DOVER - Tournament Notes:
...The Daily Reporter Trophy was shown to the crowd and announced as the prize for the winner, during halftime of the championship battle.
...J.A. Selzer, Bolivar, manager of the tournament, presented the Strasburg Tigers with the trophy awarded by The Daily Times for the League Championship. The presentation was made to John Heid, center. Mr. Selzer also gave to the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates the banner emblematic of the County Grade Championship. The banner is an award of the County Athletic Association.
...The Reporter Trophy and the B. Toomey Trophy, given to Dale Clark, Gnadenhutten, during the halftime ceremonies, were presented by Hall Jenkins.
...WINS TOOMEY TROPHY - Dale Clark, Gnadenhutten, Saturday afternoon won his 2nd successive county foul shooting championship by tossing in 20 out of 25 throws at Legion Hall. Clark was presented with the beautiful trophy awarded by the S. Toomey Company, Dover motor car dealers. Clark last year won the trophy and the same lad who finished 2nd to him was also 2nd Saturday. Galen Richardson of Baltic, Captain of the team, made good on 17 out of his 25 throws to cop the runner-up position. Clark is not a member of the Gnadenhutten team. His brother is a regular guard.
...The crowd for the final game, while taking up most of the seating space available, did not approach the audience which witnessed the Strasburg - Sugarcreek-Shanesville struggle on Friday night. Tournament officials estimated that 1,550 persons were in the building Friday night and several hundred were turned away.
...Midvale showed cleverness in shooting long ones in the 4th quarter when they were behind. The Blue Devils not only made good on their lengthy heaves, but drew out the Gnadenhutten defense and then slipped under the basket for close attempts.
...The Reporter All-Tournament Team contains 3 Midvale players and 2 Gnadenhutten men on the 1st team, 2 from Strasburg, 2 from Sugarcreek-Shanesville and one from Dundee on the 2nd team. Ten players are given honorable mention.
...Baldwin was by far the outstanding player of the tournament and looked like the most finished performer. The sensational work of P. Stevenson, only a freshman, made it difficult to overlook him. Pizzini was the outstanding guard of the tourney. Perry Ames, consistently a good defensive man, gets the post he earned last year. Homer Kohl, Gnadenhutten center, who was named on the 2nd team last year by The Reporter, finds a place on the 1st team this year because of his brilliant and steady play in every game.
...To Homer Kohl also goes the mythical title of Best Sportsman In The Tournament. He played clean and hard and always had a smile when the game was tough.
...Rooters from Gnadenhutten, who follow their team with great enthusiasm, were confident of another county championship. The reason? Every Gnadenhutten player and booster had an Indian peney in their shoes.
