Tourney Notes While offering the sincerest congratulations to the new county champs, we do think Monmouth won it the hard way. For the Monmouth Eagles took the circuitous rout 4 through Geneva then Pleasant Mills then through Decatur to return the championship trophy to the school north of the city. 000 To many persons attending the tournament, it looked, like history was going to repeat itself. The twdf fin&li»tx in the 1951 tourney were, thii same a* in the 196 t» championship game, 'riiis year, however, Monmoi'th Ihiew away the eoript, and wiwtir.u new finhh. • ; ■ ; ' ' 'Xh* ' • /’ll Hot)) the Uommodon-a and tip* Eugl< s, ii shoyved (he MHtlrm of mk h it tourney, espe< |uP, ly in the hi.->t hull of the final gam* when the pla‘,»r |ook*<| .1 wee 4lt Hrtd ’ ■ J , ” ' ] j Oro< nf the flrti bet«on<ln. in# M/oirnmub drewting ioom following i the game wax Inal ymir’it <omh 1 Myron 1/rbmun And probably one pgraoh was rooting as hard a.a any* <me else fm the win Jim Merriman. a •egultit on last year’s Mdnrnouth ieanikMbo Is in a Fort Wayne hospital, recovering from surgery where his hand was amputated Friday. \ I I ■' / oOo—- I /' , 1 'j Tht> championship loss doesn't detract one bit from the play "bf the Commodores—or 'any other team in the. four* ney—for they made a creditable showing all the way through. Indedd, we would say that all the games were hard-played, and |ilF in all, they were well playe#. The closeness of most of the stores indicates this. I --OOWinning the championship game wgs a fine beginning for Monmouth's coach. Charles ("Everyone calls me Porky") Holt.| who is in. his first year at the Ro<|>t township school. Hoit,\ incidentally, is a jiinior edition <rf the Yellow Jackets’ Bob of the type that puts his heart and soul Into the .game. Isis hekrt and soul and < especially his f^tt/for, like Worth-' man, he julhjrsup and down, flips round and round, and disagrees violent ly. .■ y ■ ''' fy • ’ ; ' 4- O(>O- - \ 7 | Touihey Notes, like, everyone else, liki s a success story. Especially the type where someone ovpijl coines some ailment that lays, him low io come back strong. And that’s more or less the story of Jim Price. 0f Pleasant Mills, who, was awarded the Everett Rice Sportsmanship trophy the elusion of the tourney. Strickep.’ with polfp h Ol ,o ° ,na hy years ago;, 1 younk Price fought it off. and came back as otic of the hardest players, in the county. 1' ‘'-HlOo * i 1 Hansel L. Foley, county supers intendeni df schools, is we think;,' ope of the most Impartial of men, and certainly would never .think of, discripfinating Among any of the Achools.. we that he copld be excused for having a sense of pfide in the fact that Momnoutb won the county tourney, and Jim Price, bf Pleasant Mills, won the sportsmanship trophy. For Foljey is a former priwcipal of both,i these schools. ; There yvere the usual high jink* following the champion- v} ship game Saturday, with the Monmouth booster* cavorting all’ over the city. Pom»poM* - weye prevalent everywhere; } carried from the gym where all / (schools’ rooters waved them oh high as their would do ; something extraordinary. During- tournaments, even players’ mistakes are a cue to becomi hysterical. It’s part of the atnjio4 phere, a requirement imposed by precedent. So the hilarity and shouting poured onto the \streets and the cars lified uj>, and horns were honked for more than bn hour after the final whistle; had blown. ’ . ‘ —oOo—' j 4 The Decatur high school gym wag packed 1 fullest for the Saturday games, thojigh there were stilt empty spaces in the bleachers.
