Schedule change for football

There has been a change in plans for the Los Gatos and Saratoga football teams.

They'll still meet next week in a key game in De Anza Division of the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League to continue their long-standing rivalry--they just won't meet on the night listed in their season schedules.

The Los Gatos-Saratoga varsity football game will be played on Oct. 9, 6:30 p.m., following a 4:15 p.m. frosh-soph game.

The two games were moved from Friday to Thursday because of Yom Kippur.

Coaches needed for basketball

Youth basketball coaches are needed for the upcoming season in the program offered by the city of Saratoga.

Adults are needed to teach youngsters the basic fundamentals of basketball and to supervise them during games and practices. The program coordinator will provide training in basic first aid, coaching techniques and philosophy. No experience is necessary, but knowledge of basketball is helpful.

Games are played on Saturdays from January through early March. Practices begin on Dec. 2. For more information, call 868-1252.
