JENA TEAM WINS SECOND PLACE IN NATIONAL MEET

Defeated by Athens, Texas Who Captures Title Second Time


LaSalle Parish has joined hands in making arrangements to honor Jena's
Juggling Giants who won second place in the national interscholastic cage
tournament at Chicago last week and who has brought more recognition to
Louisiana than any other basketball team has ever done. A banquet and general
celebration will be staged in their honor with the entire parish taking part.

The brilliant exhibition of the crackerjack little Jena giants reaching the
finals is bringing words of praise for the Louisiana youngsters from all
sections of the country. "Sparky Wade, captain of the Jena five was honored by
being selected guard of the first-string all-American team, while his teammate
Doughty was given honorary mention.

The fighting little Louisiana team battled its way through tough opposition
and just when the title was within grasp, the big Athens, Texas team, which
averages six feet two inches in height, walked off with the championship
despite a brilliant comeback on the part of the Jena lads.
