Show "A" Gridders Eke Out 13-12 Victory Over Tooele Once again South's smooth clicking grid machine chalked up a hard fought game against the invading Tooele high school, 13-12, Friday, on the Cubs' field. Coach Wardell's gridders started the game with a bang by scoring their initial touchdown in the first few minutes of play. Dave Cooper, quarterback, received a returned punt from the invaders in-vaders and streaked down the field sixty yards to hit pay dirt. A line plunge for the extra point was successful. A few minutes later, the Blue and White boys marched down the field for their second score. A pass from Slingin' Dave Cooper to Captain Sid Faldmo advanced ad-vanced the Cubs nearer to Tooele's goal. Once again, Cooper's accurate ac-curate aerial pass took effect as Lawrence Palmer wrapped himself around one of his passes and scored scor-ed the second tally. "A" DIVISION October 10 South at East October 17 East at South October 31 West at South November 7 South at East The attempted conversion proved unsuccessful. The first quarter ended with the Southerners holding hold-ing on to a safe and on the long end of a 13-0 score. The second canto started with the Cubs desperately trying to stop the onward march of the vis- itors. Bill Paulos caught the Cubs off guard as he slipped off to receive a sleeper pass to score their initial score. The attempted conversion was blocked. The score read 13-6 at the end of the half. Both teams fought hard in the third quarter, driving into each other's territory, but neither having hav-ing the punch to hit the goal line. At the end of the third, the score was unchanged 13-6. Late in the fourth, Tooele steadily stead-ily rolled deeper into Cub territory terri-tory until they finally crossed the line, thus making the score read 13-12. Tooele was still on the short end of the score by failing to succeed in the attempt for the extra point. For the Cubs, Dave Cooper was the offensive spark, but the entire en-tire backfield composed of Cooper, Faldmo, Anderson and Palmer, were all exceptionally brilliant. |
