Show Ogden Tigers Wallop Weber High In Cage PIay-Off Orange Streaks In Fine Form; Kinner Is Outstanding Star All Round Play of Dixon Kapple Athletes Brings Well Deserved Victory; Red and Black Hoopsters Trail On Short End of Score Throughout Game. March 10, 1931 By AL WARDEN Standard-Examiner Sports Editor OGDEN High school hoopsters completely outplayed the strong Weber High quint at the Weber gymnasium last night to win the city championship and also the Ogden di¬vision title at basketball. The Dixon Kapple five assumed an early lead, and with the exception of two spurts by the Warriors, the "Orange Streaks" were never headed. The final score was 39 to 27. The Ogdenites passed with excep¬tional ability, played a marvelous floor game, and did most of their shooting from short range. Kapple's charges led at the end of the quar¬ter 7 to 2 and held a 19 to 11 lead at the end of the half. Dick Thorne's athletes were slow in breaking and the Tiger hoopsters, ever on the alert, took advantage of this oversight and counted numer¬ous set ups to add to their point total. NEW COMBINATION Kapple trotted out a r:w com¬bination, one that looks like the ticket. He started Hunter and Har¬bertson at forwards; Kinner at cen¬ter and Hilton and Anderson at! guards. This aggregation played a cool deliberate brand of ball and held command of the situation throughout. The Warriors played their best ball in the final periods, yet could not cope with the all-around play of the Ogdenites. Coach Thorne tried frantically to get his men to function but failed. At the close of the third period Ogden held a 29 to 20 lead and in¬creased this margin in the final frame. Kinner, the elongated center, was the outstanding scorer in the heat¬ed argument. He rolled in seven buckets during the battle and played a remarkable floor game. He was head and shoulders over Chandler in the crucial tilt. Clyde Hunter, ball rustler supreme, was one of the other main cogs in the Ogden offensive and defensive play. He tossed in four buckets and played his usual splendid all- around game. "Red" Hilton and Dale Anderson were towers of strength on the guard line for the winners. Hilton had a scoring spree of his own and tallied 10 points. Midget Sarlo was the best all- around performer for the Dick Thorne machine. His dribbling cap- capers and ball rustling tactics kept Weber in the running for three periods of the contest. OFF COLOR Chandler at center was the best scorer for the Warriors, but appeared to be off form. In previous games Chandler outjumped Kinney, but last night the Tiger pivot man controlled the jump at all stages. Stratford did not start for Weber, due to an arm injury, but after he entered the contest his play made the Warriors a threat. Two of his three buckets were one handed shots from mid-court. The triumph last night gives Og¬den the right to enter the state tournament next week at Salt Lake as champions of the division. Weber must defeat the Randolph five here , Thursday night in order to win post in the series. The Weber gymnasium was packed to the guard for the title contest. Every available inch of room was taken and hundreds stood up. Bands of both schools were out in full regalia and added color to the battle. Referee Sid Spenced, one of the outstanding officials of the west, and Woody Romney, another cap¬ able official, handled the game in style. Spencer praised the sportsmanship of the players and crowd after the game. "In all of my basketball experi¬ence I have never seen finer sports¬manship than was offered in the crucial game," said Mr. Spencer. Score: OGDEN (39) G. T. F. P.

Ogden High School Notes March 16, 1931 Ruth Greaves, Editor "Beauty is but skin deep" common sense thicker'n a mile. ASSEMBLY REPORT Last Friday's assembly was under the direction of the Tau Eta Nu club. The president, Doris Reardon was in charge. Eight charming young girls were introduced to the audience in last Friday's assembly as hopeful con-testants for the honor of being queen of the Classicalia. Both the audience and the candidates were inspired with an enthusiastic desire to buy tickets to vote for queen next week. We feel sure that the spirit of success will make the Classicalia of 1931 the best dance in our school history. We wjgre afforded entertainment by Alice Huggins, who played an excellent violin solo, and the girls' chorus from Weber college, which offered several vocal selections. Eva Herschovitch gave two read¬ings which were followed by a tal¬ented acrobatic dance given by lit¬tle Miss Helen Brown. This enter¬tainment was favorably received by the students. Superintendent Karl Hopkins talked favorably of our Ogden High school, and discussed the various schools in the Ninth corps area and In the eastern states.—Frisby. SPEAKING OF "FARR BETTER" An Indian princess. Who will make the best? Graceful, gracious, generous Geneva is the one! She is not so widely known, but those who do know her can tell lots of nice things about her. She is lively and full of pep and school spirit. Last year she was in the procession and on school committees. Her beauty and personality have not affected her, and she has many friends. Dear Aunt Jane: Do we get to ballot on our med¬icine man? If not, why not?—A Senior. Dear Senior: As yet no definite method of se¬lecting the medicine man has been : arranged. The pageant committee will decide this procedure and inform you this week—Aunt Jane. Dear Aunt Jane: When and where is the basketball tournament going to be held? We hope to be there—wherever that is—with our colors flying-"The Fans." Dear Fans: The tournament will be held in the Deseret gymnasium in Salt Lake City, beginning next Wednesday. The time of our games has not yet been announced.—Aunt Jane. AUNT JANE'S CORNER Dear Aunt Jane: By the write-up in Thursday night's paper, are we to understand that certain tickets are only good for certain events or are they good for all the things mentioned in the Notes?—Anon. Dear Anon: The tickets for the Classicalia Ogden Will Bid For State Scholastic Track Meet Decision Will Be Made Next Week At Spring Conference Hopkins Is Confident That Classic Will Be Staged Here OGDEN will make a serious ef¬fort to secure the state scholas¬tic track and field meet this year, W Karl Hopkins, regional director of'the Utah State High School Ath¬letic association, announces. The big joust has been held at the Uni¬versity of Utah stadium for a num¬ber of vears, but indications are that the feature will be held in va¬rious parts of the state in the luture. With ideal facilities here for a track and field meet, Hopkins feels confident that the state high school officials will vote in favor of Og¬den for the 1931 tournament. In the early days of track and field competition Ogden alternated with Salt Lake in staging the Salt Lake in the past 15 years have all staged the classic. "With our new stadium available for fine contests, there is no reason why the classic cannot new staged in Ogden," said W. Karl Kopkins today. "We have every needed facility. "The track is in fine Condition and good marks could be listed This sort of athletic competition has been neglected hereabouts for years, due to lack of facilities. "In the event that Ogden lands the state meet the affair will be supervised by the state association. Any records made will be official. A definite decision on the holding of the 1931 state meet will be reached next week at Salt Lake when officials of the association hold their annual spring meeting, tj In the event that Ogden is notil chosen for the state finals, the northern division meet will be held here, it is announced.
