REMEMBER the annual Spring
Concert by Caldwell high school
band this Friday, March 81, at
800 o'clock. Professor Wood
promises another in his series of
fine musical interludeS with the
band in formal attire.
AS THOUGH Caldwell athletic
teams hadn't been kicked around
enough this year, Mother Nature
had to add an extra boot by
blowing down the Booster Clubs
football sign in the courtyard
during Mondays big blow.
Let's hope this isn't an omen Of
things to come.
MILLER CITY, the new class B
basketball champ, is the most
popular winner in the smaller
school division since the incom-
parable Waterloo Wonders be-
came double winners in l934-35.
They likewise became the first
undefeated B champion since
Waterloo did it in 1884. Miller
City finished with 20 in a row
compared to Waterloo's IS. But
shed a tear for Perry county
teams who have been going to
the state joust consistently for
| the past six or eight years. After
| GlenfOrd and Somerset won
state titles, New Lex, Corning,
junction City and the two afore-
named have been up there fight
ing year after year.
OUR PREDICTIONS before the
season opened that the MVL race
would end Philo, New Concord,
Dresden and Glouster was only
partly correct. AS you know
| Glouster moved up into second
with New Concord third and
Dresden fourth. In the Noble
county league we picked only
the winner, Sarahsville. But it
remains for George Reed, for
mer Symmetrical star, to take
honors for calling the shot. Reed
has written to me the past three
years predicting Summerfield to
cop the county tournament and
each time the GopherS came
through.
WE NEGLECTED to credit the
honorable mention players dur
ing the recent independent tour
nament here in Caldwell. These
boys included: Gene Hanes, of
Stellfox EXITS, Bob Melick, of
Dexter City, Joe Thomas, Of
Belle Valley, Herb Christian and
Ed Kish, of Senecaville, and Nc
Peek, of Quaker City. Ben Craft
of the EXITS was selected the
most outstanding player in the
tourney.
DON KILBURN, of Lewisville,
. finished out his senior year in a
blaze of glory with 527 points in
I21 games an average of IS points
per game, according to his
brother, Ralph, of the local MIX
store. He attempted 205 free
| throws, making l05 for a mark
of 81 percent. In the field goal
department., he attempted 512
/ and made I'll for Al percent.
! CROOKSVILLE has joined the
ranks of those schools seeking a
new athletic head, according to
a recent announcement. The
coach, when hired, will replace
Ken Tener who has coached the
Ceramics for two years. He will
take over the duties of assistant
coach plus physical ed and in
dustrial arts. Assistant coach
Bryant will be offered a five.
year teaching contract.
MUSKINGUM COLLEGE has
added another boy to the south.
eastern Ohio coaching ranks
with the announcement that
Ralph Patton, "a, head coach al
Shaw high school in East Cleve-
land since 1916, had been named
head football coach at Marietta
college. Patton was chosen from
a list of 60 applicants to succeed
Paul Glod, who resigned after
three seasons.
