The Daily Times
New Philadelphia, Ohio
WE HEARD RUMORS at the tournament the other night that Joe LaScola of the Dover St. Joseph Ramblers has, or is about to accept a job in Michigan and leave the Ramblers. No verification yet. It was rather surprising to see such a packed house at Dover's Memorial Hall last night. Many a year we have seen Sectional Tournaments and there were few times the place was jammed. The Hiland Hawks really has a big following. Of course, winning 20 of 22 games helps. There may only be about 10,000 people in Holmes County, but we bet the count was pretty vacant last night.
INCLUDED AMONG THE PEANUT GALLERY last night (press box) at Dover was Head Coach Ralph "Pete" Hilliard of the Midvale Blue Devils. Just in case the Blue Devils cop a District berth he wanted to have a few notes. "Tis better to be ready than sorry you didn't look ahead." Two girls serve as the statisticians for the Hawks of Hiland. And from the performance of one Flyers player last night, he must have created many impressions on the girls...on paper that is...as he really fired away.
We were wondering how that one Hiland player must feel sitting there on the bench. Don't know his name, but with a squad of 12 men it is easy to figure how he must feel a bit out of place. The Hiland Hawks have 11 lettermen.
THE TUSCARAWAS VALLEY TROJANS won the game ball for being Runner-up last night. It was just what they needed. The Hawks got the trophy, just what they wanted...
