INDIANS LOSE 3RD STRAIGHT

The Red Devils of Wheatfield whipped the Indians of DeMotte, 25-24, on the Wheatfield court last Friday night. We doubt whether we have even seen poorer shooting on a basketball court than that displayed by the Indians in this game. For example! in the first half, our boys took | fourteen under-the-bucket shots and/connected on only one. With this kind of shooting we doubt wheiher there is a team in the stdte we could have defeated. Only tight defensive play, which forced the Red Devils to shoot hurried shots from far out plus superior rebounding ability kept the game close. This Friday night Fair Oaks comes to town with their Cherok* ees. We hope our Indians feel sharp for this game.
