Marco Polo, by Manuel Komroff;
Julian Messner, Inc, New York,
1882.
AS the title indicates this is an
account of Marco Polo of Venice
and his almost unbelievable expert
ences as a traveller in the Far East
and as an aide to the fabulous
Kublai Kahn. In an interesting
manner, Marco Polo relates the
culture and customs of a great race
whose gates we're closed to the
world soon after the Polo family

FIFTH QUARTER

(The following is a reprint of the
first part of the column SPORTS
MESSENGER from the Athens
Messenger. March ii, 1854 by Jack
Gilbert. The article was entitled,
"Basketball's Goliath slays Young
DaVid".)
Goliath slew David With a
mighty sweep of his arms, the
Giant crushed the little basketball
power from out of the hills of
Southeastern Ohio and with a ruff
file of his main boldly challenged
those who would say there is still
a place for the little fella in the
halls OF the combat.
Charles McAfee. himself bas-
ketball legend, and his AmeS-Berne
team couldn't lick 6-812 Mike Allen
in the class B District finals. The
Greenies could lick New Lexington
st. Aloysius any day of the week
but they couldn't lick Allen.
St. Ala team that has only been
playing high school competition
for nearly five years-will remem-
Der its first district title for years
to come when Allen has graduated
to college basketball and gone.
The little parochial school of on
ly 81 boys should be proud OF that
title, for aside from the respect it
deserves for overcoming great
odds. it beat a fine team and d
fine coach. There was no secret to
it. In the era of Bevo FranciS-the
era of the high scoring giant
firmly coached fundamentals and
sound basketball wisdom have once
again failed to measure up to the
fingertips of the tall player who
has a balcony-Seat perspective OF
his own points being made.
While ii may be Shortcoming of
the sport, 1T is certainly no dis
grace, especially when the big boy
is Mike Allen. Aside from height
he has ability and coordination, He
moves we'll and he is game fight
er. This writer hopes the best for
st. Aloysius. "
=. Take il for what il is worth,
at any rate st. Aloysius is in for
congratulations. The school has
been at the gate of success since 1t
entered its first tournament IN
1850. That year, a team of nine
boys went on the floor for the first
time with the tallest boy reaching
5-1012. Yes, they were scared but
they scared the opposition more,
losing to Vinton school by six
points. The next year they played
to the Semifinals. besting Rutland
CadmuS and losing by eight TO
Shawnee. The next year found
them losing a first round heart
breaker TO title winning Corning
by one point. Last year they we're
dropped in the second game by
Middleport.
ST. Aloysius, a private school of
the Sister of St. Francis, has mil

Marion st. Mary lost IN much the
same fashion to the same team.
Their game was tied $3.50 at the
final gun. Mike Anderson commit
ted his fifth personal with Just
eleven seconds gone IN the fifth
quarter and had to retire. Roger
Michel almost pulled the game out
single-handed from then on, but it
wasn't quite enough. The final was
Wlliamsport 58-St Mary 81. Thus
Williamsport was responsible for
dropping both Marion and Lancas-
ter and both in overtimes.
Newark St. Francis lost out two
weeks ago when they lost another
overtime contest 1904 TO Mt, Gil
cad. Fouls once again hurt as the
Green Wave lost scoring twins
Frank Murphy and Bobby Franks
along with Bill Winters at various
stages of the game. Franks had %,

Dennison st. Mary beat Dellroy
61-55 and then lost to a powerful
Tuscarawas outfit 80-61 last week
to put the Blue Waves away for
the season. Ronny Ross paced the
Waves to their win over Dellroy by
pushing in seven field goals and
seven free throws for 21 points.

Blue Knights Stay In Athens
With Triumph Over Ames-Bern

New Lexington st. Aloysius, the
only diocesan team left in the run
ming for the state championship,
moved into the Athens regional
class B tournament last week with
a stirring 1868 win over Ames-
Bern.
The Blue Knights were sehedul-
ed to begin play yesterday at
Athens. A win of the four team re
gionai tourney could put st. Alloy
sius in the state finals slated for
Mar. 19 and 20 in Cleveland.
With Mike Allen leading the way
New Lexington jumped into a 1917
first quarter lead in the Ames-Bern
game. Allen posted AZ points for
the night TO set new tournament
scoring record. Earlier in the week
Allen had hit for 80 tallies as the
Knights won over Middleport 61-35.
This will mark the first appear
ance of st. AloysiuS in the regional
tournament. The school has been
participating in basketball only
five years.
Other diocesan teams didn't fare
as well last week as Marion st.
Mary, Lancaster 81. Mary, Newark
st. Francis and Dennison st. Mary
dropped out in district action.
Lancaster got the farthest. The
Shamrocks dropped heartbreak-

program. Father Donovan, the
Pastor of st. Rose, has been whole
heartedly behind the program
since its beginning and is mainly
responsible for the fact that it is
existing now.
But regardless of how tall Mike
Allen is, the success of St. AIoysius
this year is due largely to the
faithfulness of the coach, Robert

day to teach him to play. ST. Alloy
