HORNET HOPES REVIVED  NOW—

Held Last Friday    *~j I f
The Hornets powered their
way into the Southeastern
Conference win column . . .
moving up to a four-way tie
for second place . . . with
their victory last Friday over
Dexter. The battle with the
Dreadnaughts started out as
a defensive contest, with both
teams scoring only 11 points
total in the first period and
only 18 in the second. But
the guest Hornets broke the
ice in the latter half of the
game, pulling ahead to a 29-
28 lead at the three-quarter
mark, and then burying Dexter under a blizzard of baskets in the final period.
In that last period, Saline
used a press, to great advantage. A- cople of steals by
Jack Starling, followed by
lay-up "baskets, opened up the
Dreadnaught defense, and
made some working room for
big Jim Carman, up the middle. As a result, the Hornets
outscored Dexter 20-8 in the
final quarter, and they took
the game going away, 49-36.
Saline trailed in the scoring, 5-6, in the first period
. . . and lagged still further
at the half, 13-16. But the
big second half did the trick.
Carman was Saline's top
scorer, with 16 points. Starling added 14.

In a non-league game with
Clinton Tuesday, Sahne again
produced a win with their
new brand of aggressive and
hustling, play . . . but as usual, the Hornets put their
fans through some very sus-
penseful moments before finally sewing up the victory.
After leading 12-6 at the
quarter, Saline over-reacted
to a Clinton press in the second period . . . gave Clinton
11 charity tosses in that one
frame . . . and watched in
some frustration as the guest
team sank 10 of them.
Largely because o f this,
the Hornets found themselves
in a 27-27 deadlock at the
half. They edged to a three-
point lead at the end of the
third period . . . and then, in
the final period, they more
than held their own to take
the game 58-54. In the* final
five minutes, Gary Ferguson,
Fred Franz and Jack Starling
each committed sweet laree^
ny . . . ste.aling the ball from
Clinton players to beef up the
Hornet side of the scoreboard. n
Gary led the Saline attack
with 17 points . . . and Jim
Carman helped with his 10.
And defensively the Hornets
showed considerable class,
too. Butch Hoelzer, Clinton's
.chief point-maker, had been
averaging 30 -per game .this

Will Return for
Dec. 30 Contest
During Christmas vacation
Saline cagers will entertain
Dearborn Riverside High's
team in a non-league fracas
Friday, December 30. The
Dearborn quintet is coached
by Harry Fosdick, himself a
Hornet cage star in the;- mid-
1940's. The Jayvee game is
scheduled to start at 6:30
p.m., and the varsity at about
8, at the Saline High gym.
Southeastern Conference
play will resume for the Hornets on January 6 . .. . with
Dundee coming to town for
"the big one", as Coach Don
Jaeger labels the meet. The
Vikings, traditional spoilers
for Saline, are perched i n
their usual position at the
top of the league, with two
wins,  no  defeats.:
"If we're going anywhere
this year, we've got to beat
them," Jaeger commented
this week.

season. Saline didn't stop him
but they did manage to cut
him down to 20. Clinton entered' the Tuesday game with
a perfect five-win record. The
Hornets cut that down, too.
Junior Varsity
Coach Jim Bradley's Jayvees proved themselves to be
bouncy comeback specialists
.in their past two games. After losing to Blissfield earlier in the week, Bradley's men
mowed down Dexter last Friday, 64-52 . . . then humbled
Clinton, 65-50, last Tuesday.
. In the Dexter game, scoring honors went to Rick Berry, with 19 points, Chuck
Wahl, 17, Tom Burr, 11, and
.Bob 'Girbach, 9.-Leading-irefe
bounders: Wahl, 18; Mike
Farrell, 12; Berry, 8; and
Girbach; 6. Saline dropped
in 25 of 61 field goal tries
for a .41 per cent shooting
factor . . . while Dexter scored 23 out of 56'. A big share
of Saline's winning margin
came at the free throw line,
where they poured in 14 bas-^
kets in 18 tries, compared to'
Dexter's 6 out of 16.

Wahl led the Hornet attack,

victory. Berry was the team's
top rebounder, spearing 12

four granddaughters of .Mrs. William Meister and their
12 friends last Saturday. The magic arrived at a Christmas party at the Meister home for Kristi and Tracey
Meister, Terri and Sherri Badour, in the form of magician Peter Sanelson. Mrs. Meister's daughter, Mary, and
daughter-in-law, Betsy, helped with gifts, games and refreshments for the group, and all in all Mrs. Meister
said of the day: "It was wonderful!"

