Show BM.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Miners End Fine Season Our local Bingham High School hoop squad wound up a very successful season last week by garnering fifth place and the consolation championship in the "B" tourney at BYU fieldhouse. Coach Udell Wankier and his charges are to be congratulated tor their fine showing all thru the regular season as well as the four tournament games. Although the boys lost a heart breaker in the first round of play, they came back with a lot of fine play and , determination to cop the eonso-j eonso-j lation prize. The Bingham squad this year I has been perhaps as good as any team from this district, and deserves de-serves credit for a lot of hard work and fine performances. The local hoopsters impressed many fans at the tourney as one of the finest, and contributed the outstanding performer of the whole meet. Yourg Jack Mannion, Man-nion, only junior picked on the All-State five was given the honor of being the stand - out player of the tourney. Jack was the second top scorer of the meet and turned in his finest performance perform-ance on the very last night. The rest of the boys contributed a great deal to Mannion's fine showing and we believe big Jack would be the first to give them credit. So, congratulations to Coach Wankier and his fine bunch of "Miners". Their "champs" in our estimation and we hope all the boys gained worthwhile knowledge knowl-edge and training from their experiences. ex-periences. We'll go after 'em a-gain a-gain next year, and keep hoping and working hard for the fine bunch of boys that take up this splendid sport. Our Diamond Dilemma The baseball situation is now a big question as to whether we can keep enough young ball players around to make up a ball club. Due to reduction in forces at the mines, several of last years players feel they must go elsewhere else-where for employment. Manager Babcock is working hard to keep his club intact, but is faced with the problem of most of his players play-ers seeking work elsewhere. We j are doing everything possible to ; keep a baseball team in Bing- j ham but we do not have very j definite assurance as yet. Hope something can be arranged soon. 1 We'll let you know how things . are progressing. i O l |
