O B.D.A.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp "B" TOURNEY NEXT WEEK Sixteen of the states' top high school basketball squads will start play next Wednesday in the annua! "B" tournament at Provo. Most of the teams have already gained berths in this popular meet, with a few play-off games being played this week. Bingham won the Jordan di-vision crown a couple of weeks ago, p.nd Cyprus plays Park City tonight to decide the second place entry from Jordan and Summit divisions. Last week the locals finished regular league play with an easy win over Judge, and have had a week to work out the kinks of a very tough season. Coach Udell Wankier and his charges won nine games and lost only one in league play, but found the going pretty rough at times in the rug-ged Region Two. The Miners snowed improve-ment in nearly every game, and are rated by the experts right near the top. Balance has be-come the watch word for the lo-cals 'performance, and although Coach Wankier has stuck pretty j close to his ilarting five in the (tough ones, he has several boys that have given good reserve 'strength when needed. We don't know yet who the 'Miners will meet the tourney opener, but we will be cheering for four wins next week.

Sports Here and There by Al Ablett The Miners finished the season in a blaze of glory by taking Judge in easy fashion 71 to 38. jit wasn't the score that impress-ed, it was the way the team play ed together, and the perform-anc- e of the understudies. Coach Wankier played everyone on the club and they all looked plenty good, especially this boy English who was not only high point man with 19 but was a whale of ja player in every department of the game. This was a very en-couraging performance for Coach Wankier to know that he has a boy that can go into the line-u- p and in no way weaken it in any way. The team will spend their time in practicing and keeping in condition from now until tournament time. Who they will meet on the opening day will be decided this Sunday when the schedule is drawn up. Now going to the tournament! is nothing new to the fans of Bingham, for in years past there has been many a team from this hotbed of high school basketball in the big meet. For thirteen straight years Coach Tommy McMullin who is now our high school principal, took a team to the state meet to represent our town. Most of them good and a couple of them classed great but somewhere along the line lady luck would desert them and they were unable to bring home a championship, but in every case they were a credit to our com-munity and their coach. After Tommy there was Sunny Allsop. He had a number of teams in the classic but he too had something happen along the way that barr-ed his path to the throne room. So now it is Udell Wankier who leads the Miners in their quest of, the crown and with the best wishes of every man, woman and child in the district goes the hope that his efforts will be crowned with success. This year's team has every-thing that it takes to make a champ. In Mannion they have the big boy to play the boards and take charge in the picot, and in Robertson they have not only a good scorer but a player that ' every tournament team must have. A fellow that can supply the spark. Peterson is a great scorer and great help for Man-nion in playing the boards. Larry Stillman is the play maker and the ball handler and this little fellow can hit from outside when they clog up the middle to stop our big boy. Niksich is the kind of player that every great team has to have. He is rugged and he takes the load off of the fel-lows that are inclined to tire. As I said English is just reaching his peak as a high school player and don't be surprised if he don't come out of this tournament as the dark horse for the Miners. The other understudys are all hustlers and if they have to go into the line-up- , they will be trying all the time. So there they (Continued on page six) C0MING Wednesday, March 17 St. Patrick's day dance at BCO hall, 9:00 p.m. sponsored by Holy Rosary Catholic church.
