Show Counar Caners Onen D rills For Weekend Battles As Provo Ducats Go On Sale In By DEMAR TEUSCHER ( Early-rising Provo cage fans turned out in the gray light of dawn this morning as tickets for the PYU-Colorada and BYU-Utah State basketball games went on sale at 6:30 a. m. today. Early indications are that, as far as local sales are concerned, good-sized crowds will be oniiand In the Springville high school gymnasium on both Friday and Saturday nights to see the Cats in action. The, Cougars, In the midst of one of their most disastrous dis-astrous basketball seasons in history, hope to salvage at least one of the games from their two Invaders, and loyal fans will be there hoping to see it happen. . Currently resting in sixth place in . Big Seven conference standings, the Cats must win at least one tilt, to keep out of a tie for the league cellar with Colora- Timp Officials Meeting Tonight Officers and directors of the Provo baseball club will meet tonight at 8 p. m. in the north courtroom of the city and county building to lay plans for the coming com-ing Industrial league season. The ball club officials will be meeting with J. Earl Lewis, Provo Pro-vo parks commissioner, and the use and improvements on the ball park will be one of the chief topics of discussion. Harold Makin. newly-elected president of the Timps, stated today to-day that the major item on the agenda of the meeting will be the selection of a manager for next year. Leading candidate for the job is fiery Reed "Lob" Collins, who managed the club last year. Purpose of the meeting is to get the organization of the club all complete so that Provo representatives repre-sentatives may have a good idea of what the local club has in mind when the Industrial league officials meet Friday night in Salt Lake City. Thek Salt Lake' City meeting will set up the Industrial league operating schedule and is also expected ex-pected to set the .league's membership. mem-bership. Five teams from last year are certain to be in the loop, with several newcomers seeking entrance. One team almost certain to get a lot of consideration for a spot in the semi-pro circuit is Gem-mell Gem-mell Club of Bingham, a member of the league several- years ago. Other clubs reportedly seeking entrance to the league include Logan, Ogden and Utah Valley Steelers. $$$m$m$$ $t6o MANY$ mi i ri $ ft DILL J; $ $ 0 Pay 'Em All. Get a Fresh Start!

Not too happy abouthe show ing of the team this year as a whol, Coach Floyd Millet will send his charges through a stiff scrimmage tonight ort the Spring ville floor in an effort to iron out some of the, kinks plaguing the! squad. For a team with as much potential scoring power a the Cougars have, much of the blame for their losses this year comes from their seeming seem-ing inability to hit the hoop when the chips are down, so firing at the bucket will probably get plenty of attention atten-tion In workouts this week. Coach Millet reported that some eight or ten "ridiculously easy set-ups, missed in the last two or three minutes of play. were responsible for the upset loss to Colorado A&M, one team the Cougars had been favored to knock off. This week-end will be plenty rough sledding for the Milletmen, also. Neither Colorado or Utah State have shown any signs of being pushovers, and the aggres sive Aggies in particular, should cause the Cats plenty of trouble. Not even the most loyal fans of the Sons of Brigham expect the Cats to win both . of the games, but hope , springs eternal in the breasts of cage fans, and there are. plenty of whispers of "wishful "wish-ful thinking" along the main drag. f Underneath it all, there are the rumbles of discontent, and all iri all, the whole picture makes for an interesting week-end, especially especial-ly if the Cougars surprise themselves them-selves and win one. Backers of the the Cats say that the best chance will be in the Colorado contest, for the Buffs will be trying to save a little for Utah, and the Cougars will be going go-ing all out in an .effort to salvage their battered reputation.

A., Feb. 18 (U.R) -Joy reached a frenzied peak in this . baseball capitol of the world today as the r latdusn xaun ful o1ohratcH two (Treat events. Firstly, to give it" to you In the vernacular, the Brooklyn Dndffers were embarking on an other almost-holy crusade against those hated St. Louis cardinals Second, Leo Durocher, the manager of the beloved Boms, was back In town and assuring assur-ing all his loyal followers that the bright gold wedding ring he sported had not changed his feeling toward empires." 'hey hadn't trusted that guy cupid anymore than they do a fellowv named George Mager kurth m this home of the rhu barb and the cowbell. So the citizenry were delighted to ob serve that hearts and flowers not withstanding, ere was the same cocky, aggressive anovfignt-wun out-dropping-a-hat Durocher. It was a heartening sigh when the Lip bridled fiercely at men tion of the name of a motion bic ture actress named Laraine Day, who also happens to be Mrs. Du rocher in 47 states, and thevpis-trict thevpis-trict of Columbia. Mention California Cali-fornia to. him, and you are strict ly on your own. Which means thatJ insurance rates are up on bench jockeys, gentlemen with loose and libelous tongues. One of the Lip's first acts was to hold joint court with President Branch Rickey and the great white father allowed him to do most of the talking. It was the supreme sacrifice and clinched the buried hatchet rumors. Leo's .. three new coaches sat in front of him nodding agreement. They are Ray Blades, a chunky, balding man; Jake Pitler, a quiet, gray-haired fellow- with huge hands, and thin, dark -haired Clyde Sukeforth. "I feel we'll have a better club," the Lip said, as if address ing them personally. "Some of our kids have had a years ex perience and Pete Reiser is raring to go. If we had Reiser in the pink for our last 20 games last year, or even our last 10, we'd have walked in to the pennant. As for Jackie Robinson, Montreal's Mon-treal's negro infielder, Leo plans to look at him during practice games. "Does that go for the rest of the Montreal players?" he was asked. "That's right," Durocher roar ed, "there'll be no discrimina tion." As for a prediction on the finish fin-ish of the Dodgers, the Lip re fused. "I'll risk one on that.'I inter rupted Rickey.. "We will not be last." Well. I ll say we'll be in the first eight," Leo Jaughed. "But you can ten tne rest ox the league we'll be in every game." Them s lighting words, and they ave the faithful extremely hap py. Pretty soon they can watch the Lip win the pennant in the day-time and then go to the mov ies at night and watch Mrs. Lir win the her,o.

Ebright will send 12 "scientific" "scien-tific" eight-oared shells skimming skim-ming through the Oakland estuary estu-ary next Monday as be underr takes a new campaign to prove that California still rules the waves despite a three-year wartime war-time layoff.

Only a few Veteran sweep-swingers sweep-swingers are back from their last fall-scale season tn 1943 and Ebright expects just an "average" crew this year. But 1948 should be different.

Ebright awed the rowing world by using the laws of hydro dynamics to produce his champion cham-pion crews. Revolutionizing the rowing stroke, he contended the long'oar pull in vogue" two decades de-cades ago was mis-applying a lot of muscle. "You are at 100 percent efficiency ef-ficiency the law of physics shows us when the oar is at right angles to the boat," Ebright told his - fellow coaches. "The farther you. go forward or past that point ihe more you decrease your efficiency. Simple, huhl" It was so simple the nation's college crews all soon began using a scientific stroke, too but few as successfully as Ebright's own Bears. KOVO Tonight 10 P.M.
