DOVER - The Gnadenhutten Indians (1-0) held the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates (0-1) scoreless the entire last half to grab a 22-8 decision in the 2nd meeting of teams in the tournament. It was by far the toughest contest with players rolling here and there continually over the Legion playing court. A total of 23 personal fouls were called by Referee Wieck. However, Bahler was the only man ousted by the personal foul ruling.
Through the 1st half, despite the roughness the game was intersting. The Pirates managed 2 points on fouls in the 1st period against Gnaden's 4 points that came on a basket and a pair of fouls, the period ending 4-2. The 2nd quarter saw Sugarcreek count 6 additional points on a field goal and 4 fouls, while the Indians counted only 5 points, the score at half time being 9-8. Captain guard Alvin Williams and his Crimson and Grey playmates played a great defensive game in the last half, but Sugarcreek at the same time played ragged offensive ball. Ben Schreiner, center, was by far the outstanding star. He scored 9 of his team's points on 3 field goals and as many foul tosses. Guard, Gerber, led the Pirates with 4 points and forward B. Hostetler and guard Bahler both punched in 2 points each. Besides the 9 points scored by Schreiner, forward Ed Riley had 6 points and Alvin Williams swished 4, while forward Ray Blickensderfer contributed 3 more points to close out the Indian scoring.
