THE COURT HOUSE Kiwanis ^will sponsor the Girls Christmas Basketball tournament ht the High School gym on Dec. 26.27, and 30. The glamor teams from Atlantic City and Pleasantville will be missing, but it should make for a more evenly matched competition. • • • THE OLD SPORT has been reminiscing about great basketball players who represented Middle Township. Of course Ricky Harmon was the outstanding player ever to represent the Panthers. But before him there were Steadman Graham. Teddy Croitor and Craig Roberson — all 1,000 point scorers. AN ALL-STAR team would have to include Harmon and Graham at forwards, Croitor at center and Roberson andDick Seymour at guards. How about you basketball fans, can you come up with a better team?
