TIME OUT
This column went out on a rather
precarious limb at the beginning of
the basketball season and predicted
the greatest season in the history of
the Center. It was. . .the greatest con
sistent losing season the Center has
yet experienced. Nevertheless we must
give credit to the team for the scrappy
battles they put up against stiff op
position. . .and some of those defeats
could just have easily been victories.
Real heartbreakers!
And the Center "MUG” took a
jaunt down to Pottsville for a year’s
stay. Our dope sheet said that the
freight bill would be for a trip to
Dußois. . .the Potters didn’t look that
good on the Hazleton floor. One con
solation: Hazleton came through to
cop third place in the playoffs and
Ogrydziak made the All-Center team
according to the Schuylkill Collegian.
Now that the basketball question
will be tabled until another year, this
columnist turns his thoughts to other
forms of athletic diversion. Rehashing
a few old suggestions: If someone
would only start the celluloid hum
ming over the net we’re sure that a
ping-pong tournament would go over
big. . .thinking along that line it is
entirely within reason that a playoff
could be arranged between Potsville
and Hazleton. And if the spark should
suddenly burst into flaming activity
there is good reason that a tennis
court could be made out of the rock
pile in our back yard. Softball caught
on last year and has much to merit
its reappearance this spring; the crowd
is larger, equipment is inexpensive and
placed on an intra-mural basis can be
a lot of fun. Golf is offered at the
country club but that is out of our
field entirely.
A little athletic interest would not
be amiss this spring. The popular con
ception that all interest in school
sports must wane after the basketball
season, has been too prevalent in the
local Center for the past two years.
With the large enrollment of this
semester there is no reason why enough
sports interest cannot be aroused to
increase our interest in the Center and
keep our spirit of competition alive
without placing added strain upon the
student budget. Any suggestions?
Cagers Lose Eight;
Win Single Game
This year’s basketball five wound
up the season at Pottsville by taking
third place in the annual Center Tour
nament. But in its regular league com-
petition the Center quintet dropped
eight out of nine games. Their single
victory was over a highly touted
Hazleton McCann’s Business five. In
the totals of the Hazleton scorebook,
exclusive of the tournament games,
the local Center racked up 272 points
as compared with 381 for their op
ponents.
Bartol, varsity forward, garnered
local honors by scoring 64 points
throughout the season with Clete
Dougherty in second scoring rank
with 4 6 points to his credit.
In any single game Bartol again
came through as high scorer with 19
points racked up against M. & M. 1.,
his former Alma Mater. Pangonis of
Mahanoy City McCann’s holds honors
in the opposition with a total of 18
counters scored against State in a
single game. Gliem, of Hazleton Mc-
Cann’s; Mohney, of Dußois State; and
Ricotta of Freeland M. & M. I. are
all second with 15 points scored
against the locals in a single game.
The team did far more traveling in
the season just ended than it has done
in former years, going to Dußois and
Uniontown for inter-sectional games
and then to Pottsville for the annual
tournament. The Collegiate League
itself was disrupted by the withdrawal
of Hazleton McCann’s and the Potts
ville Ford School of Business. Although
the games were played as scheduled
they had no bearing on the standing
of the teams in the loop.
