could be the best the Bears have had in years Bear River with a student body of only about 600 competes in the tough Region One where all but one of its opponents have student bodies of 1200 o: more The other school Logan High has neatly a thousand students Peterson was forced last year to go with a young team and often started only two seniors It should pay dividends this year in experience aid the record “I don’t mind saying this this is the best team I’ve ever coached in all around ability experience and desire" said Peterson “These kids have had winning attitudes in the past they've won in their junior high and sophomore and we feel they’ve got something “We’ve got some kids who want to play foot-h-t’is year they reported back in good con-i- d we feel good about their attitude" fiver opens the practice season against oday and travels to Sky View Friday hosting Logan in the Region opener on n Sept 15 Peterson set his offensive alignment noting that most of his players would be going both ways At the' quarterback will be Dave Nielson who is a good runner an adequate passer and proved to be a good scrambler last year Besides providing the offensive leadership Nielson will do most of the place kicking backfield Behind Nielson is a Returning starters Randy Holmgren whom Peterson considers the “key to our offense" will start at fullback “We have one of the faster kids in the region in this Holmgren kid” said Peterson “and probably the best running back in the Region and one of the best in the state” At the left half will be I jrry Warburton who lacks size but has adequate speed He has been elected one of the of the Bear River squad At the right half will be Don Bronson who is used primarily as a blocker Peterson feels he has good depth in his offensive backs with capabilities two deep “We feel it’s important to have our three bat men back there all the time" he explained “We teach each boy all the backfield positions so he can fit in where we need him” On the offensive line Darrel Anderson in his first year of varsity play will be starting at the 5-- 1 6-- ig backs The center linebacker will be Bryon Chadaz while Eldon Peterson will be the safety The two defensive half backs will be Johnny Fromp and Steven Kearl Kearl is also the punter for the ' M-hou- Bears averaging nearly 40 yards a punt last year with one punt for 65 yards “I feel we have good balance” said Peterson “Probably better balance that we’ve ever had This is a good bunch of guys who have a determination to win and a good attitude and I think we can make up for our lack of size” Peterson has 10 or 11 returning lettermen on the offense and near that amount returning on the defense “We knew we had these kids coming and they worked hard for us I think it’s going to pay off for us "If we don’t get injured on a key man we’ll be in real good shape” With an experienced squad good quickness speed and a lot of desire this could be the year the Bear River Bears return to glory in

Redskins Edge Past Dolphins By United Press International George Allen is still undecided as to whom his starting quarterback will be but Curt Knight has left very little doubt as to who will be kicking Washington's field goals this season Knight booted field goals of 51 and 24 yards in the final period Thursday night that enabled the Redskins to rally from a kickoff touchdown return by Miami's Charley Leigh and edged the n 4 in a Dolphins 101-ya- 27-2- pre-seaso- contest Knight's winning boot came with only 36 seconds left in the see-sacontest which saw the Redskins raise their exhibition record to 1 Head Coach Allen again divided playing time between Billy Kilmer who led Washington into the championship playoffs last season and Sonny 4-- Jurgensen the No 1 active passer in the National Football League But his decision as to who will be his field goal kicker is all but settled as Knight who led the National Conference in points scored last season with 114 has looked impressive in play Leigh who had touchdown returns of 99 and 57 yards called back on penalties in Miami's contest last week tied 1 the game with his electrifying run late in third quarter In games

Gehaav and Gary Simmons whom Peterson considers hDs best lineman At 190 Simmons has good size for the offensive line and in fact is the largest player on the Bear River squad Randy Zundel and David Reed will be the offensive tackles Both are small for tackles not reaching the 185 lb mark “They have to deal with speed and quickness” noted Peterson “and this is what we’re trying to work with" Eddie Shaw will be one of the ends while Keith Thompson and Kent Thompson will trade off at the other end Another end will be Val Peterson “We have quite a few good senior ends” commented Peterson “Shaw should be a real good one He played last year regular on the defense as well as the offense and did a good job" The Bear River coach noted that he will run several formations including the winged-- T and will probably be throwing more this year than in the past “With Randy doing the running we should be able to open up the passing game a little and be more effective" Peterson will use most of the same players as starters on the defense but notes most players enjoy it more and feels the defense could be stronger than his offense Simmons will be the center guard with Sutherland and Reed as tackles John Thompson will be at one end Bronson and Roger Calister will be at the corner Sports Editor TREMONTON-GARLAN- TIm HJ§UJ 210 Jr: Willie Halaufia Orlando is a frosh member of the
