Class Schedule A speeded-up schedule of classes has been approved at Provo high school by Superintendent J. C. Moffitt to allow students who desire to attend the tournament. Classes will be held right through the morning until 12:40 each day. The Provo high school band will play at the tournament Wednesday, Weight said. However, all student participation m connection with the tourney is voluntary, he pointed out. Utah county's representatives face strong foes in opening open-ing round play. Salina, after winding up league play in the runnerup spot, won the North Sevier round-robin playoff tourney to enter the cagefest. Morgan, which. Provo beat last year on its march to the title by a slim margin, walked off with Summit division div-ision honors to stamp itself as a dangerous contender. Weber is one of the tourney favorites, having won the Cache-Ogden division title.

The list posted by Colonel Winn named 150 of the finest three-year-old horses in America.- it was topped by Mrs. Al Sabath's Alsab, the 1941 juvenile champion, and included almost every promis ing youngster who came up to the races a year ago. "I believe that the derby will be wide open," he said. "As I see it, there is no outstanding candi date. But there are more than a score of classy three-year-olds from which the winner may come." Horsemen generally shared Col onel Winn's opinion. Alsab went into winter quarters with a grea.t reputation and the position of early derby favorite. But he has finished in the money only once in four Florida starts and most of his better rivals haven't yet been In action.
