Tourney Talk

Those who like their basketball
fast and furious and full of shoot-
ing, should have had that desire
well satisfied in the Hillsboro-
Valley Center tilt. The final score
was 86-39. When the nets on the
basket quit smoking, we found
that all records for Lindley hall
had been broken. Two baskets per
minute is quite a feat for high)
school basketball.

To Mount Hope goes the
iron man medal. They played
two games in the opening
round on Thursday, and scored

- 40 points in the first and 39
points in the night cap. This
team also has the tournament
David and the Goliath. Little
Raymond Grier made his pres-
ence felt in both coritests with
baskets, while the Goliath,
Jones, kept the opponents from
under the bucket.

A new low in tournament play |
was the fate of the Whitewater
Elks who were’ colder than the)
well known well. difeer's dope |
Ss bane boys.

Peabody comes through
right along with an outstand-
ing tournament star. Two
years ago it was Baker, the
blonde, and this year it is

Moffett. In losing a _ heart-

breaker to the well balanced

and fighting Galva Chieftains,

Moffett scores nine buckets

and fou ee—throws to keep

is team in the running. |

To the Buhler team goes some |
sort of a record performance. They |
scored 20 times from the field'|
without making a single free
throw while they were winning. a,
rather easy contest from the Mar- |
ion Warriors. |

It must be some sort of a
record when two Ark Valley
teams play a game in which
there are only eight fouls
called and the starting fives
score but one free marker in |
more than three and a half |
periods of spirited play.
One of the fine gestures of |

sportsmanship happened in the}
midst of the Cathedral-Hillsboro |
game. The Shamrock — center|
stumbled over a Trojan and fell |
to the floor. Even though Hills-|
boro was behiind and they had just |
recovered the ball, the captain of |
the Trojans stopped, jerked his ad- |
versary to his feet and was off |
to aid his mates.
