Show Sun Chronicle Thursday, September Clearfield Courier IS, 1975 Wednesday September , 17, 1975 t Area football teams look at next opponents In this weeks prep duels for Clearfield, Bonneville and Roy, the road could get a bit steeper than last week All three schools are coming off wins and it probably is less likely to happen this week The Royals entertain the Bears of Bear River who were vastly underrated at the start of the season. Probably the only person, besides Bear impressiver River themselves, that thought they had a team to cope with, was Roy head coach, Ernest Jacklin. That could be the best thing that ever happened to Roy this season The Bears are both a big passing threat and a running Quarterback, Brad power. Cutler of Bear River, possesses fine qualities and has earned Jacklins approval as a great one. Bear River lost their first game last week against Weber and even then they were quite stutjxirn in doing so, bowing In all respects though, Roy has the team and the material to carry over the Bears this Friday at 4 p m. Coach Jacklin says tnat the most important thing is to show up in the right frame of mind. The Region Two schedule kicks off its season this with Clearfield Friday playing at home against the Ogden Tigers Other action finds Bountiful and Ben Lomond tangling at Ben 18-1- Also Layton is at Viewmont People are still trying to figure what got into the Clearfield Falcons in their 35-- 8 slaughtering of Orem last week. Some said Orem wasn't really all that good and others said that the team came completely unglued. Forget all the alibis, the Falcons did play exceptionally well and a repeat performance this Friday at Falcon Field at 4 30 would surely be welcomed. The Falcons will be celebrating homecoming and a big win would sure please the returning alumni as well as leaving a big grin on Coach Jack Hannums face.

But this week, hell have to face one of the finest young backs in the state, Rob Richeson. It could prove to be a good match-up- . The Falcon offensive line has truly been superb over the last two games and will need yet another great showing against Ogden, who has yet to lose a ball game this season. Clearfield is 1 while the Tigers stand This contest winds up to be a battle that wont be forgotten for some time. Clearfield needs the victory because of homecoming and yet Ogden is not the team to think past. Lomond. In the final local prep contest, it will pit the Weber Warriors up against the Bonneville Lakers. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 4:30 p m. at Bonneville. The Lakers too came off with an impressive trouncing of Skyview 35-- on the Bob0 cats field Things could toughen up this week as the Warriors bring with them a well balanced attack. Weber has lost only one game this season, that being a set back from Highland. Bonneville Coach Tom Budge said of the coming up duel, Our defense won it for us last week and hopefully they can do it again. Favored with their greatest home schedule in history, the Wildcats will play seven games in Ogden this season including four of their six conference games, the traditional contest with arch-nva- l Utah State, and five evening and two afternoon contests What about the teams w'ho will be appearing in Wildcat Stadium this year9 Coach Dick Gw inn assesses the Wildcat schedule as r, 2-- 3-- follows Flight drags Orem defenders along fourth quarter action of the Falcons 35-- victory last week.

The Great Salt Lake reached its highest level since 1929 this summer, according to the Utah Geological and Mineral Survey. The high is assumed to have occurred between mid-Jun- e and July 1 and was probably a little bit above 4,201 55, according to the UGMS. Heavy mountain snow packs and an extraordinarily wet, cool spring were cited as factors in the high level this year.

The Tigers were completely torn apart by the savage claws of the high spirited Falcons. The discovery of a quarterback and the restoration of confidence to a talented young ballcarrier highlighted the contest. The Tigers were favored going n into the battle, while being ranked very near the top ten teams in the state. But the defending Region Four champions were given a taste of Falcon power before their long ride back home. Clearfield scored on their very first offensive drive with quarterback Mike Gardner hitting Todd Rice and Jay Welk on long pass plays to set up the score. Robbie Richeson, junior fullback, stunned the Tiger defenders as well as the fan3 when he broke for the goal line from 19 yards out He ran in the extra points on a two in the first yard ride with quarter.

As Gwinn says, After those four games, we will have a pretty good idea of how we stand this season.

Last season they had a fine 3 record. 7-- We dont know much about Western right now, Coach Gwinn said. This is our first meeting with them, but we do know that they have excellent talent returning and they had a very good recruiting year. They are more comparable to us in their program, although they have enjoyed great successes the past six years. Again we are optimistic going into the game.

WINTER "PAINT SPECIAL I really think that we have never had so many teams of such good quality coming into the stadium before They are all excellent football schools, but there are some real questionmarks for us in our scouting since two of the schools have new coaches and a third is a school that we have never played before The season starts with a bang as the Cats are at home in four consecutive weekends against two very tough 8 unanimous selection to repeat again this year. The following week, Oct. 4, finds the Wildcats finishing e home their stand with a meeting against the University of Montana. The Grizzlies are a darkhorse in the conference race this year and the game is a crucial one for the Wildcats. Montana has been a vexing opponent for Weber State. No team has ever beaten the Wildcats as many times, nor has a Montana team ever lost a football game at Ogden. The following week, Oct. 11, the Wildcats have their first road game against Montana State at Bozeman. But the next Saturday, Oct. 18, the Cats are home for what could be the biggest game of the season when the Utah State Aggies come to town for the fourth game between the two schools. If there was ever a year when we could beat Utah State, I think this is it. The game is our homecoming contest and ou- - emotions will be even higher. The last time Utah State came to town, our sell-ocrowd was a record, and I look for another turnout this year. It will be a great game, said Gwinn. The next two weeks finds the Cats on the road at Pocatello and Northridge, California, and they are home again for Game Number 6 on Nov. 8. The game, which starts at 1:30, will find the Vandals of Idaho coming to Ogden for the first time in three years up CLEARFIELD QUARTERBACK Mike Gardiner unleashes a pass during the Falcons 35-- 8 trounce of Orem.
