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

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.
A raging blizzard restricted at

The Josies Tuesday night blast
ed St. Cecelia’s of Hastings 53-28
at York to win the interdiocesan
Catholic meet at York and the
Atkinson kids showed the strain
of the three-day southern stand.
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

vhen on a cutback he tore liga

One More Week I
• Last week we told our friends
through the columns of this news
paper that we would have big news
concerning our reopening.
• In the meantime, however, we have
expanded our remodeling and re
decorating, thus delaying our re
. opening one week. j
• The fire two weeks ago caused ex
tensive damage, but when we re
open our store it will present a
“brand new” appearance from one
end-to-the-other.
• Many thanks for bearing with us
during this period. Full details of
our reopening will be published

PUB, CARDS SPLIT
DOUBLEHEADER
Ainsworth pressed O'Neill most
of the way Friday night before
1 the Eagles finally won 40-35. 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.
