Tied at 14 at the end of the fourth quarter, overtime added extra suspense to the tension and excitement. It began to rise with the introduction of the royalty in the pre- game show. The fans were further enthused by a special appearance of Darrin Gardner in Ute costume riding a trusty steed. When asked why he did it, Darrin commented, I ap- preciated all the support they gave us in bas- ketball last year and wanted to do something for the football team. The team responded to the spirit, jumping out into a 14-0 lead at the half. It looked like the Homecoming jinx was finally lifted. But a fired up Tooele squad came roaring back to tie 14-14 at the end of the fourth quarter. The game went into sudden death overtime. Each team had 4 plays to score from the 10. Uintah scored on a touch down pass from Smuin to Merkley. The Utes then, tried a 2-point conversion which was stopped. The Buffs scored and the hope of a victorious Homecoming was blown-away until next year. The licorice race provided tun entertainment at Pep Rally.

TEIE HI I I I HI SPACES HI I I Uintah's rush job of a Homecoming week slipped in and started itself rolling on Monday the 17th. Throughout the week everyone could find them- selves staying up late to decorate, splashing in the mud, yelling their hearts out at the pep rally, or just sitting back and watching things go by. The highlight of the week's activities came on Wednesday after- noon with the rebirth of the once extinct mud bowl. Frustrated Juniors and Seniors took their aggressions out on their opponents, their teamates. Dr. Murphy and Mr. Caldwell, and even a few innocent bystand- ers. After the slop and crud had been cleaned up everyone hoped that the mud bowl was here to stay. With Juniors dying of hay fever, and the Good- wrench people O.D.ing on junk food, float building had many ups and downs, not to mention the road it took place on. Through the activities, kids got a chance to really get involved and participate. The dance on Saturday night put an end to what certainly was a unique week. Ute fever spread throughout the halls of Uintah and a few of the lucky ones even caught IT! Underdog Jolynn Jackson nets 1st attendant. Dean Oaks adds final touch to Goodwrench float.
