DOVER - The Gnadenhutten Indians (4-1) earned the right to mix with fast company at Dennison this week when they knocked off the Dennison Railroaders in the final tourney game at Legion Hall Saturday night by 9 points. The losers did not take a bad beating however and up to the final minutes could have overcome the Indians with a little spirit. They commanded a 5-2 lead at the quarter and a 9-8 margin at halftime. Then the winners took away the lead and led at the 3 quarter mark 15-13 and finally, in the last minute of the 4th quarter, sank 5 points to turn a tight game into a drubbing.
Dennison's defense was especially tight, except for the last quarter and they held Gnaden to exactly 2 field goals in the 1st half. Forward Gene Ridgeway led the Indians with 6 points, followed by Jack Hearing and Homer Kohl with 5 points each. Dennison's center, Miller, picked up 3 field goals for 6 points leading his team.
