Findlay Cagers Bag
3rd Undisputed Title

This season marked the third time
since the Buckeye league was formed
in 1885 that Findlay high school has
come through with an undisputed
basketball championship. Once, in
1889, the Trojans shared the honors
with Sandusky which later withdrew
from the loop. Coach Carl Bach
mans teams have finished in the
runnerup spot five times. Only IN
1912 was Findlay out of the run
ming, winding up fourth.
Findlay's first undisputed title
came in 1887 when the Trojans went
through the league schedule unde-
feated. They dropped only one game
in winning last year and the same
club came back this season to sweep
through with clean record.
