Scars Of Hatred ' "Where does the spirit of class hatred have its source? .Most of us imagine that it is due althogether to the propaganda of misguided leaders. The fact is, such leaders usually merely take advantage of prejudice which already exists. They simply build upon it and intensify it. Therefore we need to go back to1 original sources. * Ordinarily the damage is done in the home. And here's how it usually happens,, so far as the child is concerned. The family is gathered about the supper table, and father or mother makes an unjust or cruel charge against someone they have encountered during the day, or, they repeat as a fact something they read in a prejudiced journal or pamphlet concerning a particular race or religion, or the alleged act of a representative of organized labor. Any doubt that they would be unable to meet pressure due to their reasonably easy schedule thus far was completely dispelled under the driving basketball they showed in boith these contests. While they were guilty of occasional lapses, for the most part they offset this by continually carrying the fight to their opponents and refusing to be lulled into any sense of security even though they managed to hold the lead. Bright spot in both games was the stellar performances by Paul Bricker who is rapidly coming to the fore as a top rebound man. And what is more apparent is his ability to find the hoop with twisting jump shots that opponents find difficulty in preventing. Howevei-, to single out any one player would be difficult for each and every one knew that the real answer to their ability would be found" in these two games and in those coining up. As a result there was little to ask in their individual play and as a whole. The tirade clos,es with an unfair characterization of the person discussed and ends with the remark: "That's just like a ," whatever the race, or the religion, or the position may be. And thereby a whole race, or form of religion, or movement is damned. It may seem like an unimportant mat- itejr to the parent, but the child seated next to father or mother listens in wonder and amazement, and, having absolute confidence in its parent, it believes everything that was said must be true. Thus the seed of hatred is planted. It grows in the child's mind and becomes a festering, corrosive sore which affects all its thinking, distorting all its judgments. ■^■.•jjerspl rm.has been done to„£j were thoughtlesi or-slandered.. The., result.-is Jhatj"nca£, th-j^to: -'■***' "■ 1fceM*it' W'imtfiWirit'"patents Should not encourage—especially in their own homes—that which is unnatural in children, 'and which is one of the greatest blights on mankind today? In these times when hatred is so rampant, causing untold suffering to the individuals and to nations, the parents of American children can render no greater service in building up the spirit of .brotherhood and democracy throughout the •world than by showing their children how hatred is responsible for the great tragedies of today, as well as being the greatest menace to the world of tomorrow. Message To Remember Not many weeks ago Americans were preparing to celebrate the defeat of Germjany. The celebration threatened to become a disruptive orgy. Concern over the situation caused employes of the Boston and Maine Railroad to pledge support of the war effprt after V-'Day in a message that should not be forgotten, although at present victory in Europe seems farther away than it did last summer. The message says: "We don't know when V-Day over Germany will be . . . but when it does come, we . . . know how we're going to 'celebrate.'' "On V-D,ay we'll be working—full time, full speed. There aren't going to be any parties. Our men aren't going to spike . the switches and get together for any whoopee1. There won't be any empty desk in our office, or freight trains standing- idle in our yards. We ask you not to ride our trains that day to go celebrating. - "Most of us will go to church. We shall thank God, and pray for speedy victory over Japan. We urge you to do the same. "Pro*bably it isn't any of our business what you do on V- D,ay. But complete victory is everybody's business. The time you might be tempted to take off from your job puts'every one of us that many hours farther away from the victorious end. The uproarious spirits you might bring to partying would fall pretty flat when you bumped into Bob Jones, or Mrs. Smith, or any one of a million other Americans with boys in. the Pacific. "We . . . make this plea now, so you'll have plenty of time, to think it over. And we mlake it in the sober conviction that only on the day of total victory, and not before, can any df us afford to let down." Potato Shortage Feared The housewives were slightly jolted by the report that next spring may see a potato shortage similar to that which made this essential food so scarce in the spring of 1943. The crop of last summer was 18 per cent below the previous year, while military and civilian demands have continued very heavy. Up to 1943 a shortage of potatoes was very unusual. Peo- . pie became, so used to seeing plenty of these plain brown skinned* vegetablels, that it did not occur to many of them that they would ever be scarce. They did not always