DOVER - The Bolivar Cardinals (0-1) (10-6) lost a rough battle to the tough Strasburg Tigers (1-0) (18-4) in the 1st game of the evening sessions. The 11 point victory is no indication of the direction of the struggle for the Cardinals had the game won until nearly the end of the game with only 6 minutes to go. The tournament champs of last year flashed a brilliant attack at the start as they jumped away to a commanding lead of 17-7. Then came the 2nd quarter when the Tigers cut it down to 19-16 at the half. At the 3rd quarter Bolivar was still leading 24-23. Shortly after the opening of the final period, #5 Junior John Heid sank 2 goals in rapid succession from under the bucket to give the ultimate winners a 25-24 lead. The 1st time they had been out in front during the fracas. The crowd went wild as Strasburg proceeded to sink basket after basket over the heads of the demoralized Cardinal defense.
Senior forward Fred Mears, #7 and center John Heid were the stars for Strasburg as the former hit for 7 baskets and 2 fouls for 16 points passing Gnaden's Riley when he hit 15 points in his game against Tuscarawas and had held the tournament's high game for 1930. Heid chalked up 10 points by hitting 5 goals. Haueter, #4 forward, #2 center Kries and #7 guard Dayton all had 6 points each for the Cardinals.
