Show spoRnnfi ev V Cavemen Continue League Lead With Win Over P. G. 27-0 Region Four football has developed de-veloped into a three team race in Class AA while Payson is a qualifier in Class A. American Fork with a 27-0 win over Pleasant Grov last week leads the League with six wins, one loss. Orem and Spanish Span-ish Fork are right at their heels with five wins, lone loss, and one tie, and with just today's game and next week's being the final round, anything can happen. Payson could be a very big figure in resolving the final standings. Today the Lions test Sp. Fork at Payson in a very big game, and Payson in the State finals haj a record identical with S. F. and Orem. If the Lions win over Sp. Fork, Am. Fork and Orem are in good position po-sition but next week the Lions come to town to take on the Cavemen in the game that could decide the Region four titlist. A. F. travels to Price today to play the Dinos in a 1:30 p.m. starting time game, and the "Big Red" will be the favorite to stop the Dinos, setting the stage for the final round next week. The Cavemen last week relied once more on a strong defense to win over the Vikings, with the offense having troubles hit ting on all 11 gears for the most part, the Cavemen Defense set up three scoring chances. Early in the first period A.F started from their own 48 and in five plays scored. The final 22 yards covered by David Dur- fey on the reverse with Dean Sabey A. F. end throwing crunching block to spring Durfey. Kirk McDaniel booted the first of three PATS After that drive the offense, made many mistakes, fumbles, and miscues of all kinds stopped any more sustained drives. During the third period however how-ever the Cavemen took the ball over The Goal, but not until three broken plays on miscues did the job. Bruce Bowen A.F. quarterback scored and threw a key pass to Blake Buhler during dur-ing this march. P.G. elected to pass on first down and before you knew it Dennis Parker A. F. linebacker picked off the pigskin and ran 27 yards for the score. Durfey moments later again intercepted a P G. pass and the Cavemen Sophs Blitz Sp. Fork Dons by 47-14 Score Spanish Fork sophomores, supposedly a tough outfit, was no match for the Sophs from A. F. as the Caveman blitzed the Dons 47-14. Up front for the A. F. team, coach Don Mower has a real tough tigei. bunch in the likes of Jim Dean, Paul Sagers, Sandy Nicholes, Mark Hales, Tim Hall, Alan Cooper, SherlinManning and Max Strasburg, and these players play-ers on offense open huge holes for a host of fleet Cavemen backs. Gavin Christen started A. F. scoring when he went 56 yards on a trap play with nary a hand laid on him so good was the team blocking. Another well executed lay, the screen pass from John Varney A. F. quarterback to Mark Fowler Fow-ler made the score 14-0. Seconds later Varney again threw to Fowler Fow-ler who shed S. F. tacklers to race 30 yards for another score. Max Strasburg was on the receiving re-ceiving end of another Varney pass a little lookin that caught the Dons asleep and the score went to 26-0. After an exchange the Cavemen Cave-men team drove downfield to the four yard line and Varney on a rollout hit paydirt and a 33-0 halftime Cavemen lead. A. F. received the opening kickoff of the third quarter and with excellent team blocking downfield the fleet Fowler raced 95 yards and a t.d. as the score went 39-0. Coach Mower had put many reserves re-serves into the contest before halftime, but now Mr. Mower and his assistant Paul Kitchen play- d the entire team and then the Spaniards finally were able to avert a shut out by scoring twice. Late in the game Mower again sent in the first unit and the team responded with another score in snort order. David Lew is on the reverse scampered in the final 11 yards. With the win A. F. is the only unbeaten team left in sophornure ball as all others have one cr more defeats, and the team is nnldlv closing in on last year's undefeated season. Only three gamss remain to be played and two of these are hert at home. By John Roberts A. F. safely scooted down the sidelines to the four yard line to set up the final t.d. of the game. A very stiff north wind blew through out the game and could have contributed to the numerous fumbles as the playing conditions were not the very best. Highlighting the game was a thirty yard kick into the wind by Kirk McDaniel. You say 30 yards, that's nrt very long, well this right footed kicker received a bouncing snap from center and picked the ball up on run and kick ed it left footed, and thats not bad work. McDaniel in addition to his strong kicking, punting and PAT attempts is a starting tackle and goes both ways. Gil Anderson and Blake Buhler, Buh-ler, the Cavemen running backs were both strong throughout the Viking game and Buhler especially espec-ially effective up the middle while Anderson goes wide. Injuries have plagued the Fork -ers, but with the long layoff due to the four day weekend most players are back in top shape and Coach Tom Crittenden can spell his offense and defensive teams a little more than in the past. Pleasant Grove was unable to move against the A. F. Defense gaining a total of 62 yards with four first downs. A. F. totaled 227 yards with 10 first downs. Carbon, today's opponent fell to Springville last time out 27-0 but like A.F. the Dinos rely on speed, and they have a young ball club loaded with juniors that could jell all at once and give any team trouble. Trouble has always been had by A. F. down there at Price, and last time down there A. F.camefrom behind in the last few moments to gain the win. They were big favorites that year, and I look for a very exciting game. The team could ill afford to take the Dinos lightly. Jim Borla, Jr. quarterback, and two runners named Robert Martinez and Kim Tomsic make Carbon a threat. 