Show Weber vs. L. D. S. WEBER 34 L. D. S. 31 WEBER demonstrated her ability as a con- tender for the championship by defeating L. D. S. on the Roof Garden of the L. D. S. Memorial building at Salt Lake City by a score of 34 to 31. Weber's team had now hit its stride. As the ball was put in play at center, students, representing both schools, were on edge. Weber's signals were completed on the initial play, and the ball dropped through the hoop for the first score of the game. This basket came as a result of a brilliant over-head shot by Couch. Several baskets by both teams brought the score 8 to 4 for Weber, as the quarter ended. The next quarter uncovered more thrills for the fans. Service, the snappy L. D. S. forward, covered the entire floor. His quickness and clever tricks caused the Purple and White guards plenty of trouble. Time and again he stepped behind Weber's defense for scores. The half ended, Weber 15, L. D. S. 11. Weber played the last two quarters with her same characteristic fight. At Ogden WEBER 22 L. D. S. 20 ONE of the most sensational games of the season was played Saturday, February 20, in the Weber Gym, with L. D. S. as Weber's opponents.

The score stood, Weber 12, L. D. S. 11 at the half. In the third quarter, Weber outscored her opponents by two points; 20 to 18. The final period was one of the closest ever played in Ogden. The Saints scored a field goal about five minutes before the end of the game. With one minute to go, Weber broke the deadlock bringing a two point lead. The Third Annual Utah-Idaho Junior College Basketball Tournament THE third annual Junior College Basketball Tournament, held in the Weber Gymnasium March 4, 5, 6, brought together six of the strongest teams that have ever assembled in Ogden. The first night offered two fast games: Dixie succeeded in trouncing B. Y. C. 27 to 24 and L. D. S. won over B. A. C. 28 to 26. The third contest of the evening, which was between Weber and Ricks, resulted in a rather one- sided score but offered a few real thrills. In this event Weber downed her old rivals 31 to 19. The second night's contests were all fast and well-played. In the first game of the evening Ricks surprised everyone when she defeated the fast Dixie "fliers" 34 to 24 and upset the Southerners' chance for championship honors. L. D. S. managed to come out with a narrow margin of victory over B. Y. C. 24 to 22. Weber put herself in the finals with L. D. S. by winning from B. A. C. 42 to 41 in a game that proved intensely interesting in the last quarter. A rally by B. A. C. fell one score short of tieing the contest. The last night afforded plenty of excitement and clever playing. Dixie staged a come-back and defeated B. A. C. 40 to 32. Ricks demonstrated a rally and won the decision from B. Y. C. 18 to 17. The final game of the night was between L. D. S. and Weber for the champion- ship. This event was exceedingly clean and well-played, as the teams showed plenty of ability at the sport. The first quarter ended 6 to 3 for Weber. Weber maintained the lead at the half 14 to 12, but lost it to L. D. S. at the end of the third quarter 18 to 22. Each team scored four points in the last quarter and L. D. S. won the Utah-Idaho Junior College Championship by the score of 26 to 22. Judging from the size of the crowds that attended, and the fine quality of the games played, the prospects are indeed bright for the future Utah-Idaho Junior College Basketball Tournaments. |
