MT. PLEASANT IS
STATE CHAMPION
DEFEATS IOWA CITY FOR TITLE
SATURDAY NIGHT BY II
TO IS SCORE

Mt. Pleasant High school dupli-
Gated her sensational whirlwind finish
of last season against Iowa City Sat-
urday and won 16 to II, retaining the
Iowa state high school basketball
, championship. The Iowa City quin-
tet captured the first half of the score
Of 9 to 3 and local stock went up only
to tumble in the last few minutes Of
play. in the second half Mt. Pleasant
came back remarkably strong and i'm
proved every minute.
Ottumwa, while out of the contest
insofar as having any team in 1t, is
quite interested because an Ottumwan
coached the state champions. Henry
Wormhoudt for the past three weeks
has had charge Of the Mt. Pleasant
quintet and that he was effective with
the lads, Is borne out II the results Of
the tournament. The champs are now
planning trip to Indianapolis to par
ticipate in an interstate contest and
Wormhoudt will go with the Hawkeye
leaders.
In the final minutes of the game
Harshberger, star OF the battle, made
three long spectacular shots his final
basket coming with forty seconds to
play, breaking tie and winning the
championship.
Green also played a fine game for
the winners, these two men changing
defeat into victory a half dozen times
during the battle.
Stromberg was the only man re-
jected because of four personal fouls.
Shimek, Darner and Kloss were stel-
Ter performers for the Little Haw-
keys Cedar Rapids scampered away
from Ellsworth in the contest for,
third place in the state race, 81 to Is.
