Orem Meets Provo At Automaker BYU Stadium On Friday After working on precision preci-sion and continuity all week, the Golden Tigers of Oremhope to get onto the winning track again in the opening league game tomorrow night at 7:30 in the BYU Stadium against arch-rival Provo High. A crowd of around 10,000 is expected in the traditional battle bat-tle between the two schools and it's Provo's home game. A Junior Varsity game between bet-ween Orem and Provo will be played at Orem today at 3:30 p.m. Fans can well remember the exciting 12-7 come-from-behind victory the Tigers had last year, after suffering a lop-sided slaughter the year before. be-fore. Orem went ahead 6-0 last year which held for the first half. Then Provo came back and scored a TD and the extra point to go ahead 7-6. In the defensive play of the night, Scott Baird blocked a Vance Law punt and little defensive de-fensive back Richard Harward picked up the ball and scooted scoot-ed into the endzone for the victory. Coach Tom Molen feels that his line is much quicker but smaller than Provo's. The Bulldogs have one of the largest lar-gest lines in the state. However, How-ever, last week against Sky View's much smaller line, the Bulldogs came up on the short end of a 50-14 score. Provo lost the week before after outplaying out-playing Bonneville but losing on a last-second play. Provo's offensive key is quarterback Kevin Olsen, aided by fullback Doug Lyman who is improving each week. Olsen Ol-sen led the Junior Varsity to a perfect reord last year, but the Bulldogs have lost their first two games mainly from inexperience and returning only three players from last year's co-champions for Region P'our. Coach Molen rates Crowton the better of the two quarterbacks quarter-backs over Provo's Olsenand that should be a key to the game. However, when the two teams meet, almost anything can happen as witnessed last year. After the Orem game, Provo faces Kearns and Hillcrest--also considered region title contenders. Winner of tomorrow's tomor-row's game will have an inside in-side shot at the title. Owens, McKay To Attend f.Q.

Announces Price Cut Sharp price reductions in the entire line of a major foreign automaker were announced recently re-cently in Salt Lake City by representatives re-presentatives of Subaru of America. Am-erica. Cuts on the compacts range from 400 for the popular two-door two-door model to $300 for the four-door sedanand$200forthe Subaru station wagon. John Drew, United States western region spokesman fur the offshore off-shore automaker, cited President Presi-dent Gerald Ford's plea to work toward inflationary curbs as one major factor in making the announcement an-nouncement at the present time. Utah Subaru dealers in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, and Cedar Ctiy have been told by Mr. Drew: 'Lower prices should mean we can maintain higher production levels. However, How-ever, the new lower price levels will hold only through Dec. 10, at which time sales and production produc-tion figures will be reviewed to see if the slash in our prices can be maintained." Increased factory production and a rise in efficiency were cited as making the newly announced price cuts possible. Lead poisoning in ducks does not occur from shot which hits the ducks. Shot picked up by the bird and ground to powder in the gizzard is the cause. With six scoring threats failing fail-ing to produce a touchdown, the Orem High Tigers were up set 6-0 last Friday by a fired-up Pleasant Grove Viking team before be-fore a near-capacity crowd at Tiger Stadium. It was the first loss to the Vikings in many years, and the 3-A school is undoubtedly aniung the favorites to take the state championship this year. The Vikings had most of their team return from last year, having tied for the Region Six championship and then going into in-to the play-offs. Many of their players are also members of the state wrestling championship champion-ship team. The only score of the game came in the second quarter when 5-8 167-pound halfback by the name of Dale Wright ran a counter-play 49 yards for the touchdown. The PAT was missed mis-sed and the Vikings led 6-0. That scoring drive started on their own 40, with the TD run getting some fine blocking from a larger line than Orem's but apparently catching the Tiger defenses napping as Wright headed for the corner and outran out-ran the secondary. The Golden Tigers threatened threaten-ed several times but could never punch it across, much to the dismay of Tiger fans. Defensive Defen-sive back Larry Tucker recovered re-covered a Viking fumble on the visitor's 37-yard line in the first quarter, but the Tiger offensive of-fensive drive was stiffled by the tough Viking line. In the second quarter the Tigers moved the ball down to the Viking 27-yard line and it looked as though a scoring drive was going to be successful. suc-cessful. But two consecutive loses moved the ball back to Road Costs Climbing The cost of building roads in Utah is continuing to skyrocket upward, according to recent cost figures released by the Utah Highway Department. The Department's second quarter cost index of six key highway construction items is up 22.8 percent above the first quarter index for the year. Since the base years of 1966 to 1968, the index has increased 132 percent, with over half of the increase (68) occurring within the last six months. State Highway Engineer C.V. Anderson says the effects of inflation in-flation are being felt not only in the state's highway construction construc-tion and maintenance programs, but also in the street and road programs of cities and counties. He said the spiraling increase in costs could delay the completion comple-tion date of Utah's freeway system sys-tem considerably, unless federal fed-eral highway appropriations are increased. "We have had to reject several sev-eral bids fo construction contracts con-tracts recently, four in the last two weeks, because the costs were excessive. It wasn't the fault of the contractors, because be-cause they can't geta firm price on asphalt from their suppliers for use next summer," he said. Anderson said inflation is also creating problems with the department's maintenance and betterment projects. The department de-partment is allowed to spend up to $25,000 for such projects, without going through an involved in-volved bidding process. "It used to be that we could do quite a bit of work for $25,000, but now it won't buy much," he commented. the 40 and the Tigers punted. Key to that drive were a 14-yard run by quarterback Gary Crowton and a 12-yard pass play from Crowton totight end Lennon Ledbetter. Just before the half, Orem took over on their own 32, Crowton hit halfback Terry Gould for 21 yards, and a pass interference call put the Tigers Ti-gers on the Viking 32-yard line. A pass interception by Dale Gitlnun ended the threat there. The Tigers came out from hulftime fired up and mounted another threat to score. A poor piiiit after a few losses gave the Tigers the ball on the iking 49. Then Crowton ran for 20 yards to the Viking 23. Goold then packed the ball for two plays to the 14. A fumble fum-ble put the Tigers back to the 19 but a run moved the ball back to the 12. On the next play, the Tigers fumbled on the handoff to halt the drive. Going' in to the lourth quarter, quart-er, the Tigers moved the ball well again with Crowton hitting split end Val Itile three straight times for first downs, moving mov-ing the Tigers to the Vikings' 27-yard line. Ledbetter caught a five-yard pass to the 22. On fourth down and three yards to go, Crowton 's pass failed and the Vikings took over. The Tigers dug in for a great defensive effort and held the Vikings at the 20. A high snap from center was recovered by Orem on the 18-yard line and the Tigers had new hope. Crowton Crow-ton picked up seven yards to the 11, and on a big pass rush Kelly Duke intercepted. Orem made 11 first downs to the Vikings six for the game, getting 105 yards passing to five for the Vikings. Orem made 54 yards on the ground while the visitors picked up 150, 49 of which came on one play. Crowton, playing with two bad ankles and the flu, hit 10 of 26 passes for 39. Halfback Goold missed the second half with what was thought th-ought to be a broken wrist. But X-rays taken later showed it to be only bruised. Fullback Full-back John Ramage was also out the second half with a knee injury. Last Saturday the Viking sophomores defeated the Orem sophomores 19-12 at Pleasant Grove. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 w c UUOUOOOOOOOOOOOOOUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC!
