December 15, 1950 The Herald 7 Katch’s Korner By Paul Kachulis Who Controls The Boards? Sigma Chi, in the inaugural game name of the basketball loop, top- lied Kappa Alpha by a score of jp to 25. The K. A .’s led at the end ,,f the first quarter but could not in,Id their one point margin (10 to p.) Scoring honors were captured by Johnny Paris of the K. A. club who massed 14 points for the losers. Bud Bramley and Jim Rumbold lied for team honors with 8 digits each. Harry Ness paced the Sig Phis tu a 23 to 19 victory over Beta Sigma Tau. The Sigma Phi quintet obtained an early game lead that was never relinquished. In the ibird quarter the Beta Sigs threat ened to turn the tide but the “Baby Blue” team forged ahead by a live point lead that was never doubted. Although Ames came through with 12 points for Phi Tau (eight eured in the 4th quarter), Delta ('hi gained a comparatively easy triumph by compiling 35 points to 21 for Phi Tau. Blumenthal was tup man in the scoring column for Helta Chi with 8 markers. Phi Sigma Kappa, behind the precision bombing of the nets by Ken Wells, took a 23 to 19 victory fmm Kappa Sigma. Wells scored 13 of the total points for his team. Turn Powers was the “ big-gun” fur the Kappa Sigs with 9 points. By rolling over Beta Sigma Tau 122 to 26), Sigma Chi gained their ■econd straight triumph. Bud Bramley again sparked his club by • n,ring five field goals and one fuul for an 11 point total. At this lime, although it is quite early in the season, the Sig Chis seem to he a definite contender for the Basketball championship. As yet Theta Delta Chi and Phi Phi Delta have not fielded teams due to post- punement of a regularly scheduled ranie that was to be played last Saturday. Barracks B conquered a hard- lighting Barracks C team by vir tue of a 33 to 29 score. Brks. B ’s lirst quarter performance proved tu be the margin of victoi*y due to the fact that Brks. C held them iu even terms in the last half; each team scoring 17 markers. Ferg rarried the brunt of the scoring Burden for Brks. B by swishing 11 points through the nets. Blake ley paced the losei’s with 13 points. Delta Chi leads the Keglers by an uncomfortable margin of only 31 pnis. 1. Delta Chi 3 768 2. Theta Delta Chi 3 734 3. Kappa Sigma 6 720 1 .

Horace Schue was of an earlier era, and it is largely because o f his saga that today little boys practice their basketball shooting until way after dinner time—striving hopefully to catch that illusive phantom of bas- ketballdom, the perfect “eye”. For you see, Horace Schue had it. The kid just couldn’t miss. He could pivot at midcourt and hook one that would make the chords sing with joy. I’ve seen him cush ion a push shot off o f the referee’s head from twenty feet out. Some times for the mere devil of it, he used to rifle one to the ceiling of the gym where it would squash some unsuspecting f l y and ricochet earthward through the basket, To the ethic and spirit of the game that Dr. Janies Naismith had con ceived in 1891, Schue came as a messiah. But a s it all turned out, he too was sacrificed on a man- made cross. It started With Jaw-Busters Horace wasn’t exactly a home grown product. Old Adolf Schue was a German, and his wife, a sort of bi-product o f twentieth century imperialism in the Orient, was Japanese— making Horace’s ex act racial status somewhat open to question. Nevertheless, Horace reminds those who remember him as more or less a combination of By Jim Hall For the Best In Food Its Castle Dairy Bar Castle and Main Sts.

