Former Servicemen Can Enlish in Army More Easily SALT LAKE CITY Former members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard who have been out of service for over three years may now enlist in the U.S. Army and receive an ac celerated three week Basic Combat Training course under a new enlistment option being tested called the Minuteman Program, acording to an Army spokesman. Until now, a major objection by prior servicemen has been the Army's requirement that they complete the full eight week course in Basic Combat Training. A test now underway at the U.S. Army Training Cen-ter, Fort Ord, California, has revealed that 98 of partic-ipating prior servicemen have successfully completed the ac-celerated training course. The Army intends to further study the Minuteman Program and, if it is determined to be successful, will make it a stan-dardized program within all Army Training Centers. Former military members are encouraged to contact their lo-cal Army Representative for more information on the Min-uteman Program, the spokes-man said. The test will continue through the end of November. PI.

Tom the "Tank" Strasburg led the young Vikings by scor-ing TD's in the first and fourth quarters and came up with 4 tackles and 6 assists from his middle linebacker spot. Pleasant Grove made the score 7-- 0 in the first quarter on Strasburg's plunge and quarterback Bred Framp-to- n and Layne Butt combined to kick the PAT. Butt then threw a 25 yard "strike" pass to Gary Jackson to give P.G. a lead. With little time remaining in the second uarter, Orem's passing game produced a long touchdown and the halftime score was 13-- Third quarter action was scoreless but a T.D. by Strasburg in the fourth quar-ter raised the score to 19-- 6 for the Vikes. Orem scored it's second T.D. as game time expired. Four Orem turnovers caused by the aggressive Viking de-fense helped decide the game's outcome. Big Kyle Secretan came up with two recovered fumbles and when Orem tried to pass, interceptions by Craig Walker, the game's leading tackier, and Strasburg, cut two Orem drives short.

When the Viking ship set sail for Orem, little chance for vic-tory was given them by some members of the community. This, however, failed to dim the team's enthusiasm and many of those who counted P.G. out before the kickoff, be-came instant supporters when the Vikes came home dragging the Tiger by the tail. Dale Wright led a grinding ground attack that produced the game's only score. In the second quarter Wright raced 50 yards on a trap play for the T.D. but high snap prevented the Vikes from attempting the P.A.T. Wright carried the ball 22 times for 144 yards, which was 24 yards more than the entire Orem team produced during the game. Although the offense got the winning points the game was "won" by the defensive unit. PG's front four, Carl Christen-sen- , Kay Swenson, Jay Rob-bin- s and Sam Taylor limited the Tigers to 34 yards rushing. When the Tigers attempted to pass, a great rush by end's Brad Hardy, Ted Karren and middle linebacker Joe Smith re-sulted in seven "sacks" of the Q.B. for a minus 41 yards. This pressure plus that from the front four enabled the Viking secondary to intercept two and hold Orem to 9 completions in 24 a ttempts. Kayle Gillman picked one off to stop) an Orem drive late in the secxnd quarter and Kelly Duke, playing his first varsity game, saved it with an inter-ception on the five yard line with less than two minutes to play. Pleasant Grove was forced to punt with 3:30 left to play and an errant snap gave the Tigers fantastic field position on the 19 yard line with ample time to score and win. The Viking defense put up a valiant stand and when the smoke cleared Duke had the ball and P.G. ran out the clock for a very sweet victory. Greg Carson, Brent Pulley, Brent Peterson, Tom Wood plus Gillman and Duke played well together as a defensive second-ary. Viking Coach Paul Gillespie who is an m High play-er, was especially happy with the team effort and vimtory. Statistics P.G.
