Show Locals Come Near 1 Taking Measure Of Fillmore Lads The vast improvement in thi playing ability of the Milford high school basketball team became readily apparent to local fans last Friday night when they lost to the fast and powerful Millard countv high school team of Fillmore by only three points the same number num-ber of points in which, only a week before, Fillmore beat Beaver, state tourney entry for the last two or three years! Fillmore lead at the half by a score of 21-1-i, but again, as in other games this year, the local fellows came through strong in the final period and came withir the three points of kicking the dope bucket over in great style and giving the visitors and their coach the scare of their lives the final score being 31-28. Another encouraging phase of the local team's improvement undr' Coach Floyd Kottcr is the much greater accuracy of the local boys in the conversion of free pitches. Many and many a game is won by these few points and Milford's improvement is most gratifying. The Milford team goes to Beaver Bea-ver this Friday for a tough assignment as-signment and next week draws ai bye, but the next week, February j 1, they take on what now Vjoks like the super-tough game of the j schedule when they mct?t Hinckley at that place. Not until February 5 will they be able to get in a "re- J ver.ge" game. On that night they play Delta here and optimists are already predicting a nice victory j over a team that had only a stage- I struck bunch of youngsters to beat in the schedule-opener.
