BASKETBALL five to thirty-three," Ed said, and opened the door just in time to save the plate glass in the door from total destruction. To a similar group the next night Ed announced that Weber had lost to the tune of 20-40. The group that had gone out shouting the night before went out that night with a smile of determination on their faces. With a week of idleness facing him Delt arranged a contest with the Westminster Col- lege of Salt Lake City. The Parsons played bravely and gave the best they had against a much superior team. Part of the time the Weber mentor used his entire second string. and part of the time a mixture of first and second. The one sided score of 31-70 really isn't a good indication of the fight put up by the Salt Lakers. The return contest in Salt Lake the following Monday was a repetition of the track meet at home. The Parsons were again snowed under by a larger, better trained team. At last the race had centered down to a contest between two teams for supremacy in the northern division. Ricks and Weber were running neck and neck for first place. All Weber needed to do now was to defeat L. D. S. in order to tie Ricks for first. On the other hand should Weber lose to L. D. S., Ricks would hold unchallenged right to the northern crown. With such a prospect in view imagine the crowd and the fight at the last home game of the season. The Purple won handily over the Blue. but lost for the season the services of "Red" Knapp on account of a badly injured ankle. Undaunted by this mishap, the Wildcats invaded the abode of the Saints, and after a colorful game returned home to the Acorn Ball with another victory slated for them Thus closed the league until the tournament should decide further who should be supreme in Junior College Basketball in this section of the country. TOURNAMENT EXTRA, EXTRA, COLLEGE COURTIERS OPEN BIG JOUST THURSDAY. AGGIES FAVORED IN SIXTH ANNUAL EVENT. JAYSEE MACHINES OF UTAH AND IDAHO COMPETE AT WEBER GYM FOR CHAMPIONSHIP. UTAHNS BOOST BASKETBALL. So began the sixth annual Tournament. From start to finish the big cagefest was a thriller. Ricks and Dixie stepped up to the firing line first to open the tournament with a hotly contested basket tossing exhibition. With Parkinson starring for Ricks, and Blake for Dixie, the first gun of the tournament found Ricks with the first victory by virtue of a 31-28 score. Then romped upon the floor the Weber tossers. Then the Snow. Then the snow began to fall in accordance with the heat from the hot playing of the Purple machine. Score at the finish-Weber, 43; Snow, 28. After that battle, just to finish up the evening's entertainment came the battle between the Blue and White and the L. D. S. True to expectations, B. A. C. came out the victor but only after a heated battle. Enter the second night. Crowds scattered about, much shouting and then: WEBER BOWS BEFORE AGGIES IN SENSATIONAL GAME.

That is the story of the last night of one of the greatest tournaments in the history of the state. B. A. C. again took home the cup and the good wishes of the basketball fans of Utah. Many stars were observed in the joust, but the officials saw fit to choose Moesinger of Weber and Gillins of B. A. C., forwards; Parkinson of Ricks, Center; Blake of Dixie and Rose of Weber, guards for the all tournament team. Moesinger was awarded the STANDARD-EXAMINER award for the best all around player of the tournament. And then as the last strains of that old Hawaiian melody, Ahola Oe, faded away, the crowds that had assembled for the Award Dance hurried home to dream: or to think of rew plays with which to win the tourney of next year. But wait a moment. A record of these crowded days would not be complete without recognition of Wayne B. Hales, A. Russell Croft, and William G. Barton, who carried the responsibility of this sixth year with the cooperation of our student body officers. And we do not mean to forget the publicity support of the OGDEN STANDARD EXAMINER and Al Warden.
