urday night, 64 to 58. Webster coach Donnie Butts, with three returning varsity players, said in early pre-season practice sessions, “Our team is small but they have a good spirit. I’m grounding them in fundamentals, which should pay off.” He said a mouthful, and it did pay off Saturday and in their game against Milford and South Whitley. His returning lettermen were Rick White, Dennis Stalter and Tim Hine, all small but eager. One can take nothing from the Trojans, but the lellow Jackets were obviously fatigue in the final game. Their victory over .Akron, which entered the tourney with a 11-
0 record, took a lot out of the Jackets. Evidence of this is the fact that the Jackets had 25 fouls called on them, to 16 for North Webster. Webster made 18 out of 27 foul attempts and Syracuse made 12 out of 20 attempts. Both teams made 23 field goals in the finals, but the fouls proved their undoing. Webster lost no men to fouls, while Syracuse lost Rob Clevenger, Tom Thornburg and John Wortinger, and Brad Bauer stood with four fouls against him. In. other tourney games, good foul shooting kept the Jackets in the running. In the first game against Pierceton, for example, they got 9 out of 15 attempts; and against Mentone they shot a very good 75 per cent, or 27 out of 36 attempts. In the Akron upset, the Jackets got 73 per cent, or 24 out of 33 attempts.. In the finals, they dropped to 60 per cent, making 12 out of 20 attempts. Coach Ken Workman, spoiling for a tourney win, looked upon foul shooting as a real weapon in his team’s path to a good season. In recent weeks he has placed great emphasis on foul shooting, and it paid off. only to let them down in the finals.
It should be noted the Jackets took the four-game route in the tourney, while North Webster played only three games in all. A brief pep session with limited speeches from players and others at North Webster Monday morning, then a day off -for the victorious team and their fellow classmates. • • • It was said Syracuse “folded up” Saturday night as the town turned out to see their Jackets play. No doubt the same thing happened in North Webster. A comment was heard by a Jacket fan. in an effort to lessen the hurt. “Well, anyway we kept the thing in the Lakeland corporation”. A bigger than life sign turned up in the Tom Socks front window Sat-1 urday morning after the Mentone win, “We're Gonna Fight With Al| Our Might! We're Gonna Be Victorious. Dam Right!” Elementary principal Ed Speers was wearing a ribbon marked “Official” at the tourney. He told friends he was the official bouncer. “It also gets me in free”, he added. The Jackets enjoyed a hearty breakfast with coaches and principal at the Bon-Len Case Saturday morning. An aside worth watching were Doug Wells and Kermit Welty, both good Jacket fans. They led a group of Syracuse boys who had formed their own cheerblock, sitting along side the regular cheerblock, mostly girls. Besides being known as a cheerblock, the group called themselves the “Dirty Thirty”, and as membership grew they called themselves the “ Filthy Forty”. They had the spirit, nonetheless. Mrs. Hugh (Bart)) Neer, county nurse and daughter of tourney announcer Glen Longenecker, was on duty, and “saw service” on several occasions as several fainted in the Syracuse section. Roger Cormican, a Webster star, got a “Charley horse” in the calf of his left leg twice in the final quarter of the second team game, and finally had to be pulled out of play. A Syracuse fan yelled at Webster coach Butts with 19 seconds left to play that he should put in his eager second stringers. This he did, but a

When the Whitko and Lakeland consolidations are completed there may be only five teams left: Whitko, Wawasee, Akron, Mentone and the OLL Seminary. Jacket fan George Kistler is miffed that the fine Warsaw team doesn’t indicate on its programs where the players come from. Only a few of them are from Warsaw, he says.
The Yellow Jackets unwittingly assumed the role of the underdog in the tourney. When they played such favorites as Pierceton, Mentone and Akron, the latter with a no-loss record, it seemed like the entire house was for them. The Jackets have had two years of drought, and when they came to life in the tourney, they were the darlings of most fans. If you noticed Syracuse senior Tim Yeager taking a lot of pictures at the tourney, it is because he is entered in a photographic contest. Tim is a highly skilled photographer. North Webster high school fans toured the county Monday morning in ribbon festooned cars, with horns blaring. They were stopped short at the Syracuse school grounds, and informed that they were not to disturb schools in session. • • • Mrs. James C. (Linda Lantz'Connolly, whose husband appeared on CBS-TV in a Walter Cronkite newscast on Tuesday night, Dec. 27, has had calls from many people m the area who saw the program. Linda didn’t see it. incidentally. Most of the calls came from peonla she doesn’t know. Her hufr band, a West Point graduate and a Captain serving as an advisory in Viet Nam, is the son of James Connolly and Mrs. Joy Sims of Syracuse. In April Captain Jim is expected to be rotated to Hawaii for a brief period of rest and recupei ation (R & R) at which tune Linda hopes to fly there to join her husband. Bait house owners and sportsmen’s equipment would like to see the hunting and fishing laws amended that a license is good for ooe year ; after date of purchase, according to Mr. Peterson, owner of the Kale Island Bait House.