1:30 p.m. today in a time change due to the long trip, is the new time for the game originally scheduled for a night game. Last week Sp. Fork eliminated Provo 8-7 with a last second t.d. Orem won over the Uintah Utes 27-0 and Payson over Lehi 32-2. Two teams from each division of Ragion Four Class AA and Class A goes into further action ac-tion in playoffs and a let down by the frontrunners will juggle the standings in the very tight race. AF Sophs Continue Winning Ways; Beat P. G. 39-14 American Fork's sophomore football team continues to roll over opponents without hardly being be-ing tested. Earlier this week they blitzed a "good" Pleasant Grove soph team 39-14. Mark Fowler a fancy running tailback led the A. F. sophs with three touchdown romps. The three runs totaled well over a 100 yards in just three plays and Mark had a very big day running the ball. He had two jaunts of 46 yards and one of 2C to pay dirt. In addition to these three runs he added many sprints all over the field. Fowler's first t.d. came on the first offensive play from scrimage and really shook up the P. G. team. Coach Don Mower has besides Fowler also several other fine ball carriers and Craig Wing at fullback ripped over for a t.d. from the seven. Gavin Christen powered his way to a t.d. and the soph's very talented quarterback quarter-back John Varney scored on a rollout and kept the P. G. defense de-fense very loose with accurate passing and a well handhd offensive offen-sive game. The P. G. sophs did get some salvation from the game I suppose. sup-pose. They scored only the second sec-ond t.d. against the number one unit of A. F. Lehi owns the other. oth-er. A. F. was leading 33-0 in the fincl quarter when P. G. put together to-gether a drive and climaxed it with the score. Once more it was the strong line play that earned the sophs their win and the front line with Sherlin Manning, Paul Sagers, Tim Hall, Alan Cooper, Mark Hales, Sandy Nicholes, Jim Dean, and several reserves that makes big holes for the backs to run at. Nicholes especially on the wide sweep led Fowler downfield twice with very good blocking. A. F. with the win has apparently ap-parently earned soph championship champion-ship as all teams in the league have lost a couple of games. lLJ i e Lt BLAKE BUHLER, standing third from left, is the "Player of the Week." His biggest fans are Dad, Herman Buhler, at left, and family members Michelle, Glenn, Mrs. Buhler, Janette and Max. Blake Buhler, Bruising Fullback For A. F. Cavemen, Named Player of Week American Fork's bruisingfull-back bruisingfull-back Blake Buhler is named this week's "Player of the Week" for a big, big performance against the Pleasant Grove Vikings. Blake better known as "Tuni" by his teammates, was given the name because of Tuna Fish. Gil Anderson, his running mate gave Blake the name when he was a suph, while eating a cold lunch, (mostly Tuna Fish.) "Tuni" nevertheless handles his name and his position very well as attested by his performance perform-ance last time out. Against PI. Grove, Blake carried the ball for 106 yards rushing, for an average aver-age carry of 10.3 yards per try for his nine rushes, in addition the big fullback hauled in two passes for 34 yards and a touchdown. touch-down. Blake says the line was making ten foot wide holes for him to run through and the whole A. F. line is the very best. Blake, whose main assignment assign-ment is blocking, really appreciates apprec-iates the way his teammates opened up the P. G.line for him. "Tuni" blocks very well on the wide sweeps, and pass pattern set up by the Cavemen. Like Bruce Bowen last week. Blake is so happv to be playing on a winner, as his little league team the "Rams" never won many games. Blake added, "with this team spirit we should win a few more games. Its agreat team with all of the guys working together," to-gether," he added. Blake, a son of Herman and Glenna Buhler has an older brother broth-er Randall, who is serving a mission, two future footballers, brothers Max and Glen; sisters Janette and Michelle round out the Buhler family that support the Cavemen athletic program as their son is involved in all three major sports at school, where he is a senior. Tuni is a two year Baseball and REELECT A MAN THAT GETS THE JOB DONE A new service is being instituted in Utah County under the direction of Commissioner Stone. In compliance with the new health and sanitation sani-tation requirements of the state, the county, in cooperation with the cities, has established two sanitary