But to make a long story short, big Adolf emmigrated to America from Jap an early in 1910, only to be con victed in 1914 of being a spy. Here the story gets complex because during the government court pro ceedings in New York City, young Ploraco was spotted by a hack re porter of the Tribune setting jaw busters into the judge’s ink well from a tenth row seat in the gall ery\. Just how Horace got from this tenth row gallery seat to the W es tern Kentucky\ is of no particu lar interest to any\one except to our hero and the hack reporter. It m ight be mentioned in passing, however, that all of this involved some ten years of coaxing by the Tribune’s resourceful entrepreneur and approximately thirty percent of everything the U. of W.K. was willing to pay Horace for his ser vices. At any rate, you can imagine the public’s response when they discovered that the Blue Grass State was harboring* a young man who never missed with a basket ball. The lid simply blew off. Turn stiles burned out, headlines blared, x*ival coaches lost their jobs, and Horace went ahead in his first season to score 1500 points for old alma mater. It was obviously the greatest thing since the automatic starter. But while the nation’s sports writers were each day devoting some five or six inches of hoopla to a contemplation of Horace’s achievements, the whole episode was nearing a premature conclus ion. For one day, for apparently no reason at all, HORACE MISSED A SHOT—it wasn’t even close, and a lay-up^ at that. And the hand of fate, which had so generously gui ded Horace for all these years, now turned and slapped him in the kisser. Horace never made another basket after that day. It got so he couldn’t have hooked a horse shoe around an electro-magnet. The boy was finished almost as spectacular- A Hobart five, which never lost its poise or team spirit, finally conquered a surprisingly (strong Hamilton College team last Tues day night a t Clinton as they won in an overtime period by a 58- 53 score. The Freshmen team main tained their unsullied record and squeaked through to their third straight win in the preliminary with the Hamilton J.V. team by a 48-46 score. The varsity’s victory ended a Hobart string of 23 consecutive losses in road games. Prior to Tuesday’s battle, Hobart’s last road win w a s coincidentally also fashioned against luckless Hamilton way back on December 14,1946 when the Statesmen downed the Continentals by a 55-52 score. The first half of the varsity fray moved slowly as the States men moved to a 9-8 first quarter lead. Then Hamilton, mostly by deadly accuracy a t the foul line, pulled away to a 29-23 half-time advantage, After the intermission, Hobart evened things up at the end of the third quarter, 37 all. For the last ten minutes, it was touch and go with the lead changing hands several times, and the regu lation game ended in a 48-48 dead lock. There was little doubt of the outcome after three minutes of the overtime period' flS^d expired. De- muth and Letizia each dunked quick baskets and Bernstein pro vided the needed scoring punch by netting six points. The Freshmen provided an ex citing preliminary as they over came a 12 point deficit in the last ten minutes. Behind 44-30 a t the beginning of the fourth quarter, they tightened their defensive vise and scored 18 points to Hamilton’s 4 points. Jim Marsh’s long one- hander with about two seconds re maining clinched th e victory. Ken Butler and Don Brasho also played outstanding ball fox* the Frosh. Buffalo Varsity and Freshmen basketball on the Armory court starting a t 7:00 P . M. on Tuesday ends 1950 cage activity. Mai Eiken brings into town, the biggest squad in both height and depth, of his Buffalo basketball career and probably the strongest team Hobai’t w ill face all season outside of the return match on March 2nd. The Bulls’ 17 man squad includes Jack Chalmers and Hal Kuhn, both starters on last year’s team. The remainder of the first five will feature Jim Rooney, and Bernie Thorne and Dan Croft or Howie Johnt and Bill Annable. Using all except the last two, the Bulls would average slightly over six feet. The visitors lost their season opener, 64-62, against a highly favored Washington and Jefferson team. Since that they have shown improvement and have been very effective using a mixture of the fast break and slow methodical play with the accent on ball hand ling. Although nothing is known about the visiting freshmen, it would not seem unlikely that the local yearlings w ill also run into one of their toughest games of the season. Queen’s Defeated A week ago Thursday’s home campaign opener against Queen’s University from Kingston, Ont. was the most successful start for a Ho bart team in many a year. The var sity won 69-45, with Randy Scho field’s 18 points leading the parade. In the preliminary game the fresh men completely outclassed McKech- nie Lunger School of Commerce from Rochester b y a 55-32 score.