realize how highly they valued them. When they were not to be had, they wokVup to the fact of how dependent they were on this substantial vegetable. The country got" through "the potato Backboard Play Brilliant Again it was superior play around the backboards against taller opponents that supplied the difference. Both. Seibring and Zanesville had plenty of heighth but that made little difference to the aroused Vikings and with Fye, Warstler and Bricker taking the leading roles and given plenty of assistance by Streby, Mohler and Studer, North Canton just couldn't be kept down. The Vikings broke Zanesville's heart in the first half with a blistering attacking from which the Blue Devils never did recover even though ithey threatened in the third period. The visitor's zone defense, which they never did break up despite the accurate shooting of North Canton, was made to order for the Vikings as they penetrated it. for short shots and then when jh.'Sld Out would drop in fairly long tosses. ^jFfr Blue Devil Attack Stalled . .-- '. Zanesville's reputedly powerful "fast break offense, on the other hand never did get a chance to function properly as North Canton's down floor defensive tactics prevented the Blue Devils getting under way. The game was hardly a minute old before the Vikings had registered the first points as Warstler pushed one in fromt the left side of the floor. This was followed in rapid sequence by Fye's layup and a set shot by1 Mohler and the Vikings had three goals in as many attempts. During the remainder of the first period it was still all North Canton as they shot their advantage to 12-0 before Ford connected on a free throw for the visitor's first noint. The quarter ended with North Canton leading 12-4. However, Zanesville fought back gamely but just couldn't match ithe pace set bv North Canton and that coupled with-their inability to hit the hoop from the field until Derry connected late in the second period was too much of a handicap and the Vikings romped to a 20-7 halftime lead. White Gets Hot The third period provided a different story as the Blue Devils came back with a blistering offensive that proved them to be the dangerous team they were supposed to be. Led by Dean White, who caged four goals during this quarter, they slowly but surely whittled down the Viking advantage as White hit a follow-up and Derry duplicated. Two more by White, all this while North Canton failed to score cut the margin to 15-20 before BrickeT shook himself loose for a layup. All told in the first six minutes of the period, Zanesville poured 15 points in while limiting ,North Canton to 7 but two successive fielders by Warstler and Fye prior to White's fourth goal made it 31-24. In the final heat, Zanesville disintegrated rapidly against the renewed drive of the Vikings who looped in 13 points while limiting the Blue Devils to six. Come From Behind Against/ Sebring on Friday night North Canton was forced to come from behind to snatch their 12th win. And they did it with a drive that upset the Trojans considerably- Trailing 7-5 at the end of the first period, they fell four points behind when Tony Dawson, who dropped in four long heaves during the first half, hit his second to make it 9-5. But then, things began to happen. Studer's long shot, Warstler's follow-up and another one-handed toss bv Studer put sthe Vikings in front 11-9 with four minutes of the period gone. Dawson knotted the count but Bricker and Mohler made it 15-11 before Dawson again hit. Studer and Bricker caged free throws and Streby a push shot to make itt 19-13 before Sharp- nack registered to leave North Canton but three points at the half. Each team scored but three points in the third period and after Ed Brunie slipped in for a lay- gratis toss Fye wound up the evening's scoring with a bunny on a fast break and North Canton suc- cesfully stalled out the minute and a half remaining. Both games showed that old foul shooting weakness as North Canton caged but five of 13 against Sebring and but six of 17 in the Zanesville contest. Reserves Keep Going The reserves also kept their streak intact as they romped over the Sebring reserves in a rough contest 26 to 18 as Earl Hall looped in 11 points. The Vikings held quarter margins of 13-4, 16-9, and 20-12. In the preliminary to the Zanesville contest they rolled over Yale Clothes, a Class C team in the Y league, 51-30. Paul Baxter set the pace with 14 points as the Vikings took leads of 10-0, 19-6, 32-16. This week there will be only one game on tap, a Friday night encounter with Hartville. Then on Tuesday night Stow, a Metro league member, will provide the opposition. The Vikings already hold a 45-31 victory over the Blue Sreaks and will be out to make it two.

He sustained a fractured skull and body injuries. The boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Sehreffler of Apple Grove road, was out playing with a group of children at the time the accident occurred. He coasted down a hill and across the road directly in front of an automobile driven by David H. Bachtel. Mr. Bachtel, driving north on Pittsburgh road, was unable to stop his car in time to avoid hitting the sled. He picked the boy up and took him to the hospital. 11 Sebring fg Barrett, f 0 E.

