The first game bogini at 7 p.m. and the second game at 8:00 p.m. This will be the last league game of the B division schedul-e- In last Friday's game at Grants-vill- e the Miners lost to the Cow-boys, putting the Cowboys into a tie for first place in the Jordan B division high school race. This was the Miners first setback of the season, the score 32-2- 1. After six straight victories the Miners were completely hog-tie- d Friday. They were held to just three field goals in the first half and completely shutout from the field in the third period. Grantsville took a 7-- 3 lead at the quarter and had doubled the score to 14-- 7 at the half. At the third quarter the count was 21-1- 1 for Grantsville and although Bingham tried hard to cut loose with one of their customary late rallies, it fell far short of even threatening the Cowboys. Richard Johnston turned in a great performance for the win-ner on the guard line while Don and Farrell Sandberg sparkled on offense. Knudsen tied with the Sandbergs for scoring honors with 10 points.

The topic of traffic violations was discussed and it was the recommendation of the council, that all violators will be hailed into court. The first step in a vigorous traffic safety program is to insure court cooperation. With that, it is possible to carry on an effective enforcement cam-paign. The traffice accident toll of lives in Utah in 1945 exceed-ed that of 1944 approximately 45 per cent and it is expected to reach an even greater toll m 1946 unless measures are taken to prevent this. It will be the duty of all pub-lic spirited citizens and educat-er- s to join the program and to assist the local traffic safety council, composed of E. J. House-holder, Elliott W. Evans, Harold I W. Nielsen, J. D. Porter, Fay Mitchell, R. J. Contratto and Dr. F. E. Straup, and the city police with their campaign. Pedestrians are also cautioned to observe ordinary precautions and will be held accountable, Mothers and fathers are likewise asked to educate their young-- ; sters on traffic dangers and to see that tiny children are not al-- j lowed to wander the streets by themselves. The speed limit in Bingham Canyon is twenty (20) miles per hour except in restricted zones. The speed limit in the restricted zones is less than 20 miles and motorists should watch for the signs designating them. WON'T YOU HELP MAKE THIS A SAFER TOWN IN WHICH TO LIVE?

FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp They say anything can happen in prep basketball, and it usually does. Grantsville Cowboys gave the local boys a sound trouncing last Friday night and well de-served the win. The Miners were without the services of their spark plug, Billy Boren, which may have made a difference. The rugged Cowboys must be given credit for their win, by superior shooting and the best passing attack shown by any team in the league this year. Tonight, Friday, March 1, winds up the regular league schedule with Bingham play-ing the Tooele Buffaloes at Copperton. Last time these teams met. the Miners won a thriller in the last seconds 32-3- and this game promises to be another ding-don- g affair. BDAA members just present your cards at the door. Be sure and get there early if you want a seat. First game starts at 7:00 p.m Looking Ahead Under the present circumstan-ces, the activities of the Bingham district athletic association are somewhat limited, but you can rely on the fact that plans are already being formulated for a full season of sports and fun. Some equipment has already been purchased for the child-ren- s playgrounds, and plans are being pushed for spring and sum-mer activities for the grown-up- s as well. Bits About Bowlers The fair sex were a little on the weak side in their bowling battle this week, losing three tough points and winning one at the Ritz alleys. Delores Stok-er posted a 212 game to help win the first game, but the gals just couldn't get enough pins to win the others. Out at Southeast, the men's BDAA squad threw the fast Southside Classic league into a mad scramble for the trophy in the last round of league play. The locals with "Strike" Sluga mow ing 'em down for 611, troun-ced Doc Mason's Schubach Jew-elers 4 to 0 to forge into atie with Sugar Bowl for the lead.
