C. jumped into the lead right off the reel in the second half when Jones and TJrie tossed in two field goals. Cornia for Boxelder tied the count with :i foul, and stiil another successful free try by TJrie put the Cedar City boys once more out in front. Leigh added two more points with a field basket, and gave the B. A. C. men a lead which their opponents were never able to overcome.

He was also high point maker with ten to his credit. G. Watkins held the other B. A C. forward, for-ward, Urie, to one goal from the field.
