The Tigers, defending champs in Region Three for the past four years, hardly looked the part in the battle against the Cavemen Wednesday, but grabbed grab-bed the victory in the final two minutes of play by blocking an American Fork punt, catching it in the air and running fifteen yards for a touchdown. Earlier in the game the Tigers powered a touchdown late in the second quarter, but fell into a tie in he third period when American Am-erican Fork intercepted a pass on Lincoln's 40, drove for two first downs on straight football then scored after a gallant goal-line I stand by Lincoln was spoiled by a five-yard penalty. Heroes of the game for Lincoln Lin-coln were Lewis Edwards, alert center, who blocked the American Amer-ican Fork punt in the last minutes, min-utes, and Don Adams, end, who gathered it in and rambled for the score. The Tigers were out-weighed for the first time this season, and bish and inflammable material from basements is also good fire insurance. He points out that "A clean home seldom burns."

All registered voters have had their names transferred to the rolls of one of the 12 voting districts dis-tricts and it is possible that some mistakes have been made in assigning names, according to Orland E. Pyne. city recorder. He advised all voters 10 check at their present registration places. The map below indicates the 12 registration districts and the registration places in each. Two more registration days. Oct. 18 and Nov. 1. remain before be-fore the municipal election. Mr. Pyne also ponied out that in three districts, the registration registrat-ion point and the voting place are not the same. In District 6 the voting will be done at the City Hall; in District 7 the voting will be held at ' the Veterans Memoral building; and in District Dis-trict 8 the balloting will be at the home of Letha Gurr which is across from the Timpanogos ward amusement hall on East 8th South street. drives over Lincoln tackles, and up when the Tigers moved the the big Caveman line toughened ball into offensive territory. The Tigers' first score came after the locals took the ball on their own 44. A neat end run by Mako Hideshima counted for 20 yards and Farley's pass to Adams Ad-ams was good for another 15, while Taylor plugged away at the line to pick up a dozen yards on several tries. Taylor drove it over from the one foot mark just one minute before halftime. While the locals were getting past American Fork, the strong Payson crew was manhandling BYHS, 30-7, to mark the Lions as challengers to Lincoln's crown. ' ' a. H. !

Inasmuch as four judges of election had declined their appointments ap-pointments the following replacements re-placements were made: District three, Lois Drage and Emily Long: District 9, Zenda Rowley; and District one, Sylvia Morley. The council discussed the graveling of roads at the city cemetery. It was ponted out that during storms the roads at the cemetery are almost impassable. To remedy the situation the roads should be built up so water wat-er from sprinkling and other water would run off, thus leaving leav-ing the roads dry. The Council agreed that the undeveloped portion por-tion of the cemetery should be disked and planted in grass- 'Red' Velvet Mayor J. W.

It was revealed here that the national crop of apples is 36 million bushels higher than last year, and 26 million bushels hgher than the 10-year average. Only two or three cars have been shipped out of the state and no apple packing ouses are operating, operat-ing, so slow is the apple market throughout the nation. Local growers declare that the crop here is slightly lighter than normal tuit that the quality is exceptionally good. Growers say that production costs for most apples run in the viciniy of $1.75 per bushel but that first grade Jonathans will probably wholesale at $1.30 to $1.50, while Delicious will sell for a-bout a-bout $2. The federal plan for apple purchasing will have little affect on market conditions here, according ac-cording to growers, who point out that only five cars will be purchased here by the government, govern-ment, which is only a 'drop in the bucket" to the several hun dred cars which are usually shipped out of the area. The price to be paid for the apples will be $170 per bushel in new baskets in carload lots. Farmers whe want to sell apples to the Production and Marketing administration ad-ministration must file application applicat-ion blanks with the county by Saturday. Only feasible solution to the apple marketing problem faced by growers here is the marketing market-ing of an extra bushel or two of the fine fruit to every Utah county home, and several organizations, organ-izations, including the Provo chamber of commerce, are spearheading spear-heading a campaign to start a buying spree on apples. It is pointed out that if every family in Utah would buy one bushel of apples, the entire Utah crop, of which Utah county erows found the defendant 'not guilty.' 70 percent, would be taken care Attorney PhilliD Christenson iOf. in years last Thursday when (Uarence R- Mathis of Provo appeared before the Orem Precinct Pre-cinct Court on a charge of driving driv-ing under the influence of alcohol. al-cohol.
