Show Dykeman lad's work was practically nullified, as it was all season, by being compelled to play a defensive game, however, he proved to the fans his stellar worth. Near the end of the battle the score was 20-19, and Neely was sent into the fray with instructions to shoot, and shoot he did, for with but a minute to play he slipped one in from near the center of the floor, but very unfortunately young Dixon of the Provo entry was not to be outdone, and with but a few seconds to play he tallied from under the basket.

Then Utah travelled to Bozeman, Montana, for the next two engagements, and the northern lads, under the tutelage of Ott Romney, were quite formidable. Both teams were stinging from two previous defeats apiece, and they took the floor determined to send one or the other to the bottom of the ladder.

The work of Valery Glynn, a Salt Lake boy, was chiefly responsible for keeping Montana in the running. Utah's next foe proved to be none other than the much touted Aggies. The Farmers offensive was constantly a dread to Salt Lake's chances and indeed it would be only fair to say that they presented a more polished combination.
