Berne Bears Suffer First Defeat Os Season, 39-29

CENTRAL TEAM DEFEATS BERNE INTOURNAMENT Third Quarter Rally Beats Bears; North Side An Easy Victim Tasting defeat for the first time this season, the Rente Rears won' overcome by the Central Tigers of Fort Wayne in the final game of an Invitational tourney at South i Side gym Saturday night. 39 to 29. In the afternoon session, the Rears had chalked up their ninth consecutive triumph of the year with an easy 36-17 trouncing handed the North Side Redskins. Central had been none too impressive in scoring a 27-18 victory over South Side in the opening game of the tourney Saturday afternoon and Berne fans had visions of walking away with the bacon. However, Coach Mendenhall sent an inspired ball club onto the floor Saturday night and they proved too tough for the Bears. Berne made a real battle of the game all the way but a third period drive by the Tigers put the contest out of the reach of the Adams county quintet. Central amassed a lead of 7-2 and 9-4 in the first quarter bui the Bears pulled to within two points at 9-7 as the opening period ended. The second quarter was hard fought all the way and ended with the teams deadlocked at 14-14. The Tigers again pulled away in the third period aud held a 2820 lead as the final quarter opened. The Bears came within four points at 31-27 but Central again put on a burst of scoring power that gave the Tigers a safe lead. The opposing centers. Dro of Berne and Brawn Central's colored pivot man, were the outstanding stars of the final battle. Dro tallied six field goals, while Brown hit five times from the field. Sitko was Central's scoring leader with 15 points but Brown made many of Sltko's fielders possible. Felber, usually one of Berne's best scorers, was held to three points by an alert Central defense. North Side Easy . North Side failed to give Berne much opposition in the afternoon game, the Bears winning, 36 o 17. North Side scored a field goal midway in the first quarter and failed to hit again from the field until the final period. Berne piled up a 34-10 lead in the last quarter and Coach Erne inserted a reserve team, enabling North Side to cut into the Bears' lead. A fourth-quarter spurt by Central gave the Tigers a 27-18 victory over Soutn Side in the opening game of the tourney. Until the final period the game was a nip and tuck battle, but the Tigers, led by Brown, had the final spurt necessary to win.
