Show Ogden Five Rates As Best In Tiger History New Champions Are Polished In Every Department of Play Lehman Sparkles Again; Athletes Prepare For Track-Field Season Ogden high hoopsters, Utah and intermountain champions, were re¬ceiving congratulations today from sports lovers of all parts of the west. The Tigers annexed the in¬termountain title by turning back the Idaho Falls five, Idaho cham-pions, in consecu¬tive games Friday and Saturday. Trailing on the short end of a 16 to 17 score on Fri¬day, the "Orange Streaks" opened a second half at-tack that gave them a 41 to 33 decision over their Bill Kinner capable northern rivals. Saturday night the Ogdenites , again were on the short end of an 8 to 11 score at the rest period. They came back like cyclones in the final periods and nearly doubled thejc score on the Idahoans, 40 to 22. Three members of the Tiger ma- chine were named on the first in- termountain five while the Tigers of Idaho Falls landed two men. Bill Kinner, Utah's all-state cen¬ter, was the class of the tournament, all things considered. His marvel-ous all-around play has attracted the attention of college coaches of all parts of the west. Kinner out- jumped Watson, Idaho all-star cen¬ter, on practically every occasion. His directing of the team play was sensational. Kinner has the ability to think quickly on the court, and this cou¬pled with his all-around play, ranks him as the greatest Utah scholastic center of all time. FOWLER SHINES Joe Fowler, all-state guard, wat at the height of his career in the, Idaho Falls series. He was a con-1 sistent menace to Greene, Idaho all- state forward. In fact, Fowler cov¬ered Greene brilliantly and gave the Idahoan few shots at the basket. Like Kinner, Fowler should make a marvelous college player. Herm Lehman, the cyclone of the court, deserves a world of credit for his marvelous play. The midget for¬ward twice tied the score in the extra period battle with Weber at (Salt Lake and finally came through with the bucket that decided the j seven period game in favor of the Tigers, 29 to 27. Lehman gained practically no rec¬ognition from the critics at the state joust, yet he was one of the bril-liant performers of the series. In ;the Idaho Falls two game set his play was colorful, sensational, and worthy of praise. Captain Dale Anderson, one of the most consistent cagers developed in years at the Tiger lair, covered him¬self with glory in both tournaments. Anderson had a hard assignment in guarding Naylor, colorful Idaho Falls forward. Naylor has the abil¬ity to shoot with one hand front any part of the court, and this style of shooting cannot be guarded. Anderson sparkled in every game in which he took part during the year and was an ideal captain for the champions. j Johnny Weir, running mate for Lehman, had plenty of hard luck in the Idaho series. He had plenty of shots, but they just wouldn't roll through the hoop. Weir, however, battled on despite his ill-luck at basket shooting. Ogden high has trotted out three i marvelous court teams, and the 1932 team, in the opinion of most critics is the greatest in all Tiger history. CAPTURE TITLE In 1925 Ogden won the "big three" title in Utah and captured the Rocky mountain title at Boulder, Ray Price and Red Wade were the aces of this team. The following year Ogden enrolled again in the state association and finished runner-up in the state se¬ries, L. D. S. winning 17 to 16. Ogden and L. D. S. both perform¬ed in the national series, and Mark Ballif of the Tigers landed a post on the all-America team as a guard. Dick Kapple has the distinction of being the only cage coach in Utah history to annex an intermountain title. In 1921 his Logan five won both the state and intermountain championship and now the Tigers have duplicated the feat of 11 years ago. Members of the Ogden squad turned their suits in today. Practi¬cally every member of the team will take part in track and field athletics during the remainder of the year. A neat sum will be realized for the unemployed, despite the disap¬pointing attendance, W. Karl Hop-kins, chairman, announced today.

LOOKING AHEAD With spring coming on, believe it or not, most of us would rather concentrate on most anything but , actualities. Why not make it the fr future? To the seniors this is a ™ necessity. In two short months they j will make their initial entrance onto the stage of life, and though the first parts they play may be humble, we are confident that such a class jr as this one will find many of its ™ members playing leading roles. We gain nothing but unhappiness by looking back and regretting or ex- ulting. Let's try to make the future a rosy one, full of hope and expec- tation. er LETTER TO COACH The following letter was received by Dixon Kapple, head coach, Ogden high school, from Elmer Petersen, president of the Utah State Agricultural college: f "This is the first opportunity I have had to express my cordial congratulations to you on the oc¬casion of your winning the state championship. I was unable to wit¬ness any of the games, because of pressing business, but followed the tournament with keen interest. You must have a team of outstanding young fellows who don't know the word quit. From such stuff we get the leaders of tomorrow. Your op¬ponents, I note, were mighty worthy men, and gave you a real battle. Honor to them also. "Good wishes for success in your remaining battle this year, and in the years to come." SCHOLARSHIP LIST Five scholarships, ranging in value from $500 to $175, will be awarded by Pomona college, Claremont, Cal., to the candidates for the 1932-33 freshman class who best qualify for them.

TAU ETA NU At the regular meeting of Tau Eta Nu last week we had a special treat. Mr. Tanner from Central ' was a guest of our club, and he gave us a very interesting reading. Yours truly was such a numbskull and so terribly interested in the reading that I can't tell you what the name of it was. It didn't even ' register when he told us. But I do know what it was about. Bad boy goes to the country village to "grab" an heiress. Has to act good while there, and go to work. Finally gets her to propose to him, and discov¬ers that he doesn't love her nor her drinking, etc., and marries his boss' daughter. It was good, anyway, al-though I can't explain it any bet¬ter. We thank Mr. Tanner, and hope that he will come again. Ah, and by the way, we have a surprise for you. Watch for it! MARGARET THOMAS. |
