He re mained in the tree and managed to ease himself to the ground after tne injury. His brother-in-laGlade Peterson and Fred Peter son a close neighbor, were on hand to assist him. They had a rope tied to the limb and were attempting to guide it from striking the house. He was taken immediately to the office of Dr. Boyd J.

Mr. Tripp is well known as a mail carrier and employee at the local post office. R. J. Smith Named Vice President of Wildlife Group Showing wins over Parowan, South Sevier and Wasatch while thriller to South losing a 39-3- 8 Summit, Lehi's Pioneers notched an enviable fourth place in the annual Class "B" tourney held for the first time this year at the BYU fieldhouse. n classic Entering the for the first time in nine years, the Purple and White showed a balanced scoring attack and the poise of a veteran performer in winning the plaudits of the record crowds. Drawing Parowan in the opening round of play, the Pioneers came through with a comparativewin over John Benly easy 49-4- 1 son and crew. In the second round the Lehi squad met the hustling South Summit lads in a nearmidnight fracas that saw the aggressive Wildcats wrest a 8 win from the Pioneers in the waning seconds of play. Inability to connect with foul pitches was a factor in the Pioneer downfall. Usually accurate, the best the L. K. Peterson charges could do was 8 out of 25. The fortunes of the draw pitted Lehi against South Sevier in the opening afternoon game Friday. A dead-tire- d Pioneer quint edged South Sevier's Ram 35-3Against a tall and talented Wasatch Wasp team Saturday, Lehi reboundedyfrom their listless Friday performance to slap the 4 Wasps in a game to nab fourth place. Boyd Wathen, Russell Anderson and Brent Dorton pretty well took care of scoring chores, while Lee Fox and John Jolley did yoeman work on the boards. Don't overlook the part played by Glade Peterson, Knollin Haws, Ralph Johnson, Gary Evans and Max Scott. Rounding out the squad were Donald Nielsen and Don Wright. Balance and team play characterized the Lehi success. Boyd Wathen was picked on the Provo Herald, KOVO, Deseret News and Tribune The versatile playmaker was a big factor in the team's success. Rating honorable mentions on several selections were Russell Anderson and Brent Dorton. The lower bracket, supposedly the weaker of the two, won first, third, fourth and fifth places. From the upper bracket only American Fork placed in the first five slots; the Cavemen ranked second behind Union. Townspeople and high school enthusiasts alike supported the team in large numbers. Complete with band and color, Lehi's cheering section was second to none. A d pat on the back is deserved by Coach L. K. Peterson and his squad, picked by early season dopesters to finish in fourth place in Alpine division play. Next year's problem will be that of building.
