But a couple of buckets by Tooele erased that and with the aid of the foul line, the Buffaloes pulled steadily away. Tooele hit 27 field goals and 16 of 26 foul shots while Bear River had 24 field goals and 12 of 22 from the floor. The Bears hit the defensive boards very well in the first half but were more cautious, giving Tooele more second shots in the second half and that was a big factor. man-for-ma- Buffs bruise Bears It was Coach Paul Jeppesens first opening loss in three years, but his Bear River Bears showed a good offense and fine defense for most of three quar ters before losing to Tooele High school Friday night in Tooele.

Coach Gary Rohmer was very pleased with his teams defense, holding Wyomia more than 20 points below their season average of 88 points. And his teams ball handling was good, too, as only 12 Eagle turnovers were made. Standish paced the Eagles in their big win over defending State Champions South Summit. The slender center poured in 22 points, including nine in a big comeback the fourth quarter that erased a seven-poideficit SS held at the end of the third. Tom Querta proved the final hero, however, as he sank two foul shots with time gone to win the game. The Eagles held a 0 lead with less than two minutes left and watched South Summit tie it up with 48 seconds to play. Rohmer called time out and directed his players to go for one shot. Querta went in for the 8 half, The Bears opened the second half with their backdoor offense but fell behind and that was the margin pretty much through the third.

They pack a tent, icebox, sleeping bags, a lantern and food aboard their craft and spend weekends even extended at campsites along vacations the shores of lakes and streams. Since space aboard most family boats is bmited, it is necessary to carefully plan the type and amount of gear that ;oes along. To aid those who ave considered trying boat camping, the outdoor recreation staff at Mercury outboards offers some suggestions to bghten the camping load, and make an outing more enjoyable. Depending upon the number of persons in your family, it is possible that two small tents will pack better than a single large one. Also consider the space- - and weight-savin- g nylon tents that backpackers use; some take no more room than a loaf of bread. Food should be repacked m containers that hold the amount ou intend to use and no more, mall jars of sugar, coffee, salt and other staple goods usually last for several days. Be sure to pack some folding campstools. Several of these wifi take little room m a boat and they add a great deal of comfort to your campout. Some even have folding backs. If you cook over a wood fire, pack a small wire grill wrapped in - edge with a quarter left.
