By Janice Nelson Shattered hopes but not shattered spirits resulted last Friday in a neck-and-neck contest when the Orem Tigers fell to the Bonneville Lakers 28-21 in the first round of the state 4A football playoffs. Af fViA noma K o 1 f irv a vnt go in t noiA-biiiiv entertainment included a group of Lakers tearing apart a stuffed tiger on the Bonneville field. Of course, Orem fans couldn't be degrated like that. Thus, defending heroes trotted out to halt the mini-massacre. mini-massacre. The Tigers proceeded to pick up pieces and mend things. True, they also meant to say, "Hey, we're not going to let you trample overus." But before enough repairs were , made to justify iothej, damage, j Bonneville's principal had all the fellows return to their respective sides. Therefore, in the half-time quest for dominance, Bonneville had the edge. Ironically, the half-time incident parallels the actual football game. The Lakers made a total of four touchdowns. And each time the Lakers tore at the Tigers by scoring, Orem trotted out right after and mending things by evening up. And each time the Tigers seemed to say, "Hey, we're not going to let your trample overus." After Bonneville's fourth touchdown the score was 28-21. Orem again went out to make repairs with 4:18 left in the game. Steadily the Tigers marched down the field with Ryan Beckstead, Steve Frame, and Kevin Higley gaining the yards. With under 30 seconds to play Jeff Marchant took the ball to the Bonneville 10, only to have it taken back to the 30 by a holding penalty. Two passing attempts in the endzone were barely missed. The game ended before Orem could even up and justify the damage. Each team went home to their respective places, but Bonneville had the edge. ' The two teams were well matched; the game proved that. Even so, it wasn't a surprise. It was a game of one region champion against another, something that usually isn't done in the first round of the playoffs. ii NEWELL TAYSOM Manager ft HEAVY DUTY 2CT60 Manufactured by iaysoni mere And Muffler 651 North State Street, Orem 225-6343 "Where Service Is King" " $ " r.

(Photo by Brent Harris) Because Orem was seeded third in the drawing with co-champions Alta and Mountain View the Tigers didn't get to play a lower ranked team in the first rounds, which is usually a benefit for the region champions. But the Tigers don't need excuses for their loss; they played like a number one team. Yes, they lost but not because Bonneville was better. The game saw two good teams playing against each other, but there can only be one winner. Before the second half the most exciting action was the half time rivalry. In contrast, the last half was thoroughly tense. Bonneville's last three touchdowns came then and were made by a bulldozer named Jason Wood.

X had an uncanny way of blazing through defenders. Two of those touchdowns saw Wood score on pass plays of 66 and 55 yards. All of Orem's touchdowns came as a result of long consistent drives of 78, 75, and 74 yards. In the second quarter, Marchant caught a pass on the one and Quarterback Ryan Beckstead crossed the line. The second scoring came in the third when running back Mike Buckner made a wide sweep and took it in for 10 yards. The last touchdown came after Frame and Beckstead whisked down the field. Beckstead rammed through from the five and scored. The Orem Tigers were just as aweseome as they've been all year. Sure they lost, but, hey, they certainly didn't let those Lakers trample over them. October Weather Above Normal With 19 days of 70 degrees or higher temperature, the average high for the month of October was exactly normal, but the month was half as wet and almost 10 degrees warmer than October 1984. David James, weather specialist and part-time instructor in geography at Brigham Young University, said measurements at the BYU-Provo Weather Station showed the average high for October at 68 degrees-exactly degrees-exactly normal. The average low for the month was 38.7 degrees, compared com-pared with the normal of 35.1 degrees. Two storms dumped a total of 2.39 inches of precipitation in October, which is 163 percent of the normal 1.45 inches. October was the first month of the new water year. "These storms continued a pattern pat-tern seen in the area for the past seven months when two major storms brought in most of the precipitation for each of those months," James said. "A storm on the 7th brought 1.23 inches, while the one on the 22nd had .72 inches, including one inch of snow. Normal snowfall for October is one-half one-half inch." For the calendar year, a total of 17.49 inches of precipitation has been recorded, which is 140 percent of the normal 12.46 inches. Bruin Back Jason Jensen falls forward to pick up more The Bruins beat the Roy Lions 42-14. ( V" y r,.; , " - " ' . . - , . , - , " ' 7 . i , . , - - . The Bruins relied heavily on running back Jason Jensen to carry the ball. Jason evaded defenders for large gains during Friday's state playoff game. Bruins By Aaron Campbell Mountain View Bruins outran, outscored and outpassed the Roy Royal Lions last Friday. The Bruins came out to beat Roy 42-17. At the beginning of the game, Mt. View kicked off to the Royals. Truman Child's kick went far into the end zone. Roy almost lost the ball on second down. The Lions gained no yardage and punted on fourth down. After Chris Cooper rant it for 14 yards, a pass to Matt Odle from Kyle Roberts put Mt. View ahead 6-0. Child's kick made it 7-0. Another kick into the end zone put Roy on the 20. On first and 10, Trent Allsop recovered a fumble to put Mt. View in scoring position again. After two and a