Show Hough Riders isn i Pair From Sanpete Teams ! The Roosevelt Rough Riders continued their fine pre-season play Friday and Saturday nights as they met and defeated a stubborn stub-born pair of Sanpate teams, Moroni and Noi th Sanpete, at Roosevelt and Vernal. Friday they made it two in a row over Mo-oni as they won a thrilling over-time game 36-39, and then moved to Vernal Saturday to even the score with Mt. Pleasant Pleas-ant by dumping them 46-42 in a well-played contest. Franklin Peterson, slender 6 ft. 2 in. forward, continued his fine offensive play as he hit for 15 and 13 points respectively in the two games. Frank Snyder lied with Peterson at Vernal for high scoring honors, and Scott Nickell pushed through 14 points Friday for runner-up honors hon-ors in the scoring department. O. Smith, North Sanpete forward, for-ward, with 15 points, was high man in the Vernal game. Last weed the Sanpeters handed the Riders their only pre-season loss, at Mt. Pleasant. Coach Marcus Garrett has developed a team that shows the potentialities of being another Region 5 championship squad. They are small, but fast, and handle the ball like veterans, which they are not only Peterson Pet-erson played regular last year. There are a few kinks, such as a player or two who occasionally occasional-ly sacrifices team play for individual indi-vidual glory, but that will take care of itself. This weekend the Riders move over to Park City for a Saturday Satur-day night mix with the Miners fiom that community. Little is known about the strength of the Summit county team, but a prediction pre-diction from this corner gives the local lads a better-thah-even chance "with them.
