This is a tough game to figure really, as in a pre-season clash a couple of weeks ago, AF had a fairly east time over there winning win-ning 25-8. But could AF be over confident? Could SF be primed? The Dons looked great rolling over the Uintah Utes last week 25-7, but AF looked ever more impressive as they recorded a shutout and a 33-0 win over at Lehi. SF was led by Carl Gallegos at quarterback. Gallegos, a fine all-round athlete, was sharp last week. He passed well to Steve Boyack, and directed a very good ground game, with Dave Beck at tailback doing most of the heavy duty work. . -Two weeks ago, AF did not have much trouble at SF. Gallegos Galle-gos was r hed hard and did not have a lot of time to pass, but if AF is "down" it could be just the "break" SF needs, to make this game that much harder to figure. Last week it was not hard to figure. AF just plainly "overpowered" "over-powered" the Lehi Pioneers, and the "power" was supplied early by fullback Mike Miller as the Cavemen's big 200 pounder ran over Lehi defenders early in the game. Mike capped the first possession posses-sion by AF with a 20 yard blast right up the middle, and he "bowled" over tacklers on the way. The drive covered 80 yards in six plays with Mike doing the heavy work. Junior quarterback Ted Lewis provided AF with a badly Am. Fork Sophs Down Lehi 49-6 Lehi's sophomores scored in four plays on the opening series in the Lehi vs. American Fork soph game last week, but rather than help the Lehi cause, it seemed to "fire up" the AF team, and from that Lehi touchdown touch-down the Cavemen sophs scored the next four times they had the ball to turn the contest into a rout. David Nerdin scored four touchdowns himself, to lead the way, but with a halftime score of 49-6. AF coach Paul Kitchen more or less let the teammem-bers teammem-bers play what ever position they wanted and the game finished fini-shed at that score. Lehi's score was the first given up by the young footballers footbal-lers this year in three games. Today the AF Sophs travel over to test the Spanish Fork team at 7 p.m. It is the first road game for AF, but should not effect their play much, as the team gains in ability and confidence each game. WORK Lp, U. m Fri needed "extra" when he kicked the first of three straight PATS, to give AF an early 7-0 lead. Ted missed the last two tries but showed plenty of "footpower", and he will improve I'm sure. Miller, after an excellent return re-turn of a punt by Tony Anderson, Ander-son, scored again with a 4 yard blast off tackle to make the score 14-0. Tony's run, one of several he turned in on punt returns, went from the AF 10 tc the Lehi 26 and Miller pounded in for the td on two carries. After that score AF Coach Don Mowtr and "D" Coach Dave Knight let a "lot of people" peo-ple" play in the game, as the score remained 14-10 at the halftime. Halfback Jim Lamoreaux got on the scoreboards during the third quarter following blocked punt by linebacker Jeff Eastman, East-man, the ball was picked out of the air by Junior Tackle, Byron Mc Daniel, and McDaniel nearly had the td as he ran down to the 7 of Lehi before he was brought down, and Lamoreaux scored on the pitchout easily for a 21-0 AF lead. A fumble by AF gave Lehi a good scoring chance but "cool" Neal Christensen, AF defensive back, may have saved a score with good thinking. A teammate had gone off the field on the wrong side, when Neal saw he could not make it ever on the "right" side he called "time out" and saved a penalty, and seconds later Jeff Eastman intercepted in-tercepted a Lehi pass to douse the effort. From Eastman's interception AF drove for a td with Eastman going over from 3 yards out, and a good play by Robert Jensen, Mbs to kmrM fern Think of today's Army as the world's largest technical school and you'll realize why we have so many successful alumni.

