Tournament Notes

Newton is playing the perfect}
host to the tournament and each!
team is being greeted with a wel-|
come hand. Everything has been
run off with clock-work timing.
Members of Newton’s squad, ex- |
cluding the first ten, have been
assisting in every way possible.
Under the direction of Wayne
Crawford, there are managers for
each team and two guards in the
dressing rooms at all times.

The high school band, under the
direction of E. S. Sanderson, has
been present at each game and
lend color and music to the oc-
casion. Numerous pep sections
from the other schools flocked to |
Lindley hall and the Newton band |
formed the background for their

. Hope boasts one of the}
biggest and surely the smallest

players in the tournament. For |
size, Mt. Hope has Jones, a strap- |
ping 6 foot 4 inch giant, who is|
built like a rock. To the other)
extreme they have Raymond Grier, |
a mere five foot lad. The crowd |

One ofthe finest players to. per-
form in the Regional was Charles
Moffit of the eliminated Peabody
five. Moffit played with the losing
Peabody team all year and had a
neat 17 point average. Against
Galve he made 22 chalkers and
turned in a whale of a game.

Newton’s big court spelled doom
to numerous ball teams Thursday.
Nearly every Class B team used a
zone defense which predominates |
on a small court. The boys couldn’t |
get adjusted to the spacious floor)
