Much of the credit for the current championship crew most be given to Morgan for It was his teaching, bullying, and coaxing which moulded a team of individuals into a club which won 23 of 29 games. To use the word individual in its accepted sport sense wouldn't be fair to Luke Menter, Charlie Dudley.

Steve Walls. Rufus Oat-man, and Rich Nelson. In their case individual meant that each had i Job to perform and they did it. In many ways the Raiders resemble the old-time Yankee teams which had masters at every position and won pennants without any excess noise or extrovert exhibitions. Against Moorestown the Raiders knew what to do and showed it in a great second half in which they poured 52 pressure-packed points through the basket.

Until the final half, Englewood looked as though it might hand the game to the Quakers. The Raiders tossed up 32 shots and made but nine to trail 25-24. Twenty-two of the field attempts came in the opening quarter as part of Morgan a strategy. "We felt that if we could jump out in front early we could make them press." he said. "And since they're an inexperienced club it figured we'd be able to take advantage." The plan worked for the first quarter but backfired in the second hen the Raiders made many offensive errors and only three of 10 shots from the floor.

DUDLEY SCORELESS Dudley, who didn't score point in the opening half, picked up the Raiders in the third quarter with seven tallies in a 2-minute span as the lead changed hands nine times. On the ninth time Walls converted a 3-point play and that ended the exchange for good. Walls followed with another bucket, and Oatman and Menter hit three free thows to close out the stanza with a 45-39 margin. The Quakers' 1-man gang, Le-roy Peacock, whom the Maroon defense had held to 16 points in the first three quarters, dropped in four straight points at the start of the final period and the 4.300 fans rocked the hall with noise. v.

i uui mutual! iiau mc answer as ne removed ms famous jacnei signal to the Raiders it's time to start moving. So Menter, Dudley, and Oatman obliged the coach with five consecutive free throws and the margin rose to seven. Thus was the pattern set for the remainder of the game as Morgan's early strategy paid off. Moorestown started pressing and not being the veteran club that Englewood is, committed many personal fouls. Of course if Englewood didn't can the charity tosses the Quakers might have been able to pull it out.

Only the Raiders were more than equal to the task as they marched to the free throw line. In the final 8 minutes of play, Menter was 5-for-6, Dudley 2-for-2, Nelson l-for-2, Oatman 3-for-5 (the first three running his free throw skein to seven), Walls 2-for-4, and substitute Jon Williams 4-foM. PRAISES WILLIAMS Morgan was ecstatic over the way Williams came through after replacing the fouled-out Dudley with 1:40 to play. "Jon has hardly played at all this year but he sure came through for us. Did an.

McCau-ley, a veteran of the Spanish-American War, was unable to attend any of the tournament games after being a follower of Ridgefield Park athletic teams for more than a generation. Although Englewood's Charlie Dudley dirn't play one of his better games in the win over Moorestown, a number of college scouts who watched the game were not discouraged. The poker-faced forward was cornered by a trio of talent hunters in the Englewood dressing room after the game.

Dudley hasn't made up his mind yet, but he has indicated that he's leaning toward Fairleigh Dickinson University. Wilbur Smith, Englewood's director of athletics, was almost as happy as Morgan about the school's championship. "Jon Williams and Bruce Hulin would be regulars on nearly any team in the State but ours," the Maroon director pointed out to interviewers in the noisy Englewood dressing room. Dudley, who has played varsity ball since his sophomore year, saw action in 80 games during his 3-year high school career, with Englewood coming off a winner 74 times. Englewood records for the last 3 years are: 21-3.

C) SI you see the way he took that rebound? And the way he made those fret throws?" Moorestown coach Pete Mon-ska. whose club defeated Englewood last year by the identical score, entered the Englewood dressing room and shook hands with all the. boys. Asked to compare the two clubs Monska said, "I think this is a bit better, but last year's team had a little more spark. Englewood was just too smart for us today.

Four of our starters were jayvee boys last season with only Peacock having played in the championship game." Peacock is the young man upon whom Englewood set its defensive sights, with Nelson dogging him from mid-court. He tried cornering him into Englewood's big men. It worked for a while, but the 5-13 senior has too many moves to be stopped. He was eight for 11 from the field and 10 of 14 from the free throw line to take scoring honors with 26 points. MENTER NETS 25 The youngster played the final quartei with twisted ankle and performed up to expectations.

On many occasions he passed off beautifully, only to have a mate blow an easy shot. Except for penchant for dramatics on every whistle (head holding, throwing his hands to the sky in a plea for justice) he's a real fine player. Another player with a bad ankle, Menter, popped in eight of 15 shots and nine of 11 free throws for 25 points. The ankle finally gave way in the final minute of play but by then he had done his job real well. Walls was runner-up in the Englewood scoring column with 20 points and a half-dozen rebounds.

