Eldredge With half the hoop play in this district gone by we find three teams still determined to become the district champions, and the odd part of the situation is that there is a possibility for any of them to attain such an honor. Roosevelt holding first place has thusfar played undefeated, with Uintah pushing hard with one loss and Duchesne following with two losses. Altetra and though a scrappy team, has been pushed out of the running with three losses. Altamont stands one game ahead of Tabiona, who has scored well in every game but has let her opponents her too far. Leaders Have Worries Roosevelt, though having won all previous games, has played the two tougher teams on their home floor, which is always an advantage. However, with a loss of any two games they could still place themselves on top by provided Uintah winning a tie-oalso gets heat once more and Duchesne wins all subsequent games. Uintah could become district leaders by beating all comers, which may be rftther difficult, as she plays the Eagles on the Duchesne floor, and the Rough Riders, who have previously beaten them. Duchesne, it appears, has one chance of leading the league, and that is by winning all subsequent games with Uintah aiding by trouncing the Rough Riders.
