Show State High School Basketball Tourney For the first time within the recent history of man the "U" was able to bring the state high school basketball contests to the hill. Six division winners came up to win the title and enjoy the hospitality of the University. In their first ambition five of them were disappointed, but in the second they were royally treated by the fraternities, the cafeteria management, which fed them during their stay, and by the students generally. There was some disappointment in the tournament. In the first place, the Branch A. C. became disgruntled, and after having defeated two teams they withdrew, while Bingham and Weber Academy fought it out for the championship, Weber winning. Springville, in the first night's play, put up a brilliant game, and was looked upon as a dangerous contender. Before the next game, however, they lost Brown, a phenomenal guard, a substitute, and their coach, all three being taken with the "flu". The rest of the team, crippled as they were, remained in the fight, and put up some very plucky playing. With the conclusion of the tournament, the athletic council of the "U" gave a banquet for the teams, for University athletes, and for alumni. About three hundred guests were there, and it is safe to say that no better advertisement of the school on the hill could have been devised. Standing of the Teams, Weber Academy B. A. C.
