The Red Devils marched into
Berry Bowl last night and humbled
LoganSport, 81 to IA, to put an end
! to a victory streak that extended
over % games. 1t was win number
eight for the undefeated invaders.
An overflow crowd of bowling fans
witnessed the battle, and cheering
was heavy for both teams as a last
minute rush from Jeffersonville
brought more than $50 Satan back
ers to the Berry goalry.
Demon Wall Is Solid
The Jeffersonville warriors, tall,
husky and not a little rough. pre-
sented a defense that barred the
Wellsmen from the under basket
area during the entire skirmish. The
Berrys had the best of it in possess
sion of the ball, but they couldn't
crack through to the netting zone.
They couldn't even turn to long dis
lance firing. The towering Satans
were set to smother every attempt
from the field. Insley, Logansport's
veteran pivot man, was held to one
field goal and he tailed that from
far out. After the first few min
utes Insley controlled the tip-off
from his taller rival, Thompson.
The first quarter was a defensive
skirmish, with both squads evidently
primed to sound out the opposing

on a short side shot. Carr and Fin

gift losses, as did Grote, Demon
guard, to make the mark, 3 to 2,

Vance tailed a field goal and a

dribbled football style the entire
length Of the floor to knot the
count. Thompson sped under on a
fast break and rolled in two free
throws for Jefersonville, and Insley
potted his lone goal to make the
score, 8 to 6, Jeffersonville at half
time.
Berries Miss Setups
The Berries took several setup
shots under the hoop as the second
half began, but a field goal by Carr
was the only Logan tally of the
third period. The Red Devils out
speeded themselves in the three
quarter session, missing a number
OF under-basket attempts as thew
crashed through. Andres hit a field
goal and Grote slapped in a foul
toss and the Satans led II to 9 as
the final session began.
Jeffersonville's touted Johnson
opened up and counted six points
on two field goals and two charity
throws in the final go. With the
Demons leading, 1919, Vance scored
twice from the field and the Logan
cltlzenry was up on its feet-back
in the fight again. But Thompson
tailed on well-executed follow-in
shot and Andres hit a free toss.
while Carr was making a single
point, to give the invaders the 81
to-l4 margin of triumph as the gun
cracked.
Fouls Are Plentiful
The basket eyes of both squads
were not up to their usual par.
Jeffersonville hit seven times in 81
tries; Logansport was good on only
five of 33.
The battle was exceedingly rough
and tumble in several spots. The
intense warfare resulted in two
black eyes, one player, Phillips of
Jacksonville, leaving the floor on
four personals in the last quarter,
and four other players winding up
with three personal fouls. johnson

smashed into Porter on an under

into Andres under the Berry basket
in the last quarter.
Cliff Wells Berries, even in de-
feat, were far above the ordinary.
They played clever, heads-up ball
all the way, but they were under
strain-too many victories! Sum
