When the smoke cleared, visiting Orem was on top 0 to earn the second-plac- e berth in the state tournament. American Fork will go to the tournament as the third-plac- e team. - A.F. needed a win to force a coin flip' for second. However, Orem took care of the situation by turning in a stellar defensive effort. One kick proved to be the difference. Midway through the second half, the Tigers capitalized on a free kick with Wendy Farley sending the ball sailing into the back of the net. That was the game winner. The Cavemen, who came on strong down the stretch, didn't go without a fight. They came at Orem hard and had several shots on goal. But Tiger goalie Jenny Cobb turned back every one to preserve the shut out. had several oppor Orem, - ' tunities to add to its score, but couldn't do it. Playing a bit sluggishly, the Tigers made the right moves and ran their offense, but weren't able to score. "I was pleased with the way we played," noted Tiger mentor Gar-Ia-n Fitzgarrald. "We didn't play really well, but we didn't play badly, considering the fact that we had a very tought game (against league champion Mountain View) yesterday. A.F. has improved a lot. They've come on and played well enough to deserve thrid place." A.F. coach Deidri Farr was also pleased with her team's play, calling it their best game of the year. "We played excellently," she said. "One shot from 20 yards out a fluke goal did us in. We had our chances by they just didn't go in. Our offense and defense both played outstandingly. The defense was there every time." The playoffs begin Monday with inter-regio- n playoffs. Undefeated Region 4 champ Mountain View hosts either Cottonwood or Olympus.

But for - Payson, emotion destroyed its chance of winning in a 3 loss to Emery Wednesday. The Lions, trailing by three, had puntEmery facing a fourth-dow- n ing Situation with 2:22 to play, but a young Payson squad made a youthful and critical mistake.

Emery picked up one more first down, then Spartan quarterback Gus Childs dropped to one knee three tiities and the game was over. 'Making critical mistakes has been our problem all year," said Lion coach Bart Peery, "but I thought overall we played a good ball game." .Surprisingly, this close contest featured no scoring in the second halL Both teams came close, but just- couldn't get the points. Pay-so- n Greg Shorthill intercepted a Childs pass late in the third quarter; -- but that Payson drive was stopped inside the Emery 20 and the i ions missed a field goal. Chris Justice of Emery picked off Lion quarterback Sammy Ford in,1he fourth period, but the Spar16-1- -- s. tans were also thwarted and missed a field goal. "We had a tough overtime win against Carbon last week and I think it took some of our intensity for this game. We just didn't play really well," said Emery coach Jim Jones. "Not to take anything away from Payson, though. They played a good game." In the first half, Emery opened the scoring with an pass from Childs to Ryan Burk. Payson responded when Ben Cook picked off a pass and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown. The PAT made it 6 Payson. Then the teams exchanged trick plays to set up scores. First Childs pitched to Shawn Borba, who fired to Jared Butler for a big gain. Later, the Lions used the trick play as Bryan Nielson threw a halfback pass to Tret Nielson to help set up Payson's score.

