Show Invading the Cougar's lair, the Indian warriors fell victims to the fangs of their would-be prey. Here Dick Smuin and a seemingly friendly opponent do a graceful mid-air twirl as "Tricky Dick" tries for another two points.Their wounds healed and their arrows sharpened, the Utes, on their own hunting ground, deliver a double thrashing to the invading Cougars. Smith scrambles for the ball in a tense moment of the memorable tilt.B.Y.U., Utah's most ardent basketball rival, played Utah a visit around the last of January. The end result was a trifle disheartening as the strong, potent Cougars edged past the Redskins 56 to 55 in the last few seconds of play. But during the next meeting of the two clubs on Utah's floor, the local boys came roaring back to post a definite 58 to 49 victory to even the count.Sensational Roland Minson, flashy B.Y.U. forward, was the prime factor in Utah's first setback as he hit from far and near to practically win the game single handed. The score changed hands so many times that it was hard to keep track of what was going on. Vern Gardner played his usual strong game and scored 15 points.The second home game was slightly different. After a close first half, the Utes went slightly wild to go ahead and stay there until the affair was over. Gardner again led the scoring parade with 16 tallies. Both games were wide open, free-wheeling affairs that had the full house constantly on its feet.In an attempted screen play, George Smith endeavors to drive past Roland Minson, while Gardner ignores the advancements of another Cougar.223 |
