The Bruin defense held Timpview to 130 offensive yards, but the T-birds won the game 21-9. Bulldogs conquer Tigers 40-34 in grid contest By Cathe Owens The Provo Bulldogs took advantage advan-tage of some opening game Tiger er- rors Friday to outscore the Orem team 17-7 in the first quarter of play, then held on for a 40-34 pre-season win. An early Tiger fumble on the Provo Pro-vo 22 was recovered by the Bulldogs, and a march down field put Provo in scoring position on the Orem 13. The Tiger defense kept the Bulldogs at bay, and with a quarterback sack forced them to settle for a 30-yard Eric Lundquist field goal. Orem was quick to answer when Carter Rockwood took a Chatterly pitch from the Tiger 29, and sprinted through the Bulldog defense for a 71 yard touchdown. Kirk Conners kick was good for a 7-3 Tiger lead with just over four minutes remaining in the quarter. Provo was back on the board less than a minute later when Provo big man Hema Heimuli powered through three Tiger tackle attempts to dive over the line for a 20 yard touchdown with 3:42 remaining. Lundquist 's kick was good for a 10-7 Bulldog lead. On the next Tiger play, Chatter-ly's Chatter-ly's pass was intercepted, giving Provo Pro-vo 1-10 on the Orem 30. Heimuli earn By Cathe Owens Mountain View overpowered the Thunderbirds on the field, in fact, everywhere but on the scoreboard. With more yards passing, and more yards rushing, and more first downs, the 21-9 Timpview win doesn't reflect the Bruin efforts. Mountain View's Randy St. John rushed for 115 yards of the 230 yard Bruin offense, while Timpview earned only 130 yards total offense. Timpview hit paydirt first when Th'underbird Guy Trowbridge received the kick behind the ten yard line and broke through the Bruin defense for a 92-yard touchdown run. The PAT was good and Timpview jumped to a 7-0 lead with only 13 seconds off the clock. The Bruins returned the kickoff to GARAGE u. DOOR H Garage Doors And Openers All GARAGE DOORS 20 OFF!

The PAT gave the Bulldogs a healthy 17-7. A short Tiger drive ended with a long Vic Cram punt, and Provo set up another power drive starting from their own 47. The drive continued into in-to the second quarter, and ended with a 16-yard pass to Heimuli that he carried car-ried as he pranced over the goal line for a formidable 23-7 Bulldog lead. The Tigers put together a successful suc-cessful drive, adding a 15-yard face-mask face-mask penalty to a 30-yard pass to Brock Stoner for 1-10 on the Provo 35. Rowley carried the ball to scoring position on the Provo 4 and Chatterly ran the ball to paydirt. A conversion attempt failed, leaving the score at 23-13 with 7:35 in the half.' Later in the second quarter Orem recovered a Bulldog fumble, but a drive from their own 45 ended short when a 4-10 do-or-die pass dropped in the end zone. Provo took over on their own 27, and two plays later, with just two minutes left in the half, Lundquist snatched Wright's pass in the end zone for another Bulldog score. With Provo leading 30-13, the Tigers stayed in the game with Timpview thunders by Bruins 21-9 in pre-season football the 22 yard line, and started a drive with a nine-yard Jeff Porter run. On second se-cond and one, Randy St. John took a hand-off from quarterback Courtney Littledike and breaking through the T-bird T-bird defense sprinted the 69 yards for a Bruin score. Mountain View's PAT was no good and the score stood at 7-6 early in the first quarter. From that point on mistakes plagued the field, started by Timpview with a fumble recovered by Bruin Stan Pinegar on the T-bird 32. Mountain View moved the ball as far as the one yard line, but a cupping penalty sent the Bruins back to the 16, and they ended end-ed up with a 22-yard Dallen Carter field goal to take the lead at 9-7. A Bruin fumble on the snap was recovered by Timp deep in Bruin territory, ter-ritory, but the Bruin defense held the T-birds at bay with f ourtland-18 on the 20. With Timpview going for the first down, the Bruins broke through the line and sacked the quarterback, but a face-mask face-mask penalty on the sack was a crucial mistake, giving the T-birds new life with an extra down on the ten yard line. Quarterback Gary Trowbridge ran the ball in for a Timpview score. They added add-ed a two-point conversion for a 15-9 lead with just over three minutes remaining remain-ing in the half. The second half was defensive battle bat-tle and offensive struggle, as neither team scored until late in the fourth quarter when Timpview grabbed a loose Littledike fumble, and added a touchdown to the T-bird score. While the game was plagued with errors, most can be attributed to inexperience, inex-perience, and first-game jitters. The M Rowley's 89 yard kick-off return touchdown. Connors' kick trimmed the lead to 30-20 at the half. The lead was stretched again with an interception early in the third quarter. Wright scored on a keeper for a 37-20 Bulldog lead. A Tiger fumble on the kickoff set up the final Bulldog score. A 32-yard field goal capped off Provo's scoring, posting a 40-20 Bulldog lead. Orem charged late in the third quarter trimming the Provo lead with a Kirk Conners dive, and again with a four-yard Brian Rowley run for a 40-34 spread going into the final stanza. Orem threatened to take the lead in the fourth, set to pounce from the Provo 16, but Heimuli dashed the Tiger drive when he broke through the line to sack quarterback Ed Chatterly Chat-terly twice in the final Orem offensive drive.

Reflecting on tonight's game, Edwards Ed-wards said, "We are looking forward to our opening game with Pitt and we know it will be a tough one because they came on strong at the end of last season. Everyone will be ready in our Dove hunt reduced this year Dove hunters could be unpleasantly un-pleasantly surprised when the hunt opens this year. The bag limit has-been has-been reduced to 10. For the last five years, the bag limit was 15. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serivce (FWS) believes there has been a decline in dove populations in the western United States. Citation will be written writ-ten to hunters in possession of more than 10 doves. In Utah, the Division of Wildlife Resources is aware of the significant decline in the dove call-count index. The cause for the apparent decline consist of a loss of nesting habitat and agricultural changes that result in reduction of food sources. Depending upon cropping practices used by farmers, dove populations are generally thought to be positively associated by the amount of residual from wheat, barley, oats and corn harvests.

Utah's wheat production in six of the top 11 dove hunting counties has declined. Mortality factors such as disease, pesticides and overhunting on wintering areas may also be contributing con-tributing to the decline. Biologists are searching for methods to measure the extent of these possible problems. The FWS states that exact causes for declining dove populations have not been identified satisfactorily, satisfac-torily, but the only immediate management tool available is control of hunting regulations. The FWS recommended a five to 10 day delay in season opening or a two-thirds reduction in bag limits and season lengths. Instead, the Migratory Upland Game Bird Technical Committee agreed to, cut in season lengths and bag limits by V3 and Mt respectively.
