Wyoming's Cowboys boomed into the conference lead by tipping tip-ping Utah, 36-31, while Colorado's Buffs remained in the title race by dumping Denver and Colorado State in its spacious fieldhouse. Eventful Week Ahead The Big Seven title race may reach an early climax this week or .be thrown into a wild scram- ble. Second-place Utah treks east over the Rockies for games witn ColorSTTj arid Colorado State, and can either break Colorado's title "hopes or diop from the championship cham-pionship chase. Wyoming meets Utah State and then faces B. Y. U. for one of its stiffest tests "61 the season.

Frank (Skinny) Fullmer, Dean Gardner, I lovd RrinV. r-d tvi Hunt are all battling for the other forward starting- assignment.. Brink looked good against Colorado Colo-rado State, but Fullmer is given the edge for the first call because he is at his best on the Women's gym floor.

Important Factor-Overly, Factor-Overly, Nielsen, and Esplin are playing consistent ball and form the nucleus of the Cougar quint. jA three came through with good performances.

Feb. 17 m The managerial roster for the 1942 Pioneer League baseball sea- son was complete today with ap- nointment of Bill Delancey. for tner St. Louis Cardinal catcher and world series hero, as pilot of the Pocatello club. Art Routzong, business manager man-ager of the club, announced the signing of Delancey, culminating several months' negotiation. Terms were not revealed. . The new manager will serve as regular catcher for the Pocatello entry, Routzong said, ueiancey was with St. Louis last year, but failed to achieve his 1934 form, when he caught every inning of every game of the world series. Only 21 at that time, Delancey appeared headed for a berth as one of baseball's all-time greats. But the following year he was stricken with a lung infection, and spent most of 1935 in a Phoenix, Ariz., sanitarium. In 1936 Delancey was pronounced pro-nounced cured, and in 1937 he was named manager of the St. Louis farm team at Albuquerque, N. M. la his three years there. Delancey De-lancey produced two championships. champion-ships. Back with the Cardinals last year, Delrvcey played good ball but the long illness apparently had dulletThis major league edge. As a consequence, the young catcher now only 2S decided to stick to the management side of baseball, combining it with play in a somewhat slower circuit. Signing of Delancey eliminates the last question mark in league manaeement. The lineup: BOISE Jim Keesey, former first-baseman for the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league. New this year. Twin Fall3 Andy Harrington, formerly manager of the Boise Pilots. First year at Twin Falls.

Feb. 17 lT.H Heavyweight champi o ns h i p competition may reach a new low at Convention Hall tonight when Joe Louis makes his 14th title defense against Gus Dorazio, but the crowd and gate will set new indoor boxing records for Phila delphia. This 15-round bout between the destructive Brown Bomber and an apparently mediocre Philadelphia Philadel-phia challenger appears so lopsided lop-sided that the state senate has threatened an investigation. However, How-ever, 15,000 fans are expected to contribute about $50,000 for the spectacle. Louis, principal of this "Wool-worth" "Wool-worth" world championship with its top or $5.75, promised to knock out Dorazio as soon as possible. pos-sible. No Batting Most experts figured he would keep his promise. Hence, there was no record of a single bet on the outcome, since the odds were prohibitive. The wage-ring was 2-1 that a dark-haired muscular rtal-lan rtal-lan doesn't even last five rounds, and 5-1 that he doesn't go 10. This is the first heavyweight title fis;ht staged in Philadelphia since the initial Tunncy-Dempsev browl in 192G, which set an all-time all-time outdoor record of 120,757 cash customers. But it is also part of Bomber Joe's fight-a-month tune-up tune-up campaign for his big outdoor defense against Billy Conn 4n June. Hence, when the match was made, two state senators demanded demand-ed an investigation. The senate postponed action until after the bout. Dorazio Younger- Louis is the prohibitive favorite because of his amazing record of 41 knockouts in 49 professional fights, vThereas Challenger Dorazio Dora-zio seems little more than a good local drawing card. Moreover, the Detroit Negro will have advantage advan-tage of punch, weight, height and reach. Dorazio's lone advantage seems to be his age of 23, three year3 younger than the champion, champ-ion, whom some observers have suspected of slipping. : Regardless of . what . happens, Louise will receive 40 per cent of the net gate, probably about $20,000. The challenger gets 12 per cent. . . Gsortsen Named Danuer Golf Pro SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 17 (U.P) John Geertsen. Bonneville club professional, said todav he would leave for D'anver "within a week or so" to familiarize himself with the city's five municipal golf courses, over which he will assume as-sume defection March 1. Geertsen returned to Salt Lake City late Saturday after a 12,000-mile 12,000-mile swing around the winter tourney circuit, and announced acceptance of the Denver offer. The contract calls for Geertsen to serve as professional and director direc-tor of all five courses, and gives him a free hand for promotion of tournaments and other events. S- Driver ART KRENZ 1 V ' i BY 11 w k 1941 TITULAR PREP GAMES OH TAP Alpine and Nebo district teams continue the. important business of determining first and second place winners thia week, with games of titular aspects slated in both leagues Friday. Springville, leading Nebo teams without a defeat, tangles with Juab high at Nephi in the district dis-trict feature. The Red Devils can virtually clinch the title with a victory, but a Juab triumph and that is quite possible on the Nephi floor, would throw the race into a two-way tie and probably necessitate a piayoff. The other Nebo game sends Tintlc to Payson in the battle for third place. Alpine district attention centers cen-ters at Pleasant Grove where B. Y. high defends Its league lead against touted Pleasant Grove, A P. G. victory would move the Vikings into a first- place tie with the Wildcats, while B.Y. high triumph would virtually assure as-sure Coach Dave Crowton's crew of the title and drop P. G. into a three-way tie for second with Provo and American Fork provided pro-vided the latter two win. Provo must win against Lincoln in a game at Orem to retain any of its title chances. The Tigers have been Imp'.-oving and may extend the Bulldogs. In the other Friday game, American Am-erican Fork meets Lehi in a contest con-test that may prove important. If the Cavemen bow to the Pioneers on the Lehi floor, they will lose all tournament hopes. Garter, Uankisr Top Prep Scorers Udell Wankier, Juab forward, has virtually clinched . scoring honors in Nebo district, but Alpine district scorers are staging a wild scramble for top honors. Byron Carter, scrappy Pleasant Grove forward, stepped out in front last week with 85 points, one moret than Earl (Hap) Holm- stead of American Fork. Third place belongs to last week's leader Walt (Pete) Prusse, Provo center, cen-ter, who was held down against B. Y, high. Prussee has 78 points and paces all centers. Top guard in the circuit is Jack . Mitchell of Lehi who has banged the hoop for 61 points, a substantial margin over Shermon Coleman of Provo who has 30, and Bruce Dabling, "Y'' high, with 28. Closest cbmpetition to Wankier in Nebo district is Erwin Hickman, Hick-man, Tintlc center, who has 52 counters. Lynn Powell, Payson, top3 gaurds, with 47 points, the same number as has Eldon Lid-diard, Lid-diard, towering Juab center. Clyde Heath of Payson is second among forwards with 34, and Elliot El-liot Cameron, rugged Springville guard, is second among defensive players with 37. ALPINE DISTRICT Forwards G. T. F. P.