land fill operations and a third site Is being selected to be in operation soon. This project will completely eliminate all of the smoldering, rat-infested dumps in the county. EFFICIENT and ECONOMY has held the cost of operations to about 60 of the amount being paid by our neighboring counties for this service! VEM. D. STQIIE INCUMBENT COUNTY COMMISSIONER Pleasant Grove Stealers Win Utah Valley Football Conference Title Pleasant Grov's Steelers were crowned Champions of the Utah Valley Football Conference last week in the title game. The Steelers defeated the Am. Basketball player and is completing com-pleting his third football season, in baseball , Blake is a very outstanding pitcher, with a big breaking curve ball his best pitch, and he hits the ball for distance with a bat. Very good would describe de-scribe his baseball ability. Basketball Bas-ketball finds him playing from the guard spot and he has developed very well in the backcourt, and can drive or shoot the long one as the case demands. His future revolves around athletics ath-letics and he will attend BYU with something to do with sports his objective. "Maybe coaching," he laughingly said, and being a let-terman let-terman in three sports Tuni has high hopes of receiving a scholarship schol-arship at some school. Of course he has a mission for his Church ahead, and this Highland Ward member has attained the Duty to God Award. Blake who garduated from all three little league programs is a very coachable athlete, and is very easy to get along with, and when I asked him his favorite sport he said, the one I'm playing play-ing at the time is the best, but I've a suspicion he leansto baseball. base-ball. Blake like all A. F. athletes is a very good student and maintains main-tains a B average, said he trys to enjo', all his studies. Herman and Glenna are kept very busy all year round with their son's activities on the athletic ath-letic field and are tremendously proud of their son, and except when Dad works both attend every ev-ery game he participates in. Today again Carbon Blake said, "We'll win if we are fired up. Against Springville and Lehi the first half we were not ready. But we hope Spanish Fork gets beat at Payson and we can beat Carbon. We have a good chance to go to State, and that seems to be everyone's goal. PAID POL. ADV. Fork Colts, the defending Chanps, 24-12 in the title game. The Steelers scored once in each period while the Colts scored twice late in the game. About his teammates and the AFHS coaching staff Blake said they are the best. Coach Crittenden Crit-tenden coaches the fullbacks and Tuni said he works us hard but its worth the price, and he said Mr. Ingersoll linebacker coach is about the same. (Blake plays second sec-ond unit linebacker on defense) and as teammates we have excellent ex-cellent team spirit and try to work as an eleven man unit and its sure paid off for us to date. They are all great guys, the best I've ever been around, he added. In the game's tradition of a full back gaining the tough yards up the middle young Mr. Buhler fills the fullbacks role very well. Who does Senator Moss work for, big labor bosses or the people of Utah? Utahns want freedom to work without having to pay tribute to labor bosses. v - ... l V. Champs over the five year history of the league have been the Lehi Packers twice, A. F. Browns (now the Redskins), A.F. Colts and now the P. G. Steelers. Steel-ers. For third and fourth place the A. F. Redskins defeated the P.G. Eagles 28-6 in five quarters, the game was tied at six each following follow-ing regulation play. In the extra period the Redskins scored twice to win. Darrell Carson P. G. league President was elated with his town' s first title, as a very big amount of work goes to the program and it is great to win. The Steelers were tied once during dur-ing league play and rolled unbeaten unbeat-en to their championship. Once more it was a very successful suc-cessful season in the program with officers of the league giving giv-ing a big vote of thanks to the coaches, who do such an outstanding outstand-ing job with the boys. The program's purpose has been to develop boys with a love of football and an example is the current A. F. H. S. team and sophomore team. Both are loaded with little league grads who de-ve de-ve loped in the program and cveated a desire to play good football. This year is no exception, excep-tion, there is a wealth of talent in the league again and will row be developed further in the high school program. Coaches for the American Fork teams were JimCunningham, head of the Redskins, Richard Merkley, and Howard Cunningham, Cunning-ham, assistant coaches. Owen Dean and Bob Wilson headed the Colts, and Larry Searle coached tlv Bears and these men are very loyal to the program, not only teaching basic football but rules to live by throughout the boys lives. They do agreat service. Heading the League as officers are Wendell Hansen, president; Bill Pierce, Don Mower, vice presidents, and tremendous support sup-port from every parent of each boy in the league. mm As early as July, 1956, Senator Moss was calling for repeal of Utah's "righi-to-work" law.
