Show BJMA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp j Ho hum, beastly warm isn't it? j Just like the old weather man to give us another storm when we're gettin' in the mood for a nice seige of spring fever. Bust be close to spring though, cause our basketball calendar has about run out. Talk is turning towards outdoor sports again, and it won't be long till the national pastime is holding our attention. Locally, the BDAA will make every effort to promote or aid a greater summer sports program than has ever been held. With a membership that has grown from a handful to several hundreds, the Bingham District Athletic association seeks only to give its members the finest and most varied entertainment and benefits bene-fits obtainable. As our basketball season draws to a close, we can look back with satisfaction on a very successful winter. Our local high school hoopsters, against some odds and some very good prep teams, more than held their own, and we feel just as proud of them as ever. As the old saying goes, "You can't win 'em all.'' BDAA BASKETBALL Last week saw some close and hard fought battles on the Gem-mell Gem-mell court, as the Tooele Tun-nellers Tun-nellers copped a hectic fracas from the Ramblers 44-39 to cling to their slim lead with seven wins, one defeat. BCO tucked away another one at the Wildcats expense, but only on-ly after a determined drive by the Wild ones gave the BCO boys quite a scare. The Cats are getting get-ting better and better, too bad the season is so short. Maybe next week the underdogs, or shall we say 'Under Cats' will stage an upset. Better come and see. Won Lost Pet.
