AMPAICN
Trumpets Sounded

Politicians cleared their threats
as with the sound of trumpets, and
the ls48 presidential election cam
paign swept into motion.
The first skirmish between Demo
Gratis and Republicans featured
President Truman and Harold E.
Stassen. who carried the word OF
their respective parties into the
great industrial area around De-
troit.
THAT INDICATED that, for the
time being at least, the pivotal fac
tor directing the policies OF both
COP and Democratic campaigns
would be the labor vote.
To win the election this Novem-
Der MI. Truman probably will need
the same proportionate amount OF
the labor vote that turned out in
favor of Roosevelt in the 1892, 1885
and 1910 campaigns. Whether he
will get it is very much open to
QuGStlOu db Il1S Shd6Cs
Truman
Launching his battle for re-elec-
ton in the Detroit area over the
Labor Day weekend, President
Truman fired at will.
AT GRAND RAPIDS, Lansing,
Detroit, Pontiac and Flint he ex-
horted all the little people" of the
U. S. to register and vote in the
November 2 election.
If a heavy vote turns out, he in
sisted, not only will he be reelected,
but the Republican majority in con-
gress will be replaced by a Demo-
cratic one.
"IF YOU STAY home next No
vember and keep these reaction
aries in power, you will deserve
every blow you get and you can
expect a barrage Of body blows"
said Mr.. Truman. This was a repeti-
ton of an idea-that you'll get
what you deserve"-which he had
expressed earlier in the year and
which, at the time, was received
with some animosity by the people
to whom he addressed it.
You can elect a r%eactionary ad-
ministration and 60 into an era of
fear, or you can elect a congress
and an administration that stand
ready to play fair with every elem
ent of American life and enter an
era of new hope. We're in a hard,
tough fight against shrewd, rich op-
ponents. They don't count on your
vote; they just don't want you to
vote"
Judging from his Labor Day
speeches, President Truman is
planning to shape his campaign
around these contentious:
l.. THAT THE MAIN issue boils
down to Republican special privi-
leges as against Democratic con-
Germ for the little man.
2. THAT THE "DO-NOTHING
Both congress. under COP control,
has done nothing to justify its re-
election.
3. THAT ANYTHING EXCEPT
an about vote by labor on election
day would be a betrayal by Ia
Dor of its own interests"
4. THAT IF THE MASS of the
nations voters go to the polls on
election day a Democratic victory
is assured.
StaSSen
Just a step and a half behind Mr..
Truman came Harold E. Stassen,
striving valiantly to scatter the
Goals of the bonfire the President
had kindled in Detroit.
Apparently blessed by Thomas E.
Dewey, COP presidential candidate,
Stassen's speech in the motor city
was billed as the official kickoff OF
the Republican campaign.

THURSDAY (SEMI-FINALS)

Summerfield gained the finals of
the tournament after downing a
stubborn Harriettsville team 1927
in one of Thursdays semi final con-
tests. Batesville moved into the final
round with an easy win over the
scrappy Sarahsville quint 3715.
Harriettsville and Summerfield
played a full minute and half be-
fore either team attempted a field
goal, Ayers of the Elks missing the
attempt. Hanes converted a free
throw to give the Gophers 10 lead
just before Osborne uncorked side
shot that swished throught the nets
making it 80. This was Summer
fields first shot attempt and came
after three minutes of playing time
had elapsed.
Smithberger tailed a fielder for
the Elks to pull up to 30, but Cutler
slipped in two goals and Osborne
added another to move the Gophers
out in front 90 at the quarter.
Harriettsville employed deliber-
ate attack, coming down court slow
ly and attempting to work the ball
in, while Summerfield speeded up
their offense using the fast break
to considerable advantage. With
Smithberger leading the way, the
Elks outscored the Golden Gophers
in the second quarter but failed to
knot the count. They pulled up to
within three points 1913 on Singers
field goal with one minute left in
the first half, when Osborne scored
again from the field to run the count
1913 at intermission.
The third quarter saw the Big
Green trail by only few points on
several occasions, however Summer
field pulled away to an eight-point
lead going into the final period.
Cutler tailed seven points in the
fourth, more than Harriettsville'
entire last quarter production, as the
Gophers seWed up the game. The
Elks were limited to only a pair of
free throws, until Smithberger
flipped in two fielders in the last
half minute. Guiler'S 16 points were
tops for the evening, while Smith
berger recorded IA and Gene OS-
borne II.
In the other semi-final game, Sar-
| ahsVille's scrappy Red Devils put up
a good fight but lacked the neces-
sary scoring punch to keep up with
Batesville's Beavers and were
dropped 37-15.
Captain Speed Hannahs tailed
the first points of the game to give
Sarahsville their only lead of the
game 20, but the Beavers found the
range to pull ahead 70 at the quar-
ter post. 1t was midway in the sec
ond period before the Red Devils
got another point on Hopp's free
| throw
Both teams substituted freely dur
ing the game as Carpenter scored
| Is points for the winners, while
| Weston with seven led the losers.

