Coach Shaw, who recently moved to Ben Lomond after coaching for several years at Mount Ogden Junior High, emphasized that region competition could develop into an extremely hard-fought battle, since nearly every team appears as a tough contender. He pointed out that this year’s Scottie team will be a well-experienced group. Lettermen Glade Wimmer, Judd King and Doug Kump, along with junior Dennis Martin, should push the fast-breaking attack which the Scots plan to use.

The Scots bowed out by walloping Skyview 346 in a one-sided battle fought at Smithfield. The Scots, out to revenge last year’s upset at the hands of the Bobcats, completely tromped over the hapless ’Cats. Skyview startled the Scots late in the first quarter when the Bobcats recovered a loose ball on BL’s 30-yard line. On a series off line plunges, the Bobcats scored to take a 6-0 lead. The Scots quickly wiped out this deficit when fullback Dave Schoss ran the kickoff back to Skyview’s 30-yard line. Two plays later, junior quarterback Rick Younger scrambled around left end all the way to pay dirt. Doug “The Toe” Kump booted the extra point, giving the Scots a lead which they never gave up. A few minutes later, the Scots roared down the field again. End Gregg Taggart grabbed a quick pass from Younger over the middle and romped untouched into the end zone. Kump’s kick again split the uprights, and the Scots led 14-6. After recovering a fumble, the Scots again marched into Bobcat territory. Senior halfback Lanny Rasmussen, playing his last game for the plaid, churned for good yardage on several carries and finally dove in for another Scottie touchdown. Coach Allen Kap then began to send in a steady stream of reserves. Using a single wing offense, the Scots moved steadily into Skyview territory on a series of line plunges and counters. Dick Jardine, Jerry Staley, and Gary Nicholas carried the ball for good gains, and Jardine capped the drive with his fifth touchdown in as many games, a three-yard plunge off-tackle. Skyview threatened early in the fourth quarter when they drove clear to Ben Lomond’s 10-yard line. The drive sputtered, however, when Art Suekawa intercepted a pass to keep the Scots out of trouble. With time running out, the Scots took to the air. On the first play from scrimmage, quarterback Younger fired a quick pass to Glade Wimmer. Wimmer sped down field for the game’s final touchdown, eluding several would-be tacklers en route to pay dirt. The final score, which read 34-6 for the Scotties, gave Ben Lomond a 7-2 win-loss record for the season. This was the best in school history, and it showed clearly the outstanding performance put in by the coaches and players of the fighting, friendly Boy’s $32.50, Newgate Open Girl’s 2431 $28.50 Washington Center, 3675 Wall an account todayl 3528-52 & JEWELER 8B }
