Finally finding the range, the Gnadenhutten Indians (2-2) (3-4) have now put together 2 straight victories. Four men hit for double figures for Coach Bob Gaume's Tribe which made 52.4 percent from the field. The Indians were led by John Hall's 24 markers, while Ray Rank followed with 21 and Bill Blickensderfer and Ron Clark followed with 14 and 12 points, respectively. Larry Hagan was tops for Port (1-3) (4-4) with 11, while Jim Bender hit 10. Coach Dick King's quintet, who Tuesday night upended Tuscarawas, lost most of its board strength too as Gnaden's Hall and Rank shared the spotlight in this department. Gnaden grabbed 32 rebounds, while Port snared 16. The Port Washington Reserves (4-4) put a hurt on the Gnaden Reserves (2-5) 37-28.
