Utah clinched first place, pro tem, at least, by harvesting both encounters, and closed the books with a four game sweep on the Blue and White. In the first nighter that seesawed back and forth, with the Upstaters in command of a 16-15 margin at the turn, Coach Peterson's minions gained the decision 36-29. In this affray, Belliston and Campbell for U. A. C, and Bennion and Smith for U. U., were the principals. One of the hardest fought hoop struggles ever enacted at the Deseret Gym resulted the second night, with Utah winning in the last 20 seconds, 42-40, thanks to a string splitter from the middle of the floor by Stan Smith.

BRIGHAM YOUNG Brigham Young, favored in early season to coast through to the division bunting, met a snag in Utah's homeguards, who spilled them once to gain a 50-50 break.