"Off Q in a sudden death playoff - KAYSVILLE Timpview coach Barry Olson wasn't quite ready for the excitement he had Wednesday. won the His golf tournament. In sudden death! "It was really exciting and intense," Olson said. "It's almost too much for my old soul." 4--A Timpview and Hillcrest fin- ished regulation play over the Davis Park course with duplicate 302s. Skyline was third with a 304 and Weber was fourth at 307. Orem placed fifth with a 311 while the rest of the top 10 was Highland 313, Cottonwood 314, Roy 318, Brighton 319 and View-mo- nt 321. Timpview's Will Huish won medalist honors with a three-undRuss par 68. The Madsen had a 72, good for fourth place in the individual race. Tyler Monsen finished with an 80 for the while Yoshi Katanuma had an 82 and Chris Moody had an 85. But back to the playoff. and Huskies After the tied, the four scoring players from each team headed to the first tee. The top two from each squad went first, followed by numbers three and four. Their scores were men lotauea to determine a winner. On No. 1, Huish, Madsen and Katanuma had pars. Monsen hit a shot out of bounds. The Huskies (Scott Clark, Josh Owen, Garrett Burbidge and er Medalist: Timp's Will Huish. Rich Thrasher) got a pair of pars and a pair of bogeys. So, the deadlock continued. got pars. Again three And again Monsen had trouble and finished with a double bogey. But, this time the Huskies managed just one par and three bogeys. End of match. Timpview had its 10th state championship since it came into being in the late 1970s. "It's always exciting to win the state championship," Olson said. "We had a couple of players who were quite disappointed personal PLAYOFFS: umpire Terry Cooney. Clemens and Cooney, however, saw it differently. But they did agree on one thing: Cooney admitted, "I was the first one to say something." And the result was Clemens became the first player in playoff history to be ejected for arguing with an umpire while still in the game. Clemens already trailed 0 when all hell broke loose. After missing on a close 1 pitch to Willie Randolph, Clemens began shaking his head. Clemens' version of what happened next: "I was looking down. I saw his throat guarding moving so he was saying something. He thought I was taking it to him." (Continued from Page Fl) AMERICAN LEAGUE First OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) the umpires got rid of Roger Clemens, then the rest was easy for Dave Stewart and the Oakland Athletics. They swept the Boston Red Sox for the American League pennant and their third straight trip to the World Series. e Stewart followed up his heroics with an even better effort, beating Boston 1 Wednesday and winning for the eighth d matstraight time in chups with Clemens. "It was pretty wild out there, but we don't usually mess around with things like that," Oakland manager Tony La Russa said. "We just take care of our business." Do they ever. The only real question in Game 4 was how long Clemens could hold off Oakland. Pushing his tender shoulder on three days' rest to the bewilderment of much of Boston. The answer was not long at all. In the ultimate sign of Boston's failure and frustration, Clemens was ejected in the second inning for arguing balls and strikes with - first-gam- 3-- 3-- head-to-hea- Cooney's version: "He stood on the mound, shaking his head like he was disgusted. I didn't take my mask off. I said, 'I hope you're not talking to me.' He said, 'Why don't you take your mask off if you want to talk to me.' I didn't want to get into a verbal argument." What happened, though, was inevitable at that point. Clemens and Cooney began arguing. Cooney said Clemens yelled GROVE PLEASANT ly, though. They didn't play as well as they had all year." Olson was pleased with Huish's performance, of course. "Will was one or two under par for the whole season the five region tournaments and today and that's really outstanding for a high school golfer," Olson said. "And I'm really proud of Yoshi. He's a senior who didn't play much before this year. He struggled today, but he came through when we needed him. He lipped out a birdie putt in the playoff, but got a par and came back with a par on the second hole. He was really a critical factor for us. "And Madsen had an excellent round," Olson continued. "His brother (Bill) won with the same score several years ago here at Davis Park. "We didn't reach our goal of 300, but the 302 was a school record for at a state meet," Olson said. "It's just exciting to win another title." 3A GOLF BRIGHAM CITY The Box Elder Bees, with Jason Wight setting a competitive course record from the blue tees with a seven-und64, claimed the state title by 16 strokes over runner-u- p Judge Memorial. Box Elder totalled 294, followed by Judge 310, Sky View 315, Logan 319 and Springville 320. Wasatch finished 13th at 342, but Wasp Brandon Bonner was third in the medalist chase with a 71. - er several expletives, Clemens said he did not. "I was fully cognizant that this was a big game. I thought several times about ejecting him before I did," Cooney said. But as Boston manager Joe Morgan ran on the field, Cooney thrust his fist in the air. Clemens stood placidly on the mound. "I didn't realize it was me," Clemens said. "Then our bench erupted." Clemens charged the plate. Red Sox players, coaches and Morgan tried to intercept him. He pushed past and even shoved umpire Jim Evans in an attempt to get Cooney. "He should have given me a warning," Clemens said. "This is just unbelievable is what it is." Cooney, however, felt he had done that, noting, "By me not taking off my mask, I thought I was showing him that enough was enough. I'm probably one of the easiest-goin- g umpires. But you American Fork's Rich Rowley and Provo's Becky Hemmert were the individual winners at the Pleasant Grove Invitational cross country meet Wednesday. course Rowley ran the three-mil- e in 15:13 and led his team to a meet. The victory in the four-teaCavemen finished with 22 points. Mountain View had 49, Pleasant Grove 75 and Provo 80. Chris Merkley of American Fork was second in 15:19 with Gus Ibarra of Pleasant Grove third (15:41). A.F.'s Toney Stafford was fourth at 15:52 and teammate Rob Chris-tense- n fifth at 15:57. He was followed Scott Brown (16:01), Jason Blackham (16:04) and Greg (16:11), all of Mountain View. Then came Provo's Steve Beck (16:16) and American Fork's Brian Shelley was 10th. Hemmert won the girls' race in 18:19. Mountain View then had six girls place to win the meet with 20 points. Provo and American Fork finished with 66 points each.

