In previous pre-vious games American Fork has been unbeaten against the PI. Grove and Lehi teams, but both Lehi and P.G. have vowed that this will not be so after this year. If you think that the rivalry developed in high school between these teams has not carried over into bitter rivalries in Alumni games, you haven t seen them play. The contact is terrific. As a follower of many football games during the playing season, including in-cluding college, I have yet to see more explosive games than these staged by former footballers in the three cities. All proceeds from this contest con-test are used in the Utah Valley Football conference, and the three high schools are to be congratulated con-gratulated in allowing the use of equipment necessary to perform per-form in. All three high school coaches assist in the program for which players and officers are deeply grateful. Do not forget Saturday night for the best football you are likely to see anywhere. Saturday night at 7 p.m. in the American Fork Park, fireworks will explode as the two Alumni football teams representing Am. Fork and Lehi clash in the first of two contests. Coach Jerry Edwards promises prom-ises a tough football team featuring fea-turing former A.F.H.S. greats. A team Jerry said, that will be better than any Alumni team yet seen for A. F. Ron Peck, coach of the Lehi squad, when contacted said that Lehi will have their best team ever on the field in Alumni contests. con-tests. Jerry has many outstanding grads back to carry the A.F. colons for this game. At quarterback quarter-back will be Richard Merley along with Jerry himself. Running backs for A.F. will be Bob Wilson, Wil-son, Larry Searle, Jim and Bob Cuningham, Jim Moore is also expected to play. Linemen for the former Cavemen Cave-men team will be Steve Cunningham Cunning-ham Burdell Smith, Clint Wilson, Kent Gurney, Gerald Conder, Michael Larsen, Reed Chidester, Tom Dimmick, Bussie Manning, Marlin McKinney, Jim Adamson, Sheldon Wimmer, Davis Knight, and Steve Rasmussen. Other Alumni players have promised to be on hand and have been working out for this tough game. Ron Peck will run from an offense featuring former Lehi offensive of-fensive patterns. Players on hand with more also expected to turn out are Mike Smith, Keith Burn-ham, Burn-ham, Gary Cooper, Bruce Webb, Lance and Allen Gardner, Scott Whimpey, Jay Angus, Paul Robinson, Rob-inson, Ken Peck and Ben Wool-sey.

Lehi a Region Four choice to finish high in the final standings of the league, never lived up to their advanced billings as the Cavemen of coach Don Mower completely dominated the contest. con-test. Early in the first period, Stan Driggs, A.F. punter booted the ball to Jay Hardman, Lehi back, who was unable to find the handle of the ball. After several players had a chance to recover, Dee Strasburg finally nailed the ball for A.F. on the Lehi 31 yd line. John Tolman. A.F. fullback, cracked the line for three yards. Dee Strasburg, a great runner for the Cavemen Friday, picked up six more, than on a counter play, Dee went off tackle, reversed re-versed his field with nifty change of pace and scored for the Cavemen. Cave-men. Gordon Lyons on the PAT missed, but the higher than a kite A.F. team led 6-0. During the second quarter A. F. again received the ball following a stout display of defense against the Pioneers. In one exchange, Lehi was thrown for a 12 yard loss by Kim Strasburg, A. F. guard, a 10 yard loss by Max Mulliner A.F. tackle, and Jay Evans, Lehi quarterback was tossed for the big loss by John Tolman hard tackling A.F. fullback. full-back. Dee Strasburg gave the Cavemen Cave-men a golden scoring opportunity in the late stages of the second period, when with A.F. in possesion pos-sesion on their own 35, Dee on the same play that had scored earlier rambled forty yards to the Lehi 23 yd. line. Several trys carried the Cavemen down to the five, but a delay of game the 10 yard line. Gordon Lyons attempted a field goal, that could not have missed by much. Halftime saw the Cavemen still ahead 6-0. Another scoring attempt in the third quarter saw the Cavemen bog down and again Lyons narrowly nar-rowly missed from the Lehi 16 yard line oa the field goal attempt. at-tempt. Then the biggest break of the game for Lehi came when Brad Deveraux of Am. Fork found Steve Hallsey in the end zone on a pass play that was nullified nulli-fied by a penalty. Lehi could have really been in the hole. Then for the first time the strong defense of A.F. broke down with Lehi in a third quarter. quart-er. An Evans to Steve Smith pass for Lehi elided the A.F. defenders and Smith raced in to score. Beal failed to kick the extra point and the score was tied six each. American Fork defense then gave the Forkers the touchdown to get back into the lead, Greg Olsen, A.F. end, put the big rush on, as Evans attempted to pass, Olsen crashed Evans hard and the ball was grabbed in midair mid-air by Scott Smith A.F. linebacker. line-backer. Smith easily raced fifty yards for the score, Lynons PAT was perfect and the Cavemen led 13-6. Lehi got back into the game late in the fourth period, when an A.F. fumble was recovered on the 37 yard marker. Jay Evans three plays later tossed a perfect per-fect strike to Johnny Nielsen for the t.d. the play went for 37 yards. Dale Greenwood A.F. defender de-fender on the play got his hands on the bail but was unable to knock it down. Beal s book for the PA7' was good. American Fnrk gained a total of 228 yards, 175 rushing, 53 yards passing. Lehi's total offense of-fense was 61 yards, a minus 38 rushing, and 99 yards passing. The game was outstanding for an opener, it is doubtful if fans will see one better. It was a very hard game for the A.F. team to lose, and they felt they lost with the tie. Every player for the Cavemen had moments of fun as they played the Pioneers off their feet. Steve Alger, John Tolman, Greg Olsen, Max Mulliner, Greg Hadlock, Lee Allen, Scott Smith, Kim Strasburg, Craig McDaniel, Gordon Lyons, Stan Driggs, Steve Hallsey, Carl Adams, Harold and Darrell Wimmer and Dave Larsen Lar-sen all played exceptionally good ball. Coach DonMower used Brad Deveraux and Ken Hall at quarterback quart-erback on alternating plays, and I'm sure Mower Is very grateful grate-ful to have two such fine leaders. Home fans will get their first chance tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 13, to see this hard hitting team, when the Cavemen take on the Golden Tigers of Orem on the Forkers field at 3 p.m. Udell Westover, Orem coach apparently has another fine team at Orem as the Tigers buried the PI. Grove Vikings 41 to 7 in the opener. Orem is blessed by a host of fleet runners headed by Craig Crompton, and southpaw quarterback quart-erback Dave Affleek. Top linemen for the Tigers aie tackle Dale Johnson, end Dave Stanley and guard Rich Shumway. Orem, defending region champion, will he huge favorites in this game as usual, but I'll make a prediction, they will know they have been in a football foot-ball game before the final whistle blows. Coach Mower at the Cavemen school has instilled in the bunch that special something that it takes to be good. Against Lehi the team found out that they can play good hard football, and in the Orem game, this year's division winner could very well emerge. The winner of this game will have a toehold on first place and though a loss will not kill all hope, it will crimp the losers chances. tf K ii'i" k' . 0 LJjJ J Plcycr of the Week Scott Smith Named For "Star Award" After Lehi Game Last Friday SCOTT SMITH HONORED AS "PLAYER OF WEEK"--Scott Smith, second from left, American Fork High School football team co-captain, was named "Player of the Week" for his performance in the American Fork-Lehi game last Friday.

The Rams are are much improved and could be the sleeper in 'he league. At 10:15 a.m. the Lehi Giants pre-season favorite to capture league honors, play the A.F.
