DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers (2-0) won its way into the semi-finals in the last game Friday evening by winning by 3 points over the Gnadenhutten Indians (1-1). It was their 2nd tournament victory, Stasburg having disposed of the Port Washington Purple Riders (0-1) earlier. Packed with thrills from start to finish, it was perhaps the most hotly contested game of the tourney. But the Tigers led all the way from the starting whistle, the Indians threatening only in the last few minutes. As he had led his team in their initial game of the meet, diminutive Art "Dutch" Miller, was the man uncontrolled by Gnaden. Miller scored 3 action shots and 6 fouls for Strasburg...a total of 12 points, in addition to holding Alvin Williams, Gnadenhutten guard who scored a lone field tally and a foul.
The 1st period saw Strasburg leading 6-1, Miller having scored all of his team's points on 2 action shots and as many fouls. Guard Paul Winsch scored on a foul for Gnadenhutten. The half ended 11-6 with Strasburgs' Junior guard Wil Dreher and Miller hitting for 1 fielder each, while Junior Fred Mears tossed in a foul shot. GuardsWilliams and Winsch of the Indians each had a fielder and Winsch also hit a foul toss. At the end of the 3rd period, the Tigers had piled up a 9 point lead, being in front 17-8. Hearing scored the only basket of the period for Gnadenhutten and Miller counted 4 fouls and Mears a long field basket for Strasburg. Winsch scored 2 foul baskets and Jack Hearing a pair of fouls in the final quarter, but Gnaden could not overcome the lead Strasburg had maintained.
