Show ItlnGlJA'PIJlllS WIN FROM APEX Millmen Win 43 to 39 Contest from ' League in Fast Tilt at Cypress High Gym. How are the mighty fallen? This is what happened to the Utah Apex quintet Wednesday evening when the fast Magna team took them to a clean-, ing by the score of 43 to 39 in one of the most exciting games of the season. Playing' without the full services of Lolo Spencer, the Apex team worked under a slight handicap, but the main cause of the defeat might be blamed to their, "cockiness." The boys evidently evi-dently went over to the mill town with the impression they "were a cinch to win," and with Mack Swan, manager of the Magna team thinking of nothing but hard work, the Millmen after the first half had things pretty much, their own way, outside of the last three minutes of play, when the Underground men spurted and nearly snatched a victory from the fire, To Mack Swan and Hal Egbert go the honors for the evening, these two guards playing a wonderful floor game, as well as guarding game, and it was only through their efforts that victory was made possible for the Magna team. V "Chuck" Archibald, Magna forward, was the big noise in the scoring line with a total of fifteen, but closer guarding on the part of the Apex team would have kept his total down. Both teams played exceptionally clean basketball, but seven fouls being being called on each side. The first quarter ended with the score tied at 9 all. Magna took a slight advantage in the second period, and led at the half 24 to 22. It was in the third quarter that they became powerful by Scoring 11 while the best Apex could do was 4. , With the score .' 41 to 31 against them ami with three minutes to go, Lolo Spencer forgot about his injured shoulder,' and iii less than' two minutes min-utes the Apex had creeped'to 39.' A long shot by Ken Anderson; in the last 30 seconds missed the center of the hoop: by inches, and when'Archibald made his last hoop for the 43rd point, the whistle ended one of the greatest games ever seen in Magna, "1 Bill Day Larsen, Apex center was high point man for his team with 13, with Lolo Spencer netting 12. Lolo favored his injured shoulder through- (CoBtlotMil on Page T.) '- 7 :7 - IHagna PlajWK (Continued fmm Pag. 1) out the contest, until the last three minutes of play. That he was not himself is shown in the fact that he threw 33 times and made but 6 field goals, many of his throws being right under the basket. The refereeing of 'Tug" Warner was highly satisfactory. The box score: Apex, 39 Player ros. FG FT FP F Total L. Spencer, rf 6 0 0 2 12 S.
