Show V Sports Here and There by Al Afrlett Cyprus may have been the favorite fa-vorite but the Miners were the ball club last Friday night. A packed stadium saw the Miners turn in a 30 to 19 victory on the strength of Gary LaComb's beautiful beau-tiful broken field runnins and the greatest down field blocking ever seen on the Copperton field. Gary scored all five touchdowns. Four of them on long runs. The most dramatic coming in the fourth quarter after Cyprus had made it 19 o 24. The redhead put it on ice with a 68-yard gallop gal-lop that found the Miners mowing mow-ing down . Cyprus tacklers like ten pins. j On defense Robertson and Ochoa, the Bingham ends, kept the Cyprus runners from going outside, and when the chips were down the middle that Miner forward for-ward wall stopped everything that came their way. A great game won by eleven kids that didn't know the word quit. The (Miners play Wasatch here tonight, Friday. Should win this one, but they can't afford a let down. The bench is too thin for that. Boxings' winter season got off to a flying rfitart last Monday at the fairgrounds coliseum with the Dunlap vs Agramonte scrap topping a great card. These two big boys put up a scrap that will be remembered for a long time. Agramonte got beat but he was just like Joe DiMaggio, with two strikes on him he could hit one out of the park with-one swing. He put Dunlap down in the first and again in the third with that lightning like right hand and it was a threat even in the late sta- Ees when he was getting beat, unlap has a great left hook and when he found the range with it he gave the Cuban a going over. Having him on the deck twice in the seventh and eighth rounds. Both boys were tired at the end with goocL reasons because as I have said a great fight. The rest of the card was of the same pattern. Jack Nelson beat Burns in the semi-finals but Jack is far from being ready for the good boys. Next week it is Willie James from Boston, the boy that beat Layne, against Hall of the Jensen stable. This should be another great bout. See you next week. AL O |
