CAVEMEN STARTERSBasketball Coach Roy Pehrson, kneeling at right of picture, poses with his starting five, 1. to r., Ken Hall, Greg Olson, Max Mulliner, Ken Burgess, Dennis Beck, and Bruce Hoggard. Pre-league action is now underway with league hoop action to begin in January. Cavemen Win Two Pre-Season Basketball Tilts Am. Fork's basketball team opened the season over the past week with three games against top teams from around the state. In the opener played on the Cavemen's floor, Am. Fork overcame over-came a stubborn Judge team 73 to 64. The game was very typical typ-ical of an opener, featuring rag-g3 rag-g3 J play a lot of the time. Judge Jumped out to a 9-1 lead in the early going before Am. Fork tied the game at 10-10 on a jumper by Dennis Beck. From then on until mid-way through the final quarter, when Greg Olsen started to hit from the corner, the game was In doubt as to the outcome. Judge has the type of personnel to make any team look bad. They were not overly tall but were quite muscular boys with excellent excel-lent speed and on occasions Am. Fork looked very bad on defense. Quarter1 scores' had Judge ahead at the first break 19-18. At the half Am. Fork had a 37-31 37-31 bulge only to see Judge creep up to within one point at the end of the third period, 50-49. In the final period Caveman Greg Olsen, with an excellent hustle and deadly outside shooting, shoot-ing, came in off the bench to shoot the Forkers into a ten point lead. Olsen looked very good, as did Bruce Huggard, a true jumping Jack with fine shooting and a steady floor game. Ken Hall, from his guard position kept the Cavemen Cave-men in the game during the early quarters and turned in several good plays. Brad Deveraux getting get-ting his first taste of Varsity play spelled Hall and looked very good. Ken Burgess, Max Mulliner Mulli-ner and Dennis Beck were not at their best for this game but their combined rebounding played play-ed a very Important part in the final outcome. Barber of Judge took scoring honors with 22 points followed by Olsen of Am. Fork with 21. Huggard Hug-gard had 16, Deveraux, nine, Hall, eight, Burgess and Beck each tanked seven, and Mulliner scored five. Am. Fork scored 29 field goals and 15 out of 23 from the foul line. Judge hit 23 goals and 18 out of 26 from the line. Jordan, Am. Fork's second opponent, op-ponent, went down by a nearly identical score 71-64. Jordan has been picked by many to be a tough team, and they are. They gave the Cavemen a rugged time of It until the final period when the Forkers hitting on all five cylinders were able to forge a lead and then make the Beetdig- Light-hearted 10LTDDW ty Mjh so easy to give! By John Roberts gers foul in an attempt to get the ball. In a nip and tuck contest through the first three quarters, the game was in doubt when the final quarter quar-ter started. Quarter scores showed Jordan ahead 14-13 at the end of the first, Am. Fork 35-33 at the half, and Jordan regained the bulge at the end of the third, 54-49. Am. Fork with Beck, Mulliner, Huggard, Burgess and Hall in the game went ahead 55-54 then stretched it to 58-54 on foul shooting by Mulliner. Beck and Burgess hit on a goal apiece and for the first time Am. Fork fans breathed a little easier. This contest was a rugged affair af-fair and at times the play was tough on the officials who made a few mistakes to go along with the teams. Am. Fork who through seven periods of play against Judge and Jordan had not shown too much strong defense, can give the defense de-fense credit for the Jordan win with a good defense in the final period. The team is beginning to show sings of Jelling, and If they can score 70-p?us points per game and look b d imagine what they will do when they put their game together. Bruce Huggard, fine shooting forward with springs in his legs, led scoring with 20 points and Coach Roy Pehrson was tickled with the results as five players were in double figures for good team scoring balance. Dennis Beck canned 13, Max Mulliner, 12; Olsen and Burgess each 11; Ken Hall, two; Scott Turner, two; and Brad Deveraux played well but did not score. Skoubye and Kunz kept Jordan close with 14 points each. Highland was the Caveman's third opponent in four days, and behind a mistake causing press the Rams downed the Cavemen 95-82 in a high scoring contest before a good sized crowd. Am. Fork jumped out to a 10-5 lead only to have the Rams start their excellent press against the Am. Fork club and by the end of the first period had a 24-18 bulge. The half ended 52-34 faVor of the Rams, and then during the third and final period Am. Fork adjusted adjust-ed quite well to the press and came within several points some times. Mistakes were partly to blame for the Cavemen loss but kid by the name of Bryan George shot completely out of this world as he tanked 41 points in a wild offensive display of shooting, he was aided by Blaine Smith's 21. Mark it down, if and when these two teams play again, that will be some contest, because I believe that Coach Roy Pehrson has the players to handle that press, as the Cave team displayed during suwir brook oismunr co.. cincimmti.

Next Wednesday, Clearfield's Falcons will test the Cavemen here. With an excellent showing to date, many eyebrows have been raised, and it's very apparent to see that this club is going to win many more victories this year. American Fork's J.V. squad impresses everyone with their determined play. The J.V.'s racked up three victories with scores of 62-54 over Judge, 81-55 81-55 over Jordan, and 74-57 over Highland. blended whiskey 86 moot. 6b cum mmi spirits r t LJ fm TO yv V Dennis Meet the Cavemen Dennis Gauger Gains Spotlight "Meet the Cavemen" a new series to better acquaint the followers fol-lowers of Cavemen basketball, with the players making up the team. Each week the Citizen will select se-lect a member of the Varsity team in a featured article. Dennis Gauger is the first team member to be spotlighted. Dennis is a fine all-around athlete ath-lete at the high school, and is playing his second year of basketball, bas-ketball, having been a member of the sophomore squad last year. Dennis will work from a guard position in Coach Roy Pehrson's complicated offense, and it is to the guard where most of the patterns pat-terns start from. Dennis fills the bill very well, he Is fast of foot, dribbles well, is a good outside shooter, hustles very hard, and is a fine leader. The son of Paul andMarcelene Gauger, he is a very good student with chemistry being his favorite. Active in the LDS Church, he recently received his Duty to God Award. A very good football player, Dennis ran from the fullback spot Gauger on the football team this past season, and was an exceptional defensive player. There were many games in which he made or was in on fifteen or more tackles from a linebacker spot. Watch for him next year In football. foot-ball. Dennis, about five foot ten inches inch-es tall, is also an all-around track performer with the broad jump his specialty. During the first three J.V. games Dennis handled himself in very good fashion, playing well and even making several key rebounds. His hope is to get into some of the varsity games. Dennis expressed himself when he said, if the Cavemen keep hustling each game he thinks Am. Fork will have an excellent season. Caveman fans who enjoy watching watch-ing determination in action will really enjoy this likable young man as he performs for the Cavemen Cave-men this season. 1k Old 1ims "Before offering a seat to a girl be sure she is!"

During recent years, the air conditioning requirements of our customers have added substantially to the summer sum-mer load on our system. This, coupled with increasing irrigation pumping, has changed our "system peak" from winter to summer. Now, our company's combined maximum customer requirements (which is known as "loud") occurs in summer, instead of w inter, and this trend will mean more and more generating capacity available for other uses in the winter if it continues. We have developed a new rate schedule to put this capacity, to work . . . we must change to adapt to changes in the pattern of our customers' use of electricity.
