Show Redskins Flashing into Rampage Dance SECOND SERIES Two victories over the talented Cougars on February 15-16 found the Redskins at their season heights. The scores were 50-46 and 52-43. Both contests, the first a furious overtime battle, drew capacity crowds of three thousand to the historic Deseret Gym. A split series with the buffeted Montana State Bobcats marked Utah's first attempt of the second half. Led by Kinner, the Crimson ran roughshod to a 47-33 victory in the opener, but the rejuvenated Bozeman quintet, in an unexpected comeback, claimed a 47-35 triumph in the second contest. Hopes for a championship renewed by the apparent "break" they had been seeking since the opening of the campaign, the Utes were hosts to the dangerous Utah Aggies in the finale. Unable to match the sterling performance of the Logan quintet, the Crimson lost Friday's fray, 54-43, and with the defeat went all hopes for division laurels. Saturday, in an anti-climax, U.A.C., the newly crowned titleholders, claimed a second victory, 51-41.
