PETOSKEY NEWS REVIEW WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1961 EIGHT NEWS REVIEW iovne Fall Charlevoix Powerhouses Play Here Tomorrow Night Ml Victories FRED LO.VELACE, SporU Editor Gillespie, g. have a good night tomorrow, they could come up with th. big win that would send the Ramblers home for the year. Harbor will have the services back of their ace rebounder Frank Lauer who missed the final game last week because of a leg injury. Charlevoix is an easy choice to roll over the game but inexperienced Pellston Hornets in the second game and if they play like they did against Cheboygan Catholic, their position in the finals is all but clinched.

Pellston has has an off year this season, scoring only one victory against 15 losses but some of their games have been close and could have gone either way. The Rayders nave the better record but they have suffered kit and cold nights this year and'-if the Hornets put up any kind of a defense against them, they might find the road to the finals a little rougher than they hope for. During the regular season Charlevoix walloped Pellston 50 to 16 in the first game and 56 to 47 in the return action. IIOYNK CITY HARHOR SPRINGS 7 Pptiwkt-y 4fi 47 I'. S.

The devil-may-care districts will nightly through Saturday and oy that time some three-fourths of prep cage hopefuls will lave fallen into oblivion. The jlucky survivors will advance to aext week's regionals. The traffic was rei itively light iast night. Only in the class anks did the high and the mighty venture forth in notable clusters and they all passed their initial examinations. Freesoil, the season-long choice as the state's number one class quintet, ripped through Pentwater, i6-35, to highlight a three-game at Ludington.

But Custer, the team that has the best chance of dismantling Jreesoil in the district round, also through in convincing fashion, dumping Walkerville, 72-45. The two class powerhouses the Upper Peninsula Marquette Pierce and Hermansville olished off first-round foes. Pierce clobbered Michigamme, at Negaunee and Hermansville drubbed Amasa, 73-38, at Iron Mountain. If the two teams coast through their respective districts, as expected, they will clash in a regional showdown at Marquette next week. Flint St.

City 00 8W) W-8, L-8 Ny Fred Lovelace Thn Boyne Falls Loggers rolled into the semifinals of the class district tournament here last night with a 57 to 25 victory over Alan-son and Charlevoix blasted Cheboygan Catholic's hopes of moving up' in class with a 74 to 52 win over the game but outclassed parochial school. Falls' victory pits them against Inland Lakes Friday night at 7:15 while Charlevoix will be meeting Pellston tomorrow at 8:50 in class C. Both of last night's winners have posted two regular season victories over their opponents.

In Hie bracket, lioyne Falls fired long shots from the corners and mixed in a couple from under the bucket to gain a 20 to 5 first period edge over Alanson and they never ran into trouble after that. The score stayed that way for the first three minutes and a half before Alanson connected on a pair of free throws to slice the Logger lead to 20-9 but they went stale and saw the Loggers roll up a 30 to 11 halftime edge. The third period found the going little better lor Alanson. While the Loggers were adding 15 points to their total, Alanson managed only three, dropping them behind 45 to 14 when the final eight minutes rolled around. Boyne Falls then ran the edge to 53-1 i with four minutes left to go before the Vikings scored again.

By this time Logger coach Owen Moore had in a complete batch of replacements. But it was also replacements for the Vikings of coach Bill Mosier who whipped in 10 points to cut the Logger lead to 55-25 with the clock showing red. A final bucket bv Dale Reinhardt rounded out the 57-25 total. Don Kullik paced the winners with 14 followed by Earl Gillespie with 12 and Leonard Puroll with 11. Kullik and Gillespie accounted for 12 in the first quarter on set shots from the corners.

Frank Mayle and Craig Merchant each had six for Alanson with replacement Wayne Fairbairn picking up five. Charlevoix got off to a fast pace also in their class game, posting a 24 to 5 lead in the opening eight minutes over Cheboygan Catholic. From that point on it was an outstanding exhibition of precision ball handling and floor work that completely baffled the Catholic defense. By halftime, Charlevoix was well in front 41 to 22 riding on the margin built up in the firs', quarter. Che'joygan Catholic hai caaght fire enough to match points; at 17-17 in the second period but the big opening quarter lead was too much for the inexperienced Eagles to cope with.

'Charlevoix came back with 21 points in the third quarter to Cheboygan's 11 to carry a 62-33 lead with them into the final action. Both sides were substituting freely with the Eagle replacements hitting a better pace. Cheboygan outpointed the Fiayders 19 to 12 tc round out the final 74-52 total. Charlevoix's floor play last night left little to be desired by any coach. They clicked as a unit with no one player attempting to grab the limelight.

This is evidenced by the even scoring of the top four on the squad. Sam Supernaw, playing his usual good game, led the group with but Stan Martin came close to Supernaw with 13 and John Pearl with Jim Dennis ended up with 13 each. Tom Yan- koviak and Bob Yana each had 11 lor Cheboygan Catholic. boyne tails 20 10 15 1257 Alanson 5 6 3 1125 BOYNE FALLS (57) ig ft pf Kullik, f. 7 01 3 Pkop.

Fernandez ran into trouble leav ing Cuba and arrived here through the runabout route of Mexico City. He arrived after yesterdays workout and began drills today.

"He played winter ball, so he should be in pood shape, said manager Bob Scheffing. Fernandez hit .241 in 133 games last season. He started off like a whirlwind in 1950 and was one of the standouts on club at mid- season, then trailed off sharply in the final two months. The extra travel to move Fern andez around through Mexico cost the Tigers $500. There are, in all eight Cuban players in the Detroit system and the additional travel expenses caused by friction with the Cuban government has cost the club a total of $2,003.
