counters with Laramie and Evans
ton. the opponents were held down
in their totals, Laramie totaling the
most points with the 20 tallies. This

the Evanston game when he played
through the entire 40 minutes with
a badly swollen arm.

ference of the coaches. Rock Springs
then took on Cheyenne for the sec
ond time and defeated her to the
tune OF . TO 8.
At the anne time Rock Springs
was defeating Cheyenne. Powell was
eliminating Glenrock.
Powell her turned her attention
to Rock Springs and again she played
the role OF the e~liminator. With
Rock Springs and Glenrock out OF
the running in Glass A the champion
