Show Sports Specialties by Pete. After following the skiing world around for the past three months yours truly has settled down to convey to you interesting interest-ing facts and dope appeariing here and then? in the sports of skiing, golf, tennis and archery. OLYMPIC SKI TEAM The best results of our long winters in the mountains are shown by the choice of the U. K. Olympic Ski Team. Some people peo-ple frown on old man winter and are relieved when spring hits the valley, but to seven l.'tahns the long sking season has done the trick. You might say that the Olympic team is a Utah team. Pk'k Movitz, Jack Reddish, Don Johnston, Corey Kngen, skiing for Utah and De-veroux De-veroux Jennings, skiing for Aspen, As-pen, are the men that were selected se-lected from the Olympic try-outs. try-outs. Anne Winn and possibly comely Sue Ilaris are the choice of the women. This is a direct result of our long ski season here so close to town. Young Sue Harris is the most improved improv-ed skier that I can think of this season. I think she should have a place on the team without any question. She was always I in the first ten even though she I was racing with three Swiss ' and two women from Canada. El X ER Fit ED BO The passing of Einer Frcdbo was a blow to every jumping , fan and especially so to at least twenty youngsters. He had j been coaching them for the past winter and they needed him very much. Between them and their coach they had planned plan-ned to put. Salt Iake City on the map again in the jumping world. So Ski Hcil to Einer. 1 think the boys will carry on. NEW ARC HERY RAXGE ! Archery has taken a step forward with the Salt Lake bowmen putting up a bowing range in Emigration Canyon. ' The course consists of four-! four-! teen 4ft. targets, ranging from - ten to eighty-five yards. I like I it due to the fact that I don't have to wait to be able to start shooting. You will probably see the Utah archers place very I high in the National Field meet to be held at the Spruces in I Cotton Wood canyon this coming com-ing August. The present course is tough and will allow stiff practice shots to anyone. Deer hunters will get plenty of shots at, various ranges and position. Number eight target is shot in four positions. One arrow to a position, shooting at 85, 80, 75, and 70 yards. This target I have shot possibly 20 times and have only scored twice. It is in a beautiful setting. On all sides of the mountains you can see herds of deer grazing in the sun and the aspen and oak are now starting to take leaves. The grass on the side of the hill is getting green and wild flowers are starting to bloom. If you really want two hours of fun get your bow out and try the course. GOLF RESERVATIONS The greatest thing that has happened to golf for the past few years has taken place on Bonneville and Forest Dale. Re- Nervation, of playing time has met the approval of all golfers, especially the married men. I've seen the time when it was necessary ne-cessary to wait two to four hours before getting on the tee. I have been in the dog house a I thousand times because I wanted want-ed to play eighteen holes and still be home in time fordin-e ner, which I never was. Xow one can play in more than four hours and not have to waste time waiting. There is only one catch, if you are alone, and have not lined up a foresome, you are out of luck. My suggestion sug-gestion is for you to leave your name with the golf pro, or starter, and let him arrange a game, and tell you the time and with whom you are to play. The pro would really be doing something if this could be done. SKIING GOOD 'TIL MAY Mayor Watson from romantic roman-tic Alta, and Zane Doyle i'roin Brighton, state that skiing is better now than it has been all winter and that we should have good skiing far into May. Well, if you can stick to reading this kind of stuff and like to hear items of interest that happen in this locale, just bear with m.e and I'll see what I can do. |
