RUC vs. Ogontz In Tournament Tonite
This Team Did It Before ! ! I
The Pennsylvania Junior College basketball champs were crowned March 5, 1948, when the H.U.O
Rudmanites defeated the York Junior College five for the Keystone State crown.
H.U.C. Courtmen
Jolt Johnstown
In a high-scoring encounter at the
A. D. Thomas School gym, February
-23, the H.U.C. courtmen took Johns
town (Pitt J.C.) into camp to the
tune of 89-84.
Despite an early Hazleton lead,
Johnstown came back to knot the
count during the third canto at 50-50.
Good floorwork by Scambia and time
ly goals by Lefkowitz pulled the
game out of the fire.
Taylor, Milligan, and Hutnyan led
the H.U.C. attack with 27, 25, and 23
points respectively. The entire Johns
town starting five broke into double
figures with Dite leading the way
with 23 points.

Hastings Hitting It
Sparkplug on the Huc'ster's team is versatile high-scoring guard, Zack
Taylor. This twenty-one year old Sophomore was graduated from Hazleton
High School in 1947, where he played on the team for three years. His
proudest moment occurred when he helped stop Williamsport's sixty game
winning streak by holding their ace Wes Myers to five points. When he
came out of High School, he got a job in a factory, drove a milk truck and
he held other odd jobs. Then he decided this wasn't for him, so he got a
job as part time phys. ed. instructor at the Y.M.C.A. He liked this kind of
work, and in a short while he had worked himself up to full-time phys. ed.
director. He enjoys this kind of work and plans to stay in it or else teach
elementary school. He is majoring in art. Zack enjoys playing basketball.
He has played in city leagues, Y.M.C.A. leagues, Sunday School leagues, and
high school and College. He and a group of friends even go to the Poconos
to play basketball. He plans to get on the Penn State team when he goes
to campus. Zack goes to college, plays basketball, and yet he has time to
hold the position of full-time phys. ed. director at the Y.M.C.A.

playoffs open at the Hazleton High
School gym. How about it people;
let's get out there and give the team
our whole hearted support. Hazleton
is host to the tournament this year,
therefore, we should have a large
representation at the games to show
the people from the other participa
ting schools that we support our
team. In the beginning.of the season
there wasn't very much support and
not a great many people attended
the games. But toward the end of
the season the support was much
better.

The five years Mr. Rudman has
coached center basketball, the teams

Association and will compete in the
annual tournament.
