I Bingham Defeats Park City Saturday For State Title Bingham high school "Mighty Miners" were crowned state "B" champions Saturday at U. of U. stadium by virtue of their 14-- 6 victory over Park City. Bingham received the kick off but after two plays Bingham fumbled and Park City recover-ed on Bingham's 30-ya- line and before the fans had even settled themselves in the stands, after six plays scored when Joe Nich-ols, Park City back, went over standing up. Bingham had a hard time playing over the ice sheet that covered the stadium and breaks and bad punting helped Park City keep the Miners deep in their own territory. But mid-way in the second quarter Bailey Santlstevan Jr. got off a beau-tiful kick while standing on the 50-ya- line that rolled out of bounds on the Park City line. This was the turning point of the game. Park City was rush-ed and kicked out to the 33-ya-line and were given a penalty for holding. This put the ball on Park City's line. On the next rjlav. behind homi- - tiful blocking, Billy Boren sprint-e- d around his left end and scor-ed. Jack Knudsen was inserted and he kicked the extra point, putting the Miners in the lead 6. From here on out the Miners came to their own. The half end-ed with a 7-- 6 score- - In the third quarter Bingham was twice de-nied in their goalward thrusts. But Park City was rushed by a hard charging line which par-tially blocked two punts and for-ced the Park City kicker to con-tinually get off poor kicks. In the fourth quarter Bingham, af-ter playing in Park City terri-tory, took the ball on the 29-ya- rd line. Billy Boren picked up a first down on the 17. He then picked up 8 more yards. Bud Jones made it a first down on the line and two plays lateu Boren scored on an off tackle play. Knudsen was inserted and the extra point was allowed when Park City was off side. The score was now 14-- 6. The game ended with Santistevan intercepting a pass on Park City's line and Bingham hold-ing the ball until the final whistle. It was a great game for the Bingham Miners and their coach, who saw his team win his third state class B championship. The team was well coached and they won their title the hard way. All through the season they have stuck to a ground game and their great defensive play and hard, consistent blocking on offense has featured their efforts. Hundreds of Bingham fans were in the stands and flocked out onto the field and congratu-lated the team and their coach. It was a moment of pride for ev-ery Bingham follower who saw their team rise to great heights and come from behind to win. r VICTORY REVUE TO BE HELD DEC. 7 A victory bond show will be held Friday, December 7 at 8 p.m. at bingham high school auditorium, Copperton.

TWO KIKE MEN GIVEN R AWARDS Bingham volunteer fire depart-ment No. 1 honored John J- Cree-do- n and Cyrus Anderson at a turkey dinner Wednesday even-ing, when they became 20-ye-men. Mr. Creedon became a member of the department in October 1925 and Mr. Anderson in May 1!)25. Wilford H. Harris presented the 20-ye- certificates to the two men. Out of town guests at the din-ner were Veil Haws, Magna, president Utah State Firemen's association and Earl Newbold of! Magna. In charge of arrange-- j incuts were Mr. Karris, Clinton Robison and Ray Tatton. Irvin Stillman acted as master of cere-monies- Among the 20 year men present at the dinner were Jack Householder, president of the 20- - year club, Mr. Stillman, Bruce Ivie, Lon Rawlings, Bert Hock-ing, Tom Masters, Roy Nelson, Laurence West, John T West and Mi'l Christopherson. " Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Everyone was there. I mean at the championship game last Saturday. Again our Pep club showed the other high schools how it was done. Some of the Utah football players at the game said their club at the university could get some pointers from our girls. Nice going Miss Harris, another great coach. , Champions again, this makes the third time for Coach Bailey Saniistevan to win the state championship. 1939. 1941, 1945, besides winning the district title in 1938. 1939, 1940. 1941. 1943 and 1945. But in my esti-mation Bailey did the best job of his brilliant career this year, At the beginning of the sea-- i son it didn't look as though our team had much of a chance. But by hard work and fitting the pieces together like working a jig saw puzzle he put together a team that played together like a well oiled machine. Game by game you could see the improve-ment until in the title game they truly looked like champions. So hats off to a great team and a great coach. Two of Bingham's team made the Tribune all-stat- e eleven. Bor-on and Kite. Boren was a stand out. No questions asked. Billy will make every all-st- ar selec-tion. Kite had a tougher row to hoe. But the coaches picked him because of his steady play all year. Nice going boys. I see where "Doty" Bush's son Starley made the Big Seven all-st- ar at guard. Starlev looks like a great college prospect. Doty is remembered for his baseball playing for Gemmell. Had a groat time Saturday vis-iting with Los Coats of the Des-ere- t News, John Mooney of the Telegram and a number of coach-es- , Peterson, basketball coach at Utah tolls me Wyo. and BYU will have great teams this win-ter. Ike Armstrong was there looking over the seniors. Com-missioner Fred Tedesco sat with us during part of the second game. Fred liked the way this boy Zarkson of Granite threw that ball and he should know, he is rated one of the best passers in Utah history. "Spider" Morris, another form-er Utah great, passed comment on the Box Elder team. Every-one there was inquiring about Tommy McMullin's health, Tom-my is Bingham's popular high school principal. But to these fellows Tommy is remembered as a great basketball coach. He took Bingham high school teams to the state tournament for 13 straight years. Glad to report Tommy is back on the job. All eyes will be focused on the Army-Nav- y game this Saturday in Philadelphia- Army has a great team, one of the all time greats. A team headed by Blan-ehar- d and Davis operating be-hind about 1500 pounds of hu-man dynamite. That is a com-bination that is reall" tough. But in Navy they are meeting no part of a soft touch. A big fast line and one of the greatest set of backs in the country. Kelly last year's Notre Dame back is a sub. Gives you .some idea. President Truman was the only man able