SPANISH' FORK DONS W LINCOLN TIGERS By DONALD MARUMOTO The homecoming jinx still held as Lincoln met defeat, at the hands of the Spanish Fork Dons. The"gair,3 was played in a continuous con-tinuous downpour of rain which didn't seem to bother the attack of Spanish Fork. The first quarter was played without either team threatening but in the second quarter Lincoln showed its running attack with Verlin Nicholes packing the ball. With the ball resting on Spanish Span-ish Fork's 35 yd. line. Nicholes on a spinner ran down to the 1 yd. line before being hauled down by a group of tacklers. On the next play he scored on a line plunge. The try for the extra point was missed when , the ball was fumbled. Lincoln seemed " to be on it's way to victory but on the first play after the kickoff, Spanish Fork pulled a sleeper, which caught Lincoln's defense napping.-The extra point was good on a -quarterback sneak by Swenson, The teams settled down and played on even terms until late in the third quarter when Span lsh made another touchdown. The TJJ. came after a 13 yd. penalty against Lincoln and two com pl:tc passes by Swenson. The extra point was also good by an other. Swenson Pass. , The game then eased down without either team showing any kind oTan offense that threatened to score. The game ended with the two teams see-sawing back TIGERDOM ' With v LEON KENNEDY 'Si. s .,J m Up until now the Lincoln Tl gers have had their share of bad luck for this season, but even though our team isn't rated num ber one by the critics of this area, we at Lincoln still feel we have reason enough to be proud of ouf team. Everyone knows that the whole team can't play all the time. Someone always has to be in re serve. But it's just as true that the boys on the bench deserve equal credit along side the first string players, or sometimes more, de pending upon circumstances. It and forth on the fifty yard fine. I Verlin Nicholes who wa uolng most of the ball toting for the Tigers, played a bang up game. He was not" only packing the leather but his tackling was deadly. Other standouts for Liin- coln were Jan Peterson, one of often requires more courage to be a substitute than it does to be a regular. Not that we want to discredit the other players, but all players deserve equal mention. There is a group of fellows who deserve special mention this week. These are the seniors on this year's football team, who are: Kenneth Marshall and Nor-: man Rowley, co-captains; Richard Beatty, David Brandt, Clifford Ferguson, Mont Ford, Robert Gourdin, Kay Long, Keith Mason, Blair Muhlestein, Claude Rowley, Bob Spears, Kenneth Tobler, Garth Ungerman and Jerry York. These boys will be playing their last game for Lincoln this week. For many this will be the end of football as far as participating is concerned. On the other hand, there will be some who will go on to college football and perhaps even to a job of coaching. But, leaving their futures to them the most improved footballers on the squad, Ray Chynoweth, selves and fate, we wish them lots David Brand V Gary Littlefield, Jerry York, Norman Rowley, Monte Ford and Kay Long. Evan Harding,- regular fullback, was out of the game because of an injury. For the Dona it was the combination com-bination of the fleet-footed Mig-llaccio, Mig-llaccio, Paul Huff and Swensen that spelled th Tigers downfall. of luck in the coming years. The juniors on this year's team will, of course, be the big guns of next year s squad. They are the ones who carry all the hopes of a bigger and better football season to come. Alot of exper ience has been gained this year by these, boys, and Lincoln Is sure they won't start off next LEW, LINCOLN TANGLE IN SEASON'S FINAL Friday will end the '53 football season for the Lincoln High school figers. The concluding game will be played at Lehi, at the usual time of 3 p.m. Lehi is favored heavily over the Tigers, and it's no wonder. With only one win to their credit it is a pretty gloomy Lincoln team that will take the field against the Pion eers for their last try for the taste of victory. It certainly has been a surpris ing season for the Tigers, the team that was favored as tops in this region. It can't really be ex plained what happened to our team, but we know it wasn't because be-cause we lacked the power, or the teamwork. Perhaps the first few losses were due to bad breaks and from there on out it was just lack of. spirit and determination. But be that what it may, this week's game could be the turning ef the tide. Let's hope so. Lincoln Is expected to do much substituting this week, this being the last game, and since it won't make any difference, win or lose. It's likely that coaches Zimmer man and Brlggs will give more of the boys a chance to play. It could be that without all the strain and tension the players will show what they" really can do. year with a green squad as they have done for two years now. Also the Tigers have two up and coming young sophomores who are expected to do big things next season. ' ' ' Laramie, Wyo., Oct. 28 Though Saturday's grid battle here in Memorial Stadium against Brigham Young University is Wyoming's Homecoming, Coach Dickens and staff will be fight ing against a possible letdown against the pesky Cougars. The Pokes have been way u for their last two games against Iowa and Utah and after Satur day's narrow 13-12 loss at the hands of the Redskins a tame which could have meant the title for the Cowboys a mental drop ean be considered quite natural. Expected though it be, how ever, the Wyoming eleven cannot afford any kind of letdown a-gainst a-gainst BYU. Just two years ago the Cougars came to Laramie as a decided underdog and spoiled the Cowboys' Homecoming in a 20-20 tie game and knocked the Pokes out of the Skyline throne room. A similar situation might shape up here Saturday. Dickens and his squad were bitterly disappointed about last Saturday's final score in which failure of both Cowboy conversion conver-sion trys may have cost Wyoming Wyom-ing the conference championship. Even a tie with the Utes would have given the Pokes the bunting bunt-ing provided they could , win their remaining loop encounters since Utah plays two less conference confer-ence opponents and coulu not match Wyoming's percentage should both clubs go unbeaten. Dickens had nothing but praise for his team's performance and paid tribute likewise to the Utah team. He announced also that the Cowboy squad had emerged from the bruising battle on the rain ASTHMA COUGHS Don't let difficult breathing, coaching and vheextag, due to recurring tpjcmj o?

American Fork Battle Ends in 7-7 Tie The Lincoln Sophs battled American Am-erican Fork to a 7-7 tie in a game played on the Lincoln field. Lincoln scored 'first when a pass from Walter Bandley to Gary Keetch payed off. -. Jack Sumner plunged over for the extra point. American Fork scored in the second half when Preston went from the 45 yard line and scored standing up. Preston scored the extra point on a quarterback sneak. ' s .
