WASHINGTON - CLAY WON their second consecutive county tourney championship Saturday night with a win ove^ a surprisingly tough Penn Township team who were in every game “The People’s Choice”. This gives the Colonials their ninth title, putting them well ahead of the field in that department and it i s only the sixth time a school has won the title two years running. The Clay teams of 1950, 1951 and 1952 won three consecutive titles, the only time that ti ick has been performed. WITH A BIG MAN TO CAUSE most of the damage, the Co’onials were always that threat under the basket and it made the opponents defenses just a little weakened at other spots in attempts to cover Roger Anglemyer. This led t« points being scored by the rest of the team winch was good in their own right, but the task was certainly made easier with the overshifting of the defenses. THE TOURNEY HAD ITS surprises as they usually do. North Liberty didn’t wait long to start this string of the unexpected as they dumped Madison, one of the f tvorites, in the opening game. This score was 57-45 as Madison looked very bad in several ways. They depend a lot on the efforts of one Larry Beehler, and he had one of those nights when his offhalance shooting just wasn’t finding the mark. That and their ’ack of offensive rebounds, combined with a total of 28 personal fouls their shabby defense collected, gave the Shamrocks all the advantages they needed. THE SECOND GAME FOUND the eventual tourney winners defeating Walkerton in a game that i eally featured scoring. With the two teams combining their shooting talents fpr 143 points, this was one of the free scoring games that carries so much interest. Especially high was the second half scoring-. Despite the fact that day led most of the way, they didn’t dare slow up because of the hot shooting Indians THE ACTION THURSDAY rnght found New Carlisle running over Greene Township in the most one-sided game in the tourney. They jumped to an early lead and didn’t let up throughout the contest. Even in the later stages when they could have substituted mare freely, their coach kept a couple oi regulars in the line-up and the final score was 75-48.

ville fell to Penn Township as the, Kings men made their initial debut ■ as a member of the St. Joseph , county tournament teams. They won the game wibh. y secuaus cu , >n a short one-hander that erased a Lakeville lead of 62-61, giving them the 63-62 victory. Penn refused to quit in the game when they were trailing and also didn’t get rattled, but remained very calm continued to work the ball at all times. SATURDAY. WASHINGTON - Clay jumped to an early lead over North Liberty in the first quarter as they moved to a 14-2 advantage. However, the Shamrocks managed to cut tihe gap to approximately ten points in the thi d neriod but Clay held on to win by « 65-48 score. PENN TWP. CAMB BACK with another surprising performance in their semi-final battle with New Carlisle as they piled up a comfortable 37-21 half-time Usd. The Tigers looked very strong in the tliird quarter and early fourth PWiod as they trimmed this lead to nothing, but Penn came book well after a cool period to win going away by a 68-58 score. THE FINAL GAME WAS AN' exciting one despite the fact that Washington-Clay seemed to have’ it under control moat of the way.' It appeared as the game progress-! ed, that Penn was a little tightened; up for this battle, missing some; niots they had hit with consistetiay' and were afraid they were going, to make a mistake. However a' late rally again n ut them right; back in contention, closing the margin to * jxrints late in the game and finally losing by a i 2 46 score. PENN AND CLAY HAD plenty of altitude on their teams? tout Anglemyer probably had the edge in experience over Vrancks of Penn Township as these two big boys battled hard under the boards. The thing that really carried the Co- 1 lonials through was the addition Steve Rich, who has been sid^lin d for several games with a severe ankle sprain. Rich played only cn a limited basis until trie final game when his rebounding and all-rourd play certainly boosted the Colonial team considerably. NEVER EEFORE HAS A tourney had anymore sparkling performers than d : d this 1959 tourney. To pick an All-Toureny team is almost impossible when you limit it to five or even ten players. Most of the schools had at least one standout or maybe even three or four. For Washington-Clay, you have to pick Anglemyer, Lattimer. Elmore. Lewis and the one real good performance of Rich. Penn had good work from both guards, Young and Hoefle, and their big boys, Vrancks and Sorgenfri. They were their outstanding performers‘ ' '

NORTH LIBERTY WAS sparked by the play of Hummer, Howard and Baughman especially and had sufficient help from their other starters. New Carlisle has Fisher, but unnoticed boys who mean »o much are Bromley, O’Shea and Tolman. For Walkerton, Shields and Weakly were the big guns in their defeat to Clay. Rounding out the top stars, Lakeville was sparked by two guards in particular, Miller and Schafer, while Jordan proved to be tough under the basket. NEXT YEAR’S TOURNEY HAS already caused some talk as Penn’s entire team will be back; Wash-ington-Clay loses only three of their team; Walkerton’s Indians will lose only one regular and one sub; Lakeville, six, including three starters and Greene has only two juniors returning out of their nine team matnbere. “Meet Mr. Lincoln Wednesday Night Walkerton residents will be among America’s “first nights s ’ when a new television technique is bora.
