Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablctt The jcore board now reads 5 won, or.c lost. Yes, Cyprus upset up-set the apple cart 40 to 38 by gaining a big first half lead, then storming off a last quarter rush by the Miners. The boys missed some set ups that were hard to believe. My guess, it was those I glass backboards. Why is it as I big as basketball is, why they don't have standardized equip- ment for the playing of the game. Bingham has a beautiful gym j but wooden back boards. The 'players tell me the difference is j terrific. That of course is in no I way taking anything away from Cyprus, because they out played us in the first half and tncy were hot at the basket as witnessed just before the half. They tanked tank-ed one from the center line and it isn't a small court. But when the whole story is told it was a ease of not getting our foul shots. The locais had a 333 average with 6 for 13. . I think we got one or turn m.irn finlrl rrnnlc Qn no T hnvf I said before you got to get most of those that are given to you. The Miners are still out in front by a two game margin, as Grants ' ville, who the locals meet on the home floor tonight, won their 3 straight by dumping Tooele. So if the boys have been taking the Cowboys light, they will be in for a surprise tonight, because, ! like Cyprus, maybe these fellows fel-lows don't read the press clippings. clip-pings. Sunny's team should win this one, and be ready for Tooele Too-ele a week hence on the new $100,000 gym across the mountains. moun-tains. BYU continues on her winning ways, tipping the hapless Colorado Colo-rado Aggies two over the week end, while Utah was losing three games on the Eastern side, two to Denver, and in one of these Dale Taft, Denver's sophomore center, clicked for 37 points, 30 of them in the second half. He would have tied the conference record, only one of his team mates mat-es fouled as he was sinking a two pointer. The Indians gave Wyoming a tough struggle losing by four points, 38-42. But in losing they found a setup that broke Wyoming's Wyo-ming's stall. The USAC won a hard fought game from Colorado A & M with a tip in shot by big Rollo Johnson John-son with four seconds to go. The score was 45-44. So as I said before and I will say again, the showdown will be in the Springville gym when Wyoming and BYU meet next month. The greatest fight seen in Salt Lake City in years, that is the opinion of the Polidori-Lambert 10 rounder last Monday night. Lambert fought a different fight than he did last summer, believe me. Where, as in the outdoor match, he elected to box. In this one he went in their arid punched punch-ed it out with the cagey Tooele boy and the result was he was going away. My score card had the first even, then the next two Lambert, but here he elected to box again and he was the loser of the 4, 5 and 6th rounds. I guess he got his second wind, for he came on for the last four like a wounded tiger and at the bell ending the fight he hnd Remo on the deck and the count had reached four. I think Polidori could have gotten up, but he was a thoroughly beaten fighter, but was never out gained. If Lambert Lam-bert had the same desire all the time as he did Monday night, he would be a tough boy to stop. Credit must go to Marv Jensen, his manager, as he had his boy ready and he hent him out to fight the kind of fight that would win. I see by the papers they have signed Ted Williams for $125,000, not bad for a man without a truck. I wonder what big Ed Walsh would say were he here. He got $4500 for winning 40 games, gam-es, and people talk of the good old days. Bingham baseball hopefuls and fans as well, are to be given a treat Sautrday night at 7:30 o'clock o'-clock as Bert Dunn, Occie Evans and Fred Sanford hold a baseball base-ball clinic in the Gemmell gym. Mr. Dunn has written several books on how to play ball, that have been universally accepted by baseball men. Every one in i Utah knows Occie Evans. He knows baseball inside cut. Fred Sanford is the Salt Lake boy pitching for the New York Yankees. Yan-kees. Fred went into organized ball from our own Indiistrial league, lea-gue, having pitched for Midvale and Salt Lake. He was a star with the St. Louis Browns and the Yankees thought enough of him to lay a $100,000 on the line for him. They will fhow last year's World Series pictures, as well as all of the great stars doing do-ing the things they are noted for. Ted Williams, hitting, Marty Marion, fielding, and so on. Indeed In-deed a rare treat for tne aspiring aspir-ing young ball players and fans as well. So I will see you at the j clinic. AL |
