Entered at the post office at Mount Joy, Penna., as second class mail under the Act of March 3, 1879. - 1969 The Year of the Fish + An Editorial (From page 1) There has been a magical feeling of togetherness which is seldom experienced. Donegal’s Indians played a long, long season, beginning with no license except to wear green uniforms and to run up and down the floor. The difference between the ’68-'69 team and others was that neither the coach nor the boys seemed to know that they were “operating without a license.” They beat around the bush a little, bumbled and dum- bled a little here and there, but by shortly after the turn of the year, they had estab- lished themselves and were becoming a threat. Generally speaking, the Indians were not included. at that point, in the champ- ions’ circle because they were ‘too small.” But, success cannot be measured in pounds or in feet and inches. The intang- ible thing, motivation is not. measurable and that, appar- ently, is the quality which began to take over the reins of destiny sometime in Janu- ary. But, game after game Kee- ner & Company kept produc- ing victories until the entire community and area finally realized that ‘this year is something special.” The McCowin, Tucker, Du- arte, Sload and Sutter combi- nation seemed to be a natur- al, They gave every indica- tion of having fun on the basketbali floor. They even gave the impression that they were “hams”, enjoying the opportunity of entertaining the fans with their unusual little antics. It seemed that there never was a pair of more sober- faced guards than Sutter and Sload. Yet, one gathered the feeling that the dandy pair was enjoying the fun of mak- ing opposition guards reel with their speed and dash— and their flashy scoring punches. Those occasional little fan- cy ‘“‘dance” steps Al Duarte frequently tossed in, prob- ably without his even realiz- ing it, typified the verve which he put into playing basketball. His “ball ‘from’ the corner pocket” became one of the phenomena of ithe season. Stan Tucker! Well, there probably never will be an- other Stan! He not only made a wnlace for himself with the Donegal fans — he even had the opposition fans on his cide. All year long he fought the good fight with an albatross of fouls hanging around his neck. We never saw him commit a malicious one and the season did go long enough for him to prove for all time that he could play without ’em. He has a younger brother, Steve, com- ing along. That lad will have a fancy pair of shoes to fill if he tries to wear Stan's. Then, there's Bobbie Mec- Cowin, not the last, but probably the principal cog in the five-man combo. Dur- ing the early part of the season he was tagged for his high scoring. He became a marked man early for his scoring and played under that difficult handicap the rest of the way. Yet, he continued to be a tremendous scoring threat and scored many an impos- sible basket try. Yet, what is more impor- tant, perhaps, was his “play making” ability. He was a terrific shooter but he also had the ability to set up his teammates. He could feed them when they were ‘hot’, he could see them when they were “open” and he could fake his buddies into a beautiful set-up position for their chances to score. All these are without spec- ial comment on his ability to outjump men many inches taller or about his great com- petitive heart. The latter, if he chooses to use it, can take yim a long long way up the ladder of success. But, of the many ingredi- ents which made the now dismembered Indian team a success, one yet remains. That was the ability and the willingness of the play- ers to listen—yes, listen with an earnestness, and an under- standing and a deep respect and affection—to their coach. No group of school boys can win and continue to win its way to a championship of any kind unless it can listen, understand and comprehend the guidance it is being giv- en. Coach Ken Keener was feeding his boys the food for success. But, they alone were the ones who could hear the message and follow the in- structions. Those are some of the things we find in the post mortem examination — fun, excitement, determination, ability, competitiveness, self- esteem, calmness and dedica- tion. And — these are top- drawer qualities to place in any formula for success, RUMMMAGE SALE The Ladies Auxiliary to the Mount Joy Fire Com- pany. will hold a Rummage Sale at the Mount Joy Fire Hall on Saturday, Mar. 22, starting at 9 a.m. ECCENTRIC OERZIT vereic, one of tiie planet Neptune's two moons, re- volves in a highly eccentric orbit.
