At the close of the lirst half the score stood 14 to 11 in favor of the Indians and that the score was not larger was due to the fact that the Chem awa team had never before played in the gymnasium. In the second half the Indians woke up and got into the game in earnest, with the result that they scored 18 to the Zebras' 4 in the second half. In the last half the Indians' goal was seldom in danger. Superior team work and better throwing of baskets enabled the visitors to win the game.
