AFTER THE dust had cleaied the Utah high schoolers had won both contests in relatively easy fashion. Maybe the promoters of the events wanted to get the crowds there, or maybe they honestly felt the Arizona squads were that good and just played bad. The basketball contest was all Utah from the outset, the only time the Arizonians showed any signs of catching up was early in the second period when a new group of Utah players were finding their legs. PREVIEWS had billed this game as the quick Arizona team going against the taller Utahns. Then when Danny Vranes came up lame the experts team a gave the real good chance to win. As it turned out, if Danny Vranes had played the game would probably have been a joke. The Utah guards, Brightons Brian McCleary in par- ticular, did outstanding jobs in shutting out the drives of the Arizona backcourt men. When they did penetrate and got off the shot, the big men, led by Laytons Johnny Gilbert, started clocking the shots. Gilbert pulled off some key rebounds and blocked several shots in a few minutes span and showed why he is considered a premier pivot man. GOING FOR the blocked shots, got Johnny into foul trouble but he still went after the block rather than lay back and let the Arizonians score. Utahs big men, or should we say Provo High big men. Garret and Neilsen had things their way the whole game. Either scored at will as the smaller Arizona players couldn't compete with their heighth. CLEARFIELDS former star running-bac- Robbie k Richeson showed the hometown folks why the University of Utah is so high on him. Robbie ran well and also showed he can catch coming out of the backfield. The game statistics werent really that far apart but the score was and thats what counts. The Utah quarterbacks looked every bit as good as the highly touted Arizona signal caller. The smaller Ute linemen seemed to control the line, maybe the people will start to realize that Utah has some good athletes. ALL things considered, the events were great as was the chanty which sponsors the annual games. The games were entertaining and it was great to see the hometown players win both games.
