Shaw Plays
AT Shaker
Friday Eve
By Bob Coates

Tomorrow night the Shaw High
Cardinals meet the Shaker Red
Raiders on the latter's floor, mark
ing the first Of three consecutive
road games for the Cardinals.
After the Raiders, Shaw meets
Lakewood and Cleveland Heights
away from home.
The change in scheduling occurred
when the State Wrestling finals
were moved to the Rangers gym for
February oath.
Shakers 1-2 record isn't Indicative
of their play. They defeated Cleve-
land Heights 64-63 while losing to
Lakewood 70-6S and Parma 63-52.
Coach Heinlen's strength centers on
Chuck Kahn and Tony Maniaci who
have scored "A and 80 points re-
spectively.
If past records hold true, the
small Shaker gym could provide
high scoring affair.
Last Friday the Cards handed the
Euclid Panthers a stunning 60-49
defeat. The victory, coupled with
Lakewood's 1858 triumph over
Heights left both teams deadlocked
for first place.
An 18 point fourth period was all
the East Clevelanders needed to
capture the hard fought contest. AL
though holding an 1914 advantage
in the first stanza, Euclid managed
to outscore the Cards 1911 in the
second period and to pull within two
points, 1927 at the intermission.
The Panthers continued to press
the Shaw team in the third period
and it was 42-3S Shaw at the
quarter. But the quick pace was too
much for the visitors, as the hard
driving Cards soon left Euclid far
behind. Mike Brophy led the Cards
with eleven points.
The Shaw Jayvees lost their
third straight, 81 so, as Euclid's
Jaycees put on a fourth period
squirt. I
