Payson's last touchdown on Crouch's pass to Carter was a spectacular play, too. The play started from the Payson 42. Crouch fired the ball to Carter and wingman was off and running down the sidelines. Scott Christensen seemed to have Carter pinned along the sidelines at the Delta 20, but he elected to try to knock the flying Payson end out of bounds with a body block instead of trying to tackle him. Christensen bounced off Carter as if he had run into a light pole and the rugged Payson gridder just kept rambling to the goal line. Etherington almost got away on a long T.D. run in third period. With the ball on the Payson 33, the elusive halfback went over his right tackb, cut back to his left and ran diagonally across the field to the opposite sidelines. Then he streaked up the field to the Delta 21, before he was hauled down from behind by Dan Nielson. Defense Held But the Delta defense held and the Rabbits regained possession of the ball at the 18. Delta lived and died by its air game and it did a lot of dying, thanks to Payson's pass rush and the work of the lions' interceptor squadron. However, Bishop was on target on occasions and once Jon Bishop made a great leaping catch while surrounded by Payson defenders to put the ball on the lions' 35. But, on the next play, Brimhall came up with his second interception of the day the one that paved the way for Crouch's scoring strike to Brimhall. Delta was badly outclassed, but there was one Rabbit gridder who was top drawer all the way. He was Roger Allred, a linebacker, who repeatedly knifed through a phalanx of blockers to bring down the Payson ball carrier. 212-pou- Delta high's Rabbits, 40-Friday afternoon in a game. way As a result of their resounding Porter's Rabbits, were reeling the Delta defenses, Brimhall Four Touchdown Passes victory, Coach Jim Durrant's and in a state of shock by the end took the ball on the 10, broke Not only did Crouch fire four heroic knights of the gridiron of the first period. away from a tackier, stumbled, gained a berth in the semifinals touchdown passes on the dark Rolling into a 13--0 first quarter but kept his feet and charged lead, the men of Coach Durrant into the end zone for another Haskell booted the extra were in full pursuit of the 33-beleaguered Delta eleven, which point and Payson led 0 with to the 2:04 in second on were but play fought bravely unable to halt the quarter.
