The state quota for 1948 is $155,000. The cam-paign closes January 31. At present Utah has almost 1000 polio patients receiving treatment fromj the foundation. Due to the crippling nature of the disease and the long period of treatment necessary after the active stage has passed, average cost of caring for one patient is $2000 a sum out of reach of all but the wealthy. The March of Dimes drive will be climaxed this year by a gala March of Dimes dance at Coco-nut Grove, . February 4, in Salt Lake City.

Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Don't know how many of you saw the picture "Body and Soul" but it had more truth than poetry in it. I see that the only thing holding up the contract for a Louis-Wolco- tt return fight, is that Wolcott is balking at giving 20th Century Sporting club ex-clusive rights to his services if he wins. In other words no con-tract, no shot at the world's championship. These are things that have to be cleared up. It used to be that promoters could and did bid for these bouts, but not since Joe Louis signed with Mike Jacobs. I say that the two states where boxing is controlled by a clique, are the two that are supposed to have strong boxing commissions, namely New York and California. In California box-ing stinks. Utah has been good with the exception of one thing. There is no use buying a pro-gram because half of the bouts will be substitutes. Such was the case on the Polidori-Perkin- s card Monday night. But as boxing grows in Utah this can be cured. Several boys working out at the Gemmell club. The training room has all the equipment now and it is as fine a place to train as you will find any where. Ring, big bag, light bag, horse and horizontal bars. Nooney Chirrick, Max Salazar and Kon Madscn are the pros. These boys have had a few match-es that they accepted without being in condition, but this won't happen again. All of the boys are training faithfully and in their next bout will give a good account of themselves. A boy well known in Bingham is goin great guns in the Den-ver Golden Gloves tournament. Gene Fullmer, a son of Lawrence "Tuff Fullmer, won both of his bouts by KO's. Gene is a comer but don't know about him turn-ing pro. Abel Oseguera is another Bing-ham boy in the amateur ranks that looks good. Abel is trying for a spot on the polio show. Basketball is going great guns again in Bingham. We average about 14 games a week at the club. They are going to pick a team from the Monday night league and they will play out of town teams on Wednesday nights. These games will start at 8:30, giving everyone that wants to see both the club show and the game. Eckers Studio of Salt Lake play the Phillips 66 team, na-tional AAU champions, at the fair ground colesium Saturday night. Eckers haven't got what Barnum had. He did have a show. Phillips is featuring Bob Kurt-lan- d, the 7 foot all American, who played for Oklahoma A. & M. Utah took Wyoming 59 to 54 and Gardner, Utah's All Amer-ican center, was out on fouls be-fore the first half was over. The Indians showed a little more speed and that is all they need. BYU lost to Denver but beat .Colorado A. & M. and Wyoming on their eastern swing, so they come home in a good position for their drive for the championship. Joe Nelson continues to be the fair haired boy at the hoop. I think 15 points was his low game. The Aggies haven't done so well since they beat the Utes. It seems they reached their peak for that one. High school ball in Utah has some fine teams. In our district there are three good teams, Mur-ray, Cyprus and Tooele. This Murray team is about as well a coached team as one would care to watch. Cleo Petty has done a great job down there. Tooele has about "the biggest team in B ball. They average around 6 foot 3 in. Murrav took our boys last Fri-day. Just too much class. The Miners go to Grantsville this week. Grantsville lost every one of their great state championship team. So these two teams are on a par. If either team is going to win a game this year, this is the one. See you next week. AL. BMA. