Saturday night March 8, saw the climax to one of the ? - greatest high school tournaments ever held in South Carojp~= Una. Tj&ejjlajr and conduct of the players was superb except in one or two instances .where we saw somethings happen that haye never happened in a SCAC tournament. Other k.- than these happenings the teams displayed fine coaching and sportsmanship. The refereeing of these games^were in hands of five of the better officials in the conference.

THE FINALS AND THE GIRLS In the finals Saturday night at the Columbia Township Audtorium the games were truly championship quality. In the first game the battle was between Lancaster Training and the mighty little Camp Liberty High. Camp Liberty pulled away to an early lead in the first quarter but the hard working Lancaster girls kept whittling away the Camp Liberty lead until the game was tied; then the girls from l^incaster eased in front and. remained until the final whistle. This game had some of the best girls basketball players seen in these parts in a long time. Georgia Clayburn - was easily the star of the Lancaster attack, this fast breaking forward and captain was a threat throughout the tournament. The remainder of the starting team of SCAC girls tournament ehamps-are Barbara Satterwhito, Betty Hutchinson, forwards, Beulab Robinson, Ruth Adams and Jennie Pelham,. Guards. Congratulations Lancaster Training Girls Basketball Team. . . ^ The second-place Camp Liberty High from Jenkinsville was lead by Captain, Forward and tournament ' scorer 6* 4'* Margaret YdHiorough. This prancing, fighting basketeer easily won the praise of those who saw - her perform. Taking advantage of her height she controlled her backboard and-repeatedly sank baskets with the greatest of ease. Mildred Carter, a seasoned player, was one of the outstanding guards of the tournament; every game was a championship game with her. Others who did their bit for dear old ,CLHS are Susan ? ?? * - miner and Annie Mae Williams, forwards, Ernestine Martin and Clotel Collins, guards. ^jgiMATHER DOWNS JOHNSON In the boys division we saw a Mather Academy team come from behind to defeat the pre-tournament favorites, C. A. Johnson High. C. A. Johnson was the team to beat g$. > m throughout this dribble derby and Mather was right and ready when the time came. Sparking the fine play for t Mather, the tolimament champs, was southpaw Gideon Lewis the smooth Eagle^fiffiPWard. and Roland Anderson, pf.V the tallest player in the conference. Coach Eddie McGrit had the Eagles keyed to just the right pitch to conquer the high riding Johnson Hornets. Perry Palmer, Charles Belton, Dan Dubose, Carter Missouri, Herbert Blessengale, James Page, George Singleton, John . Benson all played greats ball for Mather Academy. Coach Charles Bolden boys 11 just didn't seem to have the punch, after two successive years playing in the finals. The Johnson Hornets were playing without the hustling services of their ace playmaker Herman James; he was in the game most of the time but W you could easisly see that he was not up to par. Ralph Williams, played his usual fine game; so did John James and James Woodward. Leroy Caree, Frank Fitznatrick, Josenhj&' Oliver, Willie Pressley, Edward Samon and Moses Hopkins r rounded out the Johnson squad. H THROUGH THE KNOTHOLE?

Jot Black, the new pitcher who's been given the buildup ihai he*: a Don Nev/ombe, wants it understood that he's not in Newk's class, he's just a guy trying tc making the Dodgers.. 1 The 28 year old righthander drew some sharp compariser between himself and big Don to whom Flocks fans would like so much to see him resemble in more ways than just physique. Said Joe: "I'm not as fast as Don is. I U92d to be, when we were both pitching down in Ven avnula hn* not nrmr He's just bit faster?.and it's that bit that enables you to blow it past the hitters. My curve, however, is a little better than his. He's a polished pitcher and I'm not. He had poi-e out there. That's something that comes with confidence. I hope to get it." If Black only measures up to half of Newcombe?that is win half of Don's 20 games?the r^nrlttorw \\r ill nnn.i.-tor - nui IIIVUJ5C1VV3 right lucky. They l>ought Joe quite cheap from the Baltimore Elite Giants for $11,000 with infielder Junior Gilliam thrown in. Meanwhile he's working hard - ?to?correct his former wiklness and get that confidence. Manag?r Dressen is. teaching Joe to throw a fork ball besides helping him to polish on his changeup. That'll give hipi six pitche,. in all and make him a pretty good threat to the opposition hitters. _ CIAA Appoints Committee On Scholarship BALTIMORE ?
