Vikings Drop Springville Win Tournament Berth Five valiant Vikings shot their way into the Triple A tournament Tuesday night by blasting Springville 61-4- 8 in the Viking gym. Coach Keith Allred' s team played one of the best games of the year to down the league-leadin- g Devils. The win gave Pleasant Grove an automatic tournament berth and a fourth place finish in the red hot Re-gion VI race. Springville opened the game in a man for man defense and the Vikings quickly jumped to a 10-- 4 lead. After a time out Springville went into a zone and the Vikings wisely played catch with their four-corn- of-fense. This forced Springville back to a man to man defense. The Devils tied the game at 24-2- 4 but never saw the lead again during the entire ball game. Vikingc center Greg Bean was super on the boards as he gathered in 14 for the night. Colby Adamson must have been using invisible handcuffs as he held the Region's second leading scorer, Greg Pabst, to just six points. The Region's leading scorer, Wayne Allred, hit 8 of 16 and two free throws to end the night with 18 points. Pleasant Grove's next game will be Thursday, March 8 at 2:30 p.m. in the University of Utah special events center, the No. 1 team from Re-gion V, probably Davis.

They come through and ask to top top your trees for a price. At this time they tell you that someone else will be by to pick up the limbs they have cut. Sad to relate, no one comes to pick up these limbs and cit-izens will have to haul them away themselves. We warn you to be careful in dealing with these people. If you do have them top your trees, be sure the cuttings are hauled off before you pay them, or better still, do not deal with them at all. City Council of PI.
