Bucyrus high's Rcdmen chalked up their seventh consecutive win here Fri day night by conquering a fighting Marion Business college five, 40-35. Only in the first quarter did Coach Corl Zimmerman's Presidents provide any match for the Vikings.

The initial frame developed into a foul-shooting contest with Steve Beban. Garfield forward, caging the only bucket in the last 45 seconds to give the Presidents a 5-3 advantage as the quarter ended. Two minutes elapsed in the second canto before there was any pointmaking and then Tom Wel-baum, North forward, split the draperies with a goal that dead locked the count. That fielder provided the proper Incentive for a sensational scoring spurt by the Vikings and they went on to add eight more markers while holding Garfield to a lone foul toss by Henry Bialy. North widened the margin In tne third period which was marked by free scoring of both teams.

Garfield's defense cracked wide open near the end of this frame when Mike Fernella, rangy North forward, scampered loose for two sucker shots in rapid sue cession, the quarter finishing with North ahead, 24-14. The Vikings continued their wild rampage in the fourth episode and scored 11 more points as Garfield found the range for a bucket and two charity flips. Garfield, In meeting lis first setback after six consecutive victories, presented a disorganized unit with wild passing, Inaccurate shooting, and little or no defense. The Presidents did manage to hold down the high scoring Ed "Stretch" Sadowski, elongated North center. With two men guarding him, Sadowski collected only one basket, but looped in five free throws.

Fernella was the driving force behind the Viking attack with four goals and four fouls for a 12 point total. Steve Beban, only veteran from last year's team that shared the championship with West, was the lone satellite for Garfield with brilliant floorwork and nine points. In registering its fifth triumph in six starts, Central's team flashed the best form displayed by any Akron schoolboy five this season with a fast breaking offense that carried a mighty scoring wallop. The first half found the two teams battling tooth and nail, but Kenmoro lost its offensive punch In the last two quarters as Central breezed to an easy win with several of its substitutes brea king into the scoring column. Gaining momentum as they went along, the Central floormen accounted for 30 points in the second half as Kenmore totaled only four.

The first half, however, was a different story with the score deadlocked at 4-4, 6-6, and 8-8. Three buckets by R. T. Harris, Central forward, featured the third quarter rally of the Wildcats who accrued 14 tallies as Kenmore connected for only a charity throw. Kenmore's defense went to pieces in the fourth period when Central peppered the basket for 16 counters, six of these points being tallied by second-stringers.

Al Monzo, all-city guard, was the spearhead of Central's team with five goals and two fouls for a 12-point total. Marion Nix and Harris at forwards also played cleverly, the former getting eight markers and Harris six. North Wplbailm.f. Slovlsky.f.. Sadowski.c.

Blair Plans To Start Kellar At Forward, Hamlin At Center At Berea By JOE WILLIAMS AKRON university's cagemen swing into the heftiest part of their court campaign tonight at Berea against Baldwin-Wallace's Yellow Jackets. It's a battle in which the verdict is expected to tell considerable about the outcome of the) current Ohio conference championship race and Akron's chances of retaining the title won last winter. With two victories in as many erratic contests, the Zippers hope tu return to their natural selves against the strong Jacket squad and play better basketball than they have shown in their two home engagements. The Zippers always have managed to play basketball just aa well as their opponents and just as well as they had to for victory. Coach Howard "Red" Blair announced today that his squad is in a fighting mood and confident that all of its erratic play has been put behind.

Blair expects to start Ed "Hammer" Hamlin at center to give his squad some height against the rangy B-W squad and in hopes of having one tall man on the court to stop the shooting of the giant Ward Powell, B-W center. At the forwards Blair plans starting Vern Sir Louis and "Razz" Keller, who has shown himself to have a steadying influence on the team something that the squad has needed in its first two games. At the guards were to be Dave Appleby and Russ Estey, a pair of all-Ohioans with whom the Yellow Jackets know they cannot fool. Hamlin's work at center with the Zippers in the late minutes of Akron's 40-30 win over- B-W at Berea last season perhaps earned him his starting job tonight. He played fine ball against the Berear.s and tossed in three baskets for Akron in a late spurt that gave the Zips their good margin after the game had been close for three periods.

