The final score, which was 80 to 30, is
an accurate gauge of the comparative
ability of the two teams as evinced in
that tussle. The Indians were plenty
good, but the Demons were just two
points faster.
After Myrtle, the Anderson good
fortune duck, had come forth to make
her customary curtsey, the Chaddmen
raced off to a 10 to 2 lead in the first
quarter. B"t even then the 1900 Jeffer-
sOnville itinerants failed to become
alarmed and the hometown thrOng
failed to become exIltant, and you could
see that the whole crowd was hep to
the fact that the Red Devils are no
ordinary team.
So it wasn't an intense shock when
the Francismen wound up in the van
of a 20 to IL figure when the half ended.
The Satans were bounding
along on 2 six-point lead with but
three short minutes to go. But
everything was tense. The IN
dams had been coming back with
brilliant rallies throughout the
skirmish and they kept right in
form by slicing that gap to 1890
at the half -a-minute post. Lam
bert, sub guard, got off a high
arched shot from the center of the
auditorium that was rushing
along in mid-air when the gun
sounded. The ball Smacked the
goal brace and caromed back into
Lambert's hands-but he didn't

Devils were walking off the floor
