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. Gol'u<?

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.

Joe Black Says
No Newcomb But
Hopes To Make
Doners Team
Hopes To Make Dodgers
Vro Bath, Fla. (CNS) ? 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. _
