The game winding down, trying to hold onto a slim lead against a favored opponent (15.9 points according to the Salt Lake Tribune's Parry Power Guide) only to have the contest slip away at the last second . . . It was just last year as a matter of fact, against these same Bear River Bears at Uintah.

Although the Bears regained possession, pos-session, this Ute team was not about to fold under the pressure. Uintah's defense staged a stand just inside their own territory after Bear River had gained two first downs to give the Ute offense the ball back.
