FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Miners Upset Spartans; Meet Beetdiggers Tonight The battling Bingham Miners made an auspicious entry into Class A basketball last Friday, as they won over a favored Murray Mur-ray quint in a one point thriller 48 to 47. This game was the local squads first league game in Class A competition, and showed the spirit and potential that has characterized the fighting Miners Min-ers for many seasons. Murray started out as if to salt the game away in the first few minutes, and ran up a 12 to 3 lead before the Miners could find tiu- range. Bingham tightened up its defensive pattern, and also started to close the gap, on some f.ne shooting by Rekoutis. Bingham Bing-ham jumped into a slim lead in the last stanza and kept control of the ball as the Spartans tried desperately to tie it up. Rekoutis and Butt shook loose for several timely buckets to climax the Miner last quarter rally. De-hlm, Roberts.m, Davis, Mon-toya Mon-toya and the rest of the squad that saw action, all turned in fine pe-rfoi mances and showed that the locals may be reckoned with before the '58 season is over.
