For the Smclterites, a win tonight is a "must" if the Hilltop lads still have aspirations of being a part of the state Class B tournament classic at the of Utah fieldhouse in March. A victory for the currently "torrid" Cowboys would assure them of no less than a second place tie with Tooele, depending on how well the White Buffaloes entertain Cyprus tonight at Tooele. If the Pirates can stage a repeat performance of their first round defeat over the Buffs and the Cowboys can squeeze past Murray as they did in the first round of play, the region two fight for first and second spots will concern Just two teams Grantsville and Bingham. However, should the Buffaloes and Smelterites turn the tables in their second meeting with Cyprus and Grantsville, three teams in the Jordan Division would be tied for second place, forcing a hot battle right down to the wire. Much, of course, depends on Bingham's showing against Judge Memorial and how well the Miners fare with the Smelterites next week at Murray. At Magna last Friday, the Smelterites and Pirates battled right down to the final second before liiuripy Vrjk the game by two slender points, Murray had to fight off a determined last quarter rally by the Pirates before they posted their region two victory. Jim Barthel and Marlow Bowen were top men for the winners with 11 and 9 points respectively. Jack Birch. Uni-vvrsi- Harry Grass Sr. Operated furniture store here until 1948. . . . Harry Grass Sr. .
