Show Broncos Nip Visiting Teams to Move Higher in IC AC League Standings The College of Southern Utah slump last week end to run up Broncos broke out of a mid -season two very convincing victories to materially Improve their standing stand-ing at the expense of Utah opponents, op-ponents, walloping Carbon and Snow College teams on successive nights In the C S U memorial fieldhouse. In the first game Coach Cleo Petty's Broncos began their scoring scor-ing spree to ring up an 82 to 58 victory o..-r the Carbon Eagles, and came back Saturday night to trample their traditional rivals the Snow Badgers, in a 97 to C5 margin. The Broncos have been unable to score consistently in recent games, but in the Carbon-Snow series they found their scoring eyes again, dunking 32 field 'goals against Carbon and 34 against Snow. Slow Start As the Friday night game opened it looked like Coach Petty's Pet-ty's crew might continue its cold pace, the Eagles connecting for three fic.'d goals to take a 6 to 0 lead over the Broncos. More than three minutes of play had passed before Eric Clark finally put the Broncos on the score board with two foul shots, but even then the visitors continued to lead. The score was tied at 10 to 10. but Carbon then jumped into a 15 to, 10 lead, and the first period was! more than half gone before the Broncos finally took an 18 to 17 lead. The visitors again went into the lead by one point, but Bob Davis, Don Floyd, Bob H1U and Davis again, rang up four quick baskets for a 26 to 19 lead. From this point they gained steadily to win with ease. , Laodla? Scorar Clark. Davis and Hill led the Bronco attack with 25, 19 and 16 points, respectively, and the whole team played heads-up ball both on offense and defense and after the C S U team started to click there was never any doubt about the outcome. Jorgensen and Johnson led the scoring for Carbon with 16 and 14 points, respectivejy. The Broncos had a slightly better record at the foul line than the Eagles, gettlne 18 points In 27 tries to 15 in 29 tries for the visitors. In the Saturday night game against the Snow Badgers the Broncos put on a consistent scoring scor-ing display to outclass a battling crew from Snow College. Both teams were hitting well but with Floyd ringing up nine field goals. Bob Davis, Jerry Frame and Ted Chldester each hitting five and Clark ringing up four the local crew could not be denied vie tory. A highlight of the victory was the manner in which the high scoring Darrell Warrel, who has been hitting well over 20 Dointa In every game of the season, was stopped by the Broncos. This brilliant bril-liant shooter was hejd to one field goal and two foul shots' for four points, which was the deciding decid-ing factor in the entire game. The Whistler In spite of the good playing of both teams the game became almost boring because of the antics an-tics of a "whistle happy" referee. During the course of the long-drawn long-drawn out 1 game the teams marched to the iout jine no less than 91 times. Both of the teams' hit only a fair average of their free throws, and had they been "hot" in this de- partment the number of foul shots taken would have been! well over the 100 mark, a rldicu-1 lous number in any game. And the whistle blowing was Just as persistent on every phase of play. I Play was close during the first nine minutes of the game with the score tied at 10-10 and 12-12 before the Broncos finally pulled into a 20 to 12 lead and were never headed again. The Badgers Bad-gers closed the gap to four points at 29 to 25, but fell behind again to trail at half time 45 to 41. Throughout the second half the Broncos pulled steadily away from the visitors until the final few minutes obviously became a race against time to see whether Coach Petty's team could reach the 100 point mark.
