Oak Harbor Reserves Turn Tables
By Defeating Elrnore Juniors s. To "a

Three successive clutch baskets
I by Elmore's Chuck Roepke in the
last two minutes and half of play
clinched victory for the Bulldogs
over Genoa in the championship
game of the County Tournament
at the Port Clinton High School
auditorium Saturday night. The
final score was 49-45 in favor of an
Elmore team that saw a first half
26-18 lead and third quarter 81
81 lead dwindle gradually in the
fourth period under the terrific
| one man scoring assault of the
Momets' Fred Diekman.
Diekman, who dunked 80 tai
lies before the evening was over,
splashed for IS of his grand total
in those closing hectic eight min
utes. The big blonde junior
couldn't be stopped as he bunnied
one layup after another on under
hand pivotS from the right or left.
He finally put his team out front
for the first time in the contest
1884 with five minutes still to be
ticked off by the Scoreboard clock.
The Comets carried two-point
margin, 1897, with three minutes
left. Then Elmore's Coach Jim
! Smith switched his otfense to
function around a double pivot
| composed of Ken Kontak, who had
been in the slot all along, and
for the first time in the game
Chuck Roepke, who had been
stationed outside. Roepke proved
to be right at home as he dazed
the Genoa defense with two jump
/ pivots and tip-in to put Elmore
in front permanently 43-39. 1t
was Elmore's 14th tournament ti-
tie in the Is year history of the
classic Genoa last won in 1888.
Thus the singlar heroic offensive
effort by Diekman was over
| shadoWed in the final tabulation
by the one-tWo punch of Roepke

J gether garnered 35 points by way

DULL PERFORMANCE ENDS WITH
II POINT MARGIN FOR REDMEN

An ,uninspired Redskin cage
team took a 17-point defeat from
the Bellevue Redmen in the latter
city last Friday, losing the final
game of the regular season SIS
to 38.
The main feature of the night
was Port Clinton'S Reserve teams
victory of 46 to % over the Belle
vue Reserves. This was all the
more surprising in the light OF
the fact that when the Reserves
last met Bellevue, Port Clinton
was scuttled by a 48-40 score. The
home team was tagging 46 to -
at halftime. Dave Cookie Miller
was high man, scoring II points
In the main go Bellevue grab
bed 20-8 advantage at the out
set which set the pace for the
Redmen varsity's deluge of bask-
cts. The game had dragging per
iods and was loose in defensive
on both sides. Port Clinton, how
ever, gained slight edge in the
second period, holding the score
8 to 3. The Redskins were wide
open in the third quarter which
stood them IL to u, but they
tightened up again in the fourth
for a 10 to IL score.
Guard Ted Selgo, with his usual
consistency, tailed eight buckets.

Fishing Betternent
Bill Well Received

COLUMBUS-Ohio's long range
plans and thinking on the use of
the Dingell-Johnson Bill funds for
the betterment of fishing in the
Buckeye state, were well receiv-
ed by the Federal Aid authorities
at the recent meeting of the
Northeast u. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service at Boston, Mass.
Lee Roach, assistant chief of the
Ohio Division of Wildlife, and
John Pelton, assistant fish manage
ment chief, who attended the
meeting, report that Ohio's lake
construction, stream improvement
and research projects as proposed
by them were generally approved
by the conference members.
Roach pointed out however, that
Ohio's share of the Dingell-John-
son funds have not yet been de-
termined, and that any program
instigated in the Buckeye state
with the federal funds will be de
termined by the amount the state
will receive.
1T might well be pointed out
to Ohio fishermen" Roach said,
that if the stream improvement
program is decided upon, it will
be long range program with
emphasis on soil conservation, and
that in view of this would not nee
essarily reflect immediate results
in improved fishing"
