The first game of the tourna-

start. At the initial warmups, g.
e. Tim Dick Dish:on, of the Lap
wal. Idaho team, in dunking a
basket, pulled down the glass
blackboard, and it went crashing
TO the floor in pieces. The expert
attention of Jim Fisher and as

and the game was delayed less
than half an hour
Large crowds all three nights
and big attendances at afternoon
and morning sessions, as tourna-
ments go, was the principal fea-
ture of the first annual AllIndian
tournament.
