Changes In Junior Tackle Rules And Schedule
The 1973 Junior Tackle season introduces rule changes led by Bill Fournier of the Bonners Ferry County Youth Athletic Association. Major change lowers eligible ball carrier weight from 145 to 135 pounds to balance against larger defenders. The schedule lists games at War Memorial Field in Sandpoint with dates from September 6 to October 6 and new coaches and uniform requirements. A separate Idaho Bureau of Narcotics 24 hour drug roundup in Pocatello results in 17 arrests on drug delivery charges led by Robert M. King.
