Saturday, the Tigers placed second, behind Goshen, in the Northern Lakes Conference wrestling meet, but they weren’t real disappointed about it. Why not? Because the second-place finish in the tourney allowed them to bring home the overall NLC team title. The Tigers had completed the regular season with a perfect 7-0 record against the rest of the conference. 50 Years Ago The 18 below recorded on The Times-Union thermometer from 8 to 9 p.m. last night, is believed to be the coldest mark in this city in 27 years. By noon today thermometers had struggled up to 5 below. On Jan. 22, 1936, a low of 19 below, was reported. Between Jan. 22 and Feb. 20 of that year there were 22 days of sub-zero weather. The all-time low reading in Warsaw was on Jan. 12, 1918, when temperatures as low as 28 degrees below zero were reported, and the Times newspaper on that date gave its own temperature reading as 22 below. 75 Years Ago Times All-County Basketball Team: Forwards: Junior Ferguson, Warsaw; Harold Galbreath, Pierceton; Wendall Blaine, North Webster; Robert Buell, Warsaw.
