DOVER - In the curtain raiser of the Northeastern Sectional Tournament, Head Coach John Harmon's powerful Dennison Railroaders (14-7) crew held the Tuscarawas Broncos (4-2) (12-13) to but 20 points in 3 quarters of play, while racking up 41 markers for themselves. Dennison's rangy quintet...and a high-percentage team from the field...threw up a zone defense that kept the Broncos at bay most of the route. Even Tusky's sensational jump shot artist, Sophomore center Harry Thompson, was bottled most of the game. But, he came through with 10 hard-earned points, scoring all of the Colts 5 markers in the opening round 17-5. Junior forward Don Tharp paced Tuscarawas by netting 11 points after hitting only a free throw in the 1st half.
Senior center Dick Polen and Junior guard Del Bente led the Railroaders with 12 points each, but 3 of the Trainmen finished the tilt with 9 markers apiece. They were Sophomore forward Dave O'Hara, Junior forward Ed Wagstaff and guard Jim Campasi, usually one of the top Dennison point makers who went to the showers with 5 personal fouls. Polen; however, was able to score only 2 free throws in the 1st half as the Tuscarawas 2-3 zone kept him stymied.
