adds up to glen rupp as the horse made all eleven of tooele thoele s points in the 1st quarter and before he e left the game for a short rest two in minutes before the end of the 1st half he had collected 18 po ants coming back in the he 2nd half rupp contin aed to keen the hoop hot as he racked 10 more counters before he was finally called to the bench with about 3 minutes to go in the game W phout trying to take a thing away from tooele thoele s elongated cen ter it still must be said that if it hadn haan t been for his team mates he would have been a long way a way froni from 28 markers as nobuko nifty icam charlie lee and glen bones ham iton rustled the ball in perfect fashion all even ing long and it was their deadly and accurate passing that must come in for a great share of the credit used man to man defense coach clarke johnson is molding a team that keeps on getting better n better man to man defense they set up to take care of any would be point getters of the pirates was a thing of beauty it seems at last that coach johnson has impressed the boys that defense is a very in fregal part of the cage game ev ery member of the squad and every one of the boys saw action displayed more hustle and fight than in any previous game it is this spirit that is going to play a very important part in just how far this year s edition of the buffaloes will go soph s set

half charged with fire and brimstone and pulled away to a narrow 28 25 margin at the end of the 3rd quarter the fourth quarter was a killer diller as both teams gave noth ing and asked for nothing and
