Basketbawl (Continued from Page 1) look better from this typewriter. So, we pick COMMODORES. —oOo— — JEFFERSON-MONROE— The Bearkatz have had a pretty poor season, but Jefferson’s has been worse. So, we pick MONROE. HARTFORD-YELLOW JACKETS—Hartford walloped the Jackets in the latters’ season opener last November, an event the Jackets shouldn’t forget. Also, the Jackets have come far since that tilt. So, we pick YELLOW JACKETS.

MONMOUTH EAGLES WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO TAKE THE SECTIONAL KING’S SALES

KIRKLAND KANGAROOS

BERNE-COMMODORES — Whether or not the Commodores can shake that late-season slump js still mighty doubtful from this angle. So, we pick EERNE. —oOo— MONROE-YELLOW JACKETS — We previously cited the defending champions’ poor season record. So, we pick YELLOW JACKETS. BERNE-YELLOW JACKETS— These teams met three times during the regular season, with the Jackets winning all by decisive margins. Despite Berne’s easier schedule and longer rest,.it should be four in a row. So, we pick YELLOW JACKETS. —oOo — THOSE ARE our selections. And here are BASKETBAWL’S hopes for a great sectional, the finest of sportsmanship—AND—may the BEST team win.
