GYM TOURNAMENT climbed over the Fennels, 37-30. The Richeys eliminated the Lillestons, 34-32. In the winners bracket the Winscotts dropped the Valellys from the cham- pionship flight by beating them 33-25. In the last game of the semifinals the Weavers won the right to meet the Winscotts for the championship as they won over the Eldridges by a 22-19 count, the lowest scoring game in the tournament. The championship, third place, and consolation games were played before a nice crowd, and they were all three very close games. At seven o'clock the Kelleys and the Richeys met for their second time in this tournament, and his- tory repeated itself almost to a UT. Again the Richeys won, and again they won by only one point as they had done in the first round. Captain Bill Richey dropped fourteen points to pace all scoring. Clark, of the losers, tallied nine. The third place game was the least close of the three. However, the 42-34 win by the Eldridges does not give a true indication of the closeness of the game. Halftime score was 20-18 in fa- vor of the ultimate Winners. The third quarter turned out to be the bad luck period for Valellys as they managed to score but 2 points then. During that same time, however, the Eldridges dropped ten points and were able to stave off a last period rally even though they were outscored in that period. Cap- tain Bobby Eldridge scored sixteen points, but he was very closely followed by his team mate, Johnny Atterbury, who sank fourteen himself. Star of the game though, was little John Jacoby of the losers as he netted sixteen points to vie for honors with Eldridge. He also played a very good defensive game. Frequently he was literally in the hair of his opponents, stealing the ball, blocking their shots and intercepting passes. Jacoby was not at all awed by the presence of the older and larger college boys, The championship game was a rip snorter all the way. Action was always fast and furious, and at -the half the Winscotts had swatted out a 20-9 lead. However, this was never about to be enough to win this game. The lead changed over to the Weavers near the end of the third period, and they held it almost down to the wire. Hard luck figured greatly in their losing. With the score at 31-29 in favor of the Wea- vers, and with scarcely three minutes to play, Captain Weaver fouled out. Shortly afterwards Lyons, another Weaver man, followed him to the side- lines. This 'left the Weavers sadly un- dermanned, and the finish '-was more or less an anti-climax as the Winscotts were able to score five points in the remaining time. Special recognition, if any of the players were deserving of it, should be made of Willy Lyons of the losing team for his all-around good play. Besides scoring fifteen points, his defensive play was a deciding factor in the im- proved play of the Weavers the last half. At halftime he shifted to guard Winscott, who had scored sixteen points in the first half, and held him to a bare field goal and a free shot in the last half. That this rankled the Winscotts at times was evident as they would try to shake their captain lose with pure force, but to no avail. All credit should be given to Captain Winscott and his team for winning this tournament, how- ever, because time has proven that it takes more than just breaks to win a ball game. Top ten scorers in the tournament were: Winscott, 56 points in three games, Lilleston, 68 points in four games: Eldridge, 56 points in four games, Vader, 41 points in three games, Maupin, 24 points in two games, Jacoby, 35 points in three games, Atterbury, 44 points in four games, Fleming 55 points in five games, Richey, 54 points in five games, and Weaver, 31 points in three games.
