Show B. Y. C. 23-WEBER 20 IT WAS FRIDAY THE 13TH at Logan, a sure jinx for Weber. However, the B. Y. C.-Weber contest was one of the hardest fought games of the year, with the Purple outplaying the Crimson all the way, and ever in the lead until the last few minutes. At the half the score was 14 to 10 for the Weber cagers. The game, lost by a small score, was in doubt until the last minute. The traditional Weber fight never diminished until the gun called the game to a close. The final score was 23 to 20 for the Crimson and B. Y. C. had, in part at least, paid a debt for a certain less favorable football score earlier in the season. B. Y. C. 21--WEBER 9 THE SECOND GAME WITH B. Y. C. resulted in an even more decisive victory for the Crimson than did the first. The best display of student body "pep" of the season could not inspire the Purple and White aggregation enough for them to overcome the lead gained by the Loganites in the first quarter. The rally under the Weber Basket in the last half little more than slowed up the scoring of the invaders and added but few points for the hard- fighting home team. The game started off with a rush and was hotly con- tested every minute of play. Weber at the Tournament A VAST CROWD OF PEOPLE that almost filled the lower floor and balcony of the Weber Gymnasium was on hand to witness the playing on the opening night of the Utah-Idaho Junior College tournament. Six teams, Ricks BERNARD SIMPSON, Forward RULON DOXEY, Forward "MONK" HALLIDAY, Center College of Rexburg, B. Y. College of Logan, Weber College of Ogden, Snow College of Ephraim, Branch Agricultural College of Cedar City, and Dixie Normal College of St. George, all composed largely of stars of the first order, were on hand to fight for the Utah-Idaho Junior College Pennant. FIRST NIGHT Weber's first game in the tournament was with the Branch Agricultural College of Cedar City and was one of the best games of the tournament. B. A. C. started fighting the second the game started and by the half had practically clinched the victory. The second half saw the Weber wild-cats playing after the style that must have won them their jungle title but the scoring remained about even. The game ended with the Purple and White on the short end of a 20 to 32 tally. SECOND NIGHT In the second game of the tournament Weber tangled with the Dixie Fliers from St. George. Weber, who was never pressed by Dixie, held the lead during the entire game. The team as a whole played real ball. When the final gun sounded the scores totaled 27 to 16 for Weber. THIRD NIGHT The final night of the tournament Weber again met the B. A. C. in another hard fought contest. Fighting almost against hope the Weber quint, encouraged by the crowd that time and again cheered them for their courageous work, never once let the contest lag. Excellent guarding forced the B. A. C. to resort to long shots at which they were signally successful. The best basket shooting of the tournament was displayed in this fracas. Ward of the B. A. C. made ten field baskets, eight of which were from past the center of the floor. The elongated B. A. C. players were able to keep the ball in their possession more than their share of the time and the game ended 40 to 16 for the southerners.