After a so-so season, Steve blossomed into a playoff star as he proved to be the Raiders' lone holler-guy while pumping in points and grabbing the ball under the boards. In winning its fifteenth straight game, Englewood was 23 for 59 from the floor and 30 for 41 from the line. Moorestown was 20 for 57 and 21 of 30 as it wound up with a 19-3 record.

Easketball Tournament Cergta'i First 2-TiUe Sexsoi Since KS1 The 2-year drought was hard to take after Bergen County teams had won one or more State titles for 18 years prior to the 1938 season. And not since 1331 have two Group championships resided inside this basketball-hungry County, where 43 high schools had teams this winter. To win the titles, Ridgefield Park and Englewood had to overcome the defending champions In the finals. The Scarlets whipped Riverside, 63-53, for the Group 2 crown Friday night at the Rut gers University gym. Saturday afternoon at Camden Convention Hall the Maroon Raiders avenged last year's final-round loss to Moorestown by beating the Quakers, 76-61, for the Group 3 title.

The double victory keeps Bergen County in front with a total of 38 championships in the 42-year history of State tourneys. Hudson County, which had a Group 1 winner in Harrison this year, is second with 3o titles. Ridgefield Park picked up its sixth championship and is now tied with Cliffside Park as Bergen's top State title winners. Park had won Group 3 crowns in 1924, 1926, 1927. 1934.

and 1944. This was its first Group 2 laurel. Frank Bell, the veteran Ridgefield Park coach, was around for 4 of the 6 championship years. He was a star player on the 1926 and 1927 teams, and coached the 1944 and 1960 kingpins. This was Englewood's third Group 3 title, winning in 1947 and 1931.

Tom Morgan, the colorful Raider coach, was at the helm all 3 years. It also may have been Morgan's final basketball season at Englewood. The highly-successful and popular coach plans to' retire after 14 years as pilot of Raider teams which won Statewide acclaim and, for a long period, have been the No. 1 quintet in Bergen County. Bell Likely To Stay At Ridgefield Park Following Friday night's game, it was rumored that Bell would step down as coach at Ridgefield Park in favor of a younger man.

When queried about the rumor. Bell said. "Until the Board of Education finds some one to take my place, I'm willing to stay on. I only took the job again in 1959 because there wasn't any one available at the time to replace Richie Webster, who is presently an administrator at Paramus High School, took over as basketball coach at Ridgefield Park in 1956 when Bell retired after holding the post for 12 years. Webster left at the end of the 1933 season.

Bell assumed the job again and two years later guided the Scar lets to their most successful cam paign in 10 years. It's interesting to note that Webster played for Bell while the latter was coaching at Ridgefield Park and Bergen Junior College. It's highly unlikely that Bell will be leaving, at least not until the end of the 1961 season. Bell, who doesn't have to give up bis job unless he wants to, is inclined to stay until three of this year's starting five graduate in June, 1961. Back next year will be Billy Feehan and Al Lutz, pair of backcourt aces, and forward Pete Schipper.

Random Notes On The Champions They're still celebrating in Ridgefield Park. The owner of a luncheonette in town gave out free hero sandwiches to members of the championship team Saturday. A group of Park players paid a visit Saturday to George Mc-Cauley. who is recuperating from a heart seizure at the Veterans HARRISON WINS Dark-Horse Harrison, which had a so-so regular season, won the Group 1 laurels by topping Dunellen, 66-54, Saturday at Princeton. The other Princeton contest saw Wildwood Catholic run roughshod over St.

Anthony's of Jersey City, 64-51, in Parochial C. Trenton Catholic annexed the Parochial A title on Saturday by trouncing its perennial rival, St. Peter's of Jersey City, 77-61. It marked the fourth time in as many years that these two schools met for the championship with St. Peter's lone triumph coming last season.

Camden won behind the stellar scoring of Ron Smith, who netted 15 points. Weequahic, which alo lost to Camden last year, was in the lead only once, 4-0. Camden moved ahead after an 8-8 tie on a jump shot by Golden Sunkett and the Newark cagers never caught up. Harrison, Hudson County's lone champion, was led by John Vogt's 29 points. The Blue Tide reeled off 12 straight points, beginning in the first and ending in the second period, to pull ahead, 20-12.

Dunellen was never able to come close after that. Dunellen was the fourth defending champion to lose in the finals. Moorestown lost to Englewood in Group 3: Riverside was beaten by Ridgefield Park in Group 2: and St. Peter's lost in Parochial A. Englewood and Trenton Catholic had the satisfaction of defeating the teams which eliminated them in last year's tournament finals.
