Show Sports Here and There by Al A blett Everyone was there. I mean at the championship game last Saturday. Again our Pep club ! showed the other high schools I how it was done. Some of the Utah football players at the game j 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 estimation esti-mation Bailey did the best job ; of his brilliant career this year, i At the beginning of the sea-i son it didn't look as though our team had much of a chance. But i 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 I game you could see the improvement 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-state eleven. Boron Bor-on and Kite. Boren was a stand out. No questions asked. Billy i will make every all-star selection. 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-star all-star at guard. Starlev looks like a great college prospect. Doty is remembered for his baseball playing for Gemmell. Had a groat time Saturday visiting vis-iting with Los Coats of the Des-eret Des-eret News, John Mooney of the Telegram and a number of coach-es, coach-es, Peterson, basketball coach at Utah tolls me Wyo. and BYU will have great teams this winter. win-ter. Ike Armstrong was there looking over the seniors. Commissioner 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 former form-er Utah great, passed comment on the Box Elder team. Everyone Every-one there was inquiring about Tommy McMullin's health, Tommy 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-Navy game this Saturday in Philadelphia- Army has a great team, one of the all time greats. A team headed by Blan-ehard Blan-ehard and Davis operating behind be-hind about 1500 pounds of human hu-man dynamite. That is a combination 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 all-Am-eriean 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 touchdowns. touch-downs. So until next week, . a good buy is a Victory Bond- AL |
