The other team qualifying Friday was Provo. Last year was the first time almost within memory that the Beetdiggers did not make the tournament, and this season they roared back with a vengeance, dogged determination, and a balance of power that the other Region Four teams have been unable to stop. Again Friday, the Diggers had four men scoring in double figures, and a fifth tallied 8 points. Cyprus found Jordan had too many men to watch, and was unable to keep pace, though Ivan Turpin rolled in 20 points to cop the honors. Cyprus played on a basis for a while, and led at the end of the first quarter, 1817. By half time the Diggers had forged ahead, 33 23, r but at the mark the Pirates had fought their way back to trail by only 4544. In the last quarter the Diggers 57-5- g basket-for-bask- three-quarte- Elder Thorpe B.

The Lancers quickly bounced 16-- 4 into lead, but the Miners kept chewing away at it until they finally squeezed one point in the third quarter. ahead, But Granger pulled ahead at the end again, to lead, of the third quarter and kept ahead the rest of the way. The Miners, though tough, have not been a real power this year and will have to hurry to carve a niche for themselves in the state tournament bracket. But watch out for the Miners the next couple of years, for their regulars consist of one senior, one junior, and three sophomores. By the time that bunch is finished, a lot of teams in the region will have seen far too much of them. 4-- 3 i 42-4- 1 Former Resident Win Honor for Sports Activity Mickey Scanlon, Salt Lake, a former Midvale resident, was the recipient of the annual Hot Stove League award and was praised last Friday night for his interest in the American youth during a period of his life when he was through as a player, manager, and umpire.
