Grade Tourney Granduer Last Friday’s annual classic, the Milford grade school basketball tourney, perhaps could be called a “comedy of errors,” borrowing from Shakespeare, as third-grad-ers through sixth.graders displayed what not to do as well as what to do on the hardwood before more than 400 enthusiastic fans. Ken Hullinger, high school teacher and director of this year’s tourney, announced that the proceeds, which amounted to $116.50, will be used by the project com-, mittee of the PTO to purchase needed equipment and books. In the evening’s opening contest, Mr. Young’s third grade Trojans and Tigers, led by Tom Beer’s four points and Tim Levernier’s two points combined to blank the Lion and Bulldogs of coach Allen 6-0 in typical rock ’em-sock ’em third grade fashion. Mr. Kegebein’s power house fourth-graders, led by John Da vidsen’s four points and Steve Wolferman’s fine overall play trounced Mr. Wenger’s shortsided Red team e 13-5 in the second contest. Dana Haab led the Reds with three points; Dave Brooks, lanky center for - Mr. Wenger’s Cardinals, poured nine points through the hoop in the opening period of the fifth grade contest, then watched his teammates hold on for a 13-10 victory over Mr. Beiswanger’s Comets. Dale Custer led the losers with four points to tie Gale Estep for runner-up honors. The nightcap, which pitted Mr. Cole’s Reds against Mr. Kesler’s Blues was a real thriller. The Blues, led by Dennis Newcomer’s seven points, built up a half-time . 11-4 advantage. Then Joe McKibbin led a brilliant last half rally by scoring nine points as his team pulled to within one point at the buzzer 17-16. Officials Justin Kneeland and Bill Speicher deserve much of the credit for making the tourney run smoothly and Gerald Van Meter, Clifford Replogle, Mrs. Lawrence Myers, Mrs. Ken Hullinger, Mrs. Fred Snyder, Dennis Cory and the juniors who donated $lO from the sale of concessions, all donated valuable time and effort in making this year’s PTO grade tourney a real success.

Bowling Prattle Wonder if we give much tho’t to one aspect of bowling — “The Team Sponsor.” It isn’t the money the sponsor lays on the line for entry fee and shirts — its the sportsmanship he shows as well as good fellowship to help the good cause along. Os course it is presumed we patronize our sponsor, but do we do any word-of-mouth *’ advertising to show our appreciation ? ' Not only /or the merchant, man-, ufacturer 6r banker, but do we show our gratitude to the newspaper that struggles to print our league standings and individual scores without charge. He to is a mighty good sponsor of all teams, and believe your ’ole friend Prattle when he says he buys extra copies each week of said newspaper — he could say “Mail-Journal” — but he won’t, because saying it in print isn’t by word of mouth as above mentioned. Believe it or not, your sponsor is sitting on the sidelines every night or day you bowl and win or lose, he won’t let you down. Since this bid or “Prattle” appears in the Mail-Journal newspapef, it may not be appropriate to state, for the free publicity given to bowling, we owe the publisher a debt of gratitude — but since bowling is on its last lap of the season — I’ll say it. And may the best team win. Your Reporter—Uncle Prattle
