UTES LOSE TO LEHI 49 TO 41; TERRY ANDERSON HIGH SCORER Lehi topped Uintah High School 49 to 41 last Friday evening in the Utes' first home basketball game of the season. Lehi pulled ahead in the opening open-ing minutes of the second half after trailing the Utes most of the first half. Coach Moser's boys were out playing play-ing the Pioneers from Lehi all over the floor in the first half, but the visiting team managed to tie the score by half time. Lehi players seemed to grow taller as the second half began and the Utes began to fumble into defeat. Both teams had lost their first half confidence con-fidence by the fourth quarter and the game broke into a rough and tumble battle for the ball. Terry Anderson was star of the evening as he sailed shot after shot from the middle of the floor through the net. He was higher scorer with 21 points. Lehi's Dorton played an exceptionally excep-tionally good game in the second half scoring 13 points for the Pioneers. He was second high scorer of the game with 18 points. , While the Utes made all of their foul shots, seven of them in the first half, the Pioneers made only three out of thirteen tries. In the second half the Utes made eight out of eleven foul pitches pit-ches and Lehi made eleven out of fourteen four-teen pitches. Anderson led the Uintah team with 21 points and Eaton scored 14 counters. Eaton added 14 points and Hatch scored four points. Abegglen and Donovan added one point each. Dorton was the top Lehi scorer at 18 points and Haws put in 11 counters. A basketball story follows as it was printed in the Vernal Express on Dec. 24, 1953.
