STAGE WIN AGAINST ELKHART ADVANCE TO FINALS
Hartsburg-Emden showed the fans at the tournament that they were a real tournament team by tripping Elkhart in a last second thriller. The Stags played one of the classiest floor games up to that point in the tournament.
At the end of the first quarter H-E led 11-6; at the half-time, 17-6; at the three-quarter mark H-E led 24-21. Late in the fourth quarter Eklhart held their only lead and it took the Stags 3 minutes to make it a 30-30 tie.About this time Dick Gardner made a field goal from an impossible angle to boost the Stags into a 2 point lead. With 50 seconds to play H-E made a free throw good and Williams then connected and made it a 5 points margin. Hanner then made 2 points via free throws in the last 20 seconds to narrow this margin to 3 points.
Williams tallied 15 points; Wagner, 10; B. Gardner, 5; D. Gardner, 2; Lolling, 2.
Hanner tallied 15 points; Hahn, 6; V. Dennison, 7; and, Dee 4 points for the Redbirds.
Coach Finchum figured that if they could hold Hahn and Hanner to a total of 20 points that they could beat Elkhart. Therefore, he put Wagner and Zimmer vs. Hanner; B. Gardner and Williams vs. Hahn. His plan worked.

STAGS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP
[page 3, column 1]
The Stags won the Championship trophy of the Logan County Tournament Saturday night for the second consecutive year.
The Stags played that game that a coach dreams about when they played their top game of the season to date in the Championship tilt of the Logan County Tournament. They defeated a team that had lost but two games in 19 starts and had earlier in the season swamped the Stags.
During the first quarter New Holland scored only 1 field goal for 2 points while the Stags tallied 12. By half time the Wildcats tallied only 2 field goals and 2 free throws while the Stags tallied a total of 20 points, leading 20-6.
During the last half H-E showed a somewhat better game than the Wildcats by scoring 24 points to 21 for the Cats. Going into the fourth quarter the Stags led 31-14 and at the final gun they held that all important margin of 17 points.
H-E hit 18 out of 23 charity tosses while New Holland cashed in on 7 out of 17.
Wagner scored first in the game and accounted for 6 of the H-E's points; 4 via the foul line.
The Stags fed Williams, their 6'1" center, so that he tallied 23 points. He made 3 of his 9 jump shots, one layup, and 4 charity tosses.
Zimmer tallied 2 field baskets and 5 free throws totaling 9.
[page 3, column 2]
Bob Garnder connected with 1 field goal and 2 free throws, 4 points altogether.
The starting five were replaced late in the game by Hoar, Aper, Stuan, Lolling, and Sampen. Hoar tallied 2 points from the foul line.
It was, indeed, an inspired Stag squad that rolled to an impressive 44-27 victory. Its ball handling and control was superb. It would pass around the New Holland zone to pop one through from the corner or got one into Williams for a jump shot.
Berger was high point man for New Holland with 9 points. Blaum made 7 points; Hillder, 3; Gorden, 2 Beck, 1; and Juhl, 5.

Why were there so many cases of hiccoughs at Albert'as slumber party Tuesday night?
The girls said they had a good lunch. Marian B. was privileged by having onion skin on her chilliburger sandwich.
Can you imagine Verna Mae being rocked to sleep in a doll cradle?
Bob Gardner was certainly in a big hurry to get home. We wonder why? It couldn't be that the girls threw him out the door.
