The red line splitting the neutral zone and the rirk, was intiated in 1943 to speed up the game. Prior to this division line, a team passing beyond the first blue line was offsides. Now, a team may pass to the center division line. ( Playing conditions in two rinks of standard size are seldom identical. Some boards are lively, some dull. Some are stiff, others resilient The puck bounced differently. Ice varies, too. some ice is slow, some fast. Golden Eagle coach Ray Kinasewich tags Salt Palace ice extremely fast. Speed of the ice is regulated by thickness and compressor efficiency. Salt Palace ice will be maintained a inch thickness, which seems to be ideal. five-eight- The Although home ice advantage is dying out with advent of new arenas, more than a few times in the past home teams have slushed the ice to slow a fast team.

The Irish wore tartans as well a3 the British and tne Caledonians of Scotland. And the Celts in Europe trapesed about in the tartan. Some, people up Aggie way said that Logan was named after a Scotsman named Logan. Maybe so, but our histories have it that a friendly old Indian Chief (Gannett) was dubbed by the French - Canadian trappers with the name of Logan Fontenelle (somewhere between 1820 and 1938). The river was called Logan Fontanelle and the city named after the river. No Highlander or Scot there. J.l er, timekeeper and announcer. There are six men on the ice.

Except for goalie, of fly interchange players keeps hockey's bench real active. Hockey is not a game of six starters. Three forward lines and two or three sets of defensemen interchange on the fly every 60 to 90 seconds. Only sub in strict sense of the word is the reserve goalie.

' There are objections to it and there are arguments in its favor. The new name was to be announced (after about a year of study by students, faculty and some alumni) for the September 27 game. But this date has been postponed pending further study. If this is what the present generation of Aggies would like to have then it is their matter, of course. And this corner is for them. We of the old Aggie days will continue to hold in reverence those Fighting Farmers, old Agatha, (the Aggie cow made Immortal by the famous paint brush of artist Everett Thorpe). . In The Hearts Of The Countrymen. ; It is no ones intent to wipe out the history of Utah State Agricultural College. Rather, it is intended that this ancient history be held dear to the hearts of all the Cache countrymen forever and ever but in the meantime it is planned to come up with some monogram, some image that no longer is it more than a memory and the brand on old Agathas flank. . We shall never forget those old Aggies, the old A.C. or the big man in the bib overalls and his pitchfork which Charles Nickerson and Everett Thorpe have kept as the USU symbol. Might be that our old Farmer will look pretty plaids ever had pert in those kilts. If the their day this is it. By DAN PATTISON Deseret News Sports Writer A running back is.a gridder who depends on the linemens blocks, timing, his own ability and the right attitude. The Utah prep scene has many' good backs in all three Gass AA, Class A divisions and Class B. Heres a few: Eckersley, Gordy Layton; Stevens, East; Scott Wayne Highland; Stinson, Granite; Ron Cox and Val Oveson, Orem; Rick Davis, Delta; Kevin Gully and Pat AJoia, Judge; Gayle Carter, Beaver and the list keeps mounting. In the preps most coaches like to see the running back go both ways so he shows he is versatile when it comes to those scholarship offers. The runner can be the leader of the team and set examples which pulls the club together. Of course, what the runner dreams of are those titles and what comes with them fame and fortune.
