TOOELE TRAVELS TO BMTONIGHT Region Two Jordan District Won Lost Pet.

Bingham Miners won from the Davis Darts 45-2- 8 here February 13 and last Friday the Tooele Buffs overcame the Kaysville crew 37-3- 4. This would indicate that Bingham has power to hold onto the third place position they now have in region two standings and should have little difficulty in the encounter with Tooele .to-night on the home floor start-ing times, 7 p. m. and 8 p. m. However, supporters of the high school casaba team know from experience that a game cannot be counted "won" until the final gun makes jubilance safe for the winners. A good crowd of the Miners' supporters is expected to watch the team move closer to a chance for a tournament berth by over-coming Tooele. Basketball spotlight tonight is on Jordan and Granite, fighting it out for the district title. The leaders are two full games ahead of Bingham and Murray, both teams being practically assured of positions in the tournament. Murray and Bingham each face Tooele and Grantsville in the two games .remaining of the schedule. If the dopesters are right, Murray and Bingham will be tied and will meet a third time this year, in a playoff to meet the runner-u- p of Summit district, the winner to enter the annual state high school tourney. To date Bingham has bowed to Murray twice and Jordan once. Tooele upset Murray in an early season meeting. Others getting the nod over the Smelt-erite- s were Granite and Jordan.
