( AR Lakeside Review, Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1981 Bountiful Smothers Lancers With Slid: Ground Game Royals Suffer Key Injuries In Opener Everything was going Royal for the Royals when they trotted onto the football field Friday night at Judge Memorial. They were favored by a couple of touchdowns and they s to make it easier. But even won the then things began to happen and before it all ended, Judge Memorial had a big 7 upset victory over last years 4A runner-u- p team. Roys trouble began when Judge intercepted a Wade Jcklin pass on the second play of the game, and on the first series of play, Todd Taylor, a two year starter at linebacker injured his back. Taylor tried to play injured, but the pain was too much and finally he was benched for good. At first the doctor determined that it was only a bad sprain, but now they are suspecting a broken back. The Royals suffered another critical injury: Bart Hadley jammed his thumb and droped several sure passes, because of the injury. Roys problems as the game progressed, but much of it came from an aggressive Bull Dog front line. They sacked Roys quarterback seven times in the game, and four of those sacks came before Wade Jacklin could get the ball from under the center. Nose guard Dan Quinn of Judge was able to dive at the snap of the ball and grab Jacklins feet, and the Royals could do little to stop him. Mark Eggington, defensive and offensive tackle of the Royals, did not play well. He had been sick during the week and had to leave the game in the final quarter. Judge Memorial attacked the Royals where right up the they were touted to be strongest middle. The quicker, though smaller Bull Dogs, gained a lot of yardage, where it was least expected. Judge gained over 300 total yards and did it all on the ground. Roy countered with 200 plus yards, but could never effectively get its passing game going. The Royals did complete passes, but four of them were to 'he wrong team. , Judges Larry Colosimo carried fourteen times for 77 yards and a touchdown, while Russell Griffith picked up 69 yards on 15 carries.

Griffin throws a switch Friday night at Roy High School, the football field will glow with 66 kilowatts of power and the football game will be played in mid-da- y brightness. Roy-Bountif- ul Forty-fou- r 1500 watt lights, mounted on two 55 foot and two 68 foot steel towers, surrounding the field, will reach every corner of the playing field in. equal brilliance. Each light was mounted in computer precision at the factory to supply equal lighting. Cost of the project has exceeded $32,000.00, but it wont cost residents of Roy one cent. Ernest F. Durbano, a former resident of Roy, who still has family living here, donated the poles, the lights, the switch boxes, conduit and power lines, and men and equipment to erect the poles, paint them and to string the wire. Minimal excavating costs on the football field were furnished by the Weber County School District Maintenance De- partment. Mr. Durbano owns and operated railroad salvage and recycling business, which services the states of Utah, Wyoming, Nevada and a Southern Idaho. The steel poles he donated were originally built in Clearfield to be shipped to Japan for an amusement park roller coaster. The poles didnt meet the safety specs for that type of operation and became salvage. The south-sid- e poles were installed first and then lighted up for the night-tim- e installation of the poles on the north side of the field. The job was done between the hours of midnight and 2:30 A.M. because lines the power in the high-tensio- n running parallel to the field had to be shut down as an act of safety.

With 5:13 left in the game, Ashley dove into the end zone for six points and suddenly the Royals were back in both directions.

Its built to last a long time, said Ernest F. Durbano. There were a lot of people involved in the Roy High School project. Principal V.E. Griffin is in charge of operations and is assisted by Dr. R. Glen Miller, Assistant Principal, who is in charge of buildings and grounds. Athletic Director Ted Smith and the Roy coaches all played a part in the project, but the real hero for Roy was Melvin Wood, a personal friend of the donor, Ernest Durbano. Mel coached Ernie at Weber High School in football from 1948 through 1951. Ernie was my prize fullback, says Mel. He was recruited by Weber State for one year and then joined the Air Force during the Korean conflict. Ernie also wrestled for Mel Wood, and helped win the Utah State Championship in 1951. Durbano wrestled in the 165 pound division. It was through Mel Woods efforts that Durbano consented to make the lucrative donation to Roy High School. Mr. Durbano grew up in Roy in the days before they even had a school beyond elementary level. He attended junior high school in Riverdale and then went to Weber High. Most of his family still call Roy home. Durbano donated sets of four poles to Roy High School, Weber High School and Bonneville High School. Each set would cost $13,000 to $15,000 on todays market. Because of his close ties to Roy, Ernie went all the way in furnishing lights for the football stadium. Principal V.E.

The game was scoreless at halftime, but with 1:45 left in the third quarter, the Syracuse crew ran Jason Walker fifteen yards around right end for a touchdown and, with just twenty seconds left in the game, Conn Famuliner punched another one in from four yards out. The two runners each scored a P.A.T. to give the West Side Kids a 0 shutout over Farmington. The first half was played for the most part between the thirty yard lines.

We want to extend the bleachers on each side to the east and to the west, and we plan to install risers on the south side to give us another ten rows of seats. We also intend to cover the present seats with aluminum. Mr. Durbanos donation was made through The Weber County School District Foundation, whose purpose it is to solicit money and gifts to be used for enrichment programs beyond what the tax dollars can support. The Foundation sponsors symphony groups and also the Shakespeare Festival, which is held at the Swanson Environmental Center. The actual electrical installation was performed by Winward Electric under the direction of Project Manager Bert Butters. Those lights were set by a computer at the factory and tested on a grid with light meters, after being installed at Roy, said Mr. Butters. spirit, Layton should be tough to stop. Friday will be a game that Lay-to- n has to win. They will be tested to their extreme and must pass the test, as well as the ball. All in all it should be a hard fought game for all those who attend.

Griffin told of other building plans at Roy High School. Bids for a new gymnasium and a new auditorium will be let in December, said Griffin, and completion will be about 430 to 450 days from bid opening. Cost of these facilities will be in excess of five million dollars, said the Roy High Administrator. Speaking of money, the cost of lighting up the football field for one hour of football will be $293.15. The 6600 watts of power used would furnish the electrical needs of 40 homes for that one hour. But, said one official, We plan to have residents of those 40 homes, plus a few thousand more, at the ball game, and that will more than offset the cost of night football in Roy.
