Hatch didn't do that badly His record stands a 59victories, 93 losses and eightties Bui Bates figured it was time for a change after the newyear.Former Harvard star VicGatto was brought in as new coach and Hatch remained as assistant athletic director and associate professor of physical education.I didn’t quit and I wasn’t fired,’ says Hatch, a pleasant, outgoing individual. The president of the school, Hedlev Reynolds, talked with me, and said. This situation must be getting to lie a real burden for you You can’t be looking for ward to next fall ' Until he said that. I think 1 was I’m a glutton for punishment I never became completely discouraged, Ialways thought we could win.we could win.”Hallelujah.

They escorted him under the shower They didn’t throw him in.Bat»*s men don’t do that — even when they finally win one in four vears.HIAUSTIN, Tex (UP!) -Athletes who wear long hair not only are rejecting established authority but also exposing their abnormal’’ drives and breaking with Biblical principles. according to the lead article of the May issue of Texas Coach.”Tony Simpson, a head coach in Galena Park's school system, wrote the article. In it. he called fora nationwide ban of long hair on athletic fields.It is time that American coaches stopped allowing themselves to be personally represented by male athletic teamsand individuals that look likefemales,” Simpson saidIt is time that American coaches realized that a male's hair is not just an American tradition hut an issue involving Biblical principles; timecoaches stopped rationalizing and compromising their common sense; time to show the American athlete that his most valuable characteristic is not physical ability but respect for authority.If common sense dictates that long hair on a man is a disgrace, let’s stop compromising our common sense by allowing it,” Simpson said A good hair code will get the abnormal out of athletics before they become coaches and bring their ‘losers’ standards into the coaching profession.”Simpson’s article in Texas Coach,” the official publication of the Texas High School Coaches' Association, came within weeks of an association decision to ban long hair on participants in its annual high school football and basketball all-star games.Two Houston athletes, including the most sought after prep basketball player in Texas— Eddie Owens of Houston Wheatley—said they’d boycott the games before they’d trimback their sideburns and Afros.Why do many coaches rationalize and compromise their norms and standards of good grooming habits and allow themselves to be personally represented by males that look like females’’” Simpson wrote.A male with long hair is a sign of rejection of authority-his own authority over himselfwas well as the authority of the laws of the establishment,” he said Under the laws of the establishment, God designed the male to dominate the woman just as He designed Christ to dominate man.Simpson said the Bible in-NEW YORK (UP!)-Theturfworld wondered today if Secretariat’s lopsided victoriesin the Kentucky Derby and thePreakness would turn the 105thrunning of the Belmont Stakes on June 9 into a “walkover ” That is highly unlikely in these days of big purses With only two starters, second place in the 14 mile classic would be worth about $32,000 Although the race is three weeks away, Secretariat already is a l-to-10 favorite to complete his sweep of the Triple Crown classics and become only the ninth horse in history to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont StakesI have no idea how many horses will start in the Belmont,” said trainer Lucien l-iurm, indicating he really didn’t care lbs darling wasback on home grounds at Belmont Park, safe, sound and ready to run again, after a triumphal raid show The big, handsome, muscular colt toured Kentucky and Maryland, smashing the 14 mile track record at Churchill Downs and probably lowering the 1 3-16 mile record in winning the Preakness Stakes at Pimlicoon Saturdav.Two expert dockers for The Daily Racing Form, Gene Schwartz and Frank Robinson, who probably have timed a million horses between them, each caught Secretariat in 1:53 2-5That was better than Canone-ro’s record of 1; 54 set two years ago and much better than the t 55 flat record by the electrical timer in the Preakness Satur day.Even Ted McLean, the official timer at Pimlico, caught Secretariat in 1:54 2-5 but he tailed to notify the stewards as is customary and the 1:55 was posted as official.I^iurin has asked that the situation be reviewed and Secretariat be credited with the record That appears to be unlikelywThe relieved little trainer was more interested in getting Secretariat ready for theBelmont Stakes now that his colt is so close to turf immortality.“1 don’t know of any new horses coming into the pictureWarriorssign lettersMERIDIAN Two MendJin High athletes have signed national letters of intent according to an announcement made Monday by Meridian athletic director Daryl Kellum Randy Lindley, a 6-3. 225 pound offensive tackle has inked with Idaho State University and Greg Young, a 6-2 basketball guard, will be giving the hard-boards a try at the College ofSouthern IdahoIPTI» VvVV-*i dcSmmmmk 1{lV.OV-PisVICWE CAN HELP YOU KEEPYOUR PHARMACEUTICAL COSTS DOWNDid you know that not all pharmacy prices are the same?
