Did you get the permission of each (or next of kin) for placement of their names in publication?

Might you be invading their privacy and/or peaceful existence?

OK Retired what year did this rule change happen ??

During the first twenty nine minutes of a game,a player who was granted one foul shot would have two opportunities to make his point. If he made his first free throw, the ball would be put in play by the opposing team,but if the player missed his free throw, he was allowed a second try.

My sources (and calculators) say 115-101.

Sorry dinger it was a trick question,

Downey coached at Plymouth in 1936,1937,and 1938 and He also served as coach at New Salem in 1939 before taking the Rossville job in 1940, so Doweny's teams were 253-140.

I wonder what the capacity of that gym is now. They took out the bleachers on both ends and over all 4 of the entry ways.

Any idea????

dinger I got a reply and I believe what he says is right and here it is.

Willy gym capacity is around 1000. I’m not sure about seating capacity on both sides probably around 700. Dan

Thank you Dan Manus
