The game was one of the final tough practices lor the Cougar cagers before .Ihey tangle with the Utah State r Farmers in Logan Friday and Saturday nights. The Salt Lake team with such former Utah university aces as Deb Smith. Vaughn Bennion, Merlin Mer-lin Ahlquist, and Blaine Open-shaw, Open-shaw, in the lineup, took a 11-10 11-10 lead at half-time, but they couldn't hold their advantage against the continual stream ol Cougars that Coach Floyd Millet sent pouring into the game. Big Dale Rex and Captain Flovc' Giles were the leaders of the Cougar iloor work, but it wai; sophomore Cy Thompson who provided the surprise of the evening. Although he dul not play very long, he potted four field goals and one foul pitch to come through with the margin of victory vic-tory just when the Cougars needed need-ed it most. .Thompson's performance made it clear that the race fpr the other forward position on the Millet aggregation is still wide open. Joe Winters, the other leading candidate for the position posi-tion also played some nice ball. Junior Child also showed up well the time he was in. TTale Rex led the Cougars scoring with 10 points to top Deb Smith who got nine for the losers. Millet used every man on his team, but the slippery if.oor and the tight defense of both teams prohibited much scoring. The floor, whien had evidently just been waxed, was so slick that neither team could get off a jog. Millet is planning to give the boys one more heavy workout tonight and then taper off Thursday Thurs-day night before leaving Friday morning for Logan.

We encountered Dusek last night in a cold, bleak dressing room beneath St. Nick's arena, where he had performed in one of the show's feature events. With a newspaper under his feet, to prevent contact with the fiigid concrete floor, squat Dusek towelled himself vigorously after his shower before climbing into his clothes.

And he was limping about because of the "bone lice" in his left knee. Dusek, of the sparse brown hair and battered countenance, said: "Ycu want me to tell you something some-thing funny about wrestling, because be-cause everyone regards it as a joke today. Well. I'll tell you something funny the acrobatic tactics that have made wrestling the laughing stock of the land are the very things they're teaching our boys in uniform. ' During the past 10 years wrest ling went acrobatic because the fans Wanted to see action. They were not satisfied with the slow movement of two men on the mat. So the wrestlers concenrated on action off the mat - the flying tackle, the flying headloek, the airplane head-scissors, the forearm fore-arm batterings, etc. "Maybe the kicks te. the groin, he strangleholds, the eye gouges, the nose breakers and the arm crushers whieh we put over in an-tomin? an-tomin? were- not as deadly, as the fans might wish, but at least our play-acting taught us how to. use thenv'as killer weapons, if we so desired." , Rudy Dusek, eldest of eight wrestling brothers four pros and four amateurs will be 42 next month. He has been grappling for 25 years, during which time he has earned "more than $300,000." "The war," he said, has helped our sport in two big ways: rl) Practically every kid in any branch of the service is being taught modern, off-the-mat wrestling, wrest-ling, and (2) war industries have given the fans plenty of money to go to the bouts in the cities where wrestling is staged. "When the -war is over, the kids who learned modern wrestling and its murderous implications in the various branches of the armed services, will be red-hot fans, even if they know we're not going all but when we stick our thumbs into in-to an opponent's eyeball."

J SPORTS HUDDLE Bv, DeMAR TEUSCHEK KUMP LOSS BLOW TO SPORTS LaVar Kump, colorful little sports figure of B Y. U and Provo Timps fame, will do all his work for Uncle Sam from now on, but he is gping to be sorely missed miss-ed from the sports picture during the present year. Kump volunteered volunteer-ed for immediate induction into the army Voluntary Officers Training group and passed his examination with flying colors. The stocky 'little firebrand was one of the most colorful players to perform in this area for some time. A home town boy, he gained gain-ed regional recognition while playing a bang-up game of basketball for Brigham Young university. Kump played on the same teams with such men as Earl Giles, Ralph Crowton, and Marlow Turpin, and they made the Cougars one of the most respected res-pected aggregations in the inter-mountain inter-mountain region. Following his graduation from B. Y. U. Kump followed his athletic ath-letic career in baseball, playing iirst at shortstop, and then at third base for the Provo Timps. He was a contributing factor when the Timps won the Industrial Indus-trial League championship two years ago, with his timely hitting and reckless base running. He also kept in condition for basketball, playing on several of the better independent1 teams 1 hi tho'area such as the Utah Valley All-Stars. He was athletic director and physical education instructor at the Timpanogos school at the time cf his induction, and has also helped Coach Glen Simmons with his Provo high school basketball team, serving as assistant coach upon occasions. Kump never learned the meaning mean-ing of the word ' ouit" when applied ap-plied to sports or anything else, and his tendency to keep on lighting light-ing no matter the odds, pulled many a game out of the fire. LaVar La-Var will make a great officer, arc his qualifications will stand him in good stead when goes into action in the Big Game.

As in the 6-7-10 spare, the 6 pin does the work in the 4-6-7-10, taking the 4 and 7 while the ball gets the 10. In this case, however, the ball must be cut a little thinner into the 6 to give it more of a lateral motion, as opposed to the almost diagonal direction of that pin in the 6-7-10.
