Shaw Has Good Chance To Reach State Meet
Elyria High basketball coach Roy Wise’s team, the Cardinals, faces Cleveland Shaw in district play after a sectional win. A South win would set Shaw to face Akron Hower or Hubbard, with a state bid possible if South falls. Oberlin College captaincy notes Bob Kretchmar twice leading teams since 1925. Tony Wolodzko earns first All Ohio football honor. Wilbur Cowen named center on second All Ohio basketball team.
