WEST LAFAYETTE - Gnadenhutten (5-12) battled all the way here Tuesday night only to lose a decision to tough West Lafayette (9-3). The Indians, falling behind 9-0 at the outset, rallied and trailed only 20-14 at the 1st stop. They kept pecking away at the Generals' lead and finally went ahead 38-37 at intermission. After 3 periods the count was knotted 56-all. But, superior board work and a tight press ondefense gave the General the victory. The Tribe of Coach Oren Thompson, rapidly improved over the early weeks of the season, played without high-scoring Gene Bates who has a chipped bone in his ankle. He was resting in an effort to be ready by tournament time. Freshman Bill Kohl paces theTribe with 18 points, sharing game honors with Generals Warne and Hostetler. Bruce Kohl, a cousin and Don Garrett both got 14. Medley, McCrea and Shivers all popped in 13 for West Lafayette.
