Basketball -9 This year will go down as one long to be remembered in basketball circles in Strasburg. Dedicating our new gym. the finest in this part of the state, we will never again hear that name box car ascribed to Strasburg's playing floor. Starting our season with 3 men back from last year's team which won 13 and lost 8 games, plus a good reserve team, we expected a much better season than last year. The valuable experience gained from last year's play and a better balanced team with a wide open scramble for positions assured us that every fellow must keep on his toes and in good shape to keep a position on the team. It turned out that way, too. Starting with a hard fought 21-16 upset victory over Bolivar's veteran team, we were forced to take one of our defeats from our old rival Sugarcreek on their floor, 22 - 17. Stonecreek was buried 63 - 12. We next moved to Beach City and we more than doubled the score on a good team 38 - 15. Sugarcreek was met and vanquished in one of the most interesting games of the season 30 - 28 after Andrews, their star center, was ejected on fouls in the fourth quarter. We dropped a 22 - 18 decision to Midvale after leading 13 - 8 at the half. Reiger and Haas going out on ff-111' helped Midvale considerably. Port Washington and Dundee were beaten 42 - 22 and 64 - 9 in uninteresting games. Then came Tuscarawas who expected to go places this year and their defeat 33 - 22 due to an almost perfect first quarter from our standpoint of 17 to 1. Newcomerstown's crack team cracked here to the tune of 40 - 18, Mineral City, Baltic and Gnaden were taken in stride 32 - 103 37 - 20: 36 - 25: the last game being hardest as it was the final game of the league standing. Thanks to Bolivar beating Midvale in their final game, the League Championship was ours. Dennison was met and defeated in one of the best games of the season 29 - 28, on their own floor and with their veteran team, 4 men back from the team that went to Columbus, last year, ouite an accomplishment. The tournament this year was expected to be a closely played hard fought battle in almost all games and it certainly lined up to expectations. Strasburg's first game with Gnaden ended in a 41 - 27 win. Bolivar was turned back 30 - 23 and next came the battle royal with Tuscy, the surprise team of the Tournament who beat Midvale and Sugarcreek to meet Strasburg in the finals. Strasburg was glad to hear the gun crack with a one point lead 29 - 28. In the Sectional we played 3 games: Walnutcreek 55 - 25g St. Joseph's 28 - 19 and Tuscarawas again 33 - 29. Going to Dennison Philo was turned back 36 - 33 and then came the heart breaker with Midvale, with a 27 - 26 defeat. In this game Reiger held the high scoring Baumholtz to 7 points, 1 field goal and 5 fouls, while scoring 2 field goals and 3 fouls himself. Nuf Sed-21 wins, 3 losses.

Baseball The fall baseball started with a game at Baltic, September 18, where the Tigers won 5 - 2. The outstanding piece of work of the game was Haswell's fifteen strike outs. On September 22, the Tigers met Tuscarawas at Strasburg and lost 2 - 6. The rest of the games were postponed because of rain, cold weather and snow. The first game of the spring season was played at Bolivar, April 13, where the team won 13 - 4. The Tigers have a fine line up and the rest of the spring season should be very successful.
