to a split in weekend play as
they out hustled and out speed

against Whitefish while Alvin
Cobell and Lee Clark put on a
fine defensive display in the
team victory over Whitefish.
After a slow start the Pilots
came on strong to take a 1925
lead in the third quarter. The
Indians came back with a furi-
Gus fast break to score five
times before the Pilots got back
into the scoring column and won
going away. Juneau led the
Browning scorers with II points
and Whitefish's fine set-shooting
guard Saterlie hit l6 for the Wis
itors.
Big Sandy led all the wey in
the Saturday night game. They
held quarter leads of l4-9, 1920,
47-38, and 1850. Four of the
starters on the rangy Pioneer
squad hit in the double figures.
The Indians put on strong rally
in the third quarter when they
outscored the Pioneers 1911,
but the rally came too late.
Broesder and Lanning each hit
II, and Hammond hit 16, for Big
Sandy. Terry Gray led the In
dian scoring parade with II, fol-
lowed by Butch Brown with IL.
