It was strictly no contest from the outset and Duchesne managed to penetrate Park City territory only once. The Miner attack was paced by halfback Kip Foote, who exploded for four touchdowns in the first quarter. Foote missed all of last season with a broken collar bone but he went inside and outside against Duchesne Friday and had their defense turned inside out. Quick Start Playing under sunny skies before the home crowd, Park City wasted little time getting get-ting on the scoreboard despite de-spite kicking off. Duchesne failed to move the ball on their first possession and went into punt formation. forma-tion. But a bad snap from center thwarted the kick attempt and Park City had the ball at the 15. On second , down and goal to go at the 10, Foote carried to the one. On the next play the senior halfback half-back burst over right tackle for the score. Higham's point after attempt sailed wide to the right. Things didn't get any better for Duchesne the next time around. In a third-and-eight situation, Park City mounted a fierce pass rush and the result was an interception by Jeff Smith. On second down, Higham handed the ball to Foote, who went off left tackle for 18 yards and another touchdown. touch-down. Higham made the conversion con-version despite a 15-yard penalty and Park City led 13-0 with 7: 17 still remaining in the first quarter. Another Bad Snap After Higham boomed another an-other wind-assisted kick into the end zone, Duchesne tried again from their 20. And again, the Park City defense would give them nothing, forcing another punting situation. This time the snap was low and defensive end Marty v A. - ",T, v V SIP 7 . .

On second down, ' quarterback quarter-back Higham rolled to his right and spotted Foote wide open in the corner of the end zone. The pass was complete and the conversion kick made it 20-0. Unable to run or pass the ball, Duchesne couldn't kick it either. Faced with a fourth-and-15 situation and a history of punting non-productivity, non-productivity, they elected to go for the first down. The result was a quarterback sack at the eight. Higham then called on Dave Eley and the senior fullback bulled up the middle for a touchdown. The kick was good. Highlight Duchesne mounted their first offensive thrust of the game on their next possession. posses-sion. Park City was called for pass interference and Duchesne found themselves in unfamiliar territory at their own 34. Apparently uncomfortable un-comfortable so far from their own goal, they fumbled on a counter play and Mark " Uriarte .recovered , for s the Miners at the 28. . On first and ten, Foote went around his left end for'an eight-yard gain. On the next play, the halfback took the handoff, went over right tackle, then broke for the sideline. Twenty-yards' later he was in the end zone and Park City held a ridiculously easy 33-0 lead with 19 seconds still to be played in the, first quarter. More of the Same Early in the second quarter, Cowin sacked the quarterback quarter-back on third down. But Duchesne again elected not to punt and the fourth down pass attempt fell incomplete. With a 33-point lead and a team attack of food poisoning poison-ing the only threat to victory, Miner coach Bob Burns sent his reserves into the game. The faces were different but the result was the same. Quarterback Bill Tatomer went around the left end for a first down and then plunged one yard for another Miner touchdown. Duchesne finally managed to get a punt off and a startled Park City responded a few plays later by fumbling the ball at the Duchesne 30. Duchesne recovered but they lost 15 yards on first down and then fumbled on a hard hit by Uriarte. Park City recovered. Slower Pack As the Miners took the field to start the second half, the scoreboard screamed for athletic euthanasia. Burns responded by electing to kick rather than receive and by playing his junior varsity offense for the remainder of the game. The only score of the half came in the final quarter when Park City blocked a punt that went through the end zone for a safety. Homecoming , Sporting a 2-0 preseason record and an unscored-upon defense, the Miners will play their homecoming game this Friday against East Carbon. The contest starts at 4'p.m. ine local rugby season climaxes this weekend in City Park as the Muckers host the 9th Annual Park City Rugby Challenge Cup. Eight teams will be battling for the coveted cup in one of the most popular rugby tournaments in the country.

The tournament began in 1971 with Utah and Colorado sides playing in round-robin competition. Three teams finish with identical 2-1 , records that year and all three, including Park City, claimed a share oi tne cup. The Aspen Rugby Club won its first of two consecutive cups in 1972. In the 1973 finals, Aspen was hard pressed by the host Muckers and needed a try in the second overtime to win 12-6. The 1974 Challenge Cup was notable for the introduction of the "Park City Method" of determining early round matches that ended in ties. Borrowing from soccer, "drop kickoffs" were instituted insti-tuted with five members of each side attempting one drop kick apiece. The team converting the most kicHs was declared the winner. The Dead Goat claimed, the '74 titleWd bwe kgaln it was Park City that fell victim in the final. This time the score was 23-6 with the Goat pulling away at the end. The Challenge Cup was taken to California in 1975 when Irvine Coast outlasted the Calgary Stags in a 9-4 defensive struggle. In 1976 another team from Calgary, the Canucks, took the championship, beating Snake River 34-17. This began a three-year domination domina-tion by the Canucks. They defeated Snake River in the final once again in '77 and repeated in '78, thumping the Denver Barbarians 27-0. New Winner If there's one certainty in this year's Challenge Cup. it's that J(Mgary will wit win for-the fourth year in a row. The Canucks are playing in France, leaving their title chances behind. Among those primed to drink from the cup are the Park City Muckers. "Except for Rocky Collins, who is out for the season with a knee injury, we don't have any injuries at all," Mucker coach Alamo Dave Mueller said Monday. "Everybody is in town and healthy and we should play well." The Muckers are coming off a winning effort in the Zebra Invitational, held in Poca-tello, Poca-tello, Id. and this should give them momentum going into this weekend's action. "The competition in the . Zebra Invitational was not as ;Strong 'as' it wlli'be here," Mueller said, "but we played good rugby and it was a good Continued On Page 6 Netters Win One, Lose One &mk m&w mw& m Park High's girls tennis team earned a split in a three-way match held at Mt.
