Show Sports Bill Notestine This week-end, in the Uintas, the fish weren't biting, but the mosquitoes mos-quitoes sure were. A friend, Mike Crosby, and I went up to the Uintas to do some fishing, but mostly to get away. We were told how to get to Ruth Lake from an easy place from the road, but after spending half the night looking for it, we finally gave it up and went down to Trial Lake. On. the way down to Trial Lake, we had a flat tire; on the way up from hot old Salt Lake City, we boiled 5 times. We had a '41 Ford for transportation. Except for 2 things, wverything was perfect up there. The two things were: 1-No fish, and 2-Too many mosquitoes. We stupidly had forgotten for-gotten any insect repellent, and worms to fish with, as the only people who caught anything was a young couple who were using worms, and a fellow who caught a beautiful 2 12 pound Rainbow Trout by the tail. The scenery in the Uintas alone is reason enough to take a trip . there. Mike and I decided to climb Mt. Baldy, an from one point, we could see 26 lakes and ponds, a few of which are shown. ''All in all, we had a wonderful time, and I think that everyone should get away for the week-end to the "great outdoors". STOCK CARS. Dick Card, who was the Stock Car Champion four out of five years, but who had trouble last year, finally showed his old form when he won the trophy dash, the fast car heat, came in second in the first "A" -Main, but broke an axle in the second "A" -Main. Fred Sorensen kept up his fantastic pace by copping both "A"-Mains, and setting a new record for 30 laps with a time of 8 minutes 2 12 seconds for the 7 12 mile race. He started in last position in the record-breaking race. Freddie is now in second place, a mere 6 points behind Mel And-rus, And-rus, and Card and Alma Facer are battling it out for third with 145 and 144 points respectively.
