Show Sports Here acnd There by Al Ablett Our high stfhool team won one and lost one in the past week. They were favored to beat Wasatch Was-atch but the ,Heber boys didn't read the papers. They took the Miners 34 to 14. The local boys just couldn't teem to do anything right. Their tackling was a way off from the farm they showed in the Cyprus galne and their blocking block-ing wasn't up to par. I am not taking anything away from the boys from Heber because they played to win, and they showed us a good line and a couple of fine backs. They won again Wednesday. But Wednesday was a different differ-ent story. The Miners traveled to Murray and After trailing the Smelter boys in the first half 14 to 12 they came to life in the third and fourth periods and took Murray 89 to 14. LaComb, Bingham's great back, started the ball rolling byfliping a 30-yard pass to left end Ocnoa and a touchdown. A tew minutes later Murray tried a pass and Sonny Robertson fielded it like a Mickey Mantle and was off for pay dirt 60 yards away. He made it. From there on a hard charging Miner line made it easy. Boy how that forward wall tore them up. LaComb scored three touchdowns, touch-downs, Robertson one and Huntsman Hunts-man one. LaComb scored both touchdowns against Wasatch to put hifh out in front in the scoring scor-ing race for Region Two. The Miners are tied with Wasatch with 3 wins, 1 loss. The series is over and again for the fourth, straight year the New York Yankees are world champions. This one will go down in history as one of the most hard fought series in baseball base-ball history. In my book the difference dif-ference in the two teams was the managers and ,the one and only Mickey Marftlj -There -just isn't enough adjectives to describe this boy, only twenty years old now. What a career he has before be-fore him. This kid can do every- thing. Hit em, go get em, and slide both ways. But of course there were others. Johnny Mize for one. Big John has been great with that willow ever since he broke in with the cards. Here is a case in question with the managers man-agers when Collins didn't his, Casey went to Mize, but I guess old Case has a magic ball for a-gain a-gain in the clutch he came in with Kugava, and he stopped the Bums as cold as he did the Giants Gi-ants in last year's classic. Bob didn't have a very good year. He had an 8 and 8 record but he looked like Bob Grove in both series. But who was to tell that Robinson, Campnella and Gil Hodges would go into the worst slump of their career, Joe Black, the big Brooklyn rookie and old man "-Preacher Roe, along with Reese Snider and Cox tried their best, but again the Yankees won the big one. Marv Jensen, the West Jordan mink farmer, has come up with another one that looks like a comer. This time Marv has went to the little fellows. Baby Ray is as good a looking featherweight feather-weight as has been seen in these parts for many a day. The fight faithful got their first look at him last Monday night on the Hall-James card at (he fairgrounds, fair-grounds, and they came away talking about nobody else. Baby got his man in the first heat with so sweet a combination as Sugar Ray ever threw. He is on next Monday's card . and I for one don't want to miss it. Hall had too many guns for ! Willie James and stopped him in the fourth canto of a scheduled 10 rounder. The promotors took a whipping on this show, and for a while at least, they are going to show promising youngsters. Maybe a name bout about once a month. This is as it should be, because there just isn't th peeo-ple peeo-ple here to support $5 top snows every week. The volunteer boxing box-ing commission is doing a great job, in (furnishing judges and supervising the game in general. gener-al. Joe Walton is the chairman, and he has such fine men as Judge Lewis, B. Birrell and "Spider" Morris to help him. This can't be anything but good.. See you next week. AL o |