Robert snapped the ball "early" when he saw a Lehi player offside, for a five yard pickup the easy way. With the game over for all purposes, Merlin Wilkinson fleet AF halfback pulled the "best" play of the day. On a counter handoff from Rick Thomas the Cavemen's fourth quarterback of the game, "Merly" raced 82 yards for a thrilling run as he outraced Chip Atkinson of Lehi for the td, and the final score of 33-0. Everyone on the Cavemen's team had a good ball game, and "heros" were numerous this game. Doug Mower, AF starting qb was sharp, Devro Sealy qb, looked good; Ted Lewis and Rick Thomas both saw qb duty and did a job. All of the backs had a big day, and the Linemen were exceptional as they held Lehi to minus rushing. Jeff In-gersoll In-gersoll and Wayne Pederson led AF ends to a good day also. Coaches Ingersoll, Knight and head coach Mower were pleased as "punch" over the game as everyone saw game time and performed very well. SF matches AF pretty well in size for tomorrow's game, which will be the Cavemen's first home game since the opener four weeks ago against Skyview. The Cavemen should get a win providing that they don't get caught "flatfooted." It has happened before. PI. Grove defeated a good Carbon team 30-6, and Payson and Springville battled to a 6 all tie in other league results. In addition to AF vs SF, PG is at Lehi, Payson at Uintah, Carbon Car-bon and Springville in tomorrows tomor-rows schedule. ProYO 377-5815 Bears Take Top Spot In Litfie League Play Alpine-Highland's Bears totk over the top spot in Little League football as a result of three rounds of play. Two wins last week over the Redskins of AF and the Lehi Packers have the Bears at 3-0 in League play, and with a win in the first game the Bears, coached by Ralph Burk have not allowed a score so far this year. The Bears are balanced with a good running game and a fine passer in Scott Rackman. Coupled with an excellent defense, the Bears will be hard to derail; Rackman, Brian Burk, Than Jones, Jason Carlton and Kaylan Street figured in both wins last week. PI. Grove's Vikings and Steelers won a pair also, to stay close in the running. The AF Colts and Redskins, along with the Lehi Packers have been in their games, but have had tough breaks as they lost a pair. Caveman Mike Miller "Player of the Week" goes to Mike Miller, the American Fork Cavemen's offensive fullback for his play last week in a 33-0 victory over eld rival Lehi. Mike is a "tough" runner, he runs close to the ground, with head lowered, he usually goes right up the middle. He is big and strong at 6T 200 pounds, so Lehi had "more" than they wanted in hauling down the "big guy". Mike had good "stats." He carried 13 times, rushing running run-ning for 95 yards, for a 7.3 yards per try average, and he scored the Cavemen's first two touchdowns. All of this in a little more than one quarter of playing play-ing time. Not bad "stats" for that much game time is it? Mike is hampered some with an injury. The injury keep&fjn out of defensive play, but fV Is getting well and that spells "bad luck" to League foes. Mike is a strong middle linebacker on "D" for AF and he is "ready", with a shoulder that is about mended. Mike is a typical ball, carrier in that he praised his line for the big holes he had to run through. Mike is the second son of an all boy family of Paul and Shirley Shir-ley Miller. Bryan, and two future fu-ture Cavemen players, 14 year old Doug and 12 year old Mark. All of the boys have played in the little league programs, with Mike playing football for Coach Bob Wilson in the football program. pro-gram. Mike, who wears number 34, plans to attend College, but would like to be "good enough" to earn a scholarship. He is still undecided on a career, but enjoys en-joys many activities. In school he earns a 3.25 average ave-rage grade, with English by Venda Castleberry among his favorite studies. He was Class President as a sophomore. He was King with Queen Bari Cor-mani Cor-mani at the Snow Carnival last year. He is in his fourth year of Seminary, and is a Priest in the Another team that bears watching watch-ing are the Lehi Giants that defeated the Colts 26-0 Saturday. Satur-day.

The September 22 schedule finds Giants vs. Steelers at 9 a.m., 10:15 pits Vikings and Packers. Colts vs. Bears at 11:30 is a top game, and 12:45 matches Eagles and Redskins.
