HUCSTERS SLAM SUSQUEHANNA By Norhy Turnbach
Displaying the form that qualified the Hazleton Center Basket - ball team for
PefinsYlVarrtm - 04111ar,College Basketball Conference championship, Zack Taylor's
Terrors hammered the SU!alethanne Crusaders before 2,200 noisy fans Monday night -
.54 to 56 0
The Eastern College Athletics Conference ruling that barred Frank Romano an.
Dwight Huseman from playing would no doubt have changed the rule of battle,
no one seemed to realize or mention that a certain Stater was out of action for t,
game, also* The Stater I'm Filfer3;ing to is fiJohnstown ll Jack Plochin, Jack wa
one of Zack Taylor's most consistent and versatile players all year and definitel
a reason we tied for the co-championship, The Hazleton Lions could have acted in
fl good faith o and could have given Jack the honor of announcing that becaUse of
an injury in the York, Championship game he would be unable to participate. Inste.
they harped on the two Susquehanna stars and asked if anyone wanted their tickets
redeemed. Three fans took that opportunity* Amano and Huseman may, after being
presented befor 2,200 fans, received their ovation; but this reporter would like
to give Jack Polchin, who definitely would have made up the dj. - Pference the two
Susquehanna aces would have tie, the ovation and credit he so well deserves,

THE BONUS
MOUNTAINEERS WIN UREA. M GAME
In the feature event of the evening, Coach Tony Romano's Mountaineers eked
out a 60-55 win over the Anthracite charges of Coach Bob McGeehan, mans tutor.
Many fans seemed to forget that the participants in this game were only high
school boys and the hissing and booing that resulted was certainly not called
for and they . deserved better than that. Demonstrations of that kind can tbrar:
