UTES DUMP STEAMBOAT SPRINGS 28-0 IN FIRST GRIDIRON GAME In the first practice game of the new football season Uintah High School overwhelmed Steamboat Springs 28-0 under the guidance of the Utes' new coach Louis Mele. There were plenty of fumbles and in the first quarter the ball changed hands four or five times. Finally Curg Belcher scored on the yard run and Alan Trujillo made the extra point. Uintah kicked off and Steamboat ran one play and fumbled. Uintah recovered and after a series of drives Ronnie Merkley carried over for a touchdown and Trujillo made another extra point. Uintah kicked off and after Steamboat Steam-boat Springs ran two or three more plays they fumbled again. Belcher made a good hard tackle and knocked knock-ed the ball loose from the carrier and Jim Vernon picked it up and ran for a touchdown with Trujillo picking up the extra point again. The first half wound up 21-0. In the second half Steamboat Springs kicked off and the Utes began a drive and finally ended up kicking on the fourth down. Steamboat latched on to the ball and started driving down the field and they punted back to the Utes. The Utes began to drive again and Belcher carried the ball from the 15 yard line on an end run for a touchdown. Trujillo kept up the good work with his fourth extra point. For the rest of the game the teams seesawed back and forth and Coach Mele used numerous substitutions. "There was good play by all the boys, especially considering it was the first game," the Coach commented. The next two practice games are Friday with Rangley there and September 23 with Carbon here.

This is the first league game of the season. The coach commented that the Indians In-dians played the best ball of the season at the Carbon High practice game for the first three quarters. The first Ute drive in the game came in the second quarter when they started on Uintah's 20 yard line and drove to Carbon's four yard line before time ran out for the first half. The score was 7-0 in favor of the visitors. The Utes opened the second half by kicking off and then driving for a touchdown by Curg Belcher on an 8-yard end sweep for a 7-6 score. Carbon Car-bon punted to the Utes and then ran a series of downs and fumbles on the 20 yard line. Carbon recovered and two plays later they scored again for 14-6 in their favor. At the end of the third quarter the score remained the same. During the fourth quarter the Ute's defense crumbled and Carbon scored two more Up vvw t , -j. . ; v v i. n n i r I .... . .... .M Y .-."t ' f X ' " ' Akk CI a:fcafc.-.t wtitfatu - . , , m , . , , , ,.m , - mMlA MtA ,. i il.'
