Six Beaver Boys Play on the 213th
National Guard Basketball Team

Six Beaver men were squad members of the 213th Field Artillery
Battalion basketball team at Fort Lewis. Lieutenant Colonel J. Frank Dalley,
rear center, commanding officer of southern Utah's National Guard unit,
holds the trophy won by the team in a tournament at Fort Lewis. The
trophy
was for runner-up spot in post competition, and was presented just before the
boys left for overseas duty. Pictured here with Col. Daily are members of the
team, the coach and his assistant and officers.

The boys, now somewhere in the Far East Theatre, sent their trophy to the editor of the
Iron County Record for safe keeping until their return home. The trophy and picture
