Coach Bray Toot's Purple Riders (3-3) (9-4) gained revenge for an earlier 59-44 non-league loss as they posted their impressive triumph over the neighboring Gnadenhutten Indians (2-4) (9-6). The Tribe trailed most of the game, but with Glen Hines hitting the bullseye from all angles, were in contention until the final stages of the battle. A double-barreled attack furnished by Paul Frank and Tom Jones counteracted the exploits of Hines and gave the Riders their fifth straight victory and an even 3-3 league record. Hines couldn't seem to miss as he burned the nets for 39 points on 14 baskets and 11 fouls, but Paul Frank came through with 29 points and Tom Jones added 24 for Port Washington. The Indians of Coach Dick Scott trailed at each of the rest stops, being on the short end of 24-18, 40-39, and 60-54. In the Reserve game, Port Washington (11-2) picked up their winning ways again by bullying Gnadenhutten 52-43.*
