The Pocatello Sports Committee has contributed $1,000 to the Milton W. ���Dubby��� Holt Scholarship Endowment and calls on other organizations that have held successful events in Holt Arena also to contribute.
   ���Without a Holt Arena, there wouldn���t be a Sports Committee,��� says I.J. ���Babe��� Caccia, Holt���s longtime friend and a founding member of the Sports Committee. ���We hope that other people who have benefited from Dubby Holt���s vision in building this facility will contribute to the Holt scholarship fund.���
    The Sports Committee has backed numerous community events, including professional boxing and wrestling and the world-championship cutter races. It got its start by successfully promoting the 1987 and 1988 NCAA Division I-AA National Championship football games in Holt Arena.
    ���It���s a wonderful thing that a group will step forward with the realization that Holt Arena has provided opportunities for thousands of people in the community and beyond,��� says Dr. Kent Tingey, 窪做惇蹋厙 vice president for university advancement. ���I appreciate Babe and the Sports Committee for showing this leadership.���
    The Holt Scholarship provides financial assistance for fifth-year student athletes who have completed their eligibility. Preference is given to Idaho residents within 32 credits of graduation. Candidates should have a minimum 2.5 grade point average, and have demonstrated leadership, character, involvement in student organizations and community service.
    Some past recipients include track-and-field athletes Jackie Poulson, Benjamin Allen, Ashley Tucker, and Danny Harry; soccer player Sarah Hobdey; golfer Jessica Thames; and tennis player Denise Cockrell.
