Mark Morris
Adds Two More
Swim Records
By Ken HOugland

Mark Morris is now the holder
of two more swimming records.
Shaw lost to Heights 81 to "a
last Friday, but in the locker room
after the meet all the Shaw boys
were still happy. Mark had broken
the pool records in the 200 yard
freestyle and the 120 yard indi-
vidual medly. The individual med
ly was a thrilling event. Mark
was losing until the last half lap
when he pulled ahead of Dick
Schwarton Of Heights and won by
fingernail. They both broke the
pool record with the better time
being 1917. Mark also knocked
nearly 13 seconds of the pool
record for the 200 yard freestyle.
His time was 2:06.6 which also
topped his own best time of 2:08.
Sandy McOmber of Heights who
had set the record of 2:19.2 earlier
in the season came in second.
Bill Gaines took Shaw's only
other first in the 100 yard breast
stroke. Bill wasn't expected to win,
but as Coach DOC" Vivian told
him afterwards, it was his hard
work in swimming laps that did it.
Shaw was still without the serv-
ices of its best diver, Gene Reeser
who is still ineligible because of
grades.
The Cardinal Tankers took two
second places and three thirds.
Chuck Uber took a second in the
100 yard backstroke. In the 100
yard freestyle, Phil Hamilton took
second in another close race.
Shaw's record for the season
now stands as one victory against
two defeats. Both of her defeats
have been in the Lake Erie League,
which makes her standings there
no wins and two defeats. The
meet with Lakewood was lost so
to 25 and the one victory was over
st. Ignatius 65 to 9.

Class F Cagers Off
On Second Round

The East Cleveland Glass F
Basketball League enters it's second
week of play this Saturday at
Shaw Gym with three games
scheduled. The Kramer Cubs, who
dropped a one-point decision in
their debut last week, will be try
ing for their first victory when
they face the Wittenmeyer Wolves
at $3.50 p. m. The Wolves have
been strengthened by the addition
of Dean Louis, Jerry Rundt and
Chet Kelley and will also be in
quest of their initial win after
taking a drubbing from the Bears
last Saturday.
The second game, which starts
at $3.50, will feature the Horton
Hawks and the strong Sexton
Sharks. The latter club established
itself as the team to beat as they
showed good all-around strength
in edging the Cubs, 20-19, in their
first start of the season. The
Hawks have acquired the services
of Bob Fish and Jim Simonis since
their unsuccessful debut and will
be tough to beat after Coach Ken
Horton gets them Strengthened
around.
Saturdays final contest will
bring together the Lawrence Lions
and the Barry Bears, both of whom
won their opening games. Coach
Don Barry has two standout per-
formers in Frank Massaro and
Jimmy Marinelli, while his rival
tutor George Lawrence, boasts
potent trio in Dick Schuckers, Joe
Sas and Bob Verbelia. This clash
is slated to get underway at 4:30.
The Lions and Hawks pried the
lid off the Class F League season
last Saturday with the Lions roar
ing to 27-11 decision. Lawrence's
hoopsters led all the way with
Right Forward Bob Verbelia set
ting the scoring pace with ten
points. The Barry Bears showed
themselves to be a small but scrap
py quintet in blasting the Witten-
meyer Wolves, 1876, with Frank
Massaro racking up IL points.
The third game on the opening
card proved to be the most closely
contested with the Sexton Sharks
squeezing past the well-balanced |
Kramer Cubs, 20-19. The Sharks
got off to a fast start as they
assumed 1912 lead at the end
of the first quarter but the Cubs
ctawed back to shrink the margin
to 1913 halftime count. Kramer's
cagers came back strong in the
third period, to outscore and out
play their more experienced op-
ponents and take a 1912 advan-
tage as the final stanza opened
but last-quarter surge turned the
tide for the Sharks. "Irish" Barber |
led the attack for the victors by
tallying 9 markers but scoring
honors for the afternoon went to
Spencer Hedrick, 5-ft. Tin. Cub
forward, who registered 13 points. |
