FIRST TIME SINCE 1940 - Gnadenhutten's Indians (2-1) are the early leaders in the race for Tuscarawas County Class A Basketball League honors today...and they've done it the hard way. Coach Bob Gaume's charges scored their second straight one-point loop victory last night, topping Tuscarawas (0-2) 46-45 in the closing seconds of play on a free throw. The Indians, who now are idle in loop activity until December 5, opened their season last Friday night with a 51-50 margin over Baltic (4-2). Baltic broke into the victory column in league play last night with a 67-61 victory over Strasburg (0-2), the first time the Eagles had measured the Tigers in basketball activity since the 1939-1940 season. Records showed a string of 23 straight victories for Strasburg since losing a 30-29 decision 18 years ago. In other loop contests last night, Tuscarawas Valley (1-0) proved too much for Port Washington (0-3) 71-46 and Midvale (3-0) eked out a 54-52 conquest over Garaway (1-2). It was the opening league contest for Strasburg, Tuscarawas, Tusky Valley, Midvale and Garaway quintets.*
