Monticello organized its football team for the season and began practice last week. The schedule of games is still incomplete but several games w ith other schools have been lined up for this fall and others are hoped for. Replies from other schools re questing the scheduling of games have not been answered at this time but it is hoped that eight or ten games may be arranged before the end of the season. Twenty-eigh- t hopefuls from the high school turned out for the initial practice and the eleven man first team is shaping up. A practice game with the Dove Creek High School was played on the Monticello field Wednesday afternoon. The score at the end of the fourth quarter gave Dove Creek the edge by twelve points. Dove Creek made their scoring in the first half but the Monticello team, showing great promise, held their own in the second half plus pushing across the Dove Creek goal line for a touchdown and a conversion. The schedule, so far this season, slates a return match with Dove Creek on October 7th, Moab November 4th, and Nucla November 11. The three games scheduled are to be held away from home. The entire athletic program at Monticello High School has been expanded this year and will include, besides football, basketball, track, wrestling and baseball. Two coaches are now on- - the staff. Dale Maughan is signed as head football coach, with Ralph Butler as assistant, and Coach Butler will handle the basketball head spot with Coach Maughan as assistant. Coach Maughan will work the track and wrestling and Coach Butler the baseball assignment.
