Show r DEVILS DROP THRILLER T0PR0V0 CLUB The Springville Red Devils dropped a 29-28 decision to the Provo Bulldogs in an extra-period game played here last Friday night. The game was the most thrilling and brilliantly played game seen here this year. Both teams exhibited bautiful basketball basket-ball with smooth-working offenses offens-es and defenses. The fast-breaking clubs kept spectators on their feet throughout the entire contest, especially es-pecially in the closing minutes of the game. The first quarter and most of the second quarter saw both teams clicking and the score ran on even terms until Provo, led by big Joe Weight, slipped in three consecutive baskets to take a 20-12 20-12 half-time lead. The Red Devils, paced by Captain Johnnie Sav-ag Sav-ag and Ray Miller, who played an outstanding defensive game, came back strong in the third and fourth quarters to hold the Provo team to 6 points while collecting 14 themselves. The regulation period ended at 26 all. In the extra period, Provo tossed in a charity throw and Captain Savage Sav-age dunked in a neat one-handed shot from out near mid-court to put the locals in the lead. Just seconds before the final whistle, Joe Weight tipped in a shot for the visitors to grab off the laurels laur-els of a beautifully played game. The loss for the Red Devils was their second in 9 games. The preseason pre-season scores follow: Springville vs. Lincoln 37 26 33 20 Springville vs. Am. Fork 37 27 30 36 Springville vs. B. Y.