Cause of the blaze, which started in the attic, is not known. It was first discovered by one of the members of the family who called for help. The North Canton fire department was summoned and the fire was confined to the top of the house. Damage is estimated at approximately S4,000. The home is covered by insurance. The * local fire department answered a second alarm at 1 a. im. Wednesday morning. A small burner at the gas regulator on Poheja Farm set fire to the small building protecting the retrulator, causing approximately $100 damage. "Most Beautiful Spot in World -New York Harbor"-Kauffman Ladyne Hermann of Spars Home on Leave Ladyne M. Herman, Sp (X) 3c of the Spars, is on leave, visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hermann of 127 6th St. Specialist Hermann enlisted in the Spars in March, 1944 and reported to the U. S. Coast Guard training station, Palm Beach, Fla. in April. Following a six week in- dictrination course, she was ordered to duty at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington, D. C. where she is a draftsman in the communications section of the Engineering Division. Prior to entering service Spar Hermann was. employed as an inspector of small parts in a defense nlant in North Canton She has one brother in the service, Benet R. Hermann, aviation machinist mate third class of the U. S. Navy. Home From World Trip and Two Year Stay in Iran, Local Soldier Tells of Strange Things in Persia of Tiaday "Absolutely the most beautiful sight in the world, was'the place we watched just as the sun was coming up out of the mist and fog," he said, smiling—"the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor." After two and a half j'ears in service, most of it overseas, during which he made a complete circle of the globe, Sgt. Jay Kauffman had good reason for his statement. And other returning servicemen echo his words, as they come back home from far off,battle zones. Funeral Held Sunday for Mts. Harshberger Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon in the Myers funeral parlors in Greentown for Mrs. Pearl Harshberger, 67, formerly of North Can/ton, who died Friday in Massillon.

March of Dimes Calls Attention to Aid of Infantile Paralysis Victims The annual "March of Dimes," national campaign to raise funds for the benefit of Infantile Paralysis victims is now in progress. Small coin boxes, on display in most public places are placing the appeal well before the public to add their contribute to aid those stricken by the disease. The epidemic which swept many communities last fall brought anxious attention to the destruction of human health and life which it causes. With this thought still sharp in the minds of many folks, it is hoped they will do all they can Memorial Mass Held for Staff Sgt. Gavalier A requiem 'memorial mass was held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock in Little Flower church at Middlebranch for Staff Sgt. Patrick (Patsy) Cavalier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Cavalier of Middlebranch. Sgt. Cavalier was killed on December 7 on Leyte island, where he was serving with a coasit artillery unit. A graduate of Middlebranch high school, he entered service on September 25, 1941 and received training at Ft. Eustis, Va., and Camp Davis, N. C. He had been overseas since January, 1942. In addition to his parents he is survived by four brothers, John, Orlando and Rinaldo, all of the home, and Pvt. Quedo, on furlough; and six sisters, Mrs. Louise Mastri of Prairie View, 111., and Alda, Violet, Anita, Rosensary and Betty Jane, all' of the home. Funeral for Mrs, Kranfi Held Wednesday Funeral services Were held Wednesday morning in St. Mary's Catholic church in Massillon for Mrs. Elizabeth M. Krantz, 62, who died in Massillon City hospital, Sunday. Mrs. Krantz is survived by her husband, Frank W. Krantz; two sons, Carl of Massillon and Seaman First Class Raymond in the South Pacific; two daughters* Mrs. Dorothy France of Massillon and Sister Mary Elise of Cleveland; two brothers, Jacob and Edward It was in June, 1942 that the North Canton youth entered military service. After several months of training he left the United States on the first lap of a journey- that was to take him through, many historic spots. As Jay puts it, "It was a trip around the world with a two year delay en route at Iran." (Looking fit and well, Jay sti^l has the heavy tan acquired under the hot sun in southern Iran, where he was stationed as a member of an Engineer Depot Co, supplying materials for engineers working oh. the supply line to Russia. Many are the stories that he has to tell of the natives and the country that holds all the glamour of old Persia. But to a modern American imost of the glamour is lost fn the dirt and the heat of the country the indolence of the natives. "There are two classes of ped- ple in Iran," Jay explained, "the millionaires and the coolies." The millionaires are usually fairly well educated. Some of them go to India to study and some go to Teheran; Most of these are inclined to be modern in their dress ad habits. The otners, or the coolies, are very poor, and usually extremely- dirty. They continue to wear the old customary garb of their ancestors, making a strange contrast of the old and the new." Iran is at sea level, and causes many unusual things, which Jay says are very hard to believe at first. For instance, fighting a flood, in the middle of a desert, seeing a man go fishing out in the middle of a huge sandy waste, or seeing it rain and watching the water just lay in puddles on the ground, without soaking in or runnina- off into; a river or drainage system of some SOft. . - . r,~ - .. - • ■ - -, "Pishing in the middle of the desert is done very easily," he explained.

