IB.D.A.A. FLASHES . by Jim Abplanalp ELECT BASEBALL MANAGER The BDAA Board of Directors in the meeting Monday night, voted unanimously for the selec-tion of Don Gust as the new base ball manager. Don will take over the reins of the BDAA nine in the new Utah State League, and should do a fine job. Don has had a lot of baseball experience, throughout his high school ca-reer, then playing in the old Utah Industrial league, and has had three or four years in the pro-fessional ranks. Last season he performed at third base for the local ball club, and has played at nearly every position. With Don's experience and interest in the BDAA sports programs, the Board of Directors feel they have made a wise selection.
