UINTAH KEEPS SLUGGING WINS IN LEAGUE PLAY A tough ball game Thursday afternoon after-noon of last week on the Uintah diamond dia-mond resulted in an almost scoreless game with Uintah defeating Union 1 to 0 after seven innings of play. Ken Edrington, winning pitcher for the Utes, put the one point score of the game into action when he led off in the seventh with a single and moved to second se-cond base on a passed ball. He moved to third base on a sacrifice by Greg Hatch, and scored on a long fly ball to center field by Gary Wilkins. Both teams had scoring opportunities with Uintah stranding 11 runners in the ball game. Both teams were playing tremendous def' nsive baseball, according accor-ding to Coach Ted Taylor. The outstanding defensive play of the ball game was the catch of a line drive by Gary Wilkins in the third inning. Tuesday's game also saw Uintah victorious vic-torious over Notre Dame 13 to 3. Randy Reynolds was winning pitcher for the Utes. Coach Taylor said the game went in the Utes' favor from the bottom of the first inning. Uintah scored five runs in the first inning in-ning and from this point on had almost free sailing. Reynolds pitched the whole game, striking out eight batters. The Ute club's defensive play was outstanding out-standing again, Taylor noted. A basketball story follows as it was printed in the Vernal Express Jan. 23, 1969.

Wasatch's high hopes for a state contention con-tention wrestling team was humbled by the Utes' wrestling squad. The Utes are looking very aggressive and sharp as the season comes closer to an end. Coach Dennis Preece stated outstanding wrestlers were Joe Gowen at 133 and Glenn Murray beating Adams, number one contender, by a score of 4 to 0. One of the biggest matches of the , night was Tree of Wasatch, a number one contender at 180, who wrestled Ed Johnson, unlimited. The Utes' big Ed "tore Tree limb from limb," and pinned him in the second round. The Uintah JV team defeated the Wasatch JV 55 to 8 in an excellent match for the Utes. Uintah's B team beat North Sum-mitt's Sum-mitt's varsity team by a score of 39 to 9. The B team makes the varsity what it is as is evidenced by victories this year. Probably the best match was Jim Miller at 165 defeating Moore. Miller had a slow start and lost the takedow n, but he led the rest of the match and pinned pin-ned him 1:31 in the third round.

The Uintah Utes were the underdogs again this week against the Union Cougars, but outplayed the Cougars and came away with a well-earned 78-68 victory Friday night in a hard fought game by both teams. Early in the game, both teams got into in-to foul trouble. Jim Marshall, who usually is the spark plug for the Cougars, had four fouls at the end of the first quarter, and had to be content watching wat-ching his team from the bench for most of the game. Union scored only one field goal the first quarter, but did a fine job from the foul line. The Cougars settled down to playing the kind of basketball that had them once ranked first in the state at the beginning of the second quarter. They finally started to click, but the Utes were on fire and out to win. Union tied the ball game at 50 50 and Jirn Marshall had a chance to put them ahead, but missed the one and one situation from the foul line, f rom then on it was the Utes all the way. The Utes were hot, and each player put all he had into the crucial game, bale Allred and I,ie. Murray had 17 points each, and Gary Wilkins and Billy Johnson both scored M points.