half minutes ticked off the clock, a short pass over the middle to Tom Andrus resulted in another touchdown. Are You Polluting Your Own Home? It does seem that you can't win. As if air and water pollution weren't enough to keep you awake at night, the place where you are awake at night may also be polluted. In our efforts to batten down the hatches of our homes with better insulating techniques, we are keeping more inside than just the cool and warm air. Recent studies have found that the air inside some super insulated homes may be more of a pollution hazard than the air outside the home. The government does its best to enforce outdoor pollution standards and some rules are enforced for public buildings, but no such standards exist for individual homes. Of the most frequently cited indoor pollutants, some are naturally occurring and others we bring upon ourselves: Household Chemicals: Many of the things we use to keep our homes clean, actually pollute our homes' air. The average home contains 45 aerosol cans. These sprays disperse their contents in tiny droplets that often linger in the air. Some aerosol chemicals and the propellants used in the cans contain substances thought to be carcinogenic. Until more is discovered about the long-term effects, the prudent thing to do is to buy pump rather than aerosol sprays when available and use sprays outside or near a window whenever possible. Radon: Thought to be associated with lung cancer, radon is a naturally occurring gas that filters from underground, It is odorless, colorless and can be found in varying amounts Orem-Geneva Times: 1 Again, a fumble by the Lions resulted in another TD. This time the fumble was recovered by Kyle Roberts and Chris Cooper ran 4 yards to the end zone. Child's kicked was good for the third time. With the Bruins ahead 21-0 and 5:24 left in quarter, the Royal Lions started to get their team heading in the right dirction. With only a few seconds left, Roy scored with a short pass to Opheikens from Harris. Early in the second quarter the Bruins scored again. Matt Odle really real-ly showed his potential by running 80 yards for Mt. View's fourth TD of the game. Child's kick was good again. Three minutes later, another long run resulted in a TD but this time it was Roy's points. The score was 28-14, Mt. View's favor. The Royal Lions recovered a nearly everywhere in the world. Although it usually disperses into the atmosphere, some houses can trap the gas and expose those living there to higher than normal concentrates. Radon levels can vary greatly from house to house depending on the type of construction and the texture of the soil beneath the house. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently conducting a Defeat A Sporting Comment . . By Steve Allred For years past, the biggest complaint against the Western Athletic Conference was that competition was the lowest and the teams were the worst in the nation. Sure, even when BYU shined, the rest of the conference was poked fun at. This year is completely different. BYU still takes much of the credit but now some new teams are whisking away the limelight. Air Force first comes to mind with its strong running game and superb running quarterback Weiss. The Falcons played well last year and are on their way to an undefeated season this year. The Utes have also been exercising their right for being in the top of the WAC race. Although they lost to the Falcons, Utah is looking for one of their best seasons ever. Under their new head coach Jim Fassel, the Utes have made good impressions on the WAC's credibility and are hoping for an invitation for a post-season bowlgame. Thursday, November 7, 1985 than 15 yards on this carry. Alf.tri v . Roy 42-14 fumble that Mt. View dropped. They punted, only to have Mt. View score again. This time Kevin Broderick ran 5 yards in the end zone. At half, the score was 35-14. The Bruins last touchdown was when Broderick ran 37 yards to find nothing but blue skies ahead of him. Roy failed to score more than once. This was when King made a 41-yard field goal. The final score, again, was 42-17. Now, the Bruins would have the toughest competition in the state; Davis Darts. Bruins Coach Austin McNaughton said, "We weren't overlooking them....Davis only beat them 21-14. We made it to Rice Stadium." An understatement by McNaughton. The game will begin at 12:30 this Friday. national survey to determine what areas of the country are especially susceptible to high levels of radon build-up. Formaldehyde: A few years ago formaldehyde was commonly used in urea-formaldehyde foam insulation. Gases from some types of the foam were found to cause eye and respiratory irritation. San Diego State, UTEP and Hawaii have been tough but their records have been disappointing. San Diego started the season well by having their quarterback rated as number one in several categories. UTEP also played well against some strong powerhouse teams but their record was again disappointing. Their one and only win against the BYU Cougars was unbelievable but as they told the press before that game, "This is our bowl game ! " And now on to the Cougars. It has been many years since the Cougars have succumbed to a losing season. Credit is and should be issued to the head coach and staff. Coach Edward and his staff through the years have evolved the passing game that has made them so successful. I have heard many teams explain that they have converted to the "BYU passing offense." This passing game is the key to the excitement and popularity that BYU experiences. The rest of the nation now knows that the WAC has come to reign. I t.. |
