Llndqulst Utah quintets have already come In for their share of laurels In the young season sea-son with the Utes unbeaten in 13 games, the Aggies holding the lone season's Victory Over Colorado besides be-sides sharing first place In the league with the Utes, and B. Y. U. holding a nifty upset over the surprising sur-prising Denver Pioneers. One Most Fall Contests this week should materially mate-rially clear up the muddled race and drop one of the three clubs from the higher bracket. Either Utah or Colorado must fall by the wayside at Boulder and It looks like the Utes, leaving Utah Aggies In undisputed possession of first place. The Aggies, who were Idle last week, should get a battle from Denver and a tough fight from Wyoming, but unless something drastic happens, should come through with the higher scores. B. Y. U. suddenly caught fire over the week end after taking two defeats on the chin and whipped a fighting Denver quintet on its own court 54-44. Stan Nlel-son Nlel-son led the Invaders, but all the Cougars showed well. Indicating that the faithful who picked the Provo five to come In near the top in the race might not be disappointed. disap-pointed. The Cougars dropped their first game of their eastern Invasion to Colorado State 40-32. The Utah Aggies certainly can't be counted out In the race, although al-though their early season record wasn't as potent as some of the other clubs In the league. Captain Ray Llndqulst and Calvin Agricola have been outstanding defensively for the Aggies, and may be enough to bring the Logan club home victorious. vic-torious. Utah had little trouble with either Wyoming or the No. 13 Jinx Friday and racked up Its third conference con-ference win 47-33. Nick Watts and Val Sheffield made 21 points between be-tween them to cinch the victory. Buffs Dominate East Colorado continued to dominate eastern slope casaba circles by turning back Denver 66-25 and Colorado State 47-41 In last week's battles. This week's contest against Utah should set a new high for cage action on the Boulder court, although C. U. has a definite edge. After being, outplayed and out-scored out-scored by the Aggies, the Buffs have bounced back to eliminate for the time being B. Y. U., 'Denver, Colorado all capable challengers by lopsided margins and now rank as the highest scoring outfit in the circuit. If Utah can whip the Buffs In their own bailiwick, the Redskins seem to have a pretty clear chance to take the title, but observers feel that the Utes will be lucky to get a split with Colorado, especially since the Buffs have yet to lose a conference game at horn and yet to lose to a Utah squad. |
