Listed with a group of heroes, rangy Pat Deming, 6 foot 3 inch Ogden guard, proved to be the spark that gave the Ogden boys a well earned win in one of the most exciting and hard fought games that could be witnessed in any tournament. Following a sensational Murray rally in the fourth period, in which the Smelterites, fighting an uphill battle, overcame a five point lead to deadlock the score at 25-all, the spectators got a three minute rest period and then settled back to see one ot two great teams score me necessary two points which meant victory. Ogden cornered the ball and rimmed the hoop several times before the Murray boys could re¬trieve the ball from the backboard. Shooters Rushed They worked the ball into Ogden territory, but their sharpshooters were either rushed or bottled up by the driving Ogdenites. After four minutes of play, during which time Ogden had missed two foul pitches, Deming got loose in one corner, lifted a high arching one-handed shot, and tanked the goal which spelled finis to Murray's great bat¬tle to remain-in the running. 1 Murray got away to a slow start, and althought Coach Moesinger's five frequently penetrated the Og-den zone defense they could not make good their shots. Ogden also messed up a number of open shots in the initial period, which ended with the count at 5-all. In the second canto, Ogden settled down to play a more deliberate brand of ball. It shoved its score to 10 points before Bogden got away for Murray's only points in this period. By halftime Ogden had taken a commanding lead, with the score standing 14 to 7. Deming registered a nice corner shot just seconds before the half ended. At the opening of the second half Bengoschea and Deming pushed the Ogden score to 18 while a nervous, but fighting, Murray five tried desperately to locate the hoop. It finally opened up with long-range shooting which soon started to pay dividends. Max Townsend tanked two side shots and Pete Bogden fol¬lowed in a shot to register a goal. At the end of the period Ogden was on top, 18 to 13. Following up where they left off, the Murray boys continued to bom¬bard the hoop in the final period. Aguirre and Deming first scored for the Ogden district winners, and the score stood 22 to 15 for Coach Kapple's five. Pete Bogden was allowed a field goal on a long shot when the Ogden guard touched the hoop. The same boy, only seconds later, tanked one from side-center, and then came right back to garner his third field goal in less than two minutes of play. The count then read 22 to 21 for the Tigers. Aguirre tipped one in from beneath the bas¬ket, but Pezely canceled this one by counting a beautiful shot from near center of the court. Deming counted one of two foul pitches. Bill Johnson then gathered in a long pass-in from out of bounds and let go just as the gun sounded. The shot was good and the score was deadlocked at 25-all. The riotous finish was then staged.

The triumph carried the St George cagers into the semifinal round of the state championship high school hoop tourney, Controlling the ball from the tip-off, the Dixie quint played a smart- passing, hot-shooting game to roll up a 14-5 lead in the first quarter and go through the contest with Coach Leo Hafen not having to worry at all about the outcome.

Contin-uing the consistent 13-points-per- quarter scoring, the Dixieland band of hoopsters had the score 40 to 19 in their favor when the final canto got under way. Earl Tobler did some fancy shoot¬ing in the first period, sinking the sphere from all angles, to register 10 points. Therol McArthur and Charles Pickett took up the scoring duties in the second half to dunk four and three goals, respectively. Little Doug Clark played brilliant g jr. ball for the braves, covering the floor like a whirlwind and putting on as classy a one-man exhibition as has been seen in the entire tourna¬ment. The Fliers finished the game with most of their reserves in the con¬test. For a team that started the season with only two reserves back from last year, the Dixie quint has developed remarkably well. The team is one of the smoothest-work¬ing machines that has come up from the southland for some time.