Blair anticipates a very close game and despite that existing feeling of fans that the Zippers are due for a tumble, has confidence that his charges will come through. He points to the fact that only one game has been lost to B-W at Berea in several years, and even on the old Berea cracker-box court. Tonight's game will be played on the new Berea armory floor which is near the size of Goodyear court where the Zippers are accustomed to playing, something that should be more of a help to the locals than a hindrance. The game gets under way at 8 o'clock. Blair said that Dave Finn, Art Shapiro and Earl Hensal undoubtedly will see as much service in the contest as any of the starters, but will use them only after the first few minutes gives an indication of what will be needed in the battle.

Basketballs will be bounding off the backboards in all parts of the state tonight as Ohio's collegians go against the opponents that weekly are making the court-road harder to travel. One Western conference tilt, two in the Buckeye conference and four other Ohio conference games in addition to the Akron-B-W tilt are on the slate. Seven other games of non-conference character are on the book. Ohio State was slated to meet Illinois at Columbus in their Big Ten encounter with the invaders given the edge because of superior height and scoring ability. Both teams have won and lost one in conference play.

The Buckeye contests brought together Ohio university and Miami at Oxford and Cincinnati against Marshall at Huntington, W. Va. The four other Ohio conference games featured Kent State at Hiram, Marietta at Capital, Denison a. Oberlin and Ashland at Muskingum. The non-conference tilts pit Ohio Wesleyan against Dayton at Dayton; Springfield Third Lutheran at Van Wert against Giffin; Georgetown at Alfred Holbrookj Cedarville at Defiance; Toledo St.

Johns at Findlay; Michigan State at Western Reserve; and Wilmington at Earlham. was unbeaten in the Ohio conference. Last year Coach Rich's eleven won six and tied one in the league, a non-conference loss to Ohio Wesleyan being the only blot on the record. It was Rich's most successful season at Denison, the previous three seasons bringing only four victories, 18 defeats and three ties. In addition to his coaching: duties, Rich taught commercial law.

His father is now a lawyer in Cleveland, but Rich said he would practice independently. He ia married and has two daughters. Rich played with the University of Michigan, being captain of the Wolverihes in 1926 when they defeated Ohio State 17 to 16 in a thrill-packed duel at Ohio Stadium and then tied for the conference crown.

Manager Harold Rothman Limits Entries To Greater Akron Residents In rolsky Co. table tennis tourna ment will begin at the Polsky auditorium Monday, Jan. 21, it was announced today by Harold Rothman, tournament director. All competition in the event will be conducted during the evenings, play starting each night at 7:30 o'clock and to continue possibly a week or longer, depending on the number of entries. Championships will be determined in classes for boys, adults and women with trophies to be awarded each of the three title winners.

Rothman anticipates a larger field of entries than ever in the event with interest in table tennis showing a remarkable climb from year to year. The tournament in its first year drew entries and last year drew a field of 268. Letters will be mailed out early next week to various clubs and larger industrial factories of the city where table tennis is played in recreation rooms, inviting nil table tennis players to enter the coming tournament. All entries must be filed either with the sports department of The Beacon Journal or with Rothman at Polsky's before 5 p. m.

Saturday, Jan. 19. riay will be conducted on an elimination basis with two victories out of three games to determine each winner and advance the victorious player to another round. The tournament will be open only to table tennis players living in greater Akron. This means that the competition, at least in the adult division, will be without a defending champion inasmuch as a Cantonian, Don Willis, won it last season.

Efforts are being made to obtain more entries in the women's division for the coming jousting. More interest has been taken in the game by feminine players this winter than heretofore and it is anticipated the entries for the women's division will come close to equalling the number of men players. All players In the competition must furnish their own paddles, but the Polsky Co. will furnish balls for tournament play. Six tables will be used during the early rounds of the competition In an effort to expedite play.

Competent judges who are prominent local tennis and table tennis stars will be appointed by the Polsky Co. to act as officials of the final round contests. Cliff Spencer, in charge of the Polsky sporting goods department, will assist Rothman in directing tournament play. Rich Quits As Denison Mentor; Mention Holcomb As Successor Releree Lobach (F.
