The lanky Kentucky center and forward was the main attraction as he wound up his basketball career here during the first annual tournament of the new Southeast fern conference. Unbeaten Led by Sale, came through the 1933 season un- beaten within = the Southeastern conférence, and went home with | the first basketball championshipg of the new group, after three years jof ‘having it almost within grasp. During his final season on the court, Sale played in 25 games and scored a total of 328 poimts. This included 135 field goals and 58 free throws—a scoring average for the season of 13 points per game. In 1932, Sale’s record was im- pressive, though not so scintillat- ing as that of this year. His scoring total as a junior was 233 points, from 99 field goals and 35 frée throws. As a sophomore he was a substitute, playing only a short; time in each game. Veteran observers of basketball turnaments. for more than 10 years declare Sale perhaps the greatest all-round player ever to perform in Dixie circles.
