RED RAIDERS LOSE THEIR FIRST GAME OUT OF NINE STARTS TO ELKHART QUINTET
Fast and Tall Opponents Prove Too Much for the Loeals Before a Large Crowd of Fans.
The Ligoniey Red Raiders formerly undefeated basketball team tasted a defeat last Thursday, that could have been a victory, had the boys played ball as they did at LaGrange ilwo weeks ago. The heighth of the Blue Blazers haq a lot to do with Blkhart’s win, ag they were able to control the ball, especially around and under the basket. - It looked at the beginning of the second half as if Ligonier would make their ninth straight win, but were unable to hold thg four-point lead which they had obtained at that time. Ligonier .led at that periogq 12 to 16, but had trailed the first quarter 2 to 7, and at the haif 10 to 12. Each of Ligonier’s first five men made two points during the first half. Vanette scored two- baskets at the beginning of the. second half and Lough one soon after, but the Blue Blazers came back and led at the third period 19 to 17. ~ In the final period Vanette put in 2 free tosses but the Blue Blazers came back with two baskets .gnd from that point Elkhart was assured of a victory. Mathew who relieved Lough in the last period was not in long enough to do much good for L.H.S. although he might have been invaluable had he played more of the game as Lough was unable to comfec: with the basket. :
