The ranks of the unbeaten will be whittled again tomorrow night when two of the area's highly-respected Class B aggregations steal the spotlight by colliding in a Tuscarawas County League contest. Gnadenhutten's rampaging Indians, boasting one of Ohio's longest winning streaks with nine consecutive triumphs without a setback, entertain the equally unsullied Strasburg Tigers who have copped the duke in all seven of their outings thus far. The Tribesmen and the Tigers, the latter defending district champions, are booked to tangle on the Indian hardwood with a capacity crowd expected. Strasburg is tied for the league lead with four circuit victories with the Midvale Blue Devils who are favored to have little trouble in disposing of the Bolivar Cardinals at Bolivar.*

A COMPARISON
*
The Fracas between Strasburg and Gnadenhutten appears to be a toss-up with comparative scores of three common opponnets aiding little in selecting a favorite. Strasburg, coached by Ken Newlon, has a slight scoring edge over the Tribesmen as the Bengals have averaged 72.1 points in their seven frays as compared to the enemy average of 51 points even. Gnaden, coached by Dick Scott, is averaging 71.6 points for nine games while Indian foes have averaged 50.7. The Strasburg forces have beaten Bolivar 62-44, Dundee 84-50, Tusky 64-42, Dalton 68-61, Mineral City 89-53, Midvale 69-58 and Baltic 76-49 while the Indians have gotten past Freeport 59-57, Tusky 77-60, Warsaw 75-50, Stone Creek 77-62, Dundee 92-23, Dennison 63-47, Baltic 87-60, Port Washington 64-63 and Tusky for a second time 51-45.
