The second period was a repeti-
ton Of the frst. Augie players
failed to collect themselves. Time
and again they would succeed in
working the ball down the floor,
only TO miss the basket or lose the
bali.
Long shots. sometimes from the
middle Of the door. were made with
comparative ease by the Wabash

the Augustana flve-man defense
seemed to trouble the Hoosiers
worry little. every player of that

Augustana scored eight of its "a

the remaining points were made
BY free throws. Bengston succeed

Rydholm also dropped in d like
number.
No Breaks at Loop.
Several shots we're made by Au-
gustana players which looked like

out again.
Much credit for the Hoosiers
