The mishap occurred about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. Billie R. Rolfe, 28, 2575 Lester St. 1560 West), was reported in fairly good condition Tuesday night at St. Mark's Hospital. His injuries included severe lacera-tions and bruises. The accident occurred near the top level of the Bingham Canyon open pit copper mine, Utah Cop-per Division, when Mr. Rolfe, an employe of Utah Construction Co., was driving the first load of waste from a project. The truck apparently went out of control near a curve, said Salt Lake County Deputy Sheriff Elmer Pantalone. There was some gravel on the road and "he apparently lost control of the Euclid end-dump- ", he said. The truck traveled more than 400 feet down a ravine near the road and the driver was thrown from the vehicle just before it hit the bottom. The bed and wheelbase of the mammoth machine landed about 200 feet from the cab, the deputy said. The truck rolled over sev-eral itmes before finally coming to rpst.

Sports Here and There byAlAblett Fullmer and Jenson are both home and Gene is resting after the Robinson fight. Jenson went to New York to meet with Jim Norris, president of the I.B.C. on Gene's immediate future. I un-derstand he has a June fight com-ing up in N. Y. and Jenson says that there will be a national TV show from West Jordan in July. No opponents have been named for either fight as yet. Robinson told Gene when they were both on the Ed Sullivan show that he would like to retire. I am sure this is so, but it won't be this year, because the "Sugar Man" needs another good pay day. Gene may get his shot but I think it will be through an elim-ination tournament, and contrary to the opinion of many Gene will do all right, because most of the other boys in the division fight the same style as he does. Not many around that has real box-ing skill and a punch hard enough to stop the West Jordan boy. Looking over high school base ball in Utah, I am astounded by the number of boys and schools taking part. The only thing that is lacking in high school ball is coaching. Not too many of our coaches have had too much base-ball experience. Bingham has been very fortunate in this re-spect. First we had Santistevan and Sandy was a dedicated man, now we have Delmar Schick and Del knows the answers. But with the Utah colleges going in for baseball I am sure that it won't be long until the high schools will be staffed by good baseball men. Our local high school won their division, and are now preparing to go into the playoffs. Coach Schick has a very young club but they hustle and are a pretty fair defensive club. His hitters are coming along fine at this stage, so they will give a good account of themselves. The date and place for the quarter finals hasn't been set as yet but it looks like it will be down south. The Bees hit a snag in there series with Billings at home, af-ter having completed a good road trip. The only place I fault this club is in their pitching. I am sure that Eddie Leishman . will correct this. Will say it is the most interesting club the Bees have had in some time. The scouts are hot on the trail of Curtis Jensen the U of U short stop. Curtis is just as good a baseball player as he is basket-ball. Not being a skyscraper I think his best chance is in base-ball. Tommy Lovat, the local high school catcher, is another one the bird dogs like. Tommy has size and power going for him. Too bad about Herb Score the Cleveland Indians' great young left hander. He was hit in the eye by a ball from the bat of Gil McDougall of the Yankees. Last reports say he won't lose the sight. He will be out for some time. How about Ted Williams? Ted CITYCOUNCIL The city council held its first meeting for May at the City hall last Friday night according to Eugene Morris, recorder.
