Show 1 P 0 MIM 1 by A T roberts chronicle sports editor arti AA I 1 nine hine tem teams answer emeree referee s opening iiii whistle WEi istEe esi in tooele thoele n basketball league the tooele thoele county recreational league opened hostilities thurs day jan 15 when eight of the nine entries squared off against each other in a ten week race to deter mine who is the be cage tion in tooele thoele county attention to the worth while ac of public officials charged with the management of fe resources and likewise call ing attention of all sportsmen to aneff chency corruption or political scheming of public officials chang ed with responsibilities in fish and game management g the U S A is pledged to remove the state fish and game department from politics and place the selection of its employees on a sound civil service 0 or r merit system the U S A is the only organic aaion that ever challenged the as of the present board of big game control that it has un disputed right to all control of wild life in utah by mention ng the above facts I 1 im m not trying to influence any sportsmen into join ing either association A lot of sportsmen do belong to both organ izat ions however I 1 do believe that if a person does enjoy fishing and hunting he should by all means belong to one or the other he should get the facts on both as and then join the one he thinks is the best last week the state fish and game department Dep artmen received three million one hundred thousand eggs which they purchased various hatcheries throughout the country over two million five hun dred thousand were eastern brook trout eggs which will be placed in a hatchery at panguitch loa Spring springville ville white rock logan and kamas also received were three hundred thousand brown trout eggs from wisconsin the above purchase of eggs augments the annual egg take from the various utah hatcheries mr M J madsen chief of fisheries of the utah fish and game department explained that this years output of legal size fish will exceed the number raised and planted in 1947 As near as I 1 can learn not much is being done in tooele thoele county on the fish and game departments program of crow shooting from the bulletin I 1 received from mr leonard I 1 understand that it is up to the sportsmen s clubs t to 0 raise a bounty fee of five cents per bird and this amount will be matched the fish and game department making a 4 of ten cents for each crow or magpie killed and turned in to the game warden in salt lake county some of the sporting goods stores are offering such valuable alu able prizes as radios re fr aerators gera tors fishing equipment and so forth for those killing certain branded birds I 1 doubt very much if we have an excess of crows or magpies in tooele thoele county horev er it is up to the two sportsmen s whether this program will be carried out here four games were played and out of the scramble for points and pres tige three teams appear to be the class of the league new town TOD no 1 and the eagles all swept to easy victories and if first game impressions hold true one of these will eventually be crowned champs TOD no I 1 met the deseret chem ical depot in the opening game and even with the so called sec see ond stringers playing a good share of the game TOD collected an easy 55 14 victory over the out clas sed gas house gang from deseret lack of condition and team co ordination plus the fact that TOD was just too good just about sums up this game as TOD led by cliff williams and jim palmer who got 16 and 12 2 points respectively ed almost as they pleased for des eret bill riddell and leon gates played the best ball given a coup ie le of weeks playing together des eret should show a great deal of improvement and before the seas on is over they are bound to show other teams a bad time the score in the second game which pitted the eagles against the catholic youth organization was almost as lop sided as the first game as the eagles won as they pleased by the score of 50 17 playing together for the first time this year was just no match for the smooth working eagles who have been for quite some time keith allred with 12 points bill mckendrick with 13 angelo cebrom with 10 johnny paulos with 12 and keever janko vich with 3 stamped themselves as on the teams to beat for the team john and paul I 1 both played fine games in the losing cause with the return of two or three of the s key players who were unable to the opening g game ame this team is also expected to show considerable im provement pro tooele thoele ordnance depot is sport ing a perfect record as TOD no came out on the long end of a 42 32 score with st john in the clos est game of the opening round Blickens derfer lead the scoring par ade as he racked up 12 points for TOD with his team mate andrus just a shade behind with 9 st john like so many of the entries clearly showed the lack of practice but with a few games un der their belts will be sure to give a good account of themselves ray mond russell in particular played a good game and his loss via the personal foul route in the third quarter removed any chance st john had of overtaking TOD no 2 before he left the game russell tanked 11 counters new town gave gme En glands a demonstration d emon of cage wizardry and the scorekeeper a work out as they passed and shot their way to an 82 22 victory red delpapa Del Papas s squad headed by clarke johnson johnny and joe busico is possibly the smoothest working and classiest team in the league ball handler handlers s de and every a eye the basket this is one team that will have to be beat before anyone claims the title johnny head football coach at tooele thoele high school pour ed em through for 31 points clarke johnson head basketball coach gave the fans a demonstration of his artistry as be he controlled both back boards passed and dribbled imperfection and still managed to collect 20 points joe busico chipped in with IS 18 points which would have been good for scoring honors in any of the other three games but in this game hi joe had to settle for third high scorer joe bandovich San dovich scored just exact ly half of En glands 22 points but nothing En glands could do could stem the stream of baskets new town poured through the hoop for the fans who really like their basketball keep thursday nights in mind the games are played at the tooele thoele high school with four games played each night starting at 6 30 each team will meet the other team once and at the con elusion of the regular schedule the team perching on top of the heap will be presented with a trophy then the four top teams will square off in a round robin and i the winner will be presented with I 1 another trophy and the team dis playing the lost
