Shaw Whitewashes EIyria
57-31: Henderson Shines

ed. Shaw's terrific pace slackened
considerably in the third stanza
when they tailed only seven points
to their opponents ten to hold a
41-31 command at the three-quarter
mark.
The majority of the final period
was spent in providing Henderson
with an opportunity to establish a
new Shaw scoring mark but the
terrific pressure was too much for
the hard-working eager.
Dick Forte also contributed
greatly to the Cardinal cause as
he racked up 16 points to increase
his total output to 143 points for
17.9 average per game. He is far
out in front in the league scoring
derby and leads the varsity squad
in both field goal and foul shot
averages. He holds an amazing
43.8 mark on tries from the field
and sports GIG foul shot average
with % successful throws in "a
free throw attempts.
Henderson's basket barrage in
creased his average to 15.4 points
per game and both he and Don
Sexton join Fort with shooting
marks above the 1870 mark -
really outstanding work.
The Shaw JV's rang up their
fifth straight victory by toying
with the Elyria JV's, 1929, with
lanky Ed Dietering contributing
% points. The eft. 3-inch junior
had been a member of the varsity
squad since the start of the sea-
son but Coach Roy Wisecup decided
to give him more experience by
playing with the JV's. Accordingly,
Tony Gilberto was promoted to the
varsity squad to make room for
his successor.
Tomorrow nights clash with the
Heights JV's will be real test
since the Tigers are also undefeat-
ed in Lake Erie League competi-
ton.
Giving credit where credit is due,
we would like to point out a SEN
sational shooting accuracy which
Bud Snavely has displayed to date.
A second-team forward on the
Cardinal JV's, Sophomore Snavely
has taken eleven shots in the eight
quarters he has played and con-
nected on eight of them for an
astounding 1877 shot average. He
has also proven to be "dead-eye"
at the foul stripe, sinking all three
of the three throws he has been
awarded

Did You Say ATV Set?
Yes. But 1t Never Came

A Television set which an anony-
nous phone call informed Peggy
Mackin would be delivered to her
home, 16025 Nelaview rd., has not
as yet put in an appearance.
Miss Macklin on January 18th
reported to police that she had
answered a phone call at her home
and the caller told her she had
won TV set, giving the name of
the maker.
Calling the firm mentioned, Miss
Mackin learned they knew nothing
about the winning TV set. Then
Miss Mackin reported the myster-
ious call to the police who stood
by but the set did not arrive. Up
to press time, nothing further had
been heard about it, either.

Sparked by brilliant individual
performance by Dick Henderson,
Shaw's "bountiful basketeers" over
powered a bewildered Elyria cage
team, 57-31, in Lake Erie League
game at Shaw gym last Friday.
"Hendy" split the meshes for 16
field goals and a foul shot for a
remarkable 93-point total to out
score the entire Elyria quintet,
There is some difference of opinion
as to whether Henderson's scoring
splurge equalled a Shaw record
which is reported to have been set
by Jack Shaw against Shaker in
1910.
The official records are not i'm
mediately available but, regardless
of whether or not it did tie the
record, it was still a glorious dis
play of shooting proficiency. The
dark-haired senior forward had
near-perfect range on the mesh
target, especially in the first half
when he Gagged practically every
shot he threw. The shot chart,
which is kept on every Shaw game,
shows that Dick connected on 16
of the 35 shots he took from the
field and several of those misses
were "tantalizers" which circled
the ring and dropped off.
Making 1850 of your shots is
indeed an accomplishment since
$3.50 is the figure which basketball
statisticians accept as average.
Ironically enough, Henderson's
strong point has always been his
uncanny accuracy at the foul line,
vet against Elyria he missed six
of his seven free throws. Just that
week, in practice, he made 26 out
of 80 charity tosses to lead the
entire squad.
The Cardinals had the game well
in hand at the outset when they
Jumped to an lis first quarter
lead and really got moving in the
second period to increase the mar
gin to a commanding 34-13 advan-
tage. Henderson scored 18 of his
points in the first half, most of
them on long shots. Since it was
apparent that "Hendy" was really
"on", his teammates concentrated
on feeding him the ball during the
remainder of the game. The Cardi-
nal zone defense clicked to perfec-
ton as the alert East Clevelanders
kept the Elyria cagers at long
range and either intercepted their
desperate passes or took the re-
bounds when their long shots miss

Water Rate
Boost Up To
Commission

If approved by the City Council
of Cleveland and the City Commits
sion Of East Cleveland the pro-
posed 1850 increase in water
rates will become effective Febru-
ary 18th. The city's water contract
with Cleveland expired August Is,
1850 and renewal had been deferred
pending agreement on a water
rate boost. The new contract would
run to December 31st, 1858.
Mayor Thomas A. Burke of
Cleveland had originally suggested
30.98o increase in rates for
master meter suburbs, of which
East Cleveland is one. His original
increase also called for 1910 in
direct suburbs and 1910 in Cleve-
land. AS worked out and approved
by the committee representing the
Cuyahoga County Mayors Associ-
alton of which East Cleveland City
Manager Chas. A. Carran is the
president, the increases will be
1890, 1850 and 1870.
Mr.. Carran reports that the COM
mittee were unanimous in accept
in the revised scale.
The committee also agreed that
new water contracts should contain
some provision on the question of
sprinkling bans. 1t is likely that
this decision will be left up to the
mayor of Cleveland to make, when
circumstances require such a ban.
Legislation for the new water
rate is expected to be presented to
the Commission at it's next meeting.
