Show .Hivo Fumbles Weir is liicis me In an emotion-filled game from start to finish, the Orem High School Tigers lost a crucial Region Two game to Brighton, 7-6, Friday afternoon on a windswept wind-swept field even though they outplayed out-played the Bengals in every category cate-gory but the score. Two fumbles at the one and nine yard lines by Tiger backs pre- vented the game from going Orem's way... almost typical of i their luck that day and typical . of the luck of the Bengals. The Tigers had 132 yards I rushing and 53 passing for a total of 185 in offense, while holding 1 the touted Bengal offense to less I than 90 yards-58 rushing and i 31 passing. ( "We spent so much time tell- ing our players not to retaliate to the Bengals intimidation dur- f ing the first half that our players f didn't concentrate on the game p as much as they should have," f observed Coach Tom Molen. "But, generally speaking, the referees did a commendable job f on keeping the flagrant violations!, under control." f Coach Molen is referring tof number of major penalities! against Brighton during the game totalling 90 yards. It f should have been more than thatf but some 15-yard penalities were half the distance to the goal line.f In the first seven minutes, the Bengals had two holding penali-1 ties, then another one called just before the quarter ended. A pass interference penalty on Brighton at the 19-yard line closed the first quarter. With 1:06 left in that first quarter, Brignton scored on a pitchout to Matt Seeman from the three-yard line. The PAT was good and the score 7-0. The score was set up on a high snap from center with Orem on the Brighton 47 with fourth down and four to go. The ball sailed over kicker Steve Payne's head. By the time he recovered it and downed it without a chance to kick, the ball was downed at the Orem 32... and the Bengals moved in for the score. On the ensuing kickoff, tailback Chad Robbins returned the ball 29 yards to the Brighton 49, then the holding penalty on the hosts moved it to the 35 with just 27 seconds on the first quarter clock. A pass interference play against the Bengals moved the ball to the 19 to end the quarter. Robbins gained five, but a latteral lost five on the second down. Russ Ferguson plunged up the middle for eight yards to the 11-yard line on third down, Then with fourth down and two to go, Robbins made the first down but the ball was stripped from his hand andrecovered by Brighton on the nine with 9:54 left in the first half. The Bengals moved the ball out on a punt after the Tiger defense held at the two-yard line. The Tiger drive was thwarted at the Brighton 37 with an interception. Orem's defense again held to force a punt, then Brighton turned the tables on the Tigers who minted tn the 15. ATTENTION ELK HUNTER EEk Quarter Begs Closure.

Dave Larsen gained six, then the Bengals were penalized penal-ized for a personal foul, giving Orem a first downat the Brighton 16. Ferguson and 1 Robbins each gained two yard, then a pass to Mark Poulos picked up four. On fourth down with two to go at the six-yard line, Ferguson plunged up the middle and fumbled at the six-inch line after making the first down. A Brighton player in the endzone kept the ball from going in, putting it on the six-inch line. Again the Tiger defense held, forcing a punt. Orem took over at the 34 with 2:02 left in the third quarter. Larsen made a great one-handed catch for six and the Tigers made a first !;;?'s Ha Fairbanks going to the left, as the quarterback was falling, he latteraled a dribbling ball to Ferguson who scooted around the end for the points. But a referee said that the points would not count because he blew the ball dead when Fairbanks' knee hit the ground. Films of the game show that the knee did not hit the gournd. The Tiger defense again held the Bengals, forcing a punt that went from the seven. The Orem took over on the 37 with 6:37 left in the game. On second and eight to go, Fairbanks kept the ball and scooted to the 28 for a first down. Two short losses, an incomplete incom-plete pass, and a fourth down holding penalty on Orem gave Brighton the ball on the 17 with 3:21 left in the game. A second down pass took the Bengals to the Orem 48, but the Tigers defenses held. The punt by Rusty Campbell was ruled out at the one-yard line, but game films showed it went across the corner of the endzone with 46 seconds in the game. On first down at the one, Fairbanks Fair-banks dropped back into the end-zone end-zone to pass. It went high over the head of the intended receiver and Terrill Barnes intercepted and ran the ball back to the two-yard line with 36 seconds on the clock. On first down Dent was stopped for no gain. Brighton called a time out with eight seconds to go in the game and the ball on the two for second down. . Dent again hit the line but lost a half yard. Brighton called another time out. On third and two, Dent again hit the line for a two-yard loss to the four. Brighton called time out with two seconds on the clock. On fourth down, Dent again hit the middle but was snowed under by a tough Orem defense. As Dent was downed by a host of tacklers, game films showed that a shove in the back by a Brighton player started a melee that involved players and coaches and even some fans. The same Bengal player went around the crowd and kicked an Orem running back in the groin. Tempers flared but referees and coaches separated the teams. "It's unfortunate that a team would still attempt a score in the last eight seconds after already al-ready having the ballgame won," observed Coach Molen. "And there seemed to be a slow clock official when a team could get off second and third down running plays in a matter of just six seconds. That's the most flagrant thing I've seen in years." Observers, of course, knew that Orem dominated the game in statistics and play. The poor sports marehip exhibited by the numerous fouls by Brighton, the clock operation and time outs to attempt a score, plus the fight after the game can't do anything to help Region Two or the reputation of the Bengals. Robbins for the game had 111 yards rushing out of the 132 by Orem for one of his best days on record. National (I Day Sot S yHflU Saturday, September 24, is National Hunting andFishingDay. It is the one day each year set aside to recognize the contributions contribu-tions of the hunting and fishing sportsmen to conservation and propagation of wildlife and the associated habitatwildlife demands. de-mands. Consider the following: Hunters and fishermen pay nearly $300 million a year for licenses and permits to hunt and fish. In many cases, these are fees that sportsmen requested themselves in an effort to raise money for conservation. In the last 50 years, these funds have provided some $4 billion for wildlife conservation. Sportsmen provide over $81 million each year through payment pay-ment of excise taxes on sporting arms and ammunition, fishing tackle and archery equipment. Sportsmen backed the passage of these taxes some 40 years ago and have even supported efforts to increase them in recent years. Hunters provide an additional $11 million eacy year through purchases of duck stamps which are required for the hunting of waterfowl. Purchases of duck stamps have provided some $165 million for waterfowl conservation conserva-tion in the last 40 years. In addition to all the funding mentioned above, hunter and fishermen spend an estimated $150 million a year to improve fish and wildlife habitat on private pri-vate lands.
