Show r i ! t Price, Utah Wednesday, September 28, 2B Sun Advocate, 1983 Defense wins the game Vikings trounce Raiders By ANGIE HYRE Sports Editor Defense was the name of the here Friday night as the East Carbon game strong-arme- d their way to a Vikings Homecoming victory against Whitehorse, The Vikings had an impressive defensive display throughout the first three quarters as they held the Raiders scoreless. Whitehorse only managed to hit the scoreboard (making all 22 points in just five minutes) when coach Knute Rockne III felt they had a comfortable enough lead to put in the bench players. Their comeback was partly my fault, Rockne said. I substituted in the younger kids. But keep in mind our younger kids are ninth the sophomores and juniors are graders on the field. already Rockne couldnt say enough about his defense, however, as they managed to hold Whitehorse to a mere gain by the beginning of the fourth quarter. Pat Sparrow had three solo sacks while Trini Herrera had six solo tackles three of which were in the backfield. David Hutson was a strong linebacker for East Carbon. Rockne said no one from the Raiders line could run to his side. Devin Guymon also had two sacks and was always pressuring the Raider quarterback. It was East Carbons game from the beginning as quarterback Marc Martinez passed to Larry Sanchez who ran 67 yards to the end zone for the Vikings first touchdown. They missed the PAT and the score stood at The Viking defense stifled the Raiders as they could do nothing with the ball on the next series. When it was the Vikings ball again, East Carbon wasted no time on taking it to the scoreboard when Martinez hit Jayson Robles on a pass. Once again they missed the PAT and East SUNNYSIDE 44-2- 2. 16-ya- rd 6-- 38-ya- rd Carbon led 12-- 0. It seemed everytime East Carbon got the ball they put points on the board. The Viking defense refused to allow the Raiders a chance to do anything on the next series and the Vikings made good use of the ball when they got it back Martinez to Robles again for a pass. The Vikings ended the first quarter with a whopping 18-- lead. 56-ya- rd 0 While the rains continued to fall throughout most of the game Friday night, Rockne said they refused to give up the passing game. And it paid off again as Martinez hit Robles for a pass and another touchdown. Rockne refused to take any credit for the success. All I try to do is get them at the right place at the right time, he said. I cant take the credit for their success. Its just natural talent for all three of them. It was the same story throughout the game, East Carbon scores and Whitehorse is held by the strong Viking defense. In the third quarter it was Martinez to Jake Leyba for a pass but Whitehorse tried to stop the Viking march and tackled Leyba. But before he hit the ground Leyba made a fantastic pitch to Sanchez who ran the last 20 yards for another touchdown, bringing the score to 38-- It was what Rockne calls the famous razzle-dazzl-e play that really - with According to coach Foster Lott, the Din os won the match ByWALTBORLA Sports Writer 22-ya- rd Martinez-Sanchez-Robl- e 30-ya- rd 0. works in a pinch. g a rest after that Rockne gave the and Whitehorse capitalized on the younger squad he sent in. During this time Martinez threw for two interceptions that led to two touchdowns for Whitehorse. But Rockne said with the amount of air attack the Vikings make, those two interceptions didnt hurt them one bit. and the clock was winding down. It was y into the fourth quarter the Vikings made their last touchdown on a pass from Martinez to Sanchez. Martinez finished the game with 17 of 29 passes completed for a total of 448 yards. Robles had five catches for 204 yards and Sanchez had five catches for 154 yards. 0 in The Vikings are now 1 for the season and Rockne expects a tough game Region 13 out of Altamont this week.

A three-hou- r movie, Dempsey is scheduled for showing tonight on CBS, Channel 5 in this area. Jack Dempsey, the subject of the film, was one of the storied world heavyweight boxing champions of the world who had Utah ties that included a chapter in Carbon County. Dempsey died a couple of months ago in New York City. attracted Dempsey at- tention for years because of his varied activities long after Gene Tunney took the heavyweight title away from him. One of the activities included a promotion in Carbon County that many old timers will still recall, the establishment of Dempsey City in the upper Gordon Creek area. Promoters of this new Carbon County city foresaw a township rising on the property now owned by the Utah Department of Wildlife and utilized as a winter grazing area for deer. At the time of the promotion in the 1920s when Dempsey was at the height of his boxing career, coal mines were flourishing in the area, mines at. Sweet Mine, Consumers and National. Dempsey made several appearances at the time to push the promotion, in fact, a make-shi- ft training camp was established to embellish the promotion at what later became known as Coal City with a handful of residents. The promotion involved the selling of lots for the envisioned city on the at the site before you come to the present mining operation of the Beaver Creek Coal Co. The city blocks were laid out, lots were purchased by many of the countys prominent citizens, some of whom continued to pay taxes on and flat-lan- ds held title to long after the scheme folded. Dempseys ties to Utah can be traced to his mother, a member of the LDS Church. He was born in Manassa, Colo., thus the title, The Manassa Mauler during his fight career. The family moved to Utah when Dempsey was just a youngster and he actually began his ring career as a resident of Utah. It is reported that the film will not pertain to his life in Utah too much, but it was known that the former champ returned to the state often. He purchased a new home in Murray for his mother where she lived until her death. Dempsey operated a restaurant on Times Square in New York for years until advancing years forced his retirement. The spot was a favorite gathering spot for the crowd fight f The three-hou- r movie will many of Dempseys re-sta- fights, including the winning title from Jess Willard in the bruising daylight battle outdoors in 1922, the eventual loss of the title to Tunney, and also the famous long count of their second match. The fights, however, are not the big part of the movie. Dempsey was married three times, once to a famed actress, and the movie will focus upon this part of his life. of the heavyweight CM S3 0 SWAP OCTOBER and celebrities of other sports as well. Utahns, including Carbon County residents, always got a special welcome in the restaurant from the champ himself, who kept busy through the years greeting customers. One of his closest friends from this area was the late William (Bill) Lines, Sr., who lived for years in Columbia and Wellington. Another local resident who made Dempseys acquaintance on a visit to New York City in 1949 was Lyle Asay of Hiawatha, who made it a point to stop in the restaurant whenever he was in New York. The champ was always gracious enough to pose for a picture with someone from Utah. 1,1983 CEU Girls Gym 12-- 6 p.m. Sponsored by CEU Finder Carbon High School Sun Advocate KOAL KRPX SPECIAL SAVINGS AMERICAN TRUCKS.
