Show Big Game To Determines Quarterfinal Contenders -'v- 3&2k$ , . -v VIP- t' P' ' t '. " ... A-l ''' J v L. jff j. J , i By Mike Walker If football games were determined deter-mined the same as boxing matches, the Milford Tigers would be in a very excellent position to participate in the Clasi A Championships. Last Thursday the Tigers appeared ap-peared to outplay the Panguitch Bobcats in all aspects of the game except one, unforunately that aspect was the scoring. In total yardage, first downs and overall defense, the Tigers came out on top. The middle of the Milford line was exceptionally ex-ceptionally tough with Mecham, Bailey and Barnes turning all Bobcat runners back. It was the long gainers and broken plays that defeated the Tigers. Hatch for Paniguileh opened open-ed the game with a 77 yard kickoff return for a TD, on the opening kickoff. Barney, the Panguitch quarterback, teamed up with Hatch for two more touchdowns through the air. Offensively the Tigers high point of the day came on a 70 yard end run by Scott Cook from the new Wishbone I formation. for-mation. It appears that the fumble cost the Tigers more than any other aspect of their play. With time running out and Panguitch Pan-guitch leading 30 to 28, the Tigers gave the ball up inside the Panguitch 10 yard line on the ninth fumble of the day, Milford recovered only one. Statistically, the Tigers had 240 yards rushing and 121 in the air for a total offense of 361 yards compared to the Bobcats 134 on the ground, 83 passing, total offense of 217. Panquitch scored in the first quarter, twice in the second quarter P"d in the last quarter for 30 p ints. Milford scored in each quarter but twice failed to convert for the extra points for a total of 28 points. The Tigers are down but not out, if they ca.n come up with a win in Cedar City this Friday against the Kanab Cowboys, who have been just tough enough all season, tieing the Tigers 18-18 in their previous encounter and beating the Beavers twice 16-6 and 12-0. The Milford bunch will have to contain Bob Ramsey and Joe Houston, the Cowboy quarterback quarter-back if they are to succeed. They wrk the option Very weU, and Houston does an excellent ex-cellent job of calling signals. Ramsey is dangerous every-time every-time he gets the ball, running for 60 yards against the Tigers in the first contest between the the two clubs. Last Friday he broke loose on a pass from Houston for 60 yards in the third quarters against Beaver and in the fourth quarter, returned re-turned a Beaver punt 85 yards for the Cowboys 12 points. The Tigers have their work cut out at 2:00 p.m. at the Cedar City High field Friday afternoon. FLASHBACK This picture of Jefferson's Merc taken in 1912, is a far cry from the modern up-to-date store now available to Milfordites- But Mr. Joe Tribole (center) who passed the picture along to us for publication pub-lication assures us that it was every bit as modern in that day and age as Jeff Merc is now. He describes the building as a frame structure, sitting in about the spot the present Jeff hardware dept. is today. He said that Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jefferson lived in the back of the store. Mr. Tribole was employed as clerk in the store from 1912 to 1918. Mr. George Jefferson manager of the store at that time is on the left in the picture and Mr. Fred Jefferson, the butcher, is on the right. |
