If there has been one jinx for the r.., team last season and this, it's the boys from the Basin. The Boomers, you know, have lost only one game out of six this year?and that was to Copperhill two weeks ago. It was the snakes 4 from the Basin also that sent Murphy diving head-first' into the sea of oblivion in the tournament finals at Marble last fall. So they meet again Sunday in Murphy's sideyard, and it's do or die for the dear old boys from Cherokee. Jim Franklin expects the largest crowd to attend this year due to the varied aspects of the game have taken on. and Ed Studstill is figuring on taking in so much money that they will have to have an armored ear to take it away tafely.
