Dugway last Saturday, but that was enough to take their fourth win of the basketball season, 98-8Hill's Ruben Arthur racked up 38 points, most of them coming from close range where he dominated the middle of the key, pushing Dugway 's big men around like toothpicks. He tallied the high points enroute to the victory and was joined by teammates John Smith, who reached into the range with 21 markers, James Lassiter, who added 15 points, and Bentley Allen, who finished off the double-figur- e scorers with 11 points. "The first minutes they were ahead of us; in fact, they were up 12-- 2 during the opening of the game," said Guy Raphael, varsity basketball coach. "We were cold to start, but once we warmed up, we warmed up the entire gymnasium. Arthur and Smith warmed up the iron and that started the blood pumping through the team. ."We did have our restrictions however. It's obvious we had to overcome a real hardship because we only had six players.

Lundee had little trouble hitting from three-poin- t range, canning six buckets from the outside bombing line. His action ended early in the second half when he was relegated to the bench for collecting five personel fouls. "We had to get rid of this guy," said Raphael. "He has a pure shot and was deadly from outside. We didn't have the numbers on the bench to stay with his pace. Fortunately for us, I don't think they used him to his potential, especially in the inside. They didn't utilize his height." Hill had its troubles with fouls as well. With six minutes remaining in the game, three of the Falcons were teetering on the brink of personal foul ejection. Defensive adjustments had to be taken into account and the Hill five were forced into a stay-hom- e type of play. . c o "I am real pleased for Arthur. We stayed with the pace of the game," said Raphael. "He got his points and stayed out of foul trouble." Arthur, who paces the Falcons with a near per game average, was tagged with a technical in the second half of the bout when he took a breakaway pass and jammed it through the iron.
