The best that the Utes could do was four cut of 14. Jack Parkinson paced the winners with 20 points, many of them scored on hook shots, but Bob Brannum was held out the last thirteen minutes of the first half because he was charged with three fouls. The big center dropped in 11 points in the final session after going scoreless in the first period. 4 At Half 4 The score was at the half. It was tied six times and the lead changed hands on as many occasions as the two teams battled on erven terms through the first half. The lead changed hands three more times in the first five minutes of the second period before the Wildcats definitely took command. Their advantage never was a too firm one, however, as the Utes fought back on the great shooting of Arnold FeVrin and Herb Wilkerson.

After working in newspaper work for a while in New York she went to Florida. While she was in Florida she met the one and only. And so they were married.
