Albany Trimble basketball saga ends in cancellation
Albany and Trimble failed to agree on game sites for the 1947 county league contest leading to cancellation after a peace parley failed to resolve the deadlock. Coach Elza Wood and principal Dewey Stone clashed with Roy Byers as County Supt Glen Hanes offered neutral site or coin toss as options. Ray Morrison resigns from Temple Owls and moves to Austin College in Sherman Texas after a long Philadelphia tenure.
