League-leading Gnadenhutten (5-2) was never in trouble at Port Washington (0-5), taking a 21-11 lead at the first stop and then coasting on to their sixth triumph as against two setbacks. Hitting the 30-point mark for the third time this year, wiry Ron Bradley paced the Indians of Coach Bob Gaume with 34 points. Pint-sized Bill Phillips was the pacer for the winless Purple Riders with 23 points, while Larry Hagan added 14. The Seniorless Riders have now lost five contests, but will be eyeing their initial victory at Augusta tonight. It was the 14th straight league game loss for Port Washington going back to last season. The Gnadenhutten Reserves (5-2) started out the night by trouncing the Port Washington Reserves (1-4) 53-27.
