They practically ran a well-drilled and smooth-clicking Milton Union team into the hardwood floor of Whitewater college’s large gym Thursday night for a 22-12 victory in their first start in defense of the class B district tournament championship. It was the 15th consecutive district tourney victory for Delavan, which is bidding for its fifth title in a row.Whitewater City high cagers, coached by La Verne Johnson, collected their goals the ultra-sensational way to nip a lightning-fast Burlington aggregation,’17-16.The Delavan-Milton Union and Whitewater-Burlington “naturals” attracted a large crowd and completed the first round of play. In Thursday’s other game, opening the night’s excitement and play in the consolation flight, Elkhorn nosed out Lake Mills, 22-20.Semi-Finals TonightSemi-final games in the championship flight are ticketed for tonight, with Lake Geneva playing Edgerton at 8 o’clock and Delavan encountering Whitewater an hour later. Burlington and Milton Union clash at 7 o’clock in a consolation tussle. Final contests of the tournament, which is being broadcast by station WCLO of Janesville, will be played Saturday night.In bowing to Delavan, the clever ball-handling Unionites made but one mistake. They tried to maintain the same offensive pace as the winners and didn’t slow down until “bushed,” even though their coach, Carl Anderson, shouted at them frequently to “take it easy.” Milton was decidedly off in shooting, making ortly three baskets, two in the first quarter and one in theAll Primeil To GoLET'S TURN!ON THE RADIO AMO HEAR WHAT .PRATTLER'S CbCST To AY ABOUT IT-auShowering the speedy Delavan-es with attention, Milton led most : the way—5-3 at the quarter and 5 at the half.

The score was tied at 3-3 in the rst quarter and at 6-6 in the third anto, Milton holding a slight ad-antage at other times until late i the third frame, when Orlo ;rown flipped in a free throw to at Union's lead to one point, 8-7. onald Sheldon then sank two free irows in a row, placing Delavan head at the termination of the uarter, 9-8.That the Schultzmen were going continue their string of tournament victories became apparent atEvansville and Stoughton WilClash Tonight at Hub CityRebound SpecialistRosen Paces Attack for Evansville in Victory Over Wisconsin High.Stoughton—Evansville, unbeaten champion of the Rock Valley league, and Stoughton, winner of second place in the Southern Six conference, battle it out at 8:30 tonight for the championship of the Stoughton class B district high school basketball tournament.

The Watertown champ will meet the W’hitewater district winner in a regional game here next week, the winner to participate in the state tournament.Whitewater AWhitewater—“Dinty” Moore, one of southern Wisconsin’s veteran coaches and athletic director at Burlington high school for 14 years, is the coolest of all mentors at the tournament. He never “baits” the officials. Although his team didn’t get many of the breaks” in the game with Whitewater City high Thursday night, Moore didn’t register a bit of heat.All of the other coaches let it be known when they don’t think things are right by their boys. Outstanding in this group is Clyde Ewers of Edgerton, dean of Wisconsin high school coaches. He chatters from start to finish. Webb Schultz of Delavan is Ewer’s closest rival at letting off steam.Stoughton beat Monroe, 28-25. Wisconsin High and Monroe, also keen rivals, play at 7:30 tonight for third place.Evansville, although Coach George O’Neil declared his classy team did not perform as well as it did during the regular season in ringing up 16 straight victories, led Wisconsin High throughout. With Don Rosen featuring the attack with one-hander push shots from beyond the free throw lane, Evansville built up a 10-4 advantage at the quarter and added another 10 points the second period for a 20-12 halftime lead. The O’Neilmen increased their lead to 29-15 in the third quarter.D ii’nn V* i n-Wt ^ f 4 LSpectators were a bit at sea during the Burlington-Whitewater game when fouls were called on Dunham and Dudley of Burlington on the same play and Anderson of Whitewater was given three free throws, ail of which were missed.’ Referee Art Krueger called Dunham for hacking well up the court and Umpire Ray Petrie, who didn’t see Dunham toul and didn’t hear Krueger’s feeble blast on his whistle, assessed Dudley for blocking nearer the wicket. Krueger came to the bench and informed the scorers that two fouls had been committed. He explained later that Anderson was given an extra toss when a Burlington man stepped into the free throw lane while he was making the first pitch.Coach Schultz’ Delavan players certainly like to get out and run proving they’re in tip-top physical condition. They didn’t call a time out period against Milton, resting only between periods and on tht Unionites’ three time outs. During the regular season, which producec 11 victories in 13 games and thlt; Southern State championship, Del avan asked for time on only threlt; occasions.
