nnumumullullteaefllwlluflzll:emuNHS,1lllamllullnllllnemitglllllluuluIlun Third Annual Delaware County Basketball Tournament It has been a custom and one that we all are backing, to have and to hold a tournament in which all the schools of the county may participate, not so gnuch to find out which school has the best team as it is to develop a high type of sportsmanship. The teams are inspired to do their best, however, by two trophies, the first donated by Mr. Gildner, to go to the winner. The second trophy is known as the Manchester High School trophy, and goes to the winner of the consolation series. Friday night, February 25th, ten schools of the county assembled to begin the grind that was to last for the next two days. The first round consisted of games between Oneida and Dundee which was won by the fo1'n1er by a score of 21-15. Colesburg pounced upon the diminutive team from Delaware as a second game of the series, and it is needless to say that the former was victorious by an overwhelming score of 52-2, which tells the story better than words. Round two was a more exciting affair, and was started off by Greeley and Buck C1'eek in which Greeley suffered defeat, but only after a hard battle in which the sco1'e of 25-15 does not figure prominently as a barometer of its nature. Earlville came out on top in their tilt with Delhi, but this game, like the first of the second round, was fast and furious, although it- was marred by the necessity of calling numerous fouls ou both teams. Then came the great game of the tournament from a home town view point. Hopkinton came all the way up here from the south part of the county to administer Manchester a drubbing, and brought along a good sized crowd to witness the humiliation. Strange to say, tables were reversed, and Hopkinton went home early, being eliminated by a score of 12-11. It was a great game in which the Manchester boys played with deathly intent. Colesburg came back on the floor for the final game of this round with Oneida, and succeeded in defeatinglthem by a 24-22 score. Not a bad round. Round l7ll1'68 came Saturday afternoon, being made up of four games, Buck Creek with a dandy team, was pitted against Earlville, and all but defeated them. The game was characterized by two over-time periods, which resulted in Earlville getting two baskets in quick succession, which gave them a score of 13 to their opponents 9. Manchester then appeared against Colesburg, and defeated them by a score of 15-10 after one of the hardest and most cautiously played games of the tourney. Then came the final and last round, which was played before the largest crowd yet assembled for a basketball game on the local floor. The consolation game was between Colesburg and Buck Creek, and resulted in the latter going doawn in defeat. In the finals, Manchester played their level best, and in one of the most nerve racking games of our history, they were defeated by a count of 13-16. The trophies were awarded to Colesburg and Earlville, to be held this year. Happy Wilson of Buck Creek was given the individual medal for sportsmanship and his choice was popular. , - Personnel First Team ATWATER, Everett. Graduation will rob Manchester High School of one of the best athletes turned out by the institution for some time, but not until he has written his name indelibly upon the pages of athletic history. Red took care o-f the center position in fine shape, making it a point to mix in every play of every game. Strange to say, Red never was allowed to sit along the side lines for there was always work he could do. BURLAGE, Leo. Most of us have found it more convenient to call him Buck and some of us have yelled ourselves hoarse cheering him when he was in action. Buck was a great player at the forward position. Although he is not being remembered as a point thrower, yet he was always in every point getting play. Like his colleague Red,,' Buck will pass along by the graduation route, much to the dis- advantage of M. H. S. . KEISER, Hubert. Hubert will retire from high school activities this year, but not without having left a. name for himself. Although he was unable to get a letter, he was one of those fellows that was always out, and who was instrumental in the making of a great team. As a utility man both at football and basketball, Keiser was a- man that could be depended upon. The best wishes of the school go with him, for he bears the name of being a good sportsman. HARRIS, George tCaptainb. Arising from the Sophomore ranks, came no other than Pete Harris, who started his basketball career while yet in the grades. His three years experience and being only a Soph, marks him a man to be looked up to. Pete was one of the fellows in the tournament that made the spectators gasp for breath at his marvelous performances on the fioor. He took care of the guard position and was a constant menace to his opponents, for when he broke thru, he was almost sure of a basket. VAN AUKEN, Floyd. Another Junior made a place for himself on the team, and that was no other than Van. He was hardly ever up in the air, although he was built for basketball. Van played a steady game at center, which position he shared at times with Atwater. When the season was completed, it was to be found that Van Aukeu was one of the fellows that helped turn many a defeat into victory. H BEDDOW, Kenneth. Bill' made a name for himself at football and was hardly inclined to go out for basketball, but in the intramural fracas, he demonstrated his agility along basketball lines. When put into the game, playing at guard, Bill made his man step out and play basketball. An examination of his record shows that he was responsible for the misfire of many an opponent's play. Having found himself, Bill will be one of those upon whom the coach will depend next basketball season. Twenty-fofur
