I —■ '■ ■IWIBIIII ————W Continued From 1-A YELLOW JACKETS-BERNE—The Yellow Jackets whipped Berne on the Bears’ home court early in the . season, and while Berne definitely has improved since that time, it still looks like the YELLOW JACKETS. —o^)o——* GENEVA-HARTFORD—This might develop into the best game of the tourney. Hartford beat the Cardinals badly early in the season on the Hartford floor but likely will find the Cardinals much tougher at this stage of the campaign and that new three-man scoring punch too much to handle. On a hunch, it’s GENEVA. YELLOW JACKETS-GENEVA — The Jackets downed the Cardinals on the Geneva court early in the campaign. The Cardinals definitely are much stronger now than on that December date, but potentially, the Jackets are the best in several seasons, despite their slackening off in recent games. So, tor champions, we pick the YELLOW JACKETS. REGARDLESS of the outcome, here’s hoping for a fine tourney, the best of sportsmanship among players and fans, and, MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN.
