Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Is my face red. BYU took Utah in both games and if the first one was close, the Cougars left no doubt in the second one. They broke it as wide open as an old maid's arms. Winning by 20 points, 65 to 45. Randy Clark, Nelson and Minson burned the strings and at the same time controlled con-trolled both back boards. They say now that their was some dis-sention dis-sention on the Utah club but not 20 points worth.' No, BYU was just the better club in these two. I think my prediction will come true that the winner of the Skyline Sky-line six will lose at least five games. Utah came back strong Wednesday Wed-nesday night and beat Long Island Is-land U. 65 to' 42, with big Vern Gardner scoring 24 points. They play the Utah Aggies this week end and should get back on their winning ways. BYU plays Colorado Colo-rado Aggies and they shouldn't have much trouble. Our local high school lost to Murray .Tuesday night on the Copperton floor 47 to 38. Murray is again one of the best coached i teams in the Jordan division. I There boy Wood was as hot as a four-bit pistol, scoring 19 points. Pino was the best point getter for the Miners with 10. Stuart Beresford, president of the Colorado officials' association associa-tion has went on record as saying say-ing that if better treatment of basketball officials isn't forthcoming forth-coming there will be a great shortage. Don't suppose there is many in Bingham that remember Stu. He was here in 1929, played for Gemmell club. He had been an all conference guard for Colorado Colo-rado U. the year before. He was a member of what was Gem-mell's Gem-mell's greatest team. Earnie Simson, Stu Beresford, "Sen" Kelly, Johnson a 6' 7" center that played the year before for Ol-sen's Ol-sen's Terrible Swedes. Jerry Donovan and Frank Ward, both all coast men from Oregon U. Yes it was quite a ball club. Too bad about Ben Hogan, the world's outstanding golfer, getting get-ting hurt on his way to his home in Ft. Worth, Tex. Hogan is classed class-ed the greatest of them all and to prove it Ben has won $200,000 in the last four or five years. Not bad for a man without a truck. It is hoped by every one that his injuries won't be permanent and that he will again be back hitting hit-ting those shots long and true. The DeWitt brothers, Bill and Charlie, buying the St. Louis Browns again brings to mind what a great country this is we live in. Both of these men started start-ed by selling peanuts in the park that they now own, having paid $1,000,000 for Richard C. Muck-erman's Muck-erman's 55 per cent. Bill has long been the general manager of the Browns while Charlie has acted as traveling secretary. Under the new set up Bill will be president and Charlie will be vice president. presi-dent. They plan to keep the franchise fran-chise in St. Louis where both men were born. They have a good young club and we wish them luck. In the fights last Monday night Keith Nuttall won a ten round decision over Gill NaPier of San Diego. Keith was the aggressor all through the fight as Napier chose to fight a strictly defensive defen-sive fieht. Nuttall pinned him on the ropes a few times and let fly with a barrage of lefts and rights but for the most part he spent the time in trying to run the coast boy down. On Wednesday the ninth Remo Polidori has been signed for ten rounds against Willie Parker, the Salt Lake colored boy who is now making his home on the coast. This should be a good one as Remo is that boring in kind and Parker likes to stand off and sharp shoot. In bowling the Bingham boys have been more than holding their own. This boy Bill Ablett is shooting steady as he goes and I always say that's my boy. He and his partner, Jimmie Abplan-alp Abplan-alp make a tough pair. See you next week. AL O |
