HOLT COUNTY TOURNEY ... Page, Atkinson, O'Neill Cop; St. Joe, Stuart Take Quarterfinals OPIRST ROUND: Coyotes Try Desperately to Overcome Page but Fail — Page, Atkinson and O’Neill were the victors Monday night in the opening round of the ann ual Holt county high school bas ketball tourney. Page put the skids under Chambers, 28-23; At kinson bested St. Mary’s academy 28-19, and O’Neill bopped Ewing 47-19. Page 28; Chambers 23 The Chambers Coyotes fought valiantly for four long periods but were unsuccessful in over coming a strong Page lead and the Chambers quint was the first to bow out of the 1947 title 2*306. Center Cooke caged several nif ty secondhalf buckets that braced the Coyotes and kept them in the game, but Page flashed too much teamwork and footing for the greener Coyotes. Forward Heiss, of Page, won scoring honors with 13.

QUARTERFINALS: St. Joe, Catholic Champs, Topple Page; Stuart Stops Inman — The fancy-stepping St. Joseph’s academy quint of Atkinson, back in the Holt county fold with the state Catholic basketball champ ionship tucked safely away, blast ed Page 33-19 in, the quarterfin als of the Holt county tourney here Wednesday night. Two oth er quints, who like the Josies had been issued first^round byes, fought bitterly before the Stuart Bronchos finally won from the Inman Tigers, 30-21.

But Page, which had gained the quarterfinals bv beating Cham bers, couldn’t hold a candle to the classy Josie# whose1 Ed Scott fielded 17 points in a parttime ex hibition. Page’s Forward D. Heiss looked best for the losers with 10 tallies. Page held a 6-5 advantage at the first quarter and only four joints separated the clubs at the aalf. Page controlled the ball as nuch as possible to hold down ;he scoring of the rangier Josies. Guard John Weichman was lost :o the academy team in the third vhen on a cutback he tore liga nents in a foot. He was taken ;o a doctor and appeared on ■rutches later in the evening. The boxscore: ST.

It was perhaps the fastest cage tilt of the season on the O’Neill rink. The mix was the second-half of a double header, Orchard clipping St. Mary’s in the first event (see story below.) The Eagles held the upperhand at each rest period—11-9 *t the first quarter; 21-16, at half; 28 25, at third quarter—but the game wasn’t iced until the waning min utes. Forward Ike Saindon and Center Bob Matthews accounted for 27 O’Neill pointers. A host of Ainsworth fans were in the stalls. 10 Gratis Flips Help Orioles Down Cards — Ten counters from the free throw lane helped the Orchard Orioles down the St. Mary’s Car dinals here Friday in the first half of a doubleheader. The Cards converted on six gratis flips. Orchard’s Schluessner duo chalked up seven points apiece to lead the scoring. The academy scoring—as usual — was evenly distributed. 'all-triumphant until the O’Neill Eagles dealt them a Waterloo last week. The Stuart setback was the second loss of the year. The Bronchs outfought but didn’t nec essarily outclass the Tigers in the Wednesday tilt. Inman’s Max aiossman was hot at the freethrow lane as he swish ed through six pointers in addi tion to three fielders. Stuart’s Guard Shaffer caged 11 tallies to lead the Bronchs.
