Sugarcreek-Shanesville's Pirates have replaced the Mineral City Tigers as one of the four teams on the special March of Dimes basketball doubleheader at Memorial Hall on Wednesday night, January 19, it was announced today. A check of rules and regulations for the current cage search disclosed that OHSAA rules prohibit member schools from playing two games prior to a school day in any one week. Mineral City meets Dundee on Tuesday, January 18, for a non-league game and cannot therefore play in the benefit. The return meeting between Sugarcreek-Shanesville and Port Washington, slated for the 7:30PM curtain-raiser, should be a "natural" inasmuch as the Purple Riders of Coach Bray Toot just copped a thrilling 67-64 overtime victory over the Pirates last Friday in a league game at Port Washington. In the benefit doubleheader nightcap, the Baltic Eagles will also be meeting a previous foe when they collide with the Gnadenhutten Indians at 8:45PM. In the earlier clash, the Eagles nipped the Tribe by a 59-52 count. Adminission to the games will be in the form of a 50-cent contribution with all proceeds being turned over to the Tuscarawas County March of Dimes.*
