Show BASKETBALL Meet th' Champs Idaho University was the first to suffer from the steady beat of the Ute Tom-Tom. The Vandals dropped a pair to the Utes with Art Bunte giving an indication of what was going to happen in future games. Art scored 21 the first night and 16 the second night as the Utes rambled to 83-53 and 71-54 wins. Hawaii played a week-end series and left with a total of 185 points scored against it. The first night Utah broke the fieldhouse scoring record, pouring through 109 points. Bunte again was tops with 20, but DeLyle Condie and Gary Bergen helped push the score to its astronomical height. Bergen notched 13 and Condie 12 in the fiasco. Hawaii held Utah to 76 points in the second game, but the damage had been done. Bunte, Bergen, and Curtis Jensen led a revengeful attack on the Arizona Wildcats for a 77-44 win. Arizona tumbled again the second night, this time by 83-68, with scores of 28, 16, and 12 by Bunte, Bergen, and Berner, respectively. Then came LaSalle, the nation's No. 1 team, boasting all-American Tom Gola. But the Utes heeded no warnings and defeated LaSalle 79-69 in Madison Square Garden. Bergen scored 14 and Bunte 19 in the first game of the Kentucky meet, where the Wildcats edged past Utah, 70-65. The Utes fell again the second night of the meet to Southern California.