to get a ticket at this late date. So you know their will be a crowd. I like Army by three or four touch-downs. So until next week, . a good buy is a Victory Bond- - AL NEW HOSPITALIZATION PLAN PROPOSED For many years various hos-pitalization plans have been in-troduced in the United States. In more recent years a plan known as the "Blue Cross Plan" was introduced, which has boon uni-versally accepted throughout the United States and Canada. January 1, 1045, hospital ad-ministrators in Utah got together and organized the Blue Cross Plan in the intermountain area. The plan now has approximately 25,000 members with 15 member hospitals in Utah. This plan is open to all organized groups, provided at least 50'" of the group desire to subscribe to the plan. In Bingham Canyon the Bing ham Canyon hospital is foster-ing a group under that name- An invitation is extended to all or-ganized groups, as labor, indus-try, business, fraternal and com-munity organizations to join. The fee is 75c per month per individual subscriber and $1.50 per month for the family. All members of the family can have hospital protection under the Blue Cross Plan. BINGHAM-PAR- K CITY GAME by AL ABLETT The Bingham Miners became state champions of the B divis-ion by beating Park City 14 to 6 at the U. of U. stadium Saturday. Bingham spotted the Park City boys 6 points in the first quarter and things didn't look so good for the locals. The game had hardly gotten underway when Knudscn fumbled and Park City recovered on Bingham's d stripe; and for the first time this year Bingham's line failed to hold, as on five plays they had the ball on the line, on the sixth play they sent husky Joe Nichols crashing over for six big points. They tried a run-ning play for the extra point but it was smothered. The remain-der of the first quarter found Park City holding Bingham at bay and those six points began to loom awfully big. But in the second quarter Bing-ham got the break they had been playing for after being held on about the Park's d line. Santlstevan, who does the kick-ing when Knudsen isn't in the game, sent a towering punt down field that went out of bounds on the Summit's teams one .yard line. Murnin kicked from behind his goal line, traveled to the 32 but at this point Park was .caught holding and the penalty put the ball on their 18 yard line. Billy Boren, who had taken Knudsen's place at tail back hit the line for 2 yards on the first play and then he showed why he is one of the most feared runners in high school football- Taking the ball on an end run around his own left sde he scampered all the way to the Promised land. Jack Knudsen was sent in to kick for the extra decimal and he did, putting his team ahead 7 to 6 at the half. The third stanza was a see-sa-battle that saw Bingham knock-ing at the door on two different occasions but a gallant Park City line held them at bay. But that second touchdown was as sure as death and taxes and in the fourth quarter it happened. Park got its back to the wall when Schultz. Bingham's all-sta- te con- - ter broke through and blocked Murnin's kick on the eleven yard line as the third quarter ended. The teams switched sides and Bingham took the ball to the 5- - yard line where again the Park line held. They kicked out to a-- 1 bout the twenty and with Knud- - sen carrying the Miners went to the three where they failed to make first down by inches. Bor-- 1 en was again sent into the game and they gave this little atom bomb the ball and he exploded the ball to the line, Jones took it for one try and then the mighty mite on two tries crossed the double stripe and Knudsen again told it through the cross ' bars to make the score read 14 to 6 and Bingham's gallant Min-ers, the new state champs. O RETURNED VETERANS HOLD ELECTION WED. Sixty-seve- n members of. the newly formed "Returned Veter-ans Club" elected Gates P Chris-tense- n president at their Wed-nesday evening meeting at the Civic Center.

FLASHES i by Jim Abplanalp i It won't be long now until Christmas, and the BUAA is al-ready preparing some special ev-- t ents for the holiday season. Last Friday the association directors called a meeting to discuss and arrange entertainment you'll all enjoy for Christmas and New Year's. With the cooperation of Gem-me- ll club, BDAA voted to put on dances for both occasions, Entertainment of this sort has long been the intention of our association and we mean to do a good job of it. The directors also voted in fa-vor of appropriating $50 to be used by the Junior Chamber of Commerce in their street and house lighting project for the Yuletide season. Plans to help finance an ac-tivity by the Returned Veterans were approved. Just when the boys will hold this, we don't know, but it's going to be good. Watch lor further announce-ment about our gala Xmas and New Years dances. The ladies and mens bowling teams both split their series at the Ritz and Southeast alleys this week. The girls remained in second place in their league, While the men dropped to third, but only a game from second spot. The local bowlers have been keeping the alleys hot in prep-aration for the Salt Lake City tournament, which runs from December 1 to 9 at the Ritz al- - leys. Frank Zaccaria, last year's champ in the singles event w ill be out to defend his title, and if Zac is hot, he's just apt to do it. Nearly all of the Gemmell league bowlers have entered, the tourney so don't be surprised to see some of them bring back the bacon. Good luck boys, hope their all strikes! PAULINE BARKLE TO PLAY LEAD IN COMEDY When the Westminster Players produce their annual fall play, a merry, folksy comedy called "Papa Is All", Miss Pauline Bar- - kle, of Copperton, will be it's leading lady. The date for this college production has been set as November 30; it will be stag-ed at the Ladies Literary Club in Salt Lake City. Miss Barkle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Barkle, already has two important roles to her credit in Westminster produc-- I tions and her part in the forth-coming comedy is destined to be a success. She plays the part of Emma, the fiery daughter of the family who leads the entire fa--i mily in its revolt against Papa, who is a narrow minded, selfish individual. The role affords her plenty of opportunity to use her dramatic talent. O F. H. BECKSTEAD RITES HELD WEDNESDAY Funeral services for Florence H.
