Show B.D.A.A, FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Just A Few More Weeks Mr. Groundhog done went and did it again. Yes sir that goofy fugitive from a hole in the ground ambled out the other day and was greeted by about the only sunny day we've had in a month of overcasts. Why or how the worthless woodchuck ever emerged em-erged through all this snow is a mystery, but even the almanac had his appearance scheduled for that one sunny day. We can be sure that Mr. Groundhog came, saw and scampered right back where he belongs, and if seeing his shadow means only six more weeks of winter, a lot of us will be relieved and glad that it will be over that soon. A bit of weather wea-ther were 'aving anyhow. Bingham, Cyprus Tangle Tonight Bingham preps, smarting under un-der a 47 to 36 defeat at the hands of Murray, play host to the Cyprus Cyp-rus Pirates tonight at their home court at Copperton. In the first league joust, Cyprus took a close overtime battle from the locals, and Allsop's charges are eager to even the score. The local quint, despite a tremendous tre-mendous height handicap given to nearly all its opponents, has played good basketball and deserves de-serves praise for the manner in which the boys give their utmost to win. Let us say here to a few rabid fans who let their emotions overcome their good judgment, please abide by the officials' verdict, ver-dict, let's accept our wins and losses alike, with good grace. Please remember all general admission patrons use northwest entrance, reserved seat members use front entrance. The capacity crowd at the Copperton gym last Tuesday night was seated in fine fashion. The cooperation of all BDAA members has been excellent excel-lent so far, lets keep it this way. ALLEY ANGLES BDAA Wins.
