Show SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS ' Copperton. R. J. "Bunny" Contratto, Con-tratto, organizer of the club, tells me that they are starting with thirty members, but if the interest in-terest demands it they will expand. ex-pand. The trap has been purchased purch-ased and the site secured and they expect to hold their first shoot in a week or two, weather permitting. A gun club is something Bicg-ham Bicg-ham hasn't had for a good many years, but with all the hunters we have I am sure it won't be long until some of our shooters will be heard from in the trap shooting field. BOYS' AUTO RACES All of the erstwhile Barney Oldfield's met at the club gym Saturday in a race meet for their midget racers. Donnie Tyson was the winner when he sent his black No. 35 on its ten-lap course in 12 seconds flat. Jack Taylor was second and Larry Ott, driving driv-ing the Lipsey entry, was third and Michael Carter had fourth best time. The races will be held every Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. and at the end of February a champion will be crowned. Deputy De-puty Sheriff "Bunny" Contratto acted as clocker of the course and timer. B. D. A. A. BASKETBALL by Al Ablett Monday night saw a Midvale crew make the Miners play their kind of game and it proved to be a good strategy as the boys from the valley came out on top 26 to 24. The Miners are a team that favors a fast break and "Lollie" Kay's force knew this, so at the first tip off they started to play a slow deliberate style of ball, hoping the Miners would follow unci that is exactly what they did. The first quarter ended with the score board reading 3 to 2 in favor of the Miners and late comers were asking who was pitching, thinking it was baseball. base-ball. Play resumed and still the Miners played the kind of game .Midvale wanted and at the half the score was 7 to 6. In other games the valley team has had to substitute quite freely free-ly on account some of them aren't as young as they used to be. But when they are not tired they can play their share of basketball. bas-ketball. During the second half the Bingham boys led most of the way but by not more than one or two points. With two minutes to go the Miners held a one point lead, a technical foul was called on them for a player failing to report, and Yuhas, Midvale's hot shpoting forward, sank the charity toss, tieing up the game. With the crowd yelling yell-ing their heads off for their favorites fav-orites whichever one it happened happen-ed to be, the ball went back and forth first one then the other missing shots, Yuhas again found the range from about 35 feet out, sent the ball swishing through the strings for the winning basket bas-ket just seconds before the horn ending the game. Score again, Midvale 26, Miners 24. The other games found the Standard Garage's heavy artillery artil-lery bombarding the basket for a 43-23 victory over the hapless Bingham Redskins. The Tooele Merchants had a field day a-gainst a-gainst the Shamrocks winning as they pleased 64-23. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LEAGUE Poulus, who was the scorer of the Jordan division when he was playing for Tooele high school has lost none of his shooting ability. He scored 28 points a-gainst a-gainst the Shamrocks Monday night. One of the best ball handlers in the league is this boy Cerroni from Tooele. A tall rangy boy that knows his way around a basketball floor."- Elmer Pantalone, Bingham's big young policeman, has surprised sur-prised everyone with his speed on the court. Elmer can move, he has passed well and he gets his share of the rebounds. One of the hardest workers you will find anywhere is John Muhar, Miners rugged guard. Johnny is hustling every minute, min-ute, and has a good eye for the hoop. Bobby Goris of the Shamrocks, a 6' 4" boy that if he liked rough going, would be one of the best in the league. Bobby just hasn't learned to use his height to best advantage. But he has time, he's just a boy. Yuhas of Midvale is one of the best shots in the league, besides being a good rustler. Tom Carrigan still has that over the head shot that made him a star at Bingham high. Tom can still play his share of basketball bas-ketball GUN CLUB ORGANIZED , Work is to begin immediately on the traps for the Bingham Gun club to be located on the west side of the highway near |
