Cards Capture Class C Crown (Sm RECAP ai right) ATKINSON—The St Mary* academy Cardinals borrowed a page from Frank Meriweli Fri day night and captured the At kinson class C regional basketball tournament. They trailed a hot Page high outfit until the final 2 minutes, overcoming a 12-point deficit, eased into a 2-point lead, and then stalled while the clock was grinding out the finish in the fi nal game of the meet. The Eagles and a host of their followers were stunned by ■ the amazing turn of events after Lit tle Bill Zernpel had helped pro duce a neat lead with remark able long-range accuracy. Zempel hit 6 fielder* out of 7 tries during the first-half, giving Pag© s 10-7 first period lead of a 21-12 halftime advan tage. Coach Duke Kersenbrock’s youngsters were futile during the first half. Their passes were go ing where the guy wasn’t, their shooting from near and far was miserable. It looked like Page’s night by 16 lengths. Even at the 3d quarter the com plexion of the game had not changed and there was no evi dence that a sleeping volcano was about to erupt. Don Becker and Bemie Mohr finally loosed the shackles and got cracking—Becker with 11 points and Mohr with 7 during the fur ious 4th when the Cards made their height payoff. It was Wayne Donohoe’s bucket in the final moments that put the Cards on the glory trail. Final 3 minutes of the game was recorded by George Ham mond and broadcast on the Satur day Voice of The Frontier” pro gram (WJAG, 780 kc.) Boxseore. ST MARY’S (39) ig it pi pta < J.
