Show Panguitch. Gets on Map Basket Ball Team First i - - The first of April was no "April Fool" day for the metropolis of Garfield Gar-field county, and consequently we expect Bill Peters, editor of the Garfield Gar-field County News, will turn over the duties of editor to his long suffering better half, while he takes a long needed! (?) vacation. First Senator Snioot. succeeded in getting a bill through the senate, creating the "Utah National Park," which- includes the wonderful Bryco canyon; and (hen next the Panguitch basket ball team won its first game in the National tournament now be-ins be-ins held in Chicago. The Panguitch quint was pitted against the Tampa, Florida team, the champions of the Southern playground. play-ground. The score was 19 to 17. The Panguitch team was the great surprise of the Utah contest, al which time the L. D." S. school of Salt Lake was declared the winner of the State championship with the pride of Southern Utah in second place. i The big Salt Lake team immediately immedi-ately begun preparations; for a triumphant tri-umphant trip to Chicago to enter the National tournament, but upon investigation in-vestigation of the records by a committee com-mittee on eligibility, it was discovered discover-ed that one of the L. D. S. men was disqualified on account of being over ov-er the age limit and without that man the L. D. S. team refused to go East, and it fell to the lot of the Gar-fieldi Gar-fieldi county boys to make the trip. In fact it is generally believed that had this man been eliminated Panguitch Pan-guitch would have easily won the State tournament. Much glory to Garfield county. We congratulate you.