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp NOTICE BDAA Board of Governors meeting Monday, February 2 at 6:30 p.m. at City hall These past few days of cool weather reminds me a wee bit of the cold winter spent along the Rio Grande some years ago. Perhaps you've heard of the "winter of the high wind", where all the soil was blown away and the prairie dog holes were left standing six feet in the air. Well, after the wind died down a bit and we had finally found our well, which had been blown some forty miles into the next county, a terrific cold wave stfuck. The dust filled air froze solid 'and thousands of miles of tunnels had to be chopped out of the atmos-phere so's the animals could be rescued. Yessir, our very conver-sations were frozen soon's they hit the air, and nobody knew what anyone else was sayin' till way next spring (Which was for the best anyway I guess, as you couldn't tell who was cussin' who). ALLEY ANGLES On the opening night of the Salt Lake Major Bowling league several months ago, team cap-tains were asked to introduce their team personnel and spon-sors. As it ramp tht RDAA snnlt. esman's turn, he introduced each member of the team, but regret-ted that the sponsor could not be there. "It's like this," he explain-ed. "When you see BDAA on our uniforms, you can visualize a team backed by several hundred members of an athletic associa-tion tis well as the entire Bing-ham area of sports fans, and we just couldn't bring all those folks out tonight." The BDAA crew, dubbed the "Travellers" in this fast ten pin circuit are considered "tough to beat" by all the other teams and the other boys sometimes think the "Travellers" must have brought along the complete group of sponsors. Last week the BDAA team dropped a hard fought series to the second place Mullett-Kell- y squad, losing the first game by two pins, 1002 to 1000 and the second one 999 to 1023. Al Ab-lett and George Abplanalp bore the brunt of the locals attack with 614 and 607 respectively. The Bingham crew in the tor-rid race at Southeast narrowed the gap toward the toD ring as they took three of four from Paul's Service. George Abplan-alp with a 241 game and a 599 series missed out by one stick in his string of 600's. The Bingham boys starting the last round of play, are hot on the leaders' heels, and are really bowling 'em over. As the state Round Robin en-ters the fourth and next to last round, George Sluga led the Bingham contingent with a 788 to move into eighth place. This week end the locals fire on the Southeast (home) alleys and all look to move up. BDAA BASKETBALL , Tooele, last year's champs, re-mained the only unbeaten team in the hot hoop race by virtue of a thrilling 23-2- 1 win over the fighting Bingham Miners. The Miners, with J. Kallen dunking 11 points until an injury forced his departure from the game, led the Tooele team until the final two minutes, but could not hold the determined winners. The Bingham Redskins lost their third start to Midvale after .holding the smelterites nearly even the first half. Yuhas, lead-ing scorer counted 9 field goals and one foul try for 19 markers to lead his team to an easy win. Standard Garage blasted the Shamrocks under a barrage of baskets in Monday night's open-er 50-2- 8, with Lopez, Katis and Badovinatz hitting from all angl-es. Last week's games saw the Garage quint win a see-sa- w bat-tle from Midvale 41-3- 5 as Tooele completely routed the Redskins 63-2- 1. The Redskins are capable of playing better ball than they have shown so far, and with a little more accuracy in their shooting rnay upset someone yet. Next week's games should te thrillers. Don't miss 'em. Next Week's Games Monday, February 2 6:30, Bingham Redskins vs. Standard Garage; 7:30, Bingham Miners vs Midvale; 8:30, Shamrocks vs Tooele.

Three hundred and eighty-fiv- e cases were reported for the same week last year and 234 for the previous week this year. Chickenpox leads the list of all communicable diseases in the number of cases reported for the week and increased from 103 for the previous week to 135 cases this week. In a weekly report from the U. S. Public Health service dat- - ed Dec. 13, 1947, it states mat "the current incidence of whoop-ing cough is higher than that for any other prior year since 1942, and the cumulative total to date is above that for any prior year since 1943. Both whooping cough and measles call for special at-tention by parents and health officers during the coming sea-son." Although the number of whoop ing cough cases has decreased in Utah over a period of years, the death rate has remained at a fairly high level. During the five year period 1941 to 1945, there was a yearly average of five deaths from whooping cough per year and a great majority of those deaths were in children under one year of age. This week fifteen cases have been reported in the state, bringing the total for the year to forty-seve- n cases.