One of the outstanding stories to cortte out of the epidemic last fall, and the work done by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc. comes from a small community in North Carolina. It is called "The Miracle of Hickory." It is the story of how 5,000,000 dimes contributed by the American people delivered a smashing blow to help stem the tide of dread polio that swept the state. ' ' The first case of polio in the slate did not cause much concern, but when the. second and the third and the fourth—and finally a tidal wave of stricken victims overflowed all available hospital facilities, the call for help went out* Dramatic Club to Present Comedy Friday, Feb. 2 On Friday evening, Feb. 2-at 8:15 o'clock the high school dramatic club will present its annual play in the high school auditorium. portage, andjif/they are-short again) substitutes will be S&MUa?2gK«Sg foUDQ^ ....-, . _.; ,_:, ,,_._._. - J.... . ., After Shafpna*k- made good a This year's presentation is a farce comedy of high school students and women's rights, entitled "Ever Since Eve." The general theme concerns the trials and tribulations that a high school news paper encountered when it was suddenly taken over by a group oi girls. The young editor of the paper, Johnny Clover, is determined to oust the feminine bunglers, but the girls have a strong backer in Miss Willard, a young faculty member, who solidly backs the rights of all girls in school affairs. The boy's -faculty backer, Henry Quinn is also a good fighter, but he is overcome by. Miss Willard's *-wiles, and finally, marries her.. The tempestuous way the boys and girls-work together adds a-lot of distinctive comedy and'there are a lot of humorous characters in the play- who will .add .'to the' ShirleyJDlson. laughs. Rollin Reiss plays" the part of Johnny Clover, and his cd-editor, Susan Blake, is played by, Pauline Hess. Mr. and Mrs.'Clover, Johnny's confused . parents,: are played by Bob Carlson and Doris Chelpka.

Infantile Paralysis hospital openei its doors fifty fout hours after the idea was conceived, workmen wen srfclll busy in one ward as childrer were placed in the other. All the hospital housework that usually takes three weeks to plan and accomplish was done in less than three'days. It had been done because of the spontaneous unity oi purpose and action of the National Foundation, .staite and loca' health officers and the people of Hickory. Everybody had pitched m and helped. And because folks throughout America had given their dimes, because the folks of that community met the crisis' that arose with such , response, most of those stricken with the disease recoveredt Of the 344 patients treated up to September, only 12* had died. Sixty-eight made complete recoveries and less that 32 per cent had residual paralysis. Of this last group, at least half will make sufficient recovery to lead full and normal lives. The money collected for this drive in Stark county will be divided equally between the National Foundation arid the local treasury. Last year Stark County faced the local emergency "by assuming full financial responsibility of 18 new cases at a cost of $7,400.00 by December 31. .' Since some of these cases- are serious, heavy expense may continue for sometime. Each'community tmust be prepared to help, meet the expense of those still hospitalized and whatever emergencies may arise in the future. Dimes and dollars cannot be spent-for a more worthy cause.

Dies After Long Illness Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock 'uneral services were held for Mrs. Catherine Myers, 78, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Loman Miller of Harrisburg Saturday night, after a long illness. She was the wife of Adam Myers. Other survivors include a daughter, Mrs. James Bowers of Way- lesburg; a sister, Mrs. Adelia """loom, of Canton, and eight grandchildren. Rev. Fr.

This is because the land is at sea level and water is close fo the surface, even under the desert." For the same reason the men stationed there had to go out one night to fight a flood in the (middle of the desert. "We were right in the middle of a party," Jay related, "when the officer came in and told us we would have to go out into the desert to help fight a rising flood. Naturally we didn't believe him. It took quite a bit ofr talk to convince us he really meant' it. What had happened, we discovered when we finally went, was that a river had flooded its banks several miles away and the water had flooded back into the desert* without any place to go." When Jay started on the first part of his trip home he was lucky enough to travel by plane. On a brief stop over in Cairo, Egypt he- visited the Y. M. C. A. He started talking with one of the staff mem> bers there and discovered that they had a mutual acquaintance with Ed Myers, formerly of the YMCA in. Canton. Jay was given a cQmpli-* mentary pass for the YMCA in Cairo, although he was not there long enough to put it to extensive use.

