HOOP WRITE-UP'S TIGERS MINGLE WITH BEAR RIVER HOOPSTERS 33-18 The Bear River besketball crew assured the Ogden Tigers of a third place standing on the dope sheet by accepting a 33 to 18 defeat at the hands of the Ogden crew. Te Bear River team was unable to make the game fast for the Tigers; therefore, it was recorded as a slow and un¬interesting contest. The game was played on the Ogden floor before a crowd of Ogden rooters only. (Bear River's yell team was represented by Mac Boyd, Jerry Corey and a few more notables.) The first quarter of the game ended with Ogden leading the 7 to 2 score. Outside of this period, the Bear River team was completely outplayed. The contest was a one sided affair, although neither team played its best ball. Smitty, alone scored more points than did the entire Bear River team. He tallied nine field goals and tossed in seven out of eleven free throws, making a total of 25 points to his credit. Anderson and Watkins were the best actors for the Bear River outfit. The score.

TIGERS AGAIN WALLOP DAVIS Smitty is High Point Man 35-20 In the third game of our league schedule the orange and black basket tossers handed the Kaysville "pump¬kin passers" a 35 to 20 defeat, on the farmers' floor. The Tigers played their usual heady game and had no difficulty in trouncing the Davis crew. The flashiest part of the game came in the third and fourth periods, with the Tigers on the admirable side. They piled up the score so fast and heavy that it was impossible for Davis to understand what it was all about. The floor had been used to dance on not long before the game with the result that it was not in the proper condition for a basketball game. The condition of the floor hampered the Ogden players con- sidearbly. Accurate and fast passing and floor work was lacking do to this negligence on the part of the Davis high school. Although Davis was in the lead at the end of the first period, Ogden took credit for the lead in the 16 to 13 score at the half. The third period was somewhat faster and ended with the score read¬ing 26 to 17 in favor of Ogden. Nine more points were added to the Ogden tally in the fourth period while only three were allowed for the Davisites. Smitty was the high point man and star of the evening. He tossed in seven field goals and five out of twelve free throws, making a total of nineteen points to his credit in the score column. The game played by Bill and Benwas a big feature of the hour's play. They were perfect guards. Blacham and Cox both snagged a field goal for the Orange and Black. Martin and Lyons both tallied two field goals during the fracus. Underwood was the headliner for the Davis lineup. Lindford and Webster also played well for the Kaysville cause.

Weber came out on the long end of the 29 to 21 score only after a hotly fought con¬test. The game was fast from begin¬ning to end and both teams displayed flashy team and floor work. The fighting efforts of the Weber crew is what won the game for them. Anderson of Weber was high point man with a string of seven field goals to his credit. Budge and Couch, although off form, tallied the remain¬ing: points of the game for Weber. The part if leading man for Davis was taken very effectively by Under¬wood. The game was played on the Davis floor.

The Tigers played under the opposite spell. Fate seemed to keep the ball out of the Ogden basket. Smitty was the victim of the entire Weber team; they watched every move he made, (they needed to). Smith played the best that was pos¬sible for him, under the circumstances. The rest of the team played with all] the fight in them, but with no effect. Weber's five man defense worked per¬fectly. No one was called out on personals. Emmett replaced Martin in the last period of the game. Referee—Simmons. Umpire—Hamilton.

Although the game was one sided with the heavy side of the score for Box Elder, it was an interesting ex¬hibition. The fighting spirit of the infant Bear River squad was very evident. Eliason, Facer and Boothe played the best ball for the Brigham outfit. Toothe claimed the headline title with his feature cage work. Harris and Anderson were the best performers for the "Nay-Ked Crick" aggregation. The honor of being high point man went to Eliason of Box Elder. Eliason scored 17 points of the 35.

There was no comparison of the ability of the two teams throughout the game. Burt, at guard for the Brigham crew, caged eight field goals. Eliason and Boothe split twelve evenly be¬tween them.
