Sports as a whole fell off in attendance but in the caliber of its participants in some cases was above par. Baseball came back to pro-w- ar level so far as actual play was concerned and counting the at-tendance in all 59 leagues oper-ating, it had a good year. The highlfght of course was the great stand of the Yankees in the face of so many injuries, especially the loss of the great Joe DiMag-gi- o for over half the season. The St. Louis Cardinals Hop was a great disappointment in the Na-tional league but Brooklyn had youth and speed and in the end that is what counted. In our own Industrial league Helper won the first half and de- - jfeated American Fork, second half winner, in the playoff. In the Pioneer kague Twin Falls finished first in the regular season with Pocatello winning the playoff. American Legion ball found Bingham again winning the state championship. They went to Ari-zona and made a great showing, losing to Oakland, and Oakland won the national championship. Football again saw the great Notre Dame team classed as the nation's best in college circles, the Philadelphia Eagles won the National league championship, with the Cleveland Browns on top in the American for the 4th straight year. 1949 caw the end of the pro-footb- war as the two leagues have gotten together and formed two divisions under the same head. Next year we'll see a world's championship game between the winners of each division. As for the local college picture it was the most dismal season on record, as not one of the three schools was in the running in the Skyline conference Wyoming won the flag for the first time in conference history. Davis county high won the class A title and Judge Memorial the B champion-ship for the second straight year. Our local high school team had a good year, losing only to Mag-na and Tooele. Basketball had a great season with Utah and BYU both having great teams. 1949 also saw the passing of the second half of Utah's great pair of Ferrin and Gardner as Gardner joined his playmate in the pro ranks. Wyoming won the title in the Skyline. The great Kentucky team played its last year togeth-er in college and they were rank-ed the best. Our local high school team didn't do too well but our sopho-more team never lost a game giv-ing us high hopes for the coming year. Winter sports had its best sea-son in Utah as well as old man winter himself. Skiing was at its best and one of Utah's own is ranked as one of the best in the nation on the waxed boards. Don Reddish is that man. Boxing had its greatest year in Utah, but it fell off in the rest of the nation. 1949 saw the great Joe Louis Abdicate his crown as heavyweight champ, and Ezzara Charles beat Joe Walcott to win the N.B.A. title in that division. 1949 also saw the ending of the career of Ernie Hunick, the boy that did a great deal to bring boxing back in Utah. Ernie nas quit the game for good. Rex Layne, a promising young heavy-weight, has come like wrildfire the past year. Keith Nuttall had his ups and downs. But these two are Utah's hopes for the future. Starting 1950 here are my win-ners for the major bowl games: Ohio State in the Rose bowl. Kentucky over Santa Clara in the Orange bowl. Oklahoma over L.S.U. in the Sugar bowl. Rice over North Carolina in the Cot-ton bowl. Thanking everyone- for all the nice things in 1949, I wish you all a Happy and Prosperous 1950. Happy New Year.

A very interesting season is on docket, with 8 teams vieing for the annual trophy. Teams from Mid vale, Tooele, and Sandy are entered against the local squads, and the fireworks arc expected to be hot and furious. With the basketball boys fight-ing it out every Monday, enter-tainment should be at fever pitch for the casaba fans, as these gam-es are holding a great deal of in-terest for the Bingham fans. Prep Hoopsters Ready! Bingham high prr.p basketeers are fast rounding into shape, as Coach Allsop aligns Lis men into a contact aggregation. The local kidr have shown a great deal of promise in preseason games, and despite losses to some strong ag-gregations, should make a good showing in the season schedule. ALLEY ANGLES The alleys in Salt Lake must have become a bit lop sided the last few days, because BDAA dropped 3 of 4 to Western Opti-cal, and Gemmell ciub did the same at South East, against Duce Billiards. Paul Slotte shot 655 at Sugar House, only to see . his teammates drop three games to Bill Ward's crew as the Billiard boys racked up a 2986 series. This week the Gemmell crew fights for first place, as the BD-AA five roll at the Temple lanes to gain the first division level.
