PLAYER ELIGIBILITY!
The big question before
the center cagers today is
the status of Zephyrs' Joe
Hamaguchi’s eligibility t o
play in the rec sponsored
league.
Principle involved is
the understanding that no
"outsider" can play in the
rec league games. Only of-
ficial residents of Amache
are eligible to participate.
The Broncos' alleged
protest rests on their con-
tention that Joe Hamaguchi,
not having any project of-
ficial record of either re-
induction or transfer, is
an "outsider"and therefore
ineligible.
And the Zephyrs, on the
other hand, contend that
Hamaguchi is on a seasonal
leave from Gila relocation
center and came into Amache
from Pueblo to get an in-
definite leave. And that
he is an "official resi-
dent" of Amache until he
gets his indefinite leave
and departs .
Athletic Director harry
Shironaka has called a ma-
nagers meeting for Friday
night at the rec office at
7 o'clock to decide on this
matter. We hope the mana-
gers' decision will be based
on the matter of principle
involved and not the teams
concerned.
PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
This time we have three
players , who in our opinion,
were the top-notch cagers
of the week.
No . 1. Sharpshooting
Chizu Kanda of the Rambler-
ettes. Chizu introduced
the casaba thru the hoop-
skirts for 26 points for
the best individual scor-
ing performance of the sea-
son to date--bar none.This
two-dozen-two tallies will
no doubt stand for a while,
we believe-with our fin-
gers crossed.
No.2. Next on the honor
roll is none other than
Tule's pride and joy,John-
ny Kashiwabara of the Yoores.
Although performing on the
losing side Sunday against
odds, his aggressive play-
ing was the factor that
kept the Yoores from be-
coming a "ghost" team. In
addition, John scored 15
digits to lead, the game's
scoring parade.
No. 3. And lastly comes
tall, tip-in artist James
Miyashima of the Dusters.
Better known to the local
sportsters as "Soapy,"Mi-
yashima used his height
and smooth under-the-bucket
playing to enable the under-
dog Duster cagers to pull
a close 39-41 upset against
the Yoores Sunday.
FROM THE SCORE BOOK . '
Looking thru the score-
book, we find last Sunday’s
Slaughterhouse-Hospital In-
dustrial league tangle pro-
duced exactly 45 fouls: 44
personals and one techni-
cal. This wholesale two
score and five rule viola-
tions are tops here in the
dubious foul-making circle.
It was like seeing a
football a n d basketball
games at the same time for
the price of one. Yep, it
sure was a sight!
DUSTERS-LAS ANIMAS VIE
IN "RUBBER” GAME TONITE
Brush Arai' s Dusters
will meet the oft-invading
Las Animas cagers in the
"feature" tussle of this
evening's three-story cage
program. This will be the
"rubber" match since the
Las Animas copped the first
tilt by a close margin,
while the Araians made it
one-all in their second
encounter.
Duster five bolstered
by the addition of smooth-
working Soapy Miyashima
are favored to come out on
the long end. While the
invaders have been greatly
weakened by the absence of
their sharpshooting Nob
Kuwatani,who is now attend-
ing Greeley State.
Most likely the Las Ani-
mas cagers will "shoot the
works” on Elmo Sakai and
Ted Maruyama to pull them
thru.
Idle last week with a
second round bye the Lil’
Abners of the "A" league
will hit the hardwood again
tonight against the Mus-
tang in a winless match.
The luckless Mustangs have
suffered two straight set-
backs, while the Abners
cagers were easy victims
of the speedy Broncos in
their initial start. Paced
by lanky Frank Komatsubara
and Jim Otsuka, the latter
five will take the floor
as a slight favorite.
The rugged "Butcher Boys"
and the Screwdrivers will
clash in the opening tussle
at 7:15 o'clock.Both squads
have 1-1 record in the In-
dustrial league standing,
which should make this an-
other rough-and-tumble
fracas.
FIREMEN ANSWER “ALARM” TO TRY
FOR THIRD WIN; GIRLS TILT SET
The high-flying Fire Department casabans will set
the nozzle for their third
straight in the single-A
circuit when they face the
rugged Hurricaners tomorrow
evening. Rusty Uratsu, who
holds the individual scor-
ing record in the "A"brac-
ket with 18 points, and
George Matsui are expected
to keep the Firemen's slate
unmarred. But don't count
the Hurricaners out too soon,
with Tomizo Joe and Goro
Sasaki heading the parade,
they should ' "blow" their
foes a tough evening.
In the 7:15 o'clock cur-
tain-raiser the Manjiette
and the Spurs sextets will
meet in another lassie fra-
cas. The Manjiettes scored
a stunning upset in their
league opener but were no
match for the Shooting Stars
last Sunday,while the Spurs
have yet to win a league
game. SharpsHooting Teru-
ko Miyano will give the
Spurs a slip art offensive
edge,but surest prediction
is to rate the contest as a
toss-up.
