Junior Basketball Season HE L. D. S. Sophomores, under the tutelage of Waldo Osmond, con- ducted one of the most successful seasonsf'of its entire history by winning six of the ten games played. After winning five of the first six, Enoch Smith, stellar forward and captain,twas promoted to the first team and was thereby declared ineligible to play with the yearlings. This change completely disorganized the team and as a result the-rest of the season was not as successful. Rod Knight was elected captain after Smith's promotion. The Saints showed extraordinary ability by defeating Murray twice by the large scores of twentyesix to sixteen and thirty-six to eighteen. The firstzgame with East was played in Eastis coop and the L. D. S.,boys won, twenty-six to twenty-four in the closest and hardest fought battle of the year. Bud Bennion, diminutive forward, was a big factor in securing the Victory. The second contest with this school was played without Smith and the Leopards were victorious by a score of twenty to sixteen. East captured the Sophomore banner, L. D. S. finishing third. The members of the squad were: Smith, forward; Dunford, center; Knight, guard; Leavett, forward; Bud Bennion, iforward; Sam Bennion, forward; Ralphs, guard; Goddard, forward; Olsen, guard; Jones, center; and Murphy, forward. Back Row: Osmond, Coach; Dunford, Smith, Jones, Leavett. Front Row: Knight, B. Bennion, S. Bennion, Murphy, Olson. mg 161 Be..-

Kay Hale was a forward of rare ability. His iinever-say-die spirit aided considerably in the successful campaign of the church hoopsters. On the defensive line, Harold Roberts spelled havoe to on-coming basketeshooters. His agility in securing the ball and swiftly shooting it up the Iioor to the awaiting hands of his team mates was a big factor in the results of the Saint machine. Paul Bird, diminutive guard, teamed well witt Roberts. He fully made up the handicap of small size with his fighting spirit. itFrog Morr was a guard of exceptional initi tive. At the begin ning of the schedule he watched the games from the side-lines, but after a few trials as substitute, his worth was realized and he alternated with Bird on the guard line. Enoch Smith, although inexperienced at the beg'nning of the season, developed into a reliable forward. He was always ready to take the place of either of the regular forwards and fitted well int the Gold and Blue formation. His experience will prove invaluable to th team next year. Although not so large as some of the other high school hoopsters, Paul Christenson was a utility forward of uncommon cleverness. He pos- sessed an accurate eye for the hoop and played a big part in his schoolis passing attack whenever he was called upon. Keener, forward; Dunford, center; and Allen and Knight, guards; completed the squad. This group of reserves could a1 ays be relied upon and fitted well into the L. D. S. combination whenevtr they were needed. BIRD ORR G uard i uard

This game was one o the hardest fought in the series and ended in a Victory for the Junior Co lege, the final score being exceptionally close. Thus the way was paved for the championship game with the title winners of the Junior classaSmith and Knight, forw rds, Jones and Kerr playing guards, with Dunford at center. In this g me, on November eighteenth, the Junior College proved,to be too big nd too fast for the Junior team, defeating them by a fortyaone to lifteen s ore.
