Ogden Tigers Pack Too Many Guns For Ephraim After a rather shaky start, Ogden High School vindicated its reputation as tournament favorites with a brilliant last-half foray against the Ephraim Carrot Eaters. The final score, 40 to 25, tells the story of the Tigers' true power, but does not reflect the gallant stand waged by Clive Remund's out-sized, but not out-scrapped Carrot Eaters most of the way. Ogden worried out an 8 to 5 lead at the quarter, chiefly through extreme height which bothered the Carrot Eaters' shooting. The smal¬ler Ephraim team sped around the towering Tigers to draw within 7 to 8 and 9 to 10 during the early stages of the second stanza, but the Sanpete champions were unable to hold elongated Charles Norton under their own hoop. The Ogden pivot man tipped in three baskets and converted two foul pitches to account largely for the Tigers' 19 to 13 lead at the half. Keith Erickson, star forward, was Ephraim's spark plug. Ephraim Fights Ephraim came out scrapping in the second half and drew wthin 17 to 19, but Coach Dixon Kapple put his star center back in the line¬up after a taste of the bench. Nor¬ton promptly responded with three field goals in succession to put Og¬den ahead 23 to 18 at the three- quarter mark. Norton Does His Stuff The Tigers seemed to take a new lease on life with Norton do¬ing his stuff, and pulled steadily away in the last quarter. The Tig¬ers looked more like the pre-tourn ament favorite they were suppos¬ed to be in this session, chalking up 17 points. The score: Ephraim G. T. F. P. Peterson,f 3 2 17 Erickson.f 3 4 2 81 L.

Dixie Turns On Speed To Overtake Provo, 42-35 One of the strangest last-minute about faces in tournament history gave Coach Lee Hafen's gallant band of Dixie Fliers their 42 to 35 triumph over a brilliant but tem¬peramental Pro¬vo team. The Bulldogs appeared headed for certain vic¬tory after pull¬ing out in iront five points with as flawless a dis¬play of team¬work as the tour¬nament has seen when suddenly something went wrong. The Fli¬ers hit their stride, tied the count and went ahead as the frantic Provoans forgot their passing game and shelled the hoop with long shots that wouldn't drop. Dixie finished one point ahead at the end of a ding-dong first half, 22-21, after Provo had piled up a 9-6 advantage at the quarter. After feeling each other out, both teams uncorked some of the smoothest passing and most con-sistent shooting in the tournament, A string of five consecutive foul conversions by Fawcett, Dixie guard, put the Fliers even with the polished Bulldogs, at the start of the second quarter, and brilliant caging by McArthur and Captain Milne who counted four goals apiece in the first half sustained the drive. Hoover with four .voals and Peterson were the leading Pro¬vo scorers half way in the com est. Allen Gets Going Blond Glen Allen, Provo center, suddenly found his scoring eye to shoot his team into a ,34-29 lead at the third quarter. Allen found the hoop four times in this canto, which with two sensational long shots from Peterson gave the Bull dogs their big advantage. Fighting desperately, the Fliers unleashed a terrific fourth quarter assault good for 10 points in 4 row. The amazing foray put the Dixie boys out in front, 40-34, as thfe Bulldogs' magic scoring touch deserted them as completely as it had smiled on them during the first; three periods. One Point Period Peterson finally counted a foul pitch, but it was Provo's only point in the final period. Snow mounted another basket to drive home Dixie's victory, 42 35. It was a glorious evening foi Earl Tobler, tow-headed Dixie for¬ward. Stone-cold until the last quarter, the Dixie star came through with a 7-point scoring punch when his team needed it most to spark the sensational Flier rally. Dixie G. T. F. P.
