A large crowd of fans was on hand to see the Bulldogs lose their initial contest. This leaves their pre-season record standing at six wins and one loss. The Bulldogs have one more game with Jordan before beginning their free-lance schedule with Carbon, Davis, Ogden and several B teams of the area. Coach Simmons expressed hope at the season's start that he would be happy to break "even in his pre-season tilts. His boys have developed splendidly and have certainly exceeded the hope of their veteran mentor. So much so, that up-state scribes are touting tout-ing them to repeat as Class A champions. Friday's game was featured by the sensational play of Wally Clark, all-state Granite performer. perform-er. He personally engineered 27 points through the iron hoop to lead his team to victory. The game was unusual in that the Bulldogs had only three trips to the foul line, as compared to the 11 tries for the Farmers. Provo matched Granite in field goals, each team scoring 15, but the six pqints margin in free throws accounted for the Farm- a t en noriAr! t r Clark led a furious beginning attack to put Granite ahead 10-2 in the early minutes of the game. The Farmers maintained an eight point 15-5 lead at the quarter. Green, Christensen, Oldroyd and company fought back to almost al-most tie the score 19-21 at the half. After the rest period the Bulldogs Bull-dogs tied the count. 21-21, then 23-23, and 25-25. At this point Clark again unloosed and put the Farmers away to a 37-31 final.

These schools have al ways been serious contenders for basketball honors down Nebo way. Nephi particularly has compiled com-piled an enviable record in the casaba sport. Many Provo fans will remember the days of Glen Worthington and Paul Grace. During their hey day Lob Collins, Sanky Dixon and company found all the competition they needed from the boys in the Juab metropolis. met-ropolis. Other great players to receive their prep training at Juab are Carl Belliston, f ormef Utah' Aggie ace; the three Nephites, Bryce Bailey, Maynard Bailey and Clark Greenhalgh of the present "Y" squad, and many others. Coach Theron Snyder, present I Wasp mentor has developed some better than ordinary teams at Nephi. Last year for example, they forced the Spanish Fork Dc ns into a play-off for a tourney berth Coach Snyder reports things don't look so rosy this year. All five regulars, Lyle Park, Merlin Boswcll, Don Jones, Verl Garret and Paul Belliston have-gone the way of all good high school students stu-dents and left via the graduation route. Three returning lettermen are back to give Snyder somewhat of a nucleus, however, he clearly pointed out that none are over-i- rdened with experience, except at bench warming. These returning return-ing squad members are: Norris Christensen, forward; Elvin Cole, guard and Grant Nielsen center. These lads must have assimilated something while getting splinters in their pants, because 1946 will find them regulars on Coach Snyder's current edition. The balance of the squad will be selected almost entirely from Juniors and Sophomores. Those trying to catch, Theron's eye are: George Kendall, center; Jerinis Boswcll, guard; Tommy Woolf, forward, Kenneth Kay, guard; and Romaine Magnulson, forward. In addition four seniors are out to make a final try for the old school. These are Neldon Stanley, Bob Belliston, Bill Hoyt and Don Steele. Stanley in particular is demonstrating possibilities and may win a coveted starting assignment. Ask about his chances in coming com-ing Nebo play Coach Snyder did not impress as being unduly opti mistic. His pre-seasoo record justifies his pessimism. He thinks Spanish Fork and Payson will be too tough to handle but philo sophically maintains that there are other years ahead. Tintic Miners have been doing a good job considering the ob-sticles ob-sticles they have been playing under. For the past two seasons they have been mentored by Lee "Seven Up" Bird, versatile Provo Timp diamond star. Bird has been working at his regular job and coaching on the side. The record he compiled is not to be sneered at, as other Nebo teams can vouch. For 1946 Art Hughes, former Springvillc coach has been hired. Hughes is really pessimistic about his chances. He believes he will be lucky to win a game against the formidable clubs he meets. p His players are small and inexperienced in-experienced and hence he has started on a building program whereby he hopes to develop a contending team in a year or so. Pre-season comparative scores are notoriously unreliable, but they do indicate that Coach Hughes' crying towel is not actually actu-ally as wet as he pretends. In fact although the Miners do not boast an enviable pre-season record, they have done as well against the same opposition as many of the teamsxin the entire region. Boys trying to earn their T's this season are: Lee Runnels, Tintic High Glen Lee, Bob Colovich, ' Dick ! Franks, f . Gillisoie. Lynn Brady. Billy East- I Peart, f . . wood, Billy Tinder, Leon Hutch- lngs, Don Hatchings and Bill Pearct. This column firmly believes that the clouds in Juab county are not as dark as they appear. In fact he will hazard the guess that most of the teams in- Nebo division wil' know they have been playing a basketball game after having met either Nephi or Eureka.
