7 i Moorhead, Rudolph, and Gallagher pose for the Cameraman AKRON KENMORE The Jungle Cats, in dropping a closely fought battle to a sharp-shooting Akron Kenmore combine ruined their record of having won their fist game for 'five years straight. Loose guarding was responsible for the defeat. Freddy Lewis, a veteran, scored half of the team's total points. lt was a nip and tuck affair but unfortunately, the locals came out on the short end of the count, which was twenty-two to twenty. COLUMBUS SOUTH The Bengals scored their first victory of the season over an over-confident Columbus South quin- tet in a close decision 23 to 21. Big Elmer Dials, with eight points, paced the Cat team to its initial win. SHELBY The local court cavorteers, eager to show their offensive strength after two close games, collected thirty points while holding the Bordertown athletes to thirteen. Lewis and Scott made eight points apiece to lead the Tygers in scoring. CANTON McKINLEY The locals lost their second game of the year to a taller Canton McKinley outfit 24 to 17. Freddy Lewis, playing his next to last game with dear old M. H. S. was a brilliant defensive star, but his work was for naught as the Bengal offense bogged down. ERIE EAST The Tyger fans had their first look at an out-of-state club, when Mansfield played Erie East. However, they were not impressed by the brand of ball that the visitors displayed, as the Bengals downed the Pennsylvania quintet 30 to 24. Lyons, diminutive Mansfield guard, was outstanding in the victory. He made seven points. PARMA Another game, another thriller, this time with Parma. The score was practically tied through- out, but the Tygers came through in the pinch. Jack Dugger, starting his first game at a forward post, accumulated nine points while Scott collected six as did Hallabrin and Lyons. The final score, 32 to 30. ASHLAND Running into tougher opposition than expected, the Bengals had to be contented with a near tie score through three quarters of the Ashland fray. Then the Cats started hitting on all cylinders, and rolled up an unsurmountable lead. The score board flashed a 34 to 25 victory for the local combine. SHELBY The Mansfield Tygers met the Shelby Whippets on the local hard wood January 15. As soon as the whistle sounded, the Tygers were away on a scoring spree which topped all records in recent years. When the final bell clanged, the score board showed that the localites had accumulated a total of 51 points while holding the Bordertown athletes to a meager 15. Every man on the Tyger squad saw some service and there were only two who failed to score. Shelley and Dials were high point men with 10 and 9 markers respectively while Jack Lyons was a tower of strength on the defense. So tight was the defense that the Whippets made -only three buckets from the field. SANDUSKY Finding trouble with glass backboards and different baskets, our Tygers were defeated by San- dusky 32 to 24. Since Mansfield renewed relations with the Blue Streaks, they have as yet to come out ahead. The Bengals piled up an early lead, and they led at the first quarter 14 to 6. However, this
