In 1976, that combo is making i enmehnek Only this time Vierra and McGivney aren't playing for the Utes. At least not yet. Kenny Vierra Jr. is quarterback of the Judge Memorial Bantams in the Ute Football Lcague and Mike MeGivney is his right-hanor lefthand, man. Almost two decades after their fathers went through the d, niotions for Jack Curtice and Ray Nagel at the U., Ken and Mike are producing a pretty good, although belated, instant replay. Not only do they hold down the same positions as their dads, but they play with a lot of that c1.-- 1 ",-44- -c I first-perio- 7-- 5-- 5--3, 3. 3-- I t football Naturally. Vierra Sr. and McGivney Sr. are their coather "Yeah; the years have gone by fast," says Coach Ken Vierra, "it does seem like only yesterday we were playing. But you can't get it out of your al system easily. I guess previous seven games, got sojme strong goaltending from Dune Wilson. When Wilson had to make saves, he stopped everything they Lould ilirow at him," said Pittsburgh Coach Ken Schinkel. "He made several key saves in the first 'period which might have turned the game around." Rock Kehoe had twl goals and an assist for the Penguins. Pierre Larouche scored in the first 15 seconds of play and Pittsburgh dominated the game thereafter. The Penguins scored one shorthanded coal anti four power playgoals, the latter tying a team record. "1 think things are just starting to come around," said captain Ron Schock.

In the only other NHL game Tuesday night, the New York Islanders opened a four-poilead over Philadelphia in the Patrick Division by defeating the Colorado Rockies r. the World Hockey Associatin. Phoenix topped Calgary edged the Quebec Milaiesuta Fighting Saints 1011St On overcame Winnipeg 1 and San Diego nipped Birminghaul 3 in overtime. The Penguins, who had three losses and four ties in their ways need some kind of a t program. And that includes their sons. At least for this year. "I guess it's mostly coindidence to have both our boys at the same positions," says Ken, "you have to be careful about forcing a young player into anything he doesnl really want." It's obvious the y version is as anxious about playing in the backfield as the old vintage version. "I feel comfortable at quarterback," says Kenny Jr., "and I think Mike feels the same away about halfback." Their "comfort" is reflected in Judge's record this year. With just four Bantam teams remaining in the quest for the 1976 title, Judge is still alive. Last weekend the Bulldogs 5 in the whipped Granger opening round af postseasou play, and now await a semifinal this Saturday agamst Hillcrest. And while tradition is obviously playing a big part in Judge's ,success with the "natural" combination of it dne.m't Ftop there. This Judge team is loaded with tradition. The father-so- n business continues with Neil and Doug Sorensen, Neil a quarterback at the U. (1952-55- ) who now coaches the Bant r. ninng with Tierra and McGivney and Doug a standout defensive player for the Bantams. That makes three former Utes as coaches and their three sons as mainstays on the team. Amazincly, coincidaii. hits brought it about. not parental meddling. Vierra has been with the Judge program for six years, after finishing coaching i Vierra-McGivne- 38-2- Vierra-McGi- , stints at Barbara and the University of Utah (five years), and has been with the Bantams the past four, winning one title and finishing second twice, and this is the first time he's ever ' coached Ken Jr. Sorensen, too, has been with the Bantams four years and is coaching Doug for the first time. Next year the father-soteams will be broken up again, as the become 14- year-old- s and move upanother step in the Ute Conference program. But while Kenny Jr., Mike and Doug think an awful lot of their present coaches, they've given ample notice they plan to produce success because of their own merits, and not rely on their fathers' reputations.

On the way out of the hills we passed Charley Woodbury's Trout Creek camp on Strawberry Reservoir, dropped in to say howdy to Charley. Charley knew the deer hunt would be a pressured one. And he had rented his camp accommodations for the week. He also knew veteran fishermen would be on the lake this time of the year when the big ones were biting. So Charley outsmarted the rest of us. He voted a week ago on an absentee ballot. Charley went to a lot of work to get that early ballot in the box. Incidentally, now the election is over ,there is some fine fishing to be had at Strawberry, Starvation, Red Creek and some other spots not far from our big cities. Charley's camp will have boats and launching and if it doesn't fly he will keep until the snow flies his camp open until Nov. 30, the last day of fishing. That's nice of Charley. Hardly pays the light bill! 1 The award was a personal triumph for Jones, because he didn't get similar exposure before the powerful New York communications media. Also because he survived an 'August car crash which jeopardized his career and could have cost him his life, arid a San Diego team which could have cost him his sanity.. "It's like a boyhood dream come true," said Jones when notified that he had won the award. "It shows I am for real. When you achieve your boyhood dream, it is an incredible thrill.

But it's been this writer's view, after seeing tyAll teams play, that Clearfield is the team if there who can beat is a team in the state Skyline. Skyline is big, tough and coached by veteran Ken Schmidt. The Falcons will rely on the hard running of fullback Robbie Richeson, who has devastated opposing teams by averaging more than 120 yards per game. The Falcons, too, have an excellent offensive lie and a stingy defense. Class This is probably Davis vs. Springville the toughest of the semifinal games to pick a favorite. But Springville fiyished the season ranked No. 1 and it's hard to go against the top teem in any poll. The Red Devils have a balanced offense with one of the best quarterbacks in the state in Scott Phillips. He, along with fullback Kyle Elder and. tailback Chris Mecham, and a good offensive line really makes things happen.
