DOVER - Three Tuscarawas County basketball teams...seeking places in the District Tournament at Dennison next week...will swing into action tonight at Legion Hall in the 5-game opening of the Class B Sectional cage tournament. Unless disqualified late today the Dundee Bulldogs will meet the Adena Warriors of Jefferson County in the opening game at 6PM. The Bulldogs, runner-up to the Strasburg Tigers in the county tournament, is accused of using an ineligible player and today Andrew Beachy, Principal of the school, made a personal visit to Columbus to interview State Commissioner H.R. Townsend who will decide whether the team may continue. In the event Townsend rules the team out, he will also name its successor which will either be the Midvale Blue Devils, a semi-finalist, or the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates, runner-up in the Consolation Tournament.
But, tonight's play...Clark of Coshocton County and the Magnolia Cardinals of Carroll County will play at 7PM. The winners of those 2 games will play Friday at 10PM. The Dennison Railroaders, one of the strong contenders, meets Keene of Coshocton County at 8PM tonight. Immediately following will be the Strasburg-Cadiz Cardinals fracas at 9PM. The winners will meet Saturday at 2PM. Thus, one of the Tuscarawas County teams will be eliminated from the 4 to go to Dennison for the District meet. Should the Railroaders and Tigers win their 1st games, the two will meet Saturday in a tilt which would probably be one of the best of the tournament and which would attract the most local interest.
The Millersburg Knights versus the Scio Panthers of Harrison County at 10PM will be the nightcap of the program. Officials will be Ernie Godfrey of Ohio State University and Bille Lange of Muskingum College. Admissions will be 25 and 35 cents for each session.
