by Buddha Bushman

YV ell, congrats to Tom MacOwau and Wheatfield, Maybe oiir Indians have learned that they are playing no - set-ups this year and can't win games on the strength of their KVT win. *'■ * ’ * * r r Coach Camp and his hast Oaks tram lin ew a s&i pi isc in o < V;-r ; at the tourney. Replacing some of his contented seniors with a few inexperienced sophs and freshies seemed to pay dividends. Rog. Wirwl<|>\v, trip Cherokee center, was the outstand ing player in the tourney in our e>; ; mation. A brilliant shot, and his floos game stood out over all. Yes] credit is due the young Oherokevs, hut- • wouldn’t venture to say what they would do without W r in slow. *** * * * Although the DeMotte hoys seem ed a little too contented with them (selves before the tourney, \ye f* <d that, a little defense should he; set tn for them. Kenny ZeckV high sejoyer of his squad, was on the ailing list and not at his best. Also, it seeny-d as if the Indians’ shots just wouldn’t go in. However, the basket-piaking-;'ability is What wins ball games. * **-■* *. 'I i Prior to the start of the sea ot we read glowing "and fabulous tale concerning the Rensselaer BB team. Although we feel that the Bombers haVe potential greatness and ; should go through the. sectional in stride, they haven’t lived up to the advance j press notices. We are wondering if i the scribes might have put ‘‘two strikes” oh Bailsman’s boy* : bejfore. they got to the plate, ; HELPFUL HINT DEPT.: To the i DeMotte forward who made our all { KVT team —You hart better start J working in practice and snap] out of i that lethargy you are in, or there is going to he a boy named Rchoonveld named as a starter. Yeh, and he don’t care what position hi 1 plays. ' > ***** | . j: " . To the Sports writer of thy Keen Keener. DHR publication—Concern ing the Kouts game, L don’t believe we were “cheated” or beaten by poor-; , ujfieiating. That stuff is not; doing ! you any good, nor is it helping the \school in any way. ***.+* WANT AD DEPT: A few gj.od Tn dependent hnsketball players and the j crowds to go with them.
