Show B. Y. C. Wins A Great Victory 1 Basketball Team Captures State Cham- I pionship After Years of Effort. The A. C. was'nt tho only winner at Salt Lake last week. While the school on tho hill fought tho University for the right to live and havo a being, the B. Y. C. tattled with the Provoltcs for state championship basketball honors-and won, too. The battle was as hard fought as tho A. O.U. of U. battle, too, and won by as narrow a raargln-27 to 21 and the Joy In local sporting circles and among tho frlcnc's of the B. Y. O. generally, Is all tfo greater becauso of tile close scoro and Hnal victory. Tho Inter-Mountain Republican Re-publican has tho following excellent account of tho game: "Before a crowd of nearly 1,500 peo-plo, peo-plo, thoB. Y. O. of Logan wrestled the state basketball league championship champion-ship from tho B. Y. U. of Proyo by a score of 27 to 24, after Provo had successfully suc-cessfully defended tho tltlo for t! e past two years. The two schools wcio lined up on opposite sides of tho big university gymnasium, which had been provided with a Beating capacity of 1,000. Tho bcgglnnlng of tho contest was long drawn out, tho B. Y. O. appearing appear-ing fully twenty minutes before the B. Y. D. During tho long wait tho respective bands of the schools, assisted assist-ed by tho throng of supporters, threw hot retorts at each other, both In muslo and words School spirit was at Its height throughout the game, and had Brlgham Young's spirit witnessed wit-nessed the Intense rival ly between his two founded schools, It would have stood aghast. Just before the beginning begin-ning of the first half-ten of the B. Y. C. girls dressed lu red jeiseysund college col-lege caps, and during the whole game they were the nucleus of the live bunch on tho side of tho Logoultcs. When time was called for tho beginning begin-ning of tho game, shortly after 3:30( Referee Erlck-on announced that tho ball would go to tho winning team. At the sound of the whistlo tho Provo boys were quickly Ijto tho harness. They, wore fully confident of their powers and looked the part of suro victory. The Loganltes, howover, seemed rather stagestruck, their ground wa3 Insecure, and It was not until tho beginning of the second half that they found enough courage to hold their own ground. "Little Eva" Chrlstenscn, tho lanky boy from Provo, was by all accounts the star of tho game from the Provo side. Provo Had Big Margin. At the end of the first half tho scoro stood 15 to 5 In favor of tho B. Y. U. During this half the ball was almost entirely In tho territory of the B. Y.O. and had It not been for tho numerous fouls on the part of the B. Y. U., tho score would have stood 15 to 2. Tho fouls, however, were not allcommlted by the boys from Provo. Fouls wero ono of the commonest features of the game Whenever a man became cornered cor-nered every ono looked for a foul on tho part of the defender. Between the halves tho rooters of ' the two schoolsswarmcd Into the cn- H terof tho floor, yelled and sang until !H tho leader of the Logan bunch got H wise to tho fact that some of the Provo H rooters wero trespassing on his tcrrl- 'jH lory, and with the Intention of having (H his halfof the hall, almost started what H might havo been a lively mlzup be '-H twecn tho opposing crowds. j From the whistle In tho second hah JH the Logan boys went Into tho game jH llko demons. Tho Provo boys were M overconfident, and before they recov- H ercd from their slumbers, tho (core H board tallied even for both sides. "Little Eva," In the capacity of cen- H tor, was no longer master of tho sit ut- H tlon, as Jons.cn proved his match. At -H this Juncture a serious error occurred H Scorer Smith, in his excitement, tal- v lied a foul basket two points to the tM credit of tho Provoltcs, so that when tH tho end of tho halt came the score stood, according to Smith, 24-25;in fa- H vorof thoB. Y. U, The Logan-root- H ers kicked most strenuously, aud as a H result tho other scorers in compart- jH son of their scores decided tho game a 'H Two Officials Selected. FH It had been agreed before tho game H that the two men acting In tho capa- ',H city of referee and umpire should In- H terchange, so that when it came to H playing off the tic, trouble was again .H in tho air as to who should referee. H By Joint consent, E. Plnkly, of the 'H University of llnos and R. E. Taylor H acted In the capacity of'jejerccjand H umpire, respectively. With some dim- ;H culty tho crowd was pushed back and H thu gamo started again. The Lo- -'H ga u bojs started out with the same form they acquired at the geglnnlng H of the second half, and before tho ball H had been in play many minutes H Waansguanl scored a foul and fol- H lowed this up quickly bv a wonderful- H ly clever field goal, winning the game H for the B.