The next five were the Bruins' Christy Buttars (19:48) and Christy Christensen (19:51), A.F.'s Lisa Smith (19:54), P.G.'s Stephanie Long (19:55) and Mountain View's Kym U'ren 10th (20:13). The four teams will join Orem and Timpview for the Region Four meet next Wednesday afternoon. m Van-derwer- ff don't need the pitcher to shake his head in front of 50,000 fans like you're an imbecile." AL president Bobby Brown saw the whole thing from a third-bas- e box, and although players in both dugouts said they could hear the whole exchange, Brown said he could not, but "something must have been said that was pretty dramatic for that to happen." As the argument escalated, two water coolers and a bin full of gum and sunflower seeds got tossed onto the field from the Boston dugout, and Marty Barrett and coach Dick Berardino got into a brief skirmish. Barrett was later ejected. "Roger has a real good idea of his importance to the team, and it was an inopportune time to get kicked out," Stewart said. "I can't imagine what he was thinking, but I know the things Roger was saying were worth being thrown out for." 55 TOTS BYU: OP (Continued from Page Fl) freshmen include Jeff Campbell, a 9 forward from Athens, Ala., and 8 Shane Knight from San Diego. 6-- 4th Annual 6-- The Cougars then brought in juco guard Keegan Kane from Ricks, forward Robert Jones from Chicago and 8 Jared Miller from Ricks. Both Kane and Jones are juniors; Miller is a sophomore who has been on a mission. Sale Clearance SAT. THURS., FRIDAY 6-- 6 6-- "Sometimes that chemistry takes a few games to find. Last year we had a freshman, Mark Durrant, who ended up starting ahead of a veteran, Todd Crow. And that was because of chemistry." The other big challenge is finding leadership and motivation from among his 15 players. "I tell you we are excited for Monday. I can't tell you how good it will be to get to work after we've been gone the past three months recruiting," said Reid. Schreiner, a senior, junior guard Mark Heslop and senior Scott Moon would be among players Reid said could give this year's team leadership. "But sometimes it comes from a guy who doesn't start, or maybe one of the freshmen will step forward. This is a key. That intangible is very valuable in basketball. We have to find it. Last year people looked at K vin Santiago and by his speed anu size, they'd never have guessed he was what he was to us. But Kevin kept that team going on and off the court. We need to find a Kevin Santiago." Assistant coach Charles Bradley said he is glad to start practice. "I hate this evaluation period because we come in totally cold. We haven't been able to watch these guys the,, past two months. Monday we oati. You think, then you think, but don't know. Oct. 15 we start to know what we've got." any Igle, Reid's other assistant agreed. "I tell you I'll just be happy to go to work at seven and dome home at eight at night after being in hotels and on the road recruiting. Let's start. I feel kind of like Thomas Edison who at age 76 said he was just glad to cut it down to a 16 hour work day." yf If A.F., Bruin harriers win invitational 0 & rKtt blKE JjT with every bike purchased din ing ' his Sale 1 All Oakley ZLJ $3995 SATURDAY, OCTOBER OREM 8TH EAST MOUNTAIN OFFICE-- 1 1 13, 1990 5 SOUTH 800 EAST HIKING BIKES Schwinn Woodlands BOOTS reg. $279.95 NOW H-TE- C $23500 CM SUM EXERCISE BIKES IN STOCK ON SALE SCHWINN MOUNTAIN BIKES STARTING AT $189 95 ALL 1990 MODELS PRICED TO SELL...SOME MODELS UP TO .... 2 UU off S XMAS WELCOME Please visit aur new LAY-A-WAY- 7A-V- 7 01 0 ms&s NOW6399S5 SKI DEPARTMENT patagonla SynchMa 30off Summer 40 off Open 9:00 a.m. 'til after the BYU - CSU football game.
