Ohio Class A and B Basketball Title Hopes Center on Hamilton Public
Hamilton Public and Lockland Wayne, Cincinnati's all Negro school, are the pre tourney favorites to win Ohio Class A and B titles at Columbus Fairgrounds Coliseum. Toledo Central Catholic is respected, while Delphos St John’s defeats Toledo Catholic and New Lexington faces balance questions against them. If Hamilton and Lockland Wayne win, a playoff could bring Cincinnati Arena a crowded conclusion with the Big Blue the only team to beat the colored squad by three points. West Virginia’s streak ends as Pitt wins in overtime. Westminster Pa remains unbeaten in a six decade run in its elusive home court strength.
