The six foot 210 pound fullback was met time and time again with vicious head on tackles only to go over the Viking defender for another two yards. A local college will do well to offer him a football scholarship. by Jack Hill It was Scott Rebers power running against Pleasant Grove's trick plays last Wed-nesday in Cedar City. "Playing off" to get into the State 3-- quarter-finals- , P.G. met Dixie on the field of College of Southern Utah in what was the most exiciting game of the year. A fumbled pitch on P.G.s second possession gave Dixie the ball on the Viking seven yard line. On fourth and goal, Reber powered in for the games first score. The try for two was stopped by Viking Mark Ewell and Tom Strasburg. i s tackle on Jackson, and behind a wall of Viking blockers raced the remaining 85 yards to tie the score. Paul Hebbert kicked the first of four P.A.T.s to give P.G. a 7-- 6 lead. Reber, who gained 134 yar-ds during the game, put Dixie back in front with 9:22 remaining in the second period. Once more the try for two points was stopped. The Flyers forced P.G. to punt and on first down, quar-terback Read hit Segmiller with a 30 yard pass to the Viking 20. Reber carried twice for 12 yards, Frei added three andReber scored his third T.D. from five yards out. Gary Allred, on his knees in the end zone, caught the two point pass from Ence. Jackson returned the kick-of- f 20 yards to the 40. Then the vikings began their best sustained drive of the game. Strasburg caried for 12, then eight more. Frampton turned the corner for seven on a keeper, Craig Walker added four and Strasburg powered for five to the six yard line. Frampton "checked off" twice at the line, gaining first four and then scoring. Hebberts P.A.T. brought the Vikes to 14-2- 0 with :38 seconds left in the half. IMPOSSIBLE HAPPENS A clipping penalty on the kick-of- f moved Dixie half the distance to the goal and on first down, the impossible happened! Read hit Allred on the "fly" pattern. Allred took the perfect pass in stride and out ran the Viking defenders for an 86 yard score. The "bomb" made it 26-1- 4 when the team went to the locker room for halftime. The defenses controled the game for the first nine minutes of the third period but with 3:05 on the clock, Frei powered in on a sweep to give Dixie a 34-1- 4 lead, set-ting the stage for a Viking comeback. P.G.s first pass of the four-th period was a beauty, a half-bac- pass from Strasburg to Greg Johnson. Johnson outfought a Dixie defender at the 25, turned the speed on and scored on a play that covered 57 yards. Heb-bert did it again. P.G.s defense got the ball back. Craig Walker and Mark Ewell each reovered a Dixie fumble during the game and Johnson intercepted a pass, plays that characterized the fine defensive effort put forth by the defensive team. Frampton went to the air with five miutes to play, hit-ting Russ Robinson with a 15 yard completion and a 10 yard toss to Nathan Carroll. HOOK AND LA TERAL The Vikes got 40 yards on a perfectly executed "hook and lateral." Robinson made the catch on a 10 yard curl, was hit immediately and as he was nearly on the ground, lateraled to Carroll who carried to the 16. Frampton then "drilled" a 16 yard T.D. pass to Brent Keetch. Hebberts toe made it 28-3- 4 with 2:37 to play and the P.G. fans excitedly waited to see if the Vikings could get the ball again. Clyde Huntsman, Ty Har-ding, Casey Monson and Kirk Tanner lead the charge that held Dixie to third down and eight. Tanners crunching tackles were right out of the "how to do it book." Ray Odett, Dixie head coach, crossed the defense KURT CHRISTESON Longest scoring run of the year, a 93 yard ef-fort on a kick-of- f against Dixie. On the kick-of- f, Dixies Allred kicked the ball 57 yar-ds to Gary Jackson at the three. Jackson headed right to what looked to be disaster . . .no blocking! Just as he was "belted" at the 20 by two Flyer tacklers, Jackson pitched the ballto Kurt Christeson. Christeson gave ground, back to the 15, ran right past two Dixie defen-ders who were cheering their teammates for the great FOOTBALL STATS FOR SEASON Seasons Itecord 6 wins 5 losses P.G.

The taunts may return to haunt the Cougar fans next year. An Examination to the Sundevil lineup shows only two seniors in the starting 22. You can be sure that State will be looking forward to playing BYU in Tempe next year. FOOTBALL NOTES by Jack Hill Taking 110 students to another city and staying over night. Sounds a little frightening ? That's what I thought but it seemed to go over without a hitch. The band, pep club, cheerleaders and radio statiticians were model students. Everybody had a great time on the trip to Cedar City and those students who made the trip are to be congratulated for their fine behavior! KICKER Rick Harrison. Remember that name. Last Friday in a 2-- quarterfinal game played on the P.G. field, Rick kicked field goals of 38 and 40 yards to lead Grantsville to a 13-1- 2 upset win over number two ranked Juab. Earlier this season, Harrison booted a 47 yarder to edge Lehi 16-1- The best news yet, especially for his coach, (which happens to be his Dad) Rick is only a Sophomore!!

FUGAL Notice of Public Hearing Public Hearing The city council will meet Tuesday, November 16, 1976 in the Pleasant Grove city hall to review two changes to Chapter 7 (zoning ordinance) of the city code. The two items to be discussed and the times for each are: 6:30 p.m. a proposed addition to the general provisions of the zoning ordinance which will regulate height and locatrions of fences, hedges and walls on property lines. The provisions of the ordinance require no fence, wall or hedge in the front yard to exceed three feet except for non view ob-scuring fences which may be four feet high and in rear yard fences, wall and hedges shall not to exceed six feet unless approved by the board of adjustments and subject to the purchase of a building permit. Single shrub planting shall not constitute a hedge if the closest distance between the foliage of any two plants is and remains five feet. Sec-tion four of the existing or-dinance is amended to provide for a three foot fence at intersections. The present ordinance provides for no fence exceeding two feet to be installed. 6:45 p.m. a proposed ad-dition to the general requirements of the zoning ordinance which would require that on all new con-struction that curb, gutte and sidewalk be installei within one year from issuano of the building permit. It has been noted that when homes are allowed to be built on unimproved streets that many problems arise when the street improvements are subsequently installed. It is felt that by requiring these improvements that the road design will have been deter-mined and the problems of matching the road will be eliminated. Copies of the proposed or-dinances are avilable for review at the city hall. All in-terested citizens are invited to attend this meeting and express their opinions. Mark Johnson City Recorder Publ.
