This time the villian was the Juab Wasps, whose two points in the overtime period gave them a 41 to 39 victory. It was the Wasps last half play and especially the last quarter, that gave them the victory, as Worthington and Park started hiting, while the 'Cats missed frequently and threw away their basketball mentor will be Don Snow, former B. Y. High and B. Y. U. star. Don Snow was a graduate of B. Y. High and was a star on the Wildcat team. In his senior year he led the division scorers with 120 points in twelve games. He also went to the B. Y. U., from which he graduated. He then served in the army with our football coach, Owen Dixon, and they became very good friends, and have continued that friendship through the years. On his discharge from the army, he took over the hoop duties at Millard for one year (1946). Then North Summit grabbed him and he has been there ever since. His record at N. S. has been a good one and in last years hoop season he gained a split in two games against the Wildcat crew, something not many teams were able to do. He also kept his N.S. Braves a contender right up to the last game in the Summit division. Mr. Snow should be here around New Years. The reason for the delay is due to the fact that a replacement has to be found before he will leave North Summit. Using a brand of ball similar to B. Y.s, he weaves, uses the post and does a lot of driving. His principal defense is with a moderate switch. He keeps his boys on their toes and installs the will to win into them. This applies not only to basketball but .also to track and tennis which he will also coach. man-to-ma- passes. Led by Stan Collins and Eldon Lloyd, the Wildcats rolled up a 3 halftime lead. But Juab slowly but surely closed the margin till with but a few seconds left the score was 39 to 38 ioi B. Y. High when a Wasp player was fouled anci the foul shot was good to tie up the ball game. Juab then got the jump and worked the ball in for two points. Dixon's boys then tried hard but Juab got the ball on the rebound and kept the ball for the win.
