In the A league, Too Cold to Hold and Fresh are both undefeated, thanks in part to strong efforts in each of their of last outings. Too Cold stormed past Staffu 61-5- 2 Wednesday night, and Fresh held off a tough Pokers team in perhaps the most exciting game of the year. That sets the stage for Tuesday nights action a showdown between both undefeated clubs for a chance at first place in the league. Both teams like to run, acso be prepared for non-sto- p tion at both ends of the court.

The Who, who started off the season roughly in losing to Andys by 21 points, have bounced back with four consecutive wins, including a 0 upset over the Confused, who were obviously confused in dropping their second game of the year.

Dixie Faces Snow Today With only five games remaining before regional play begins, the Dixie Rebel basketball team finds itself between a rock and a hard place as they battle Snow College against arch-rivtonight at 7:30 in Ephiram, al Utah. The game is crucial for Dixif they hope to repeat as ICAC champions. The Rebels own a 2 record in conference play after dropping a tough 5 loss to Utah Tech on January 8th. Dixie goes into the contest still tasting the bitter flavor of defeat from the last time these two clubs met back on January 17th, when the Badgers erupted for 51 second half points on their way to an 3 victory in St. George.