Vikings Run" Winning- Streak to 13 Games as They Turn in
Best Performances of Season; Meet Hartville here Friday
and Stow on Tuesday
Tuming in two of then- best performances to date when
the chips -were down, the Vikings of North Canton hurdled
two tough opponents the past week-end as they; edg-ed Sebring 27 to 21 and then blasted Zanesville 44-30 to run their
win streak to 13 "games.
Scars Of Hatred
' "Where does the spirit of class hatred have its source?
.Most of us imagine that it is due althogether to the propaganda of misguided leaders. The fact is, such leaders usually merely take advantage of prejudice which already exists.
They simply build upon it and intensify it. Therefore we
need to go back to1 original sources.
* Ordinarily the damage is done in the home. And here's how
it usually happens,, so far as the child is concerned. The family is gathered about the supper table, and father or mother
makes an unjust or cruel charge against someone they have
encountered during the day, or, they repeat as a fact something they read in a prejudiced journal or pamphlet concerning a particular race or religion, or the alleged act of a representative of organized labor.
Any doubt that they would be
unable to meet pressure due to
their reasonably easy schedule thus
far was completely dispelled under
the driving basketball they showed in boith these contests. While
they were guilty of occasional lapses, for the most part they offset
this by continually carrying the
fight to their opponents and refusing to be lulled into any sense
of security even though they managed to hold the lead.
Bright spot in both games was
the stellar performances by Paul
Bricker who is rapidly coming to
the fore as a top rebound man. And
what is more apparent is his ability to find the hoop with twisting
jump shots that opponents find difficulty in preventing.
Howevei-, to single out any one
player would be difficult for each
and every one knew that the real
answer to their ability would be
found" in these two games and in
those coining up. As a result there
was little to ask in their individual play and as a whole.
The tirade clos,es with an unfair characterization of the
person discussed and ends with the remark: "That's just like
a ," whatever the race, or the religion, or the position
may be. And thereby a whole race, or form of religion, or
movement is damned. It may seem like an unimportant mat-

mother listens in wonder and amazement, and, having absolute confidence in its parent, it believes everything that was
said must be true.
Thus the seed of hatred is planted. It grows in the child's
mind and becomes a festering, corrosive sore which affects
all its thinking, distorting all its judgments.

Message To Remember
Not many weeks ago Americans were preparing to celebrate the defeat of Germjany. The celebration threatened to
become a disruptive orgy. Concern over the situation caused
employes of the Boston and Maine Railroad to pledge support of the war effprt after V-'Day in a message that should
not be forgotten, although at present victory in Europe seems
farther away than it did last summer. The message says:
"We don't know when V-Day over Germany will be . . .
but when it does come, we . . . know how we're going to 'celebrate.''
"On V-D,ay we'll be working—full time, full speed. There
aren't going to be any parties. Our men aren't going to spike
. the switches and get together for any whoopee1. There won't
be any empty desk in our office, or freight trains standing-
idle in our yards. We ask you not to ride our trains that day
to go celebrating.
- "Most of us will go to church. We shall thank God, and
pray for speedy victory over Japan. We urge you to do the
same.
"Pro*bably it isn't any of our business what you do on V-
D,ay. But complete victory is everybody's business. The time
you might be tempted to take off from your job puts'every
one of us that many hours farther away from the victorious
end. The uproarious spirits you might bring to partying
would fall pretty flat when you bumped into Bob Jones, or
Mrs. Smith, or any one of a million other Americans with
boys in. the Pacific.
"We . . . make this plea now, so you'll have plenty of time,
to think it over. And we mlake it in the sober conviction that
only on the day of total victory, and not before, can any df
us afford to let down."
Potato Shortage Feared
The housewives were slightly jolted by the report that
next spring may see a potato shortage similar to that which
made this essential food so scarce in the spring of 1943. The
crop of last summer was 18 per cent below the previous year,
while military and civilian demands have continued very
heavy.
