Why Not PLAY in Utah?

It seems TO be the fad in Utah. and
has becI for some years. to send many
Of the promising young athletes from
local schools to eastern colleges Just
as soon as they begin to show any
great amount of ability in school
sports. This is not true in all cases.
but the writer could name dozens Of
young men who have been sent to east
'ern schools, and apparently for no 9TH
er reason than that they have shown
athletic ability. The fact that Utah
needs its own athletic young men to
help upbuild the states leading educa-
tional institutions is overlooked entire
y, and yet some people are constantly
casting slurs at the states university
II does not excel all other
western colleges in sports.
If it was a question of better educa-
tional facilities there might be a e a
son for il. but il is not. The only rea-
son seems TO be a desire on the part
of the parents to see their sons name
in print in some eastern paper as an
athletic star. They are not content to
see hin lead in his home state, but
prefer to have him spend his energies
in helping to make a reputation for
some eastern school thai never has. or
never will, do Utah any good. The
parents are content to live here all
right. and make their money here. but
for some reason that the writer can
not explain. seem TO think nothing in
Utah is good enough for their children.
Just as long as his spirit prevails. Just
so long will the Utah schools have to
play second fiddle 10 the east.

men preducted a failure for Freed.
claiming that he did not know the
game. But Freed had one thing more
important than all the knowledge ever
gained from a dope sheet or on the
race track. and that is good. common
horse sense. This he used on any and
all occasions. and as a result stands
forth today as the most successful pro-
motcr Of the horse racing game thu
state has ever known.
Freed started out with one thing in
mind. n he has stuck to ii from the
start. His policy has been to please
the public and not run the races for
the benefit of the horsemen. Freed rea-
sons that the public pays for it and is
entitled 10 first consideration As long
as the people are satisfied the game
viii prosper. but when they become
dissatisfied it is back 10 the pillow for
the horses. II takes money to make
the mare gO.-and the source of revenue
must therefore be protected. And this
is just the policy Freed has carried on
ever since he has had charge of the
state fair races.
The director of speed at the fair is 2
firm believer in the hurry up habit in
running off races. He makes the horses
get out on time or there is something
doing. On last Friday the writer stood
ALONGSIDE of Freed when he called for
the last race on the program. The
jockeys We're = little slow. Freed
placed the m~egaDhope to his mouth
and called out. II viii give you boys
two minutes TO get out here" Then he
pulled out q watch. In ffty-eight sec.
Onds the first boy was on the track.
and ono minute and thirty-two seconds
after the call was given the starting
field was in front Of the grand stand.
Freed also has the habit Of running
his w department. which is another
reason for its success. The other di-
rectOrS can do as they like with the
pumpkins. COWS and merry-go-rounds
but nix on hat little show on the
half-mile track that attracts the thou
sands who go to the fair. Sometimes
life is not all JOY for Free. This is
when some hCrseman has = plug which
ne thinks Is another Dan Patch or Lou
Dillon and wants Freed to put on a
race for his horse to win. AS soon as
the manage Of anything begins to
listen 70 q person who IS out for The
money and nothing else. there is soon
a managerial reputation lost by the
Wayside. Al this stage of the arEu-
ment Freed is generally there with the
nothing doing sign. and then proceeds
to put ON q race which. in his judy
ment. viii please the pecDle. The re-
suit is n bigger crowd the next day
after his race has been run.
The horse racing game at the state
fair has certainly been brought up To-.
q high standard from the spectators
standpoint in the past couple of years.
and the credit belongs to the present
director Of the speed department.
