This Mineral City 1928 cage five has had hard times this season, but will be ready for action in the tourney this Saturday. Team members are: Lathy, Maurer, Williams, Duerr, Wagner, Eyster, Mathey, Hothem, Gordon, Markley, Calvin Birk, Elmer Harris, Oswald, Ladham, Brick and Head Coach W.E. Laws.
THEY STAR FOR MINERAL CITY - Calvin Birk, guard and Elmer Harris forward, carry the brunt of the burden at Mineral City five this season.
MINERAL CITY - The Laws coached combine will have a hard time at the county tournament next Saturday...team won 2 games in 8 starts in county loop. Although they won only 2 games in the county Class B League this season, Mineral City High School coached by W.E.Laws, former Mount Union athlete, has offered some stiff opposition to most of the teams in the Class B circuit and when the 10 county Class B aggregations gather at Junior High Gymnasium in New Philadelphia next Friday and Saturday for the Annual Class B Tournament, Mineral City will be found playing one of the toughest in the county in the opening round.
They were paired last Saturday with a Class B aggregation with the likes of Gnadenhutten High School who is likely to make things hot at tourney time for every team there. Head Coach Laws has two stars in Elmer Harris, forward and Calvin Birk, guard, that he depends a lot on to bring home the Mineral City bacon. Harris, a fast elusive forward is a good scorer and is a hard man to watch. Birk plays a stelar defensive game and does his share of the Mineral City scoring.
