The Dinos went down to defeat in overtime to Lehi last Thursday. Two highly controversial calls by the officials and a propensity by the Dinos to collapse during close games contributed to their downfall. Carbon had the game well in hand but let it slip away, reminiscent of the loss to Emery in overtime earlier in the year. Carbon held a 27-- 7 edge over the Pioneers well into the second half. The first call provoking the ire of Dino partisans centered first-plac- Because of the loss, the Dinos fell into a three-wa- y tie for third place in the final Region 7 standings. The three-wa- y tie resulted from an Emery win over Wasatch and a Uintah win over Union on the last day of the regular season. Carbon, Wasatch and Uintah are the teams involved in the tonight.

Cooper passed to Chad Smith in the end zone with just 1:59 remaining in the game, and a successful conversion of the PAT tied the game. In the overtime period, the Dinos contested another controversial calL This one cost them the game. Each team failed to score on the first series of downs from the 10 yard line. During the second set of downs, Lehi scored a TD on an option play over the right side and the door was open for the Dinos when the attempt for an extra point was blocked. Carbon then lined up for its four downs. The first was an incomplete pass, the second was a draw play that gained very little and on the third, Eric Llewelyn hit Don Ross with a short pass but the Dino receiver was line. The stopped at the all important fourth attempt was another pass to Ross which he appeared to gather rd in for a TD, but the officials ruled his catch was a trap on the ground and the game was over. Carbon scored first in the game on a spectacular pass play from Llewelyn to Jeff Blanc.

A good run by Chad Feichko carried all the way to the Pioneer 26. A pass to Curtis Cook put the Dinos within striking distance, first and goal at the eight yard line. Jake Gress-me- n hit the middle of the Pion eer line from a half yard out the TD but unfortunately, the Dinos missed the PAT. It appeared to be of little consequence at that point, with Carbon having a 27-- 7 lead. The Dinos did not score again in the game, and the sophomore Lehi quarterback put on an exhibition showing d quarwhy he is the ranks terback in Class despite his youth. He went on to connect on an scoring strike, he then scored himself on a short keeper play and he later passed to Smith to tie the for top-rate- 3-- A 86-ya- rd ... score.

Every year, too many sports- men finish their chase in the Happy Hunting Grounds." So unless you believe this is a good year to die, here are a few tips to keep your name from the obituary column. Before leaving home, tell somone where youll be hunting and when you plan to return. Leave a map of the area, your hunting camp location and the description and license number of your vehicle. Leave instructions to notify the public safety dispatcher if you dont return as scheduled. Likewise, before leaving hunting camp, tell someone in your party where youll be and when youll be back. A hunting companion isnt a bad idea, either. If you are injured, your partner can direct rescue efforts back to you. Whatever you forget, dont leave camp without the means to start a fire.
