The Lions broke the Bulldogs back after the intermission with two quick baskets at the start of the third stanza. LaMar Twede hit his second long one and Dick Haimer fanned the breeze with a shot from With this the Lions were ahead and stayed there. Ross Montague was going with fury this period and racked up 7 points on 2 field goals and 3 charity tosses. Dennis Dixon continued his mastery of the bankboards and added 3 markers to the Payson side of the ledger. The shooting of LaMar Brown gave Provo hope.

These boys were elected by votes of this years squad members. Madsen was a regular on this years team holding down the center slot. A vicious tackier r, he was namand able teams as ed on several an understudy to Lncoln's tenter Edwards, and received honorable mention on the teams. Sherol Wilson, the other elechalfback tee, was a semi-regulan this years squad. He woiked under the shadow of Max Hill or he probably would have been a regular. Wilson is a twisting, g type of back who one of the most into developed on the capable squad. With these boys carrying the burden of leadership theie will be a total of seven letteimen returning to carry the Green and white hopes next season. Besides Madesn there is Dick Taylor who was regular this year.

With 2 minutes to go three charity throws were put in to ice the second victory of the year for the Lions. The defensive work of Twede on Brown was important in the victory. The entire team made it piactically impossible for the Bulldogs to get the ball into the court the last quarter intercepting passes which dampened Provos spirits and scoring chances. The backboard work of Dennis Dixon left little to desire as the sophomore controlled both boards. LaMar Brown was runner-u- p Montague Tight Games Mark H. S.

The Lions will be out to avenge an eailier defeat from the hands of the Lincoln Tigers, on the Orem school floor on Fuday night. Reports are that this will be hard to do if LaVell Edwards stays as hot as he has been in previous In the first encounter games. here Edwards potted 11 points, and bettered his average with 14 against Tooele. Jack Ferguson has caught fire in several games and averages around ten points per game. Ralph Willett gave notice that he is a capable scorer when he netted eleven markers against Tooele. An indication of the strength of Tooele can be found from the game between them and Lincoln which the Tigers won by four points. Coach Mel Briggs Lincoln Tigers will be strong against the Lions and with Leo Ferguson and Jack Boulter to round out the quintet the Payson five will be to come out on top. On Saturday night the Lions encounter the very strong Cyprus team. They are coached by Sumner Hale and annually have a strong team. Their strength is indicated by their showing against Provo High Bulldogs The always strong Bulldogs were glad to come out of the fray with a victory over the Pirates There are two men on the Pirate squad well over six feet tall, so the Lions must anticipate a very tilt.

But dont let anyone tell you that Haughton wasnt one of the greatest coaches of all time. I couldnt place a coach above him. Then I began to remember a few things about Haughton back around 1915 in his contest with Yale. I happened to mention the fact that Yale had a big, fast, line. I only wish they were twice as fast, Haughton said. Well let em and then cut em down. through That was the way it happened.

Five minutes for this 20 15 minutes minutes for that for something else. He knew exactly what his team needed. Not a minute was over wasted. Even in practice no Harvard player ever walked on the field. He had to run. "Football is all action," Haughton said. "You dont walk in any game. POR SAI Bldg. I Payson.

"I think we are overplaying football at Harvard, President Lowell told him once. "I agree with you, Haughton said. "Too much publicity. Lets bar all football writers from the field. Lowell said O. K. It was exactly what Haughton wanted and so did most of the other coaches. Only Haughton got away with It. Football writers today spill nothing. It was different 30 years ago, especially when a flock of Bostons football writers were Dartmouth men. Haughton was the one who supplied rough, yellow gloves for his Harvard team against "Speedy" Rush's Princeton squad.
