The Highland Park high school cagers did not do too be a job in the Hinsdale tournament over the holidays even though they did lose hold on to the lead. They had 39 to 37 and the Blue and White were leading with but a minute b.dï¬nlqurhrw.ri-.‘o-lyl points while Hinsdale coped 7 to Thursday, Jan. 4, 1951 and those that travelleed to Hinsâ€" dale could not help but think that basketball is on its way up at the local high school, No action for the boys now until they play Wauâ€" Bradley university, in effect, scored a holeâ€"inâ€"one at Highland Park‘s Bob O‘Link golf course in young 16â€"yearâ€"old caddies named Gene (Squeaky) Melchiore and Bill Mann met for the first time. Ever since they‘ve been inseparâ€" able. . . And today, they‘re the primary reasons Bradley is accordâ€" ed a high, wide and handsome rating in the national basketball picture. . . . Melchiorre, a Highâ€" land Park prep product (coached by Chet Carlson) and Mann, a 112. Chicago Austin wizard, graduated from the links to the U. S. Army, but even Uncle Sam couldn‘t keep them apart. . . . The pair played two years with Ft. Sheridan‘s mighty juggernautâ€"Vince Borâ€" yla, Bill Sticklen, Dick Foley, étc. â€"then headed for Peoria and Bradley in 1947. . . . In the past three years they‘ve béen instruâ€" mental in carrying the Braves to spectacular heights, including last year‘s acquisition of second place in the National Invitational, NCAA and Sugar Bowl tournaments. . .. Melchiorre â€"stands ~only ~5â€"8%â€" on fiptoes, at. thatâ€". whilea}igmoy a goodâ€"looking basketeer who still owns Austin‘s allâ€"time individual scoring record of~44 points in a single game, reaches 6ft. 1 in. ... This combination is marvelous to behold. They‘ve â€"played together so long that each knows the others‘ every move. Their phenomâ€" enal passing tactics on Bradley‘s famed fast break have left opponâ€" ents bewildered repeatedly. . . . n one play this season, Melchi< orre was working in the pivot ncar the baseline, with DePaul‘s Bato Govedarica guarding him closely. Mann was standing outâ€"ofâ€"bounds ready to put the ball in play and thus Govedarica and Melchiorre had their backs to him. . . . Mann rolled the ball throug Govedarica‘s legs, Melchiorre reached for the ball as reverse "English" spun it into his hands, faked Govedarica one way and hooked the other way to score. . . . "Naturally you had the play planned," a reporter reâ€" marked. . . . "No," replied Mann. "Squeaky just knew what I was going to do." /. . Mann is excepâ€" tionally cool under fire, a great natural leader who is deadly acâ€" curate from the field. And Squeaky is the best little man in basketball today. . . . Last March, the Squaky One sparked a lastâ€" minute Bradley comeback in the NCAA finals against CCNY with a ballâ€"stealing exhibition that amazed Madison Square Garden patrons, but the Beavers hung on to win, 71â€"68.
