The contest, played as a part of home coming and Alumni day, was turned into a walk away for the Cavemen as they scored two touchdowns within ten minutes of the opening whistle and completely dominated the play until the game ended. The final score was 21 to 6. This victory gives Coach Inger-soll's Inger-soll's boys the lead in the Alpine-Nebo Alpine-Nebo sector, according to percentage percent-age points, over Lincoln who has lost one game and tied one game, the same as American Fork. Lincoln, however, has played one game less than the locals. Springville and Lincoln were to have played a game scheduled for October 15th but postponed it because be-cause of stormy weather. Springville Spring-ville indi.:atd after Friday's game she would forfeit to Lincoln. This forfeit, if allowed, would tie American Ameri-can Fork with the latter school. American Fork officials protested to the regional board arbitration who passed it on to the state athletic officials. The state board met in the Deseret Gym -Tuesday and -ruled" -that it-was - up- to-the regional officers offi-cers to decide between Lincoln and A. F. as champions. Early Wednesday morning it was decided that American Fork should represent this district In the state tournament. The boys will play Fillmore at Fillmore Saturday in the semi-finals. Should they win they will play the winner of the North Summit-Tooele game for the state championship.

American Fork Fourth ward was next to reach their quota by turning In 69 subscriptions with a quota of 67. The First ward ana Second ward came through with 68 and 63. Their quotas were 67 and 62, respectively. The director of the Third ward reports they have their quota as soon as a few more promises ma- Iture. The Alpine ward is having difficulty in selling the Improvement Improve-ment Era but all are working hard to reach the top. "There has been some exceptionally exception-ally outstanding work accomplished by enthusiastic ward directors and they should be congratulated for their very successful endeavors. "With all the remaining good prospects from most of the wards and only 33 subscriptions to go, it is quite probable that the Alpine Stake will reach its quota of 306 subscriptions in a very short time."
