D. S. University Ogden 1926 IN THE opening encounter of the tournament, the L. D. S. five handed the famous Dixie Fliers a 17-12 defeat. The upset aroused exceptional interest in the following contests. In the second engagement, Ricks forced the Branch Aggies to the limit for three periods. The Aggies, however, opened a passing attack in the closing quarter and took this game, 40-24. It was a well prepared Weber team that greeted the strong Snow quint in the third game; a satisfied one, too, when it emerged with a 48-25 victory. Making a colorful attack, the Wildcats got a sensational start and worked in splendid unison. The Weber team was forced to relinquish its tradition, however, when the powerful Branch Aggies scored a 24-17 victory the second night. The Aggies trailed the Weberites 6-4 at the end of the first period, 10-8 at the half, and dead- locked them at 14 in the third quarter. The splendid team and head work of the Aggies in the final period was responsible for their victory. ALL TOURNAMENT TEAM BLAKE Dixie Forward PARKINSON Ricks Forward GILLINS B. A. C.

The Saints lost in a 27-17 game. Snow early took the lead and obtained an advantage that was held to the end. Ricks College gained its first victory the final night of the tournament by defeating the Snow five of Ephraim, 22-18, exhibiting some of their best technique in passing and defense. The Dixie Fliers forced the Wildcats into their second defeat in the following game. At the end of the first half the score stood 18-4 for Dixie. Weber then offered a sensational passing attack and cut down the heavy lead of the opponents, but Dixie came back in the closing period and put the ball through the net from all angles of the court. The game ended, Dixie, 40, Weber, 24. The Branch Aggies were pressed through three quarters of extra strong com- petition by the Saints, but scored a 23-19 victory. Two long shots at the close gave the B. A. C. an advantage that they were successful in maintaining. The Aggies were forced to fight hard in order to take this last game and thereby win the Junior College Intermountain Basketball Championship. OFFICERS INTERMOUNTAIN BASKETBALL LEAGUE A.
