The Cougars played an outstanding game in Park City, upsetting the Miners 22 to 6. But the controversy isnt part of that game. The big controversy is the seating of Union in the tournament. With the entry in the tournament of a couple of independent teams, Grand and San Juan, the records for the schools will be used to seat them. G rants ville was seated first but with identical Union and records, Grand are fighting for second and third seats. The Utah High School Actiwill meet vities Association today, Wednesday, October 22, to decide the problem. Union is contending that Grand played not one game as a JV game using their varsity players - so the record for Grand is not identical to Unions. The issue becomes further complicated when the Beatings are seen. If Union is placed third will play Juab this Friday in thy Roosevelt. Then, they most likely meet Grantsville in Tooele next week - if the Cats beat Juab. The Cowboys were the only team to beat the Cougars this year. And, Coach Paul Maggio said he thinks it is unfortunate to have two top teams from the same region play each other and eliminate such talent froqi the contest so early. However, if the Cats are seated roiled win-loB- Hurricane this Friday afternoon on the Cats field. They will then face the winner of the Morgan Millard contest in the next round. Coach Maggio said, depending on the seating, he expects Grantsville, Union, Delta and possibly Richfield to come out of the second round of the tournament He has also put a bit of an escape clause in the prediction by saying the sudden death rule helps any team be able to beat any other team any day. The sudden death was especially evident when the Union JV S lost to the Park City JV in the last game of the season, here in Roosevelt last Thursday. Union tie played the Miners to a at the end of regulation but the visitors scored first to win in the third overtime. Whatever happens with the determination today in Salt Lake City, the Cougars will open the tournament season at home Friday afternoon. If Juab is the opponent the game will be at 2 p.m. If Hurricane comes here for the game, it will be at 1 p.m. 14-1- 21-1- - COUGAR GANG Cougars h Tommy Olsen, Phillip Buckner took unidentified Miner and one tackier Ber-tos- n to the ground regularly during the Park week. in number Park the last Cats The City upset game two ranked team in State and earned a seat in the City-Unio- - 6 ' Accidents and searches keep officials very busy Lapoint on the Paradise Park Road when the accident occurred on October 15 at about 5 p.m. Freestone, 24 of Vernal, was apparently thrown from the vehicle after he over corrected and rolled it.

Bob Sheedy bought 100 percent of the stock of his favorite pancake mill but will keep former owners Roland and Vernon Buchanan. He said Roland win work there for a minimum of five years and Vernon will become a consultant for at least one year. This way Sheedy will not lose the expertise that built the business to what it is. Sheedy, who is staying in the insurance business as well as entering the feed, seed and mill business, bought the company because he loves the hot cake mix. He expects to market the mix Btatewide, starting in January, and possibly nationally. "We want to keep everything going just as it always had, Sheedy said, just expanding the hot cake mix. He emphasised the firm will still buy grain, still sell feed end seed, might expand the Loomix operation end will definstdy expand the hot cake mix marketing.
