From every angle the fau day joust will be a truly all-state affair. Lehi and Tintic put on a ding- dong battle Wednesday in the game staged in Pleasant Grove. The miners, fighting desperately to upset a team which has had many predecessors appear in the state tourney, held a 7 to 5 lead at the end of the first quarter and a 12 to 10 margin at halftime. Keith Trane, gangling sophomore scoring ace, nicked the hoop for three baskets in the third period and his ability to crash through for needed buckets was the primary reason for the Pioneers holding a 22 to 17 lead at the end of the canto. Sid Manning, captain and forward, rang up one basket and one foul pitch in this frame to help bring the northern Utah county crew a commanding lead. In the final frame, the Miners were limited to one foul toss and Lehi tallied 10 points. McCormick and Wirthlin were the outstanding performers for Tintic, each playing a hangup floor game. Carten, speedy forward, rang up 7 of his team's 18 points. Smith and Gray played sparkling ball on Lehi's defensive line, the latter turning in a particularly bril¬liant performance. Dick Mitchell, elongated center, rang up 8 points. By defeating Tintic, Lehi reenters the tourney following an absence of one year. The Tigers of Ogden were too strong for South Cache in the play-off test at Brigham City. The Junction city youngsters led throughout, quarter scores being 8-2, 12-5 and 8-11 in their favor. Scoring was fairly evenly divided, no one player having an exceptional evening at connecting with the hoop.
