Show BINGHAM-PARK CITY GAME by AL ABLETT The Bingham Miners became I state champions of the B division divis-ion by beating Park City 14 to 6 at the U. of U. stadium Saturday. Bingham spotted the Park City ; boys 6 points in the first quarter i and things didn't look so good j for the locals. The game had ! hardly gotten underway when Knudscn fumbled and Park City J recovered on Bingham's 30-yard 1 stripe; and for the first time this j year Bingham's line failed to hold, as on five plays they had ! the ball on the 8-yard line, on the sixth play they sent husky Joe Nichols crashing over for ! six big points. They tried a running run-ning play for the extra point but it was smothered. The remainder remain-der of the first quarter found Park City holding Bingham at bay and those six points began to loom awfully big. But in the second quarter Bingham Bing-ham got the break they had been playing for after being held on about the Park's 30-yard line. Santlstevan, who does the kicking kick-ing when Knudsen isn't in the game, sent a towering punt down field that went out of bounds on the Summit's teams one .yard line. Murnin kicked from behind his goal line, traveled to the 32 but at this point Park was .caught holding and the penalty put the ball on their 18 yard line. Billy Boren, who had taken Knudsen's place at tail back hit the line for 2 yards on the first play and then he showed why he is one of the most feared runners in high school football- Taking the ball on an end run around his own left sde he scampered all the way to the Promised land. Jack Knudsen was sent in to kick for the extra decimal and he did, putting his team ahead 7 to 6 at the half. The third stanza was a see-saw battle that saw Bingham knocking knock-ing at the door on two different occasions but a gallant Park City line held them at bay. But that J second touchdown was as sure as death and taxes and in the fourth quarter it happened. Park i got its back to the wall when Schultz. Bingham's all-state con- ter broke through and blocked Murnin's kick on the eleven yard line as the third quarter ended. The teams switched sides and j j Bingham took the ball to the 5- I yard line where again the Park j j line held. They kicked out to a-1 j bout the twenty and with Knud- ! sen carrying the Miners went to j the three where they failed to make first down by inches. Bor-1 en was again sent into the game and they gave this little atom bomb the ball and he exploded j the ball to the 9-yard line, Jones j took it for one try and then the mighty mite on two tries crossed ! the double stripe and Knudsen again told it through the cross ' bars to make the score read 14 to 6 and Bingham's gallant Miners, Min-ers, the new state champs.
