Tlu- lift,thin# play In tin; three games on the opening night was thrilling throughout with the uip and-tuek struggle between Laui mole ami Shelby offering the great est thrill. Several individual per formers and some freak playing claimed a considerable share of the limelight, however, s The three outstanding Individual performers before the big crowd in the tin can were W. Clay, Fallstoii.r Dead-Eye Dick; Cant. Shorty Mc Swaltt or the Shelby quint, and Martin, Lattimore guard Some Shooter. Clay, the Pull.ton forward, got a good lead on other players in the tournament by shooting 19 points in his first night’s play. Young Clay tossed eight field goals and three fouls in the basket. With his goal shooting setting a pare for the Pall ston five his team became n dark hor.te threat for the county title. Shelby’s one-point, win over Bal timore hinged to a great exten* about the magnificent floor play of the blonde captain. Time and time again he retrieved the ball when it seemed headed for the LattimoTe basket and in addition to his floor war! he led the Shelby team in scoring. Martin, the flashy Lafti tnore guard, bore the brunt of his team s defensive play as well ns scoring six points to tie with Brooks, a forWAiti, for Baltimore scoring honors.

Williams of Pa list on ranked next to W. Clay Ut scoring with eight points, white Self, a guard, tossed In three of Coaai 7 points. , Fast Play. The Shelby-Lattimore game, the big game of the opening evening, was a nerve-wracking affair from whistle to whistle. One team would snap in a goal and forge ahead, then the other quint would unleash un offensive drive that resulted in a goal and the lead switching. Lat*l more retained a tea.) iho major por tion of the evening, but a final spurt in the closing minutes of the game by Eskridge, R. Brown end Connor sent Shelby one point up. The scoring plays were no; the onlv ones which produced thrills. It was out on tlic floor amid a rapid past ing attack, clever dribbling* and speedy covering on the deiense that Davis. Lattimore center, and Mc Swaiu. Shelby forward, spurred their quints into freneled effov's. Botli plays, incidentally, were re moved from the game, for personal fouls.
