It's absolutely amazing what one year and one man can do because the Tornadoes are play- tng basketball again. They won tlteif first opening- game contest since 1963 last flight, scuttling Carrollton's Warriors 58-50.

Caraway Rips St. Joe 68-40 For 2nd Win They rebwutd, shoot accurately from the outside, use a pressing defense (although it was ineffective the first half last night), drive for the layup and scramble like mad. But don't expect to see the 1967 state champions. In bas- ketball wisdom they're still young and make a lot of mistakes. Mere's how Coach Cliff Rose put it to his players following the over the Warriors.

"That's a great victory," he yelled above the dressingroom By TIM KOELBLE SUGARCREEK The Caraway Pirates put on a dazzling display of shooting last night ind in the process spoiled Dover St. Joseph coach Jim Antonelli's debut at the Rambler helm. The final score, after a close first half, turned out to be a rout, 68-40. Antonelli's combine will try to get on the victory path tonight when it travels to Kidron Christian. Caraway, now 2-0, will entertain Newcomerstown tonight.

At the game's outset it appeared that the contest was go- to cash in on its opportunities at the foul line. The Pirates pulled out to a 12- point lead midway in the second stanza, but Nelson got the Ramblers going again, coming within 5 of the Pirates at halftime. But it was a different story in the second half. Caraway came out a new ball club in the second half, determined to run away with the game and did.

"1 felt the 2 guys that came off the bench, Todd Grimm and Dave Keitch, contributed greatly to the victory." Grimm and Keitch swung into action in the third period to te- place foul-laden Todd Ramsey and Junior Hughes and it didn't impede the Tornadoes momentum a bit. Dover outscored Carrollton 20-11 during the stanza to build a 47-39 lead entering the final quarter. "Gene Rose did a terrific I job of running the team when Ramsey was on the bench," Coach Rose continued.

"But the boy that did the greatest job was sophomore Dean Burkhart. He hit when we needed it." Not unnoticed was the performance of Rich Milliken, who pumped in a setter in the first bed 15 rebounds, 5 offensively and 10 off the defensive boards. Burkhart and Rose shared team scoring laurels with 14 points apiece with the former garnering a team high of 16 rebounds and the latter 5. Hughes, who was tagged with his fourth personal with 12 seconds remaining in the second quarter, ended with 7 points and 12 rebounds, while Ramsey tallied 4. He had his fourth foul with 5:50 in the third, quarter and left the game with 4:30 to go in the finale.

Keitch added 5 rebounds and 4 points while Grimm, who played most of the second half, had 2 points. Dover fell behind 9-1 at the game's outset, but harrowed the margin to 17-12 at the first stop.

Cage Calendai SATURDAY Tigers Open Campaign on 63-35 triumph By DAVE GRAHAM STRASBURG The Tigers, flying high under the wing ofi senior forward John Studer, who snagged scoring, re-' bounding and assist honors, 1 trounced the Midvale Blue-De-' vils, 63-35 in Strasburg's new gymnasium last night. It was the Tigers' 1966-67 debut and the Blue Devils second loss in as starts.

i The game, although lopsided in score, was hard fought down line with 38 personal fouls being called on the 2 teams. Mike Demattio, Midvale's high scorer for the night, ending with 12, fouled out with 7:10 remaining to be played. Both Ed Rusk and Ed Yackey of Strasburg ran into foul trouble the first quarter and had to sit out much of the game. Yackey, senior pivotman, fin- jished the game with 17 points and 10 rebounds, compared to Studers, 21 points and 10 rebounds. Both had numerous assists, especially in the first quarter when they worked the ball under the basket with military precision.

The end of the first quarter found the Blue Devils on the short end of a 16-8 score, and the Tigers had not yet begun to fight. Half-time score was 28-18 and third quarter 42-29.

In 1959 the Broncos, Isd by current Lakeland basketball coach Gary Caviness, opened their season 4 straight wins, a mark this year's team could match when it travels to Mal- jvern tonight. The victories were over Midvale, Gnadenhutten, Newcomerstown and Stone Creek and the Broncos went on to chalk up a 12-8 season. Last night Gnadenhutten, in launching its 1966-67 season, grabbed leads of 15-11 at the first stop and 37-32 at intermission.

But Tuscarawas got rolling in the second half when the Indians' press resulted in Bill Kohl and Don Finnicum being benched on fouls. Brent Lehigh continued to spark the Bronco attack, pumping in 26 points. Fred Rausch and John Bihari also figured big for the Broncs, racking up 19 and 18, respectively. Lehigh also was Tusky's big man oh the boards, grabbing 18. Kohl gathered in 14 for the Indians.
