Phil Osteen, 27-1- American Perry, League: ( : Vj Six football teams, and at least seven of them are within whispering distance of first place in the standings. Three games on this Friday's schedule will have a major effect on the standings. The three key games will have American Fork at Carbon, Spanish Fork at Pleasant Grove, and Lehi at Payson. All six of those teams are within one game of first place. The other game will have Uintah at Springville. The American Fork Cavemen are presently leading the league 0 with an undefeated record, but not far behind them are the Carbon Dinos who are also undefeated, but have played to a tie in their first league game with 2-- Springville. The two teams just happen to be playing each other Friday night at 7:30 on the Carbon field. Cavemen coach Don Mower has personally seen the Dinos play only during 15 minutes of action at the Football Carnival, but has seen films of the Dinos tie game with Springville. Tough Triple Option "We are going to have a hard time stopping their offense," explained the Caveman coach.

Fowler intercepted two passes as Last week the Cavemen scored well as running effectively on offense. a big 22-- 0 victory over Payson, but despite the score Mower was not satisfied with his offensive showing. "Our offense wasn't too sharp," he explained. "Our kids managed to capitalize on some breaks, so we were able to score some points."

Payson should be able to score enough to narrowly defeat the Wildest Stock Car Race CHARLOTTE, N.C. Pioneers. The battle between Uintah and Springville is a duel between the two bottom teams in the Region. Springville owns a victory and a tie, while Uintah has the misfortune of possessing a record that shows only two losses. Devils Look Good While Losing Springville hasn't looked too bad despite not winning. The Red Devils tie came against Carbon, while the loss was by only seven points to Pleasant Grove. The Devils can move the ball. Their offense sharpened considerably in last week's game against the Vikings. The passing game proved quite effective, until the rains began to fall, and the passes began to be dropped. The Utes, as a result of their record must be considered the weak team in the Region at the present. They have scored only six points so far in league play, and have allowed 60 points to be scored against them. Because of this, tha Red Devils should easily gain their first league victory. The Region Six schedule with the favorites in bold face type. (UPI)-Da- vid Pearson, half of the Woods Brothers Mercury team, has the hottest car on the track for what looks to be the wildest stock car race of the year. Pearson won the pole position for the National 500 Nascar Grand National race with a qualifying lap of 158.539 m.p.h. Ba- edging Buddy Wednesday, ker and breaking the qualifying record of 158.493 m.p.h. set last year by A.J. Foyt. Baker, behind the wheel of Bobby Isaac's old K&K Dodge, turned in the second fastest lap Wednesday, 158.450 m.p.h. With all the top NASCAR drivers on hand for Sunday's race, plus a handful of aces from the U. S. Auto Club, not to feud mention a between Richard Petty and Bobby Allison, the National 500 is shaping up as the race of the year. Petty and Allison have been at each other for the past few races, and, especially in the Wilkes 400 last week, have been given to smashing into each American Fork at Carbon other's car at high speed.

Pleasant Grove should win in another close battle. Lehi Travels The Lehi Pioneers travel to Payson to battle the Lions in another key contest. Both teams have identical records of one victory and one loss. Payson's win was a big walloping of Uintah, while Lehi win over squeaked by with a Pleasant Grove. Last week the Lions fell to American Fork 22-in a game that was a little more than expected. Lehi dropped an unexpected contest to Spanish Fork Lions Pass More Payson has changed offensive tactics a hale this year. The passing game is being stressed more than it has during past years. The change in strategy paid off against Uintah, but it apparently wasn't too successful against American Fork. Lehi's strength is in its solid defensive team. The Pioneers have good size, and are well sant Grove, so Coach Gillespie isn't too concerned about his players being mentally ready for the game. The game is also providing the Vikings with a chance at gaining some revenge. The Vikings have lost five con- coached.

"We have been thinking about last year's loss, and we definitely want to get even," explained the young Viking coach. The Vikings have a little more depth than the Dens. Their ground game is also excellent, and they pass enough to keep the cellent passing attack. "Our ground game is really better than people think. Last week we scored on the ground.
