Weber Takes Extra Period Thriller From Ogden Joe Lambert Tosses In Deciding Basket Of Spirited Battle Red And Black Atetes Trail Throughout Contest; Chard's Side Shot Deadlocks Score at Close of Fourth Period; Ballif Produces Rabbit's Foot By AL WARDEN Standard-Examiner Sports Editor WEBER HIGH hoopsters annexed their first undisputed Ogden division title last night by turning back the color¬ful Ogden High machine, 29 to 27, in an extra period battle at the Weber gymnasium. The Red and Black athletes trailed throughout the spirited contest until Captain Joe Lambert tipped in the deciding basket in the final two seconds of play in the extra period. The championship playoff at¬tracted a capacity crowd and offered some sensational basketball. Ogden jumped into a 7 to 5 lead at the quarter and held a 15 to 12 advan¬tage at half time, In the closing . periods Weber ' spurted and dis¬played her best ball in the final frames. At the close of the third ! quarter Ogden still remained in front, 23 to 21. BALLIF seconds ieit in tne tourth period and with the score 27 to 25 for Og¬den, Eldon Chard tossed in a side shot to deadlock the score and send the two machines into an extra pe¬riod of play. FOURTEEN SHOTS Each team had seven shots at the hoop in the extra period and We¬ber was the only club able to score. With the timer's watch clicking away the final seconds of the extra period Red Wade broke up an Og-den play and batted the ball toward the Weber basket. Three times Wade attempted to drop the ball through the net but on each occasion the ball failed to enter the ring. On the final effort the leather dropped to the court. Joe Lambert, Weber captain and forward, put his hands on the leather and shot for the loop. The ball sailed through the strings and before it could be dis¬patched to the center of the court the game was over. Mark Ballif, Weber mentor, at¬tributes the victory to two things. First of all, the new Weber mentor sported a large rabbit's foot during the entire game. The rabbit's foot and the determination of the Weberites are attributed as the factors in bringing the title to the Red and Black institution. Weber just simply wouldn't take defeat on the chin. The entire team battled the Tigers at all stages of the game, and appeared to play their best ball when they were be¬hind in the scoring. Ed Wade, elongated pivot man of the Weberites, led his mates in scor- : ing. Wade counted five baskets : from the field and added a single : free throw for good measure. The "red-head" trailed Bill Kinner, Ogden center, all over the court and gave the Tiger pivot man only a few free chances at the hoop. Most of Kinner's scoring threats i were long shots. Wade played a remarkable floor game and was one of the big cogs in the triumph. Greenwell on the guard line turn¬ed in the best performance of his career. His early scoring capers kept the Mark Ballif five in the run¬ning. CHARD SPARKLES Chard's ball rustling thrilled the spectators. The Liberty youth was, the outstanding rustler during the! four-period encounter and much of' the credit for the Weber victory is due this youngster. Captain Joe Lambert and McLean also played well. Lambert was smothered at practically all stages of the game, yet came through with the winning basket when it was needed. Ogden was weakened consider¬ably in the fourth period when Joe Fowler, guard, was ejected from the game on personal fouls. Fowler played only one minute of the fi¬nal period. Lehman and Anderson were the leadirfg lights for the Tigers in the - crucial contest. Lehman tied with Wade for scoring honors, with 11. Anderson's guarding was brilliant. The Tiger captain displayed plenty of ability in the four-period encoun¬ter. Johnny Weir, one of the Ogden scoring aces, was. held to two bas¬kets during the torrid contest. This chap had four shots in the extra period but missed them all. Sid Spencer and Malcolm Watson handled the game in colorful style. Ogden meets North Cache, north¬ern division runner-up at Logan Wednesday, and the winner of this contest will meet North Rich of the Rich division here Friday night for the right to enroll in the state tournament next week at Salt Lake. Weber's triumph last night auto¬matically gives the Red and Black five the right to perform in the blue ribbon feature. Mark Ballif's athletes will meet Moroni at eighty-thirty o'clock Wednesday evening, March 16, in their first round game. Bands of the Ogden and Weber lairs provided splendid music for the court thriller. Score: WEBER G. T. F. P.
