FORWARD AT GNADEN - Albert Blickensderfer, high scoring Gnadenhutten forward for this season, and upon whom Gnaden places confidence in cage tourney at New Philadelphia Friday and Saturday.
NEW PHILADELPHIA - In the 2nd Saturday morning game the Gnadenhutten Indians (1-0) and the Mineral City Tigers (0-1) had a bitter fight. Gnaden copped the lead from the Mineralmen in the opening and held it throughout the game, but Mineral City proved a dangerous foe. The 1st quarter ended 3-1 in favor of the Clay-Township cagers. The half saw them still in front with a 10-7 score and at the end of the 3rd period they were leading 14-10. Forward Albert Blickenderfer and Alvin Williams were the leading scorers for Gnaden with 5 points each, but every member of the Gnadenhutten team took part in the scoring.
Guard Calvin Birk led Mineral City with a quarter of points (4). Like the Indians; however, every Mineral City man scored at least one point. The feature of the game was a long shot by Guard Alvin Williams which clinched the victory for Gnaden near the end of the fracas.
