Basketball The Dixie Flyers took one on the chin FROM THE BENCH By JEFF HOLLAND Attend Well, the curtain has fallen on the ICAC basketball picture for another year. The Dixie Rebels are finishing up their schedule with three nonleague games this week. They meet the University of Utah Freshmen Thursdav and Saturday nights on the Salt Lakers floor and travel to Provo Friday I evening to meet the BYU Junior Varsity. he Ute Papooses will be an unfamiliar team to Coach f.nglestead's charges but the BYU JayVees will tie like old colleagues. The Rebels entertained this same team prior to the opening the ICAC season and divided the contests with them. The Rebels won the meeting. The opener in an overtime but went down to defeat the second tells the tale time third of those one could be night meeting Friday affairs. I doubt if anyone has heard about this but the Dixie Glee Club was led by some rather novel cheerleaders during the Rebels' Ricks and Weber games Brinton, Thomas, and Harman are hoarse, stiff, and a little the worse for wear hut they really aroused the old Dixie spirit. Seems exthey even had a few of the townspeople joining in on a few of the finale their in luck to DJ.C. the cagers Well, good temporaneous yells. this week end As for the Dixie Flyers there are still green pastures ahead. The High School bunch meets the undefeated Enterprise Wolves in the field house tonight to round out their season play. The real story will be told next week, though, when the Flyers travel to the Region 10 playoff (to be held in the Millard Division this year) to qualify for a state tourney berth. Our boys have to play the second place team from the Millard division (Probably Parowan), beat them, play the winner of the Cedar-anprobably Beaver game, and win that one to qualify. Only one of these four teams will qualify, along with Lr.teipn.se and Delta, to represent Region 10 at the George Albert Smith ie!dhouse at Provo the next week. Good luck, men. tournament The St. George LDS Third Ward won the Junior at Las Vegas last week end which entitles these boys to represent the 2nd District at the playoffs in Salt Lake next week. on This corner would like to congratulate John Phoenix, an last years state runner-u- p Flyers. He was given the trophy for the outstanding player in the tournament, which took into consideration not only his playing ability but also his sportsmanship, his representation of the church, and several other aspects. Congrats also to Ken Reber and Fred Evans of this same team, who were placed on the All Star team. Dick Whitehiad won a spot on the All Star second team. Here's hoping that these boys show that "theyre from Dixie" at the All Church meet. Turn out and support the Tlyers tonight and we'll see you next week. d BYU Sports Day A team of 15 high school and Colcollege girls representing Dixie 26 Provo to traveled February lege to participate in the BYU Sports Day on Saturday. The Dixie girls w'on all their basketball games but the final one w'hich they lost to Weber, 10-Our girls defeated the CSU team 31-thus retaining possession of the miniature axe CSU presented to the victorious Dixie girls last year. It is similar to the traditional axe exchanged between CSU and Dixie for the victors in boys athletic events. The girls axe tradition came into being in the 1959 Sports Day at BYU when Dixie downed CSU. The names of the girls on this team are inscribed on the axe which is on display in the trophy case at the gymnasium. 29-1- 7 During the lunch hour of the Sports Day, the visiting teams were served a luncheon and entertained with a program. Each team was welcomed and favors representing basketball players were presented to each girl. n all-stat- , i- X' -i - . half-tim- e development rather than strict com- petition, no awards were given. The axe award is just between Dixie and CSU and is not a part of the 39, 43. BYU event. High scoreman for the Flyers Other schools represented at the meet were: USU.

Two of the girls, Mary Jay Hall and Lida Brooks, represented the Dixi eWIA as referees for other schools. .: Everyone enjoyed herself .and "i sure benefited much in the ex-- o "fence and the new "mod reports Miss Hunsaker. 1 a AS THE SECOND quarter got underway the Dixie fans had plenty to cheer for as the Walt Brooks team shoved its way to a score. The one blight on the Dixie hopes, was the loss of defensive ace, Raymond Forbes. His leg was severly injured late in the second quarter as the FTyers attempted a full court press. Then came this High Schools traditional third quarter blues. With the type of determination Sark likes in his football team, the Cedar boys began to crawl back. The scoreboard glowed a grim Dixie 36, Cedar 33 at the finish of the third quarter of play. Still the Flyers hung on, but all to no avail. The Redmen caught and passed the frantic Dixie crew. With Cedar 41, Dixie 39 and 40 seconds left in the ballgame there w'as a scramble for the ball under the Dixie basket. Ross Hurst emerged from the mad tangle of flying arms and legs and laid the ball into the basket admist the shriek of the referees whistle and the deliriously happy screams of the Dixie supporters, cries of, two and one, rose from the St. eGorge ranks. It looked like the ball game w'as iced for the Flyers. THEN A CRY rose from the op- posite side of the gymnasium, re .eali that the fourwas on Hurst of Dixie.
