Show Dugway Downs Wcildover 58-2- 9 In Final Home Tilt Mogus, Buckingham, Tooele Bowlers Installed In Utahs Hall of Fame Saturday night, in special ceremonies, Tooeleans, Mike Mogus and Bill Buckingham will be installed in Utahs Hall of Fame for bowlers. It will be an unprecedented first since this marks the first time Tooele bowlers have received such high accolades for their accomplishments on the maplewood. After cutting a wide swath throughout Utah bowling circles, Buckingham has turned his athletic talents to golf and doesnt bowl competitively any more. Mo- gus still makes his presence known in bowlding circles. As late as 1980, Mike with partner Paul Lewis won the Utah State Bowling Assn. (USBA) doubles championship. No one questions the fact that Mike Mogus is a bowling veteran. It was in 1938 that he was first introduced to the sport of bowling as a pin boy (in those days there were no mechanical pin setters) in Canton, Ohio. From there Mike progressed to a bowler in the junior and high school leagues. After a stretch in the Air Force Mike came to Utah and became a member of the Salt Lake Bowling Assn, in 1959. He has also been a member of the American Bowling Congress for more than 30 years. For more than 20 years Mogus carried an average in excess of 190 pins. He has a high series of 769 - an average of 285 for three games and has a high game of 278 and carried a high average of 202 in ABC sanctioned tournaments. Among his many accomplishments, Mike participated in six ABC national tournaments, repre- sented thestate of Utah in the BPAA national tournament in Dallas, Texas in 1964, won the SL singles title in 1971, won SL team title in 1976, won state doubles championship in 1977 and 1980, (bowling with Paul Lewis, the doubles team record of 1370 pins set in 1980 stills tandsds), won 1973 and was named Ritz-classi- c most improved bowler in SL masters league the year he improved his average from 192 to 202. Throughout his bowling career Mike has also served in numerous official capacities, such as league secretary, Tooele City secretary and director, Utah State presi- dent, traveling league secretary and has served as a delegate of bowling association meeting on all levels.s Bill Buckinghams achievements in the bowling lanes are just as impressive as Mogus, with per- - haps the highlight of his career coming in 1961 when he represented Utah in the BPAA tournament in Miami Florida. Bill cant remember how many Tooele City titles he has won, but he remembers that he bowled on teams state championthe ship team twice, was the state round robin champion twice, was champion of the Holt lanes midseason classics two times, won the Ritz Classic doubles title bowling with Max Guss, three times a chammember of the SL pionship team, and won the SL doubles championship in 1962 with Bill Ward as his doubles partner. For more than 10 years Bill carried a average, with his high series being a 749 and a high 190-plu- s game of 279. Bill Buckingham and Mike Mogus without question are two of the finest bowlers in Tooeles history and it is bnly fitting that both of them should be in Utahs Bowling Hall of Fame. That little detail will be taken care of Saturday night when they join the finest bowlers in Utah by being en- shrined in the prestigious Hall of Fame. The Dugway Mustang basketball team continued its supremacy in Region Eleven action with a win over the Wendover 58-2- 9 Wildcats Wednesday at Dugway.

We havent been challenged since we were beaten by South Summity early in the season. Since then Dugway has yet to lose and has scored more points than Rudy Valentino. "The division is particularly weak this year, said the Dugway coach. "We have nothing to gauge our progress with. The Mustangs used a press to race off to 14-- first quarter lead and it was uncertain whether Wendover would get past the single digit mark by the time this thing was over. At halftime Dugway led by 25 at 29-"We were trying to stay within 20, said Wendover coach Dean Stringham. "If we would have tried to run with these guys they would have scored 90 points. So the Wildcats slowed the pace and tried to keep within striking distance. "We figured if we could stay within 10 buckets we might have a chance," said the Wendover coach. Wendover has only two seniors on the squad after three players vacated the squad three weeks ago for various reasons. full-cou- rt 2 - "This is the third team we have used this season." said Coach Stringham. By the end of three quarters Dugway had run the lead to 46-1- 5 ir and play became ragged as the teams and crowd waited for the fiasco to finish. 'T knew Wendover was down but I didnt think it would be this bad.

Dugway kept its perfect Region Eleven record intact with victory Dugway-Wendov- er 58-2- 9 over Wildcats. The Dugway coach lightened up and dropped his players back into a half court trap.
