day with $72 for a season ticket. He brought three $20s from the bank, and then counted d out the rest to Sherri in quarters, nickels and dimes. Laurie, a past student at Horace Mann (he enters West High next year), earned the price of a season hockey ticket by saving shekels from a Deseret News delivery route.
