Show Onion Wins Big One By Beating !Jie 16- To Send League Into Tie; lite Quarterback Suffers Broken k There was celebrating in Cougar-ville Cougar-ville last Friday afternoon and evening eve-ning when an inspired Union football foot-ball team held their arch rivals from over Vernal way scoreless and racked up 16 1 precious points to send the Region Five grid race into a three-way tie. Friday's contest was simply too much 'Union' line as Coach Ted Heath's Cougars stopped the Ute single wing formation in their tracks every time they tried to make yardage through the line. The fact that Uintah failed to mate a single first down for three quarters indicates how that Union forward wall held the Utes. It wasn't until the opening of the fourth quarter that Uintah's new coach, Leo Conk, opened up with a series of single and double reverse re-verse plays, was his team able to make enough yardage for a first down, and they piled up five as they made their only threat to score during the game. UNION KICKED OFF The Cougars lost the toss and and started the game by kicking off to the Utes, who returned the ball to the 29 yard line. Union held and Co-Captain Jerry Cut-shaw Cut-shaw kicked to Co-Captain Clayton Clay-ton Huber, who returned to the 50-yard line. After making a first down, the Utes held and Jackie Bailey punted. However, Uintah was penalized for holding and Un-1 ion was given the ball on the Ute 18. Bailey and Huber made 5 yards each for a first h vanced the ball to th BaUey went over ? ? touchdown.
