Before that year, there official mythical hon
teams picked in the STAG that possessed ANYTHING re-
semblng element of "modernity".
When Elwood Britt of Florida shot 81 points in four
games in the recent STAG basketball tournament at Tus
kegee he set brand record Fred Williams of Tuske
gee with 54 in 1884 the late Carlos Parker with 81 III
1885, and Frank (Botto) CroZer of Xavier with 81 in
1889 had the highest totals prior to that time
II is interesting to note that all those boys went to the
finals the they tailed their high marks for the tour
namen Hence, it is singular fact that AOnz0 (3abe)
James Florida shot AZ points in two games for team
that did not get past the semfnas That was Florida in
1896 Thus James has the highest tournament average OF
all time-a record of 235 points a game.
~ To James goes credit for the highest number of points
in q single game of the tournament-26 more than
Czer shot against Morehouse in the 1889 finals at Tus
kegee Thomas Hornburger of Tuskegee fell short OF the
mark in this years Taadega when he did manage to
bag 81 points
