Again on Friday Friday of this week, the six quints line up for another full night of basketball. North Cache plays host to Weber, South Cache travels to Box Elder, and the Bears and Grizzlies square off at Logan Came time in all occasions is 8 oclock. Realizing a state tourney berth would almost leave their reach with defeat, the Grizzlies from Logan just wouldn't let North Cache take the lead toward the game's S6-1- 7 54-4- 7, 6, Region Court Progress InACapsule Sets Vita Match The championship of the Bear River Rifle League may well be determined Thursday night at the ROTC rifle range at the college, although the league season will be but half over, when the undefeated teams of the Logan Rifle and Pistol Club and the USAC Rifle Club meet in competition for the first time this year.

Ail signs point to a close match, as the Logan aggregation, losers of only one match in three seasons, meet a younger crew which .includes two of the men who helped, in former years, to build that envi- ible record. Dick Stillman ano Gene Moore, Logan key men the past two years, have added strength to the student club this end. Intermission Logan held a lead, but in the last canto the Bulldogs thought nothing of It. 18-1- 1 1 for With the count reading Logan with five minutes to go, due to some valuable play by Ottis Newbold, who replaced the Injured Raymond Hansen, and Dave Sorenson, Earl Reese hit a drive-k- t shot to pull the home team 25-2- season. Despite these losses, however, the Logan gunners have compiled the highest average In the League to date, averaging 1405 to the student average of 1392 over three matches fired. The I.ogan line-u- p still includes W. S. Boyle and Jay well, state champions, respect- - elose At this time, victory was scented earnestly for the first time by par23-2- tisan fans, and the house went wild. Then, with three minutes to rlay, Wilford Geddes bucketed a foul pitch to make It 4 for Logan. The Grizzlies continued to try to stall the ball, and by so doing Dave Sorenson made good a foul pitch with two minutes left. North Cache took the ball out and with 58 seconds showing on the clock, Geddes made good his second of two charity tosses to pull the Bulldogs men, teamed with Jay Jensen and Rex E. Robinson, are four of the five men who took the Idaho team championship last year, setting a new national record in the process. 25-2- closer, Rifle Loo Record-Holde- rs Stillman was the fifth member the record-holdin- g team, and, with Moore, joined Howell, Boyle, and Walter Houston in bringing Logan the Utah gallery team title last spring. ( Present ranking of the shooters in the Leagues individual standings, reveal the uphill battle faced by the college riflemen in Thursdays match, for while they have but three men among the high eleven shooters in the league, the match-wis- e Logan crew has placed seven In that charmed circle. Boyle, with a match average of 288, is far ahead of his pursuers. Duane Hatch, of. the college group, and Jensen, Logan, are tied for second place; Stillman, USAC, and Robinson, Logan, share fourth place; Moore, USAC, and Howell, Logan, are tied for sixth. Three Logan gunners, O. R. Thatcher, Bill Cotter, and Ray Murdy are tied for ninth place. Confident The college shooters have expressed greatest confidence In handing the league and two-stat- e champions their first defeat in two years. The Logan riflemen, pren senting a lineup rich with match and tournament experience from top to bottom, are relying upon their second-lin- e men y to the less experienced reserves of the USAC aggregation. These men, Biuce Ross, Robert Blanchard, and Kenneth Hacking, have fired well in the early matches, but have avereged several points less than their opposites in the Logan team. of 25-2- 6.

As usual, the cage artists from the Provo Y" came from behind to do it. Thats their habit. But If past performances hold, they have a good chance of staying there. Not only this season, but next, too. Six Wins The Skyline Six standings give BYU six victories and three defeats. That gives them a percentage of .667. Denver University has the same but with only four wins and two losses. The highly touted University of Utah Redskins, who have shown signs this last week of coming apart at the seams, and the equally-vaunte- d Wyoming Cowboys are half a game behind the leaders, each with five victories and three defeats. Utah State, with only three wins In nine starts, and the Colorado Aggies, with one narrow triumph and seven losses, trail far behind.
