Pack then scored on a throwing error at third base enabling the winning win-ning run to cross the plate, for the Cavemen win. Andy Burgess provided much of the Cavemen fire power as he tripled, twice, while having a perfect 2-2 performance per-formance at the plate. He also walked twice. Before Burgess and Pack blasted their opposing pitcher it looked like Coach Pehrson's team would suffer a defeat, but as it turned out, the elated AF coach was very pleased with his team's comeback effort. Coach Pehrson felt that there were lapses in the AF game that need to be corrected, such as the running of bases before their next date against Judge. West Wins Mythical Crown Scott Runia, the all-state guard of West High paced the Panthers to the first annual all-division all-division state tournament championship. cham-pionship. The junior's 22 point performance lifted the Panthers to a 76-73 overtime win over the AAA champs Davis Darts. West led by 5 points at half-time, half-time, but was forced into an extra stanza after the Darts and the Panthers tied at the end of regulation time, 68-68. The Davis team lost the sure win in the final 10 seconds of regulation regula-tion time. Davis led 68-64 and West with the ball. Runia drove the baseline and scored on a lay-up but was fouled. He intentionally inten-tionally missed the free-throw and it carommed back tn him, and he hit the timely jumper with two seconds remaining. A disappointing crowd of 5,128 spectators watched the final, which was close all the way. Cedar City, nipped the Kanab Cowboys for the third place honors with Coby Leavitt ripping rip-ping the twine for 18 points to close-out the Redmen centers productive career in the southlands south-lands of Utah. In Fridays semifinals, semi-finals, the Darts defeated Kanab Kan-ab and the West team barely got by the AA champs Cedar. Personally, we prefer that the go-getter type of women go-get someone else.

Clean air. Everyone wants it. And Utah Power & Light Company wants to talk to you about what they're doing to help keep the air clean around electric generating plants. Air pollution control is a big job, with big words, too . . . like "electrostatic precipitator." In plain English, a precipitator is designed to stop the small particles of ash that burning coal releases from going up the generating plant stack. A precipitator, however, is even more complicated than it sounds. For instance, the one installed at Huntington's first unit is over 200 feet long ... 50 feet wide . . . nearly eight stories tall, and it keeps up to 99 and a half percent of , tiic aou iiKjiu cvci 1 canning liic OLajv. Its cost is near $5'2 million , , . and every customer helps to pay for it through his rate for electricity. Utah Power installed its first precipitator in 1949 and now has one either in operation or planned for . operation, at every coal burning generating plant. All pollution control measures, like these precipitators, take research, dedication and money, but Utah Power & Light's job is to provide electricity with minimum impact on the environment. And, since you're a customer, you have a right to understand what Utah Power is doing to keep the air clean. 3 1 n i rk- L.-, f Tw J y Ten good reasons to buy Pacer, the first wide small car: 1.

Studying the Bible may not end warfare, but it will improve human beings. Pacer is the first wide small car. (Wider than Chevelle, Duster, Nova-even Nova-even Granada!) You'll notice a big difference in room, ride and handling compared with conventional small cars. 2 Pacer's got an eco- nomical 6-cylinder engine and a 22-gallon gas tank. That's larger than any small car so you can go a long way between fill ups. 3. Pacer is wider than any other small car so you get an unusual amount of room. In fact, Pacer gives you more leg room, front and rear, than the two-door Torino or Fury. Pacer's passenger door is 3.6 inches wider than the driver's. So you can get in and out of the back seat that much easier. 5. Pacer's sloping hood, wide windshield and wrap-around rear windows give you room with a view. More visibility, in fact, than any other American-built sedan large or small! 8, 6. Pacer's wide stance and isolated suspen sion give you an incredibly smooth and stable ride. AwlCFD PeaSers 7 Pacer's hatch opens wide and the rear seat folds down. This gives you lots of wide-open cargo space.
