DOVER - Always "hot" for the Tuscarawas County tournaments, the Strasburg Tigers (1-0) (49-10) made a good showing in their victory over the Baltic Eagles (0-1) (16-24) who were playing without the services of one regular, Junior Wallace Hahn, who is ill at his home with the flu.
In the 2nd game of the 19th Tuscarawas County Class B Basketball Tournament, 6-foot 2-inch Sophomore center Carl Yackey, was the mainspring, as the Tigers played a shoot-and-follow game which got them a 10-3 lead at the end of the 1st quarter and then went on to increase it to 22-13 at intermission. By the time the end of the 3rd quarter rolled around, Strasburg had a 10-point lead at 31-21 which killed off any hopes of victory by the Eagles in the early stages of the 4th and final stanza. The game wrapped up with another triumph by the fighting Tigers 43-25.
The Strasburg scoring was evenly divided with Sophomore guard Tom Miller and Junior forward Ken Houtz each getting 12 points and fellow teammate forward Gene Gordon picking up another 10 markers. Yackey made only 4 points, but his height resulted in the Tigers keeping the ball most of the game. Junior guard Bill Lint scored 9 points for Baltic, while Junior center Glenn Regula tossed in 8 and Sophomore forward Paul Huff getting 6 markers.
