DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers (6-0) had just too much basketball in them for Dennison's Railroaders at Legion Hall Saturday afternoon as they crushed the down-county outfit under a 29-18 score.
The melee was the hardest and roughest of the entire tournament with a packed house cheering the athletes on, with Strasburg commanding a 9-7 lead at the end of the 1st period and a 13-8 edge at the half. The Tigers had the losers swamped, 18-8 at one point in the 3rd quarter, only to give up 7 straight markers to shorten their lead to 18-15. The quartet ended at 21-17. The winners then lengthened out in the final period, outscoring their adversaries 8-1. The Railroaders were also held to 1 point in the 2nd quarter, while Strasburg was gathering four.
To guards Bud Reiger and Senior Adrian "Fuzz" Miller go the defensive laurels, the former clamping forward Jimmy Cryder of Dennison with only 1 point and the latter putting the bee to Railroader forward Harvey Bridgeman, scoring 4 points against the star's five. Reiger, who retired on fouls in the last period, was high-man runner-up to Junior Bill "Doddle" Haas' 9 points with 8 markers. Twenty-eight personal fouls were called throughout the contest, with Reiger and Zimmerman, Dennison guard, being banished.
