Show v Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Well, the high school team did it again. Taking the Grantsville Cowboys into camp last Friday night in the Cowboys' corral, they won, but not too impressive, as they found the going rough all during the first half. Sanchez was high point man, with Gaytn-waite Gaytn-waite close behind, but had all of Allsop's ringers been counted, he would have 'been on top. The boy lost three fielders when one of his team mates committed a foul in the back court. They meet the Tooele boys at Copperton tonight in what should be the crucial game of the season. sea-son. Tooele lost most of their last year's team but they have come up with what experts say is d much better club. They can shoot and they are supposed to be a great bunch of rustlers. So the locals will have to be in top form, j Coach Alison has been drilling his fellows hard all week. In the first home game against Cyprus, they were a little sloppy in handling hand-ling the ball. Some of the boys hadn't gotten over it in the Grantsville game. They won't be able to do this against the Buffaloes Buf-faloes and win. The team looks best to me with the coache's boy in the line up. He is a big rugged rug-ged kid that thrives cn rough going and his shooting is improving. improv-ing. It's a tough break for a boy to be playing on his dad's team, because a good many times the coach is afraid that the fans will think he is favoring his son. But I hope this is not the case on our team because for my money the kid belongs in there. The squad is in good shape with the exception excep-tion of Gust who has a beautiful beauti-ful black eye. He got the shiner in practice, so you can tell they have been preparing. I think they have enough to get by Tooele Too-ele on the home court but I'll be there to see. Elsewhere in basketball Those Aggies went to town a-gainst a-gainst Utah taking both games. I said earlier not to sell those Farmers short. I still say it. B-YU B-YU finally came to life against Denver last week, after playing dead to Wyoming in the two games at Laramie. This week end should be the real test. Denver plays BYU at Springville Friday Fri-day and Utah Saturday and Monday. Mon-day. The Aggies go to Springville Spring-ville on Saturday and BYU tra- vels to Logan on Monday. This will be the first time Utah fans have seen Taft, the great Denver Den-ver sophomore in action. At the moment he and Pilch of Wyoming Wyo-ming are mentioned in the same breath. To be put in a class with Pilch is something, because Hank Ebje of Oklahoma, says he is the greatest college player in the country. I pick BYU to win both of their games at Springville, but at Logan I like the Farmers. Denver should win one of theirs against the Utes. The Indians are prone to fade in the last half. By the way, if you are a basketball bas-ketball fan come to the club on Monday nights. They have an eight team BDAA league and they play four games every Monday Mon-day night, starting at 6 o'clock. Opening night they had some thrillers. One game went extra innings, and another found one point separating them at the gun. Every one there marveled at the brand of ball displayed by the teams, and the league looks evenly ev-enly balanced. Bowling is going great guns, both among the women and men. Some big scores being shot. Jim Abplanalp had 627, Herb Bab-cock Bab-cock 607, for honor roll counts among the men and Doreen De-laney De-laney had 515 for the women. See you at the game. AL |