Summerfield's Golden Gophers
lived up to predictions Saturday
night by turning back the Batesvllle
Beavers 1925 in the finals of the
Noble county tournament. The win.
ners in notching their goth win OF
the season, are Noble county's only
undefeated team and one of the few
in the state.
Batesville put up a stubborn fight
during the first half, leading 5-4 at
the quarter and on top 9-8 at half
time A brilliant second half rally,
spanked by Cutler with l8 points,
led the Gophers to comfortable
win.
Gene Osborne opened the scoring
with a field goal but three minutes
later Roger Long knotted the count
with long shot, then added a free
throw to give Batesville the lead
80. With three minutes left IN the
quarter Carpenter connected from
the field, but Cutler tossed in a re-
bound making it 5-4 in favor of the
Beavers as the quarter ended.
The second period saw only eight
points scored as Powell registered a
free throw and field goal while Il.
Long made good a charity toss to
run the score to "a. At this point,
Osborne hit the hoops for two
buckets to bring the GopherS up to
80 at halftime.
Summerfield opened up in the
second half as Cutler batted In a
rebound to send the Gophers ahead
1919. D. Long tied it up with a free
three before Hanes made good a
charity toss making it lilo and
Batesville never got back in the
game.
The Beavers trailed 22-15 to enter
the last quarter, and seemed com
pletely off-stride as Summerfleld
pulled away to a 14-point victory.
Cutler racked up 20 points, getting
18 in the second half, followed by
Osborne with 13. Carpenter pace1
the losers with seven.
The consolation game between
Harriettsville and Belle Valley
proved to be the most closely con-
tested of the tournament, and the
only game to 60 overtime. The Elks
took the game 22-2l, by virtue OF
Bakers free throw after having de-
feated the Riders 24-14 on the open
ing night.
Belle Valley enjoyed a slim 32
lead at the first quarter, but Har-
riettsville moved ahead 81 at half
time and 17-14 at the three quarter
post. Teh Elks could manage only
a pair of free throws in the last
quarter as the Riders knotted the
score to send the game into over
time.
With two minutes to 60, DeVollc
looped in a field goal to tie the
the score 1918. Forshey converted {
free throw to send Harriettsville in
to the lead 1918 and half minute

Sectional Tournament
Now Underway At
WOOdsfield Gymnasium

Drawings for the sectional tourn-
ament at Woodsfield were held last
Sunday afternoon with Caldwell and
Clarington drawing the opening
game of the joust on Tuesday night.
Summerfield drew New Matamoras
ON Wednesday, while Harriettsville
drew into a Thursday night bye.
The tournament runs five nights
this year with only two games each
night, beginning at 7:15.
Four teams were seeded including
all three exempted village schools,
Woodsfield, Caldwell and Belpre,
along with New Matamoras. Other
teams were then drawn accordingly.
Tuesday night games are Caldwell
VS.. Clarington, and Belpre VS.. New
port. Wednesday, Summerfield VS..
Matamoras and Woodsfield VS..
Waterford. Thursday, Sardis VS..
winner of Caldwell Clarington
game, and Harriettsville VS.. winner
of Belpre- game. Semi
finals are set for Friday night with
finals and consolation finals Satur-
day evening.
Caldwell, just as last year, enters
the sectional with the poorest record
of the ten teams, winning ten games
and losing seven. The Redskins also
have one of the two '1ong rows to
hoe'', finding it necessary to win
three games before reaching the
finals. Clarington, Caldwells open
ing round opponent, has the most
wins of any team represented with
81, twice as many as the Redskins,
while the River Rats dropped six
games.
Summerfield boasts the best pre-
tourney record 200, but must face
the Washington county champion
New Matamoras with a 1874 record.

COACHES ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM
WEDNESDAY NIGHT

In the first game of the double
elimination, Belle Valley ousted
Dexter City from the tournament
with a 1927 decision after a nip
tuck contest
Pryor started the scoring with a
field goal to put Dexter ahead for
the only time in the game, but Ia
leha made good a free throw and
added a fielder to move the Riders
out front 80, and there they stayed
cent of all shots from the field,
while their pressing defense pre-
vented Dexter from getting off
many set shots.
Don DeVo1ld, held scoreless
against Harriettsville, looped in IA
points on his favorite pivot shot for
scoring honors. Pryor of the Tigers
followed with 10.
In the main game of the evening,
Batesville romped over Forest
Grove with comparative ease 1919.
The Beavers built up 14-0 lead at
the quarter and had no trouble pill
ing in points.
Midway in the second perlod, with
the count 1910, Boney tailed the
first points for the game, but out
classed losers, much to the satisfac-
ton of the crowd Forest Grove out,
scored Batesville 9-8 in the second
quarter and 8-5 in the third to trail
by only 10 points going into the final
period. Batesville, however, hit with
consistency in the fourth quarter to
win by 20 points.
Bob Carpenter tailed IA points
for Batesville, followed by Dick
Powell with II. Dick Nichols led the
spunky Forest Grove team with

R. Long opened the game with
a long shot and Ayers matched
this a few minutes later to tie
the score %. D. Long moved
the Beavers out in front with a
fielder, but Loves free throw and
Forshey's bucket gave the Elks a
5-4 lead at the quarter.
In the second quarter, Belts put
Batesville ahead for the last time
with field goal 6-5, before Har-
riettsville went wild. With Ayers
scoring eight points, the Elks made
16 counters to hold 21-6 advantage
at halftime, and enough points to
win the game.
Both teams tailed IA points in
the second half, but Batesville never
seriously threatened to close the
gap. Bob Carpenter of the Beavers
saw limited action in the game, after
injuring his leg during the pre- game
warmup. Love and Ayers with IL
and 10 points led the scoring for
Harriettsville, Lucas getting six for