Bailey Debates
Trick of Fate
Sometimes it's hard to decide which is the lesser of
two evils, John Bailey has
concluded.
Spec-4 Bailey could have
landed this week in Vietnam
-with- his;-tmit^utuhe. ^idhlfe-^;
The reason he didn't is "that
he's in a hip-length, straight
cast,' suffering irojn a severe
double compound fracture of
one leg and a mangled muscle. He had several blood
transfusions while hospitalized in Ann Arbor. He's now
lying in an Army hospital in
Pennsylvania, and he's not
at all sure he wouldn't just
as soon have landed with his
buddies  overseas.
The Army transferred John
from St. Joseph Mercy Hospital on December 8, and he
won't "be home for Christmas".
It hasn't been easy since
he arrived home on furlough
in November and was struck
from behind as he sat at the
curb on his motorcycle in
front of his parents' home,
the Edgar Baileys on Piatt
Rd., on November 28.
The Army has brought
charges against the motorist
whose vehicle struck; Bailey's
motorcycle.
Cheer-up cards may be sent
to Spec-4 John Bailey, RA-
16806293, A-3, Valley Forge
General Hospital, ' Phoenix-
ville, Pa.

agencies the total amounts
asked, it was decided that
since the surplus was possible through the generosity
of the Sahne area community, the Saline area should
benefit by it. Tha major beneficiary will be the Sahne Library. Our Ubrary at present
has 6,000 books. A community this size should have access to at least 10,000 books.
One thousand of these books
will be provided by the addition of $6,250 to "the library
fund. The remainder of this
amount is to be used to provide shelving for books and
to help defray the salary expense of keeping the library
open additional hours. This
will certainly be of benefit to
the adults as well as the
children, board members feel.
Mrs. Robert Todd, librar-
fanf^saidife^mbriey^'Mf^
used to purchase standard
fiction, non-fiction and reference books and also some
books particularly tailored to
the interests and needs of the
people in our own area. "We'U
start shopping as soon as we
receive some of that money.
This is wonderful; just what
we've wanted and needed."   "
Saline Recreation Commission was the other participating member to be aided
by the surplus. Over 600 children take part in winter and
summer recreation programs.
This number will increase in
the future. A total of $4,750
was given to be used for the
year-round program. Winter
recreation will use the money for materials for a retaining waU around the ice shelter at the Junior High School,
revamped vapor lights for
ice rink, benches, wood flooring in buildnig, and to help
defray the original materials
cost of the skatersj* shelter.
For summer recreation, improved softbaU Ughting and
a new Little League diamond
are forthcoming. Also, some
of this money will.Jjelp pay
for the unexpected*rise in the
cost  of  swimming program.
A special meeting wiU be
held in the near future to
elect new members to the
board of the Saline United
Fund.
A breakdown of the funds
received shows that $2,615.58
or 7.42 per cent came from
the city canvass during the
drive and $1,778.99 or 5.04
per cent came from the rural
drive in the vicinity. Employees' withholding pledges accounted for 55.57 per cent of
the total, or $19,586.89.
Industry contributed 25.11
per cent of the money, or
$8,852. The remaining $2,-
407.50 distributed came from
business, service clubs, building trades, the SaUne area
schools and SaUne Community Hospital.
Distinguished
Young Saline Man
SaUne Jaycees this week
opened their annual search
for the community's "most
distinguished young man" to
be honored at their "Bosses'
Night" banquet January 18.
The recipient of the title
and plaque must be between
21 and 35 years of age, but
he need not be a Jaycee member. One or more "honorable
mention" citations are usually given. All winners wiU be
announced at the banquet.
Last year the nomination
committee did not choose a
final candidate. The "Distinguished Service Award" is an
award by the Jaycees pointing out exemplary service by
a. young man for his service
to his community, and an
award will not be given unless, a candidate qualifies.
Jaycees encourage nominations from the pubUc, and
an entry blank for that purpose wiU appear in next
week's paper. Anyone may
fill out the blank and mail
it to John Proctor, 382 HU1-
crest. He is chairman of this
year's search.
MYI Annual   ■
Concert Directed
By Assistant
Only a small audience attended the annual Musical
Youth International Christmas reunion concert last Friday night at Ypsilanti.
Those who did attend
heard the usual fine chorus
under the direction of Ray
Voorhees. substituting for
Director Lester McCoy of Saline. McCoy had gone into St.
Joseph Mercy Hospital on
Wednesday for tests'-, the
singers were told, and was
not released in time for the
concert. He was stiU confined to the hospital as The
Reporter went to press.
Voorhees, his assistant,
had also substituted for McCoy last summer in Europe
when the director became Ul.
Charles Kirsh, director of
the 1965 band group, led a
number by the band Friday
night. Haydn Morgan, former
head of the Music Department at Eastern Michigan
University, directed his composition of "Instrument of
Thy Peace", which he had
dedicated earher to McCoy
and which the musical group
performed both in Europe
and Mexico.

Concert Series
Could Have Had
Larger Audience
The school concert series
just concluded entertained
many people during the last
few weeks, although the
smaU number who attended
the fine High School performance disappointed those
who had worked hard to
make it a success.
At Jensen Elementary-on
Monday night, in spite of terrible weather, music teacher
Mrs.   Ronald   Attinger   said
she   "felt  happy  with   it",-,
meaning   both the   performance and the attendance.
' Behind the scenes,  direct--
ing,   making   sets,   costumes
and  decorations   at   Jensen
were the fourth grade pupils.
and .teachers, Mrs. Fick, Mrs.
Quick and Mrs. Sehnierle.
The chorus was made up of
fifth and sixth grades, and-
Malcolm Danforth directed
the sixth grade band. Several
soloists performed, and a few
chUdren acted out the story
on the stage. Janet and Wendy Livingstone and Ron Attinger, liusband of the music
teacher, accompanied some of
' the singers oh instruments.
The Junior High concert"
Tuesday night "was weU attended" and a real treat.
