Show Strong Reserve Material Leads Hurricane Basketball Fans To Back Tigers For District Crown With the strongest reserve material ma-terial in years, Hurricane high, under the coaching of Coach Walter Wal-ter Brooks, is looking forward to a real chance at the Dixie district dis-trict title. On pre-season predictions predic-tions by the coaches of the Dixie district, Hurricane and Cedar are rated the two best teams in the league, with plenty of action expected ex-pected to take place when these fast traveling teams collide. Two Good Boys Hurricane fans are now rating Langston and Terry as the two best men on the squad. Langston Lang-ston is a senior, plays center, is 5 feet 11 inches and weighs 170 lbs. He has played three years for Hurricane. Terry is a junior, plays forward, is 5 feet 7 inches and weighs 143 lbs. He has had one year's' experience. In commenting on the various teams of the division, Coach Brooks had the following to say: "As I look at the situation, Cedar is the team to beat, with Kanab, Enterprise and Dixie right behind, with possibilities of developing devel-oping a winning team. I don't know too much about Orderville or Parowan." Hurricane fans point out that Coach Brooks will have plenty of reserve material, a department in which the team has often been short. In addition to Langston and Terry, there are six men, all on about a par, which will enable Coach Brooks to substitute freely. Coach Brooks has presented sev-real sev-real fine teams since he took over the coaching duties at Hurricane. Hurri-cane. Last year his team beat Dixie on the Hurricane floor and fans who saw the tournament games were convinced that the Tigers would have been on a par with the best in the tournament. Hurricane went to the State Tournament in 1934 and are in hopes that this will again be their year to go. Coach Brooks was a star athelete for Dixie and then made a fine record at B. Y. U. Since coming to Hurricane his teams have always been among the leaders in this district. Basketball Bas-ketball fans who have followed his teams feel that he has done a fine job of coaching that he us-the us-the limited material that he usually us-ually has to work with.
