Willshire Is Defeated In Tourney Final By JACK HELLER A bitter northwest wind swept through Cincinnati Saturday, chill-' ing the whole city and freezing up the Willshire Bearcats for three quarters of the Ohio Class B basketball championship game. When the neighboring Buckeye team finally thawed out and began playing the type of ball they are capable of and the type of ball that would have won them the championship, the damage had already been done by Cincinnati’s version of Indianapolis Crispus Attucks, the Lockland-Wayne Panthers. For the first three quarters, the Willshire team tried their hardest to find a winning groove and stay in it, but their efforts were of little avail. The Queen City’s all Negro team put together red-hot shooting and a very effective collapsing defense on the Bearcats’ big Gary Kessler and pulled away steadily. Only in the last quarter when his teammates began feeding Kesler, could th |;ig center use his size and ability to much advantage. In the final stanza, j he dropped (literally as well as figuratively) in sixteen of his 19 points and the Willshire boys outscored their opponents .20-10. Lockland-Wayne grabbed the initial lead and held it throughtout the game. Alton Smith, Wayne forward, , hit the first field goal attempted sh the game for a 2-0 lead. Dick Marbaugh flipped in a free throw and it was 2-1 Wayne. The Bearcats were behind bygone at 6-5 and &7, but after that-, the Panthers pulled away to take a' 17-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. Kesler got his other three points in this stanza as many of the passes intended for him never got there. With big Gary out of their hair for most of the second period, as he watched from the bench, Wayne continued to pull away. The Bearcats played good basketball but just couldn’t make their shots stick. The third quarter again saw’ very little

but stayed on the floor only for the first two minutes. The Bearcats were still unable'get him the ball. Even a ten foot player can’t score without the ball. Kesler’s substitute, Larry Miller, played a fine game and garnered eleven big points but still gave away almost a foot in height under the boards. Lockland - Wayne drew away even farther to hold an eighteen point bulge at the threequarter mark, 36-44. The quarter saw the Willshire boys play the champions off their feet and almost out of their championship. Larry Miller dropped in two free throws and Dick Marbaugh one to narrow the margin a little to 40-55, and then big Gary came off the bench like an avenger. In a. little over five minutes he scored 16 points as the wholq Willshire team came to life in a rousing rally. The . Bearcats put on an all-court press i and forced the rattled Panthers I into several bad passes. Only old ! man time who still won’t wait for anything including championship basketball games, kept the fired-up Willshire lads out of the winners' circle and the game ended with Lockland-Wayne on top, 64-56. Kesler lea Willshire with 19 points followed by Clase with 12 and Miller with 11. Virg Thompson was high scorer for Wayne getting 21 points and playing a' superb all-round game. Despite their loss —the only one of the season against 28 wins—i the Bearcats deserve a rousing j cheer. The entire team and coach Robert Games displayed talent and sportsmanship throughout the entire season. It was a job very well done. r .
