VIKINGS 38 The Kent Durrant-Paul Peters wrecking crew went to work in their home gym Friday night be fore an overflow crowd and when the barrage was over, the hopes of Pleasant Grove for a win over American Fork were snowed un der by a 57-38 shellacking. Together, Durrant and Peters were more than enougn xo ei fectively stop the Vikings, who were gunning for their lourin straight league winr and collected instead their first loss. Durrant,' all-state center, pierced 'the vaunted Viking defense for 25. points while Peters kept the ball rolling with 18 counters to lead the attack of Coach Don Overly's red-clad cagers. The Forkers grabbed an early lead and rolled all the way, with only the shooting of Harris, Matthews Mat-thews and Hilton keeping the Vikings in the running. Harris hit 16 points to lead the attack. It was the third straight victory vic-tory in Alpine division play for the Cavemen, and kept intact the longest string of victories in the state. DONS 40, SPRINGVILLE 28 The Spanish Fork Dons, de fending Nebo champs, unleashed a potent attack in the final period Friday night at Springville to turn a tight ball game into a walkaway and rack up their third straight win. a 40-28 decision over Springville.

Then the Don offense exploded for 15 points during the final period and that was the ball game. A capacity crowd jammed the Springville gym to see the Red Devils, unbeaten in three starts, taste defeat for the first time. Jones dunked 14 points through the hoop, followed by Nelson with 12 to keep the Dons assault rolling. Black and Miner hit the strings for 7 points each to head the scoring list for Springville. TIGERS 45, WILDCATS 28 The Lincoln high Tigers drew a bead on the basket Friday night and opened a basket barrage that ended only with the Lincolnites carving out their first Alpine division di-vision win, a resounding 45-28 decision over BY High. The Tigers had been rated slight underdogs, but they erased that idea in the opening open-ing quarter. With Kay Mad-- Mad-- sen and Stan Cole hitting the basket with regularity, the Bengals rolled Into a lead they never did relinquish. With a halftime deficit of 28-7, the ' Wildcats started to roll in the third period and made their only serious threat of the game, but the alert Lincoln crew took over again in the final frame. Lavell Edwards and Stan Cole each collected nine counters, but they had to take a back seat as Kay Madsen split the strings for 13 points for scoring honors as well as turning in a flossy floor game. LIONS 37, TINTIC 19 With big Russ Hillman leading the way with an 18-point per formance, the Payson Lions un sheathed their claws for the first time this year in Nebo division play and carved out a 37-19 win over Tintic. It was not until two minutes before the end of the third quarter quar-ter that the losers connected with their first field goal, and by that time, Hillman and company were far out in front. The Payson crew was playing the best ball, they have displayed in league play this season, but they were made to look even better bet-ter by the absolute inability of the Tintic players to hit the hoop. Accuracy on the foul line was the only thing that kept the Eureka Eur-eka team in the game at all. D. Hudson got 6 points, all on foul throws, to take top scoring honors for the losers.

Dimple-faced Mauriello scored a technical knockout over John Thomas of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., last night in two rounds at the Olympic stadium. The bout, his second since Louis socked him to sleep in the second round of their heavyweight title fight late last summer, seemed to give him a new lease on life. Jaunty and grinning in the dressing room, Mauriello said that he was starting out on a nationwide na-tionwide barnstorming tour to prove I m the guy to meet Louis."
