After Af-ter both teams had appeared "off" in the first half, but Bulldogs Bull-dogs found range at the opening of ihe second half and really went to town. The return of Rulon Johnson, husky guard, aided Provo's cause considerably. Johnson played play-ed good defensive ball, and found time to score 6 points. Bill Man-gum Man-gum likewise played a close guarding game, and scored 8 tallies. Bud Eggertsen and Merlin Slack were deadly accurate at the hoop in the last half. Manning was the ione Lehi player able to hit the ring. He made 9 points. Manning put Lehi ahead with a neat goal as the game opened. Mitchell made it 3-0 with a charity chari-ty toss, but Slack and Eggertsen made a goal and foul pitch, respectively, re-spectively, knotting: the count. Manning and Man gum traded baskets and the quarter ended 5-5. Rulon Johnson's long shot put Provo ahead 9-8 just as the half gun sounded.

Advance notices from the far west preceding his first appearance appear-ance here said this 25-year-old brown-haired scrapper was one of the best 160-pounders ever to J draw on a glove. But Freddie, who has been fighting since he was 15 was unimpressive as he defended his title last night in Madison Square Garden with a 15-roand decision victory over Eddie (Babe) Risko of Syracuse, the man from whom Steele won the title in Seattle last July. Steele, in winning the unanimous unani-mous decision of the referee and two judge, turned in a workmanlike workman-like job in scoring hi.i third victory over Risko, but he failed to connect morc than once with the vaunted right which had blotted blot-ted out 21 of the 53 men he has met.

M. C. standings. The Aggies scored 13 times from the field compared with 12 for Montana, but the Bobcats converted 16 foul tosses while the Aggies were making 9. Steady ball rustling and shooting shoot-ing by Red Taylor, red-haired forward, was an important factor in the Bobcats' victory, as was the steady defensive play of Bill Ogle and Pete Vavich. Montana's defense was the best it has exhibited ex-hibited all season. Eddie Exum scored only 7 points, losing ground in the Western West-ern division scoring race to Earl Giles of B. Y. U. Exum maintained maintain-ed a 2-point lead after Friday's :ames. Ryan, Wade, and Bunker were the stars for Utah Aggies, but their great defensive play was hardly sufficient to stop the inspired in-spired Bobcats. The Aggies took an early lead but Montana was ahead 24-19 at the half. Utah State tried desperately desper-ately in the last half to overcome the Bobcat lead, but as the final gun sounded, each team had 16 points for the period. Box score: UTAH STATE G. T. F. P.
