Show SPLENDID BALLY . SAVES THE SAINTS "Provo can play thrco halves without calling on her subs," such was the haughty haugh-ty reply of the academy coach when asked at the beginning of the second half If he would make any changes in tho lineup line-up of his team. Probably tho coach was not alone In holding this opinion, for the score was then 13 to 17 In Provo's favor, but, as usual, the Saints made their famous fa-mous stand, and won out by the dcclslvo score of 2S to 20. In the first half both teams played about evenly, despite the fact that Provo had the better of the 'acoro. Adams Is the man who Is entitled to the credit for this big academy score, for fivo times during tho first half did he toss the ball into the basket, and his quick and clover passes made possible a number of tho others Ho Is tho best man on Provo'a team and has few If any peers in tho State. Oourley, tho right forward on the Academy team, played a fnst and furious game. He scored threo baskets during the game, all of them In the first half. Chamberlain Is a good guard and succeeded suc-ceeded In holding Stanton down to two baskets during tho entire game, but ho Is Inclined to foul his man by over-crowd- Christy and Stanton wero tho stars for tho Saints, and played fast ball throughout, through-out, Christy's guarding was a feature, for ho not only held his own man down to a kooso egg but followed the ball all over tho floor, and repeatedly stopped tho Provoltcs from scoring. O. Lund did well at pitching from the foul line, but was slightly outwitted by Gourley, who scored threo baskets over him during the first half. At tho beginning of tho second half, both sides fought fiercely. Tho Provo-ltes Provo-ltes were determined not to bo beaten and fought like tigers to got the first basket, but the Saints knew too well that this would be fatal. For a long time neither side scored, and it looked very cloudy for Ihe Saints. Finally Lund scored ono point from the foul line, then Christy scored two points by a clever field throw, and Smith redeemed himself by doing likewise. The Saints were now one to tho good, but the outcome was still doubtful. The ball was sent flying again and again from ono goal to the other, but the Pro-voltes Pro-voltes seemed to havo lost their good luck and In vain did Gourley. Chamberlain and even Adams try to mako tho telling basket bas-ket . Both sides scored two on fouls, and in the itnenso excitement which followed Hamblln middcnly shot the ball Into tho basket. The cheering had not ceased when Stanton unexpectedly scored another anoth-er basket by a pretty overhand throw. The Provoltca tried In vain to rush matters mat-ters during the few remaining seconds, but the half closed without their scoring ono field basket.
