InteruCZass Basketball Series HE class seriesgives every student interested in basketball a chance to show the coaches whether he is or is not good enough to represent the Saints in basketball competition. Coaches West and Couch profited accordingly and uncovered much valuable material thi ough watching the contests. On November fourteenth the Junior College ch mpseSpencer and Jakeman, forwards, Garffxand Dunford, guards, and Anderson, centere met the Senior champseBird and Baggs playing forwa ds, Exeter at center, and Roberts and Jensen, guards. 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. The series of 29 was as successful as any yet hel at the Saint insti- tution both from the standpoint of sportsmanship an good playing.

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..-
