THE GREENE COUNTY GUA’JJIAN i I LOOK HERE C e l i n a Wi n t e r Ho Fountains and all parts. Electric Heaters for Poultry and Cattle Hog Boxes and F e e d e r s Full-O-Pep and *m Gatteri’s chatter on ORTS Foul at Buzzer Filches Victory At Martinsville from Jefferson This is a column of comment. One sage s a y i n g among those of th e newspapering pro­ fession is that "Comment is cheap; facts are sacred. "Nev­ ertheless, this is a column of comment. So, w e ll try to throw in a bit of fact and wrap liberally with comment both fromhere and from the field.. . Partic­ ularly from, the field. Toss in the tales, true wr imagined, about J ame s t own , Cedarville, B o w e r s v i l l e , Clifton and the general area. Maybe we can sift the past-greats from the l e g e n d . And maybe we can whip into life a few present-day he r o e s in the world of sports. This area certainly has the potential. Greeneview, with its outstanding basketball and baseball teams, breeds a hardy stock. Cedarville, where softball is king and basketball comes a close second, likewise is full of talent. For instance, check the bowling1records of such people as Martha Haines and that Adams-Thuma--or Fa rme r s and Traders—team from Jamestown. Or you c o u l d check the averages of a few people like Harold McCoy from up Cedar­ ville way. And there are many more hereabouts. Greeneview, we note, went through its first football sea­ son this fall. It must have b e e n quite an experience. Not only for the team, but> 1*0 for the fans. Can imagine some of the more eager basketball enthusi­ asts in the stands yelling "shoot" as one of the Rams neared die goalposts. . It wasn*t a particularly successful s e a s o n , true, but you gotta give a little time in b u i l d i n g up a new program. Jamestown's progress in the world of s po r t s t o o k another step forward. Next season—what with people watching tel­ evision, too—should provide a sports program for more in­ formed fans and team members alike. Greeneview just opened its basketball slate last week with victory over Spring Valley. This Tuesday night, the Rams were to face Dixie of Montgomery County there. F r i d a y night, Coach FredLong's quintet rolls against Xenia Wood - row Wilson on the Cadets' home court. Bowersville Jefferson currently is on a 2-2 record f o r the season. Cedarville's Coach Roger Ulsh is taking his knocks this year. He h a s a good sprinkling of talent am o n g t h e candidates but, so far, the r i g h t combination n e v e r has clicked. The Indians currently are riding a five-game los­ ing streak. Bowersville Jefferson lost its third game of the current sea­ son Tuesday night at Mar­ t i n s v i l l e after the buzzer sounded. Coach Warren T a l b o t t ' s Tigers we r e leading 64-63 as the final buzzer joined the referee's whistle. The whis­ tle won and Jim Hilterbrant ofMartinsville sank his only two points of the final period after the game had ended. Hilterbrant had s c o r e d 15 markers in the opining can­ tos, but the T i g e r s solved his s t y l e and k e p t him to nothing in the waning frames until the whistle-buzz com­ bination. Niel Gustafson a g a i n led the J e f f sc or i ng with 20 points. Bowersville led nearly the entire game, pulling out by as far as 11 points in the third quarter. Jefferson t r a v e Is to King- man next Tuesday. Both the Tigers and Martinsville now have 2-3 records. Results: Martinsville, 65. Jefferson, 64.
