Show Spring City M-Men Cinch Lead In Stake Basketball Tournament Plav By Reed Madsen Spring City has cinched the North Sanpete M Men league basketball crown, with only one game left to play and still standing undefeated. The Spring City quint took their last game from the South ward cagers at Spring City Tuesday night, although they came close to their first defeat of the season sea-son and luckily won by two points, according to their coach Cutler Schofield. It seems that Mt. Pleasant's star was Leon Fillis who dropped the ball through the hoop from nearly any spot on the floor " and really gave the Spring City boys a competitive game. Fairview North Ward finished their last league game by defeating de-feating the Fairview South ward quint by a decisive score. It was the North Ward all the . way and the poorest exhibition the South has put on all year; they not only needed a tub to drop the ball through but needed some good sticky fly paper in their hands to help hold on to the ball. Eddie Johnson and Grant Fowles of the North ward were high point men and it seemed they just couldn't be stopped. Eddie dropped in 21 points while Grant followed closely with 19. An interesting fact was that Eddie Miner must have wanted his own ward (the South) to lose badly as he played with the North. Now the question among South Ward M-Men is "When is Eddie moving to the North Ward," Team Won Lost Perc. Spring City 7 0 1.000 Mt.
