Abe Hoogenboom, Mentone High School basketball coach, promised his players that he would walk from Warsaw to Mentone if they won the sectional tournament. The boys came through so Abe kept his promise. Carrying a basketball and in company of Floyd Rule and Max Friesner, Coach Hoogenboom began his 12-mile hike from the Warsaw city limits at approximately 1:30. He reached Mentone more than three hours later, tired but happy. Some of the players drove alongside in a car and provided Abe with nourishment every few miles.
Floyd Kirkendall won the prize offered Saturday at the Central Shoe Store to the person guessing nearest the correct total score of the basketball tournament. He hit the mark with exactly 579.
