Show The clock ran up and down the sidelines during the Uintah-Lehi game as it refused to stay up on the scoreboard. Marland Stagg moved back and forth down the sidelines as he kept track of the time on a hand-held clock during the entire game. "The control con-trol switch on the scoreboard is broken, but it should be ready for the next game," stated Uintah High School principal, prin-cipal, Bill Caldwell. Stagg was the keeper of time during the game and he was one of the most important persons as the head official would turn around and shout, "Hey, buddy I don't want to lose you. Stay close to me." Stagg turned in an outstanding job of keeping track of the time as he kept the officials, coaches and players awai-e of how much time was left in the football encounter. When asked to comment on the first game played by the Uintah Utes, Curg Belcher, Uintah's head football coach remarked, "We didn't play well. We weren't ready for a ball game. Lehi is a good ball club. We have to learn from our mistakes and become a good ball club, but we are not one now." Uintah's only scoring opportunity took place in the second half. The Utes decked Lehi quarterback, Wade Cardon, Car-don, and the ball was knocked out of his hands. Brent Hales recovered the football foot-ball on Lehi's 19 yard line. Uintah advanced ad-vanced the ball to the 12 yard line, but two times Uintah players were dropped . for losses. Lehi's Mark Jones intercepted in-tercepted a Ralph Warby aerial to end the threat. The Utes moved into Lehi territory late in the fourth quarter on a 40 yard bomb from sophomore quarterback, . Pat Jenkins to Dave Emery. Emery carried the ball to Lehi's 30 yard line, but time ran out on the clock before the Utes could score. The pass from Jenkins to Emery was a rollout pass that was right on the money. Uintah will host the Union Cougars, Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Belcher remarked, "We've got Union, Friday and we are going to win the game." The biggest Ix'hi thorn in Uintah's side was Mark Jones. Jones scored two touchdowns, dropped Uintah's Ralph Warby for a safety and intercepted a pass deep in Lehi territory. "Jones started a number of games as the varsity quarterback in 1979, and . Wade Cardon played junior varsity football. Cardon is a little letler passer than Jones and Jones is a better runner. We made Cardon the quarterback Jones a running back," staled Lou An-drus, An-drus, U'hi head football coach. "The v. in was a team effort. We had 23 guys, who played good ball. The Uintah team is going to be a good team. Curg Belcher is a fine coach. He has a good bunch coming up." Andrus added, "Jones did a good job for an old quarterback turned linebacker and runningback." High school football players appear ap-pear to he a lot bigger than they used to he ten years ago.