Up to 1943 a shortage of potatoes was very unusual. Peo-
. pie became, so used to seeing plenty of these plain brown
skinned* vegetablels, that it did not occur to many of them
that they would ever be scarce. They did not always realize
how highly they valued them. When they were not to be had,
they wokVup to the fact of how dependent they were on this
substantial vegetable. The country got" through "the potato
Backboard Play Brilliant
Again it was superior play
around the backboards against taller opponents that supplied the difference. Both. Seibring and Zanesville had plenty of heighth but that
made little difference to the aroused Vikings and with Fye, Warstler
and Bricker taking the leading
roles and given plenty of assistance
by Streby, Mohler and Studer,
North Canton just couldn't be kept
down.
The Vikings broke Zanesville's
heart in the first half with a blistering attacking from which the
Blue Devils never did recover even
though ithey threatened in the third
period. The visitor's zone defense,
which they never did break up despite the accurate shooting of
North Canton, was made to order
for the Vikings as they penetrated
it. for short shots and then when
jh.'Sld Out would drop in fairly long
tosses.
^jFfr Blue Devil Attack Stalled . .--
'. Zanesville's reputedly powerful
"fast break offense, on the other
hand never did get a chance to
function properly as North Canton's down floor defensive tactics
prevented the Blue Devils getting
under way.
The game was hardly a minute
old before the Vikings had registered the first points as Warstler
pushed one in fromt the left side
of the floor. This was followed in
rapid sequence by Fye's layup and
a set shot by1 Mohler and the Vikings had three goals in as many attempts.
During the remainder of the first
period it was still all North Canton as they shot their advantage to
12-0 before Ford connected on a
free throw for the visitor's first
noint. The quarter ended with
North Canton leading 12-4.
However, Zanesville fought back
gamely but just couldn't match ithe
pace set bv North Canton and that
coupled with-their inability to hit
the hoop from the field until Derry
connected late in the second period was too much of a handicap
and the Vikings romped to a 20-7
halftime lead.
White Gets Hot
The third period provided a different story as the Blue Devils
came back with a blistering offensive that proved them to be the
dangerous team they were supposed to be. Led by Dean White, who
caged four goals during this quarter, they slowly but surely whittled down the Viking advantage as
White hit a follow-up and Derry
duplicated. Two more by White,
all this while North Canton failed
to score cut the margin to 15-20
before BrickeT shook himself loose
for a layup. All told in the first
six minutes of the period, Zanesville poured 15 points in while limiting ,North Canton to 7 but two
successive fielders by Warstler and
Fye prior to White's fourth goal
made it 31-24.
In the final heat, Zanesville disintegrated rapidly against the renewed drive of the Vikings who
looped in 13 points while limiting
the Blue Devils to six.
Come From Behind
Against/ Sebring on Friday night
North Canton was forced to come
from behind to snatch their 12th
win. And they did it with a drive
that upset the Trojans considerably-
Trailing 7-5 at the end of the
first period, they fell four points
behind when Tony Dawson, who
dropped in four long heaves during the first half, hit his second
to make it 9-5. But then, things
began to happen.
Studer's long shot, Warstler's
follow-up and another one-handed
toss bv Studer put sthe Vikings in
front 11-9 with four minutes of
the period gone. Dawson knotted
the count but Bricker and Mohler
made it 15-11 before Dawson
again hit. Studer and Bricker caged free throws and Streby a push
shot to make itt 19-13 before Sharp-
nack registered to leave North Canton but three points at the half.
Each team scored but three
points in the third period and after Ed Brunie slipped in for a lay-
gratis toss Fye wound up the evening's scoring with a bunny on a
fast break and North Canton suc-
cesfully stalled out the minute and
a half remaining.
Both games showed that old foul
shooting weakness as North Canton caged but five of 13 against
Sebring and but six of 17 in the
Zanesville contest.
Reserves Keep Going
The reserves also kept their
streak intact as they romped over
the Sebring reserves in a rough
contest 26 to 18 as Earl Hall looped in 11 points. The Vikings held
quarter margins of 13-4, 16-9, and
20-12.
In the preliminary to the Zanesville contest they rolled over Yale
Clothes, a Class C team in the Y
league, 51-30. Paul Baxter set the
pace with 14 points as the Vikings
took leads of 10-0, 19-6, 32-16.
This week there will be only one
game on tap, a Friday night encounter with Hartville. Then on
Tuesday night Stow, a Metro league member, will provide the opposition. The Vikings already hold
a 45-31 victory over the Blue
Sreaks and will be out to make it
two.
