Toy Wheeler...

It looks like the book was put together after the 1941 championship won by the Washington Hatchets and prior to the 1942 season. It has a nice writeup of the game...the tourney bracket as well. They beat Madison 39-33. In fact, the Hatchets shot 28.6% from the field that day!

I am looking forward to the Chicago National this year. I am going to try to attend.

Speaking of Indiana High School State Tournaments, here's a page from the scorebooks that contains the 1936/37 tournament finals at Butler Fieldhouse. Scott Armstrong, who is one of the listed players, went on to have a very good college and pro career.

Herky,

What's that a trophy of -- the Indiana state championship?


Thanks for the additional info about the Hatchets, Vintage Pat!

Toy Wheeler and MK...

With the recent talk related to Indiana Basketball, I went into my collection and found an item that you guys might find interesting. It is a 35 page tall format Indiana Basketball School publication full of plays from 1942 with Cliff Wells and Marian Crowley as key contributors.

If either of you have interest in this, let me know. I would probably want around $40 for it. I would throw in another similar 25 page publication that has a little bit of Clair Bee stuff and some football too. I hate to dilute the great sport of basketball with mention of another sport...but it is a nice bonus item.

I've attached an image of the front of the publication for your enjoyment.

Thanks, Pat

I figured I would revive this basketball thread with a recent pickup of mine. It is a trophy basketball from the 1923 AAU Basketball championship game between the Kansac City Athletic Club (KCAC) Blue Diamonds versus the Hillyard All Shines. The ball has National AAU Champions painted in gold at the top, and a large white painted diamond (I guess the diamond shape to coincide with their team name) that is decorated with the score and the starting 5 of the KCAC - George Williams Capt C, George Reeves F, Milton Singer F, George “Pidge” Browning G, and Robert Sanders G
