Show Wardell Men Eke 22-19 Win Over East Having already equalled their 1940-41 .500 average, "B" team cagers will attempt to boost that mark when they clash with West high school's juniors on the bard woods at the Deseret Gym tonight. In their first game with the Panthers, Coach Warden's team won easily. The game was,, however, how-ever, a rough and inconsistent affair, af-fair, marked with wild shots and numerous fouls. Substituting was frequent for the Southerners as they poured through 21 points to top West's 14. Wayne Cooper came through as the big surprise of the night as he led all scorers with a total of six points. Shiraishi played an all-around game for the West siders. Cub Rally Downs East A much closer tilt materialized when the Cubs tangled with East. The Leopards, determined to salvage sal-vage at least one of three games for the Eciders, led the South underclassmen un-derclassmen all the way up to the final frame. Rallying, the Cubs oozed out a 22-19 victory. Gerhart Bar&nick deserves mention men-tion for hitting the hoop to put the Southerners out in front for their last-minute win. Empey, Lund and McClelland played a smooth floor game and Rex Ballard Bal-lard was high point man with seven points. Rough praying is a characteristic of "B" squads, as evidenced by 33 fouls in the Easj; game. A 0-0 quarter-time score in the same contest con-test exemplified the difficulty the younger players had in sinking their shots. Improved Quintet Promised Mentor Tate Wardell has been polishing his players during their week's lapse from conference play, and a much improved squad is expected ex-pected to take the floor tonight. With the exception of Darrell Lund and Clair Empey, co-captains, the squad will probably sustain sus-tain several changes in the lineup. line-up. Starting the first game with West were Ballard and Barsnick, forwards; Empey, center, and Lund and Marchant, guards. The East game saw Cooper and Cannon Can-non start at forwards, Empey take over at center, and Lund and Dave McClelland handle the guard positions. posi-tions. Wardell may start either of these combinations, or a variation of them, tonight. Reserve players still are to prove their worth. Providing the Cubs can take the advantage tonight, heavy substitution is possible. |
