Both sides broke fairly fast and the crowd looked forward to an even-steven match. Augsburger Os the Archers proved to be the power behind the Fort Wayne team, bucketing seven of the Archers 13 points in the first period. In the second canto Fort Way.ne stomped all over the local boys without letdp. Augsburger started the melee sinking three quick goals in succession' A't thin point the Jackets* defense was shot through and ineffectual. Morrison appeared considerably weaker than he has In all previous games. Koons’ and Pollock’s performances were dissapointing; very inaccurate. The gap widened as Fort Wayne led Decatur 34-20 at halftime. The story in the third chapter was not quite the same although it didn’t seem to make much difference. The Jackets succeeded in tying down Fort Wayne to a respectable 11 points, but the locals didn't follow through.
