LoCoach Glen Worthington's be gan high school Grizzlies will to making a desperate attempt squeeze into the running for the state tournament tonight when they battle Weber Warriors in the local gymnasium, with the game scheduled to commence at 8 oclock. Still A Chance Logan still has a mathematical chance of getting to the tournament If they can rip Weber, and then follow up by downing South Cache on the Logan floor next week, they will be tied with South Cache for third place provided Ogden whips the Spartans tomorrow night. In that event, Logan and South Cache would have to play off the tie to see Herald-Journ- basketball region one this picks for week end: Logan over Weber The Grizzlies are hot, and have their noses pointed for a sniff of the state tournament. It will be a good fight, though. Ogden over South Cache Unless the Spartans can rise to those heights of which they are capable. After all. Box Elder gave the Tigers a good fight last week. Bear River over Box Elder The Bears win their first game of the season. which quint met the winner of the Rich county schools for the third state tourney berth. Thursday night the Spartans, coached by Con Watts, travel to Ogden for a bitter test. Beaten last week by North Cache, the to Hyrum squad is determined whip Ogden, and thus assure themselves of a state position. Coach Watts will start his regular five, consisting of Ariel Maughau and Doug Shelton, guards; Ralph Maughan, center; Doug Long and Charles Schenk, forwards. They stand a fair chance of beating Ogden, since they downed the Tigers once before but in Hyrum. Confident Coach Worthington, ill since Sunday with the flu, will be at the game tonight, and in a conversation today, expressed confidence that his quint would beat Weber. "The fellows are in good shape, and we are hopeful for a win," he said. Logan is undoubtedly the most improved team in the region, and is favored by many to beat both Weber and South Cacne. Burnsby Crookston has taken his position as a . regular guard, while Bill are Ryan and Roy Humpherys stronger than ever at forward. Allen Wilson and Wayne Smith, guards, and Darwin Larsen, center, complete Worthington's first line. Aggie Matmen Eight M Men Quints Launch Gala Train For Tourney Division Meet Two-Sta- For Buffs Utah State Aggie basketeers, still holding a strong hope that the Big Seven crown is not too remote, prepared this afternoon for their jaunt across the hills where they battle Colorado Buffs Friday night and Colorado State Saturday. Traveling Squad Coach Dick Romney, veteran football and basketball mentor who puts a perennially strong casaba quint into the conference race, declared that his traveling squad would take to the rails Thursday, arriving in Laramie Friday morning, to go by bus to Boulder. He announced that his squad would consist of the starting five Evan Baugh and Floyd Morris, forwards; Roland Reading, center; and Captain Ray Lindquist and Calvin Agricola, besides Bus Bingham and Leonard James, forwards; Charley Clark, guard; Glen Maughon, center; Clyde Morris, center, and one of the following three: Austin Hughes, Harold Simpson and Nick Drackulich. The Eleventh man had not been definitely decided late this afternoon. 'We're hanging onto the chance of upsetting Colorado University, and thus getting back into the championship race, declared Coach Romney as he directed his charges in a. light workout today. "We recognize their strength, and know they are probably the greatest team in the league. But if the Aggies are right, well lick them." Even Chance Utah State, after this weeks will have Colorado State and tour, Utah left to play, but both are home games. Colorado has BYU and Denver, so the chances are about even for both quints. The Buffaloes have never been beaten on their home court since construction of their field house, and Coach Frosty Cox's squad has improved steadily with each weekend. By coupling their famous airtight defense with a spirited offense, however, the Aggies have a 0 chance of emerging victorious. In other Friday games, Utah plays at BYU while Denver crosses over to Wyoming. Saturday night finds Utah State at Colorado and Denver at Utah.